"Aim your hydro pump at the ground and PUMP Blasty! Dodge that attack!" Blue ordered, and on cue Blasty rocketed himself into the air using his cannons, dodging the attack with an overwhelmingly fast swift in position. Within moments Blasty was soaring up to the roof, only for the jets to cut out at the last moment. Blasty would fire off another round of dragon pulses down at the pyroar, attempting to snipe it from the not-sky before he even landed.

"I wouldn't think humanity's evil is something worth celebrating and cherishing, but I guess you do you huh?" Blue replied, her tone making it clear she wasn't exactly convinced by the flare manager's speech. "I prefer to celebrate cuter things~" Blue continued, smirking devilishly. Meanwhile, Nidory...

...is pretty fast actually. She manages to dodge the oddly quick muk, quite limber for a pokemon of her size and body shape. However, Blue was not so lucky and was promptly grabbed. Her beautiful skin was no match for the unholy mixture of toxic substances that made up Muk, and she could already feel herself developing a reaction. Nidory looked at Blue in a wistful manner, but seemed to think twice about getting in there and trying to pull the liquid pokemon off of her. Instead, she cast a baleful look at the flare manager, who had made the fatal mistake of violating the rules of a respectful pokemon battle and leaving himself open. She then rushed him, attempting to dig her mighty horn into his torso!

p_1d20+4 (Nidory's Drill Rush)

Failing that, Nidory would once again swing her weight and try to catch the flare manager's dodge with her spiny tail, attempting to give him a good whack and potentially poison him. Without words, she had given him an ultimatum. If he insisted upon attacking her trainer, she would attack him.

Nearby, Blue grunted in displeasure as she attempted to pull herself free of the muk's grasp. "V-Vile slime, let go of me! Blue blurted out

The Pyroar crashed into the ground and seemed a little dazed by Blasty's avoidance of his Wild Charge. He was so thrown off he was vulnerable as another dragon bit into the Pyroar. The Pyroar jumped to the side however to avoid being bit by both. Pyro watched the Blastoise's trajectory before opening it's jaws to fire a beam of intense flames at the turtle.

While the Muk held Blue in it's grasp, the Flare Manager was vulnerable as Nidory came at him. His eyes widened beneath his glasses as she attempted to skewer him with her horns but he quickly stepped out of the way. However, he was not able to avoid the tail as he was knocked down by it's force. He was not poisoned by the blow but his suit did get torn a little. The site of his fabulous suit being ruined of course made the Flare very mad. "Slimer, use Swallow on the spy! Then distract this ruffian with Gunk Shot!" The Flare Manager ordered.

The Muk was quick to comply with his master's orders as he yanked Blue into his mouth despite her fruitless struggles. She would find herself inside a mass of putrid pollution as the Muk held her inside of himself.

(Roll a 15 or higher to break out of the Muk's pollution. Every turn you take 1d10+5 damage and you are poisoned)

The Muk then used it's other hand to take a piece of itself off. It then chucked that piece of slime at the Nidoqueen.

Blasty took the hit, but his very wet body appeared to be entirely non-flammable. Better luck next time, pyroar! This time, Blasty would summon an aura of darkness about his body before firing off two blobs of malintent at Pyroar.

Nearby, Nidory's eyes filled with rage as the flare manager seemed to misunderstand her ultimatum, choosing a third option where there was none to be found. She began to repeatedly attempt to slam him against the wall with her horn, viciously attempting to wound him. She would mix this up by swiping her spiked tail at him on occasion.

She then raised her head in a threatening manner, energy beginning to well up in her horn. She might not be very charismatic, but nothing swayed hearts and minds like the threat of a horn drill where the sun don't shine.

Meanwhile, Blue was submerged in a filth that promptly found it's way into her body. There really wasn't a whole lot Blue could do to keep it out, as it was powerful enough to absorb into her skin even if it hadn't been exposed to an orifice. She could already feel herself going into toxic and traumatic shock. Oh, Arceus... This sort of thing ought not to happen to pretty girls. She was tempted to scream, but the shock and the threat of inhaling the toxic sludge prevented her from doing so. Seeing as her body was already compromised and she could no longer protect herself, Blue began to thrash inside fo the Muk in a bid for freedom. Slender, feminine arms met elastic, toxic guts.

p_1d20-4 (Blue's Escape Efforts)

...But it was no use. Blue shuddered in disgust at her current situation and made the only reasonable choice possible at this time. She dropped all pretenses of a fair fight and pulled out a third pokeball. She hoped Jiggly would forgive her for exposing her to such a terrible environment.

p_1d20+2 (Jiggly's EXPAND BALL)

A burst of light was seen from inside Muk, and the pokemon began to expand and bulge outwards in a comical fashion as Jigglypuff inflated many times her size upon being released, forcing the Muk apart and freeing both Blue and Jiggly. The puff ball then promptly exhaled. Nearby, Nidory did not attempt to dodge the Sludge Bomb. It impacted her with considerable force, but she took the blow in stride. It was as if she was trying to tell the flare manager something. Something about ultimatums and him not understanding her.

p_1d20+5 (Nidory's Damage)

Blue took several very shaky breaths as she stepped free from the Muk. Her body was failing her and to be quite honest she'd never experienced anything quite so disgusting in her life. Her mind, however, was still racing. "...Jiggly, won't you put that muk to bed for me~?" Blue cooed, giving the flare manager a devilish look. All bets were off now that she was free. Seeing as Muk was both very strong and very agile, Blue had a feeling it probably wasn't the smartest or most resilient pokemon in the base. On cue, Jiggly began to sing, imitating Muk's brain waves to knock him out on the spot.

p_1d20+11 (Jiggly's Sing)

As Jiggly tended to the muk, Blue made her way over to the flare manager. Filth was dripping from her form, but this only helped her act. The crazy look in her eyes, the strained and fake smile upon her face. She withdrew a tube of lipstick and uncapped it, but rather than fix her own lips she pointed it at the flare manager in a suggestive manner. "...C'mere you sick freak." Blue remarked in a very bitter tone. "I'm going to give you a makover~" Blue would go on to continue in the most venomously sweet tone she could manage. The girl cackled in an erratic manner, fueled by a desire for vengeance.

The Pyroar was frustrated as once again the Blastoise seemed immune to his efforts. He however was caught off guard as he was hit by the Dark Pulse. The Pyroar's tried to regain his footing as the other hit. However the lion was too battered to stand up anymore. Pyro's legs gave out and he fell to the ground.

It would appear the Flare Manager indeed made a mistake as he found himself brutally beat against the wall. His clothes were even more ruined and his glasses became cracked pretty badly. The Flare Manager was not sure how this could get worst until his Muk started growing a bit larger until his mouth was forced open. It would appear everything went wrong as his Slimer was put to sleep and he was now defenseless as a very shaken Blue walked up to him.

His body was so beaten at this point and now that he was out numbered he decided to get out of there. "Sorry, babe... But I have to see a tailor. Later~. Shazam! Teleport!" The Flare Manager replied as he threw down a Pokeball and an Alakazam appeared from the Pokeball. In a flash of light, the Flare Manager and his Alakazam fled from the scene. This left Blue with time to regain her composure. The Flare Manager seemed to respect his looks so much he might not have the guts to get back up.

Blue stopped as she found she'd successfully chased the flare manager off. ...Huh! "...Blasty?" Blue asked, glancing to the blastoise. "Blast me." she would go on to command. She felt entirely gross, and getting the remainder of this toxic gunk off of her would contribute to her recovery. She felt terrible, but she still had some time before the full force of her infection set in. She'd need to see a doctor as soon as she got out of here. Plus, she was pretty sure her disguises wouldn't work if everyone in the base could smell her from a mile away. Blasty began to spray Blue with water, understandably at a far lower pressurization than he attacked the pyroar with. Blue modeled for the spray, twisting and turning to make sure it soaked every inch of her. She then began to run her hands through her hair, soaking it as best she could. Must... clean... self!

Finally, Blue was somewhat clean. She'd have to give her clothes and body a proper washing later but, for now, this would do. She quickly re-applied her lipstick and put it away before meandering her way over to the computer the flare admin had abandoned. Sitting down and crossing her legs, she began to try and search the computer for the data files she was looking for. "Alright. Nidory, barricade that door. Stop anyone who tries to open it.  Jiggly, start searching the room for anything useful, like an escape route or anything that looks like it might contain what we're looking for. Blasty. You stay here with me and look cute~" Blue ordered, shivering slightly.

[Coolshaymin]

As Nidory barricaded the door, there was a bunch of banging on it as the panicking went on in the other room. Then there was the sound of a ton of explosions by a solitary, "Skitty~".... That Skitty was clearly not safe to be around if it had that much power. The door managed to stay from falling over due to the Nidoqueen's skills however.

The thing they were looking for did not seem to be here... However, through Blue's expert hacking skills, there were building schematics and they apparently placed what they needed in a hidden part of this area. As Jigglypuff looked around, there was an out of place statue that looked like it was made after the Flare Manager. And the sunglasses were removable too to reveal a hidden passage in the wall... He probably never let anyone touch this statue for vanity reasons.

[Mari]

"Jigg--Jiggly!" Jiggly announced excitedly as she returned to Blue, who was by now copying the schematics of this building to her SmashDar for later use. Clearly, it would become useful again some day. Finishing that up, Blue turned to Jiggly and lolled her head at her. "Oh yeah? Found something? That makes things a bit easier~ Let's go, team." Blue announced, standing up and stretching her sore body for a moment before moving off to let Jiggly lead her. Nidory lagged behind, mostly because she just sort of stood there for a long moment, considering whether it was a good idea to let the door fall. That skitty was too spooky for her. After a long moment's deliberation, however, she promptly fled the scene in search of Blue.

Nidory would arrive to the scene of Blue giving that Flare Manager statue a makeover. "Who's a pretty girl~? That's right. You are~!" she remarked mischievously. One would note she had drawn all sorts of cutesy little drawings on the manager's statue in eyeliner. Satisfied with her work, Blue put her stuff away and climbed into the hidden passageway. She returned Nidory and Blasty as she did so, leaving Jiggly out of her ball. She then closed the passageway behind her. "Alright... Let's see where this leads" Blue whispered, looking up the building schematics to check as they meandered along. She was making a point to be cautious, just in case she needed to use her disguise again.

[Coolshaymin]

The secret path lead down a metal hallway that lead deeper into the area she was in. Apparently at the end was where they keep the more important information. According to the schematics, she just had to make it past a large room and there should be the area they are keeping the files she needs. As she approached a wall with a button next to it, that probably opened the wall, there was sounds of someone talking to themselves on the other side... A familiarly crazy voice.

"I thought we had those guys arrange these DNA Samples in alphabetical order! Why can I not find the Chain Chomp DNA Samples? They have to be around here somewhere.... I wonder how beaten that other guy is, hehehehehe," Iggy laughed as there were sounds of rummaging... It would appear the mad scientist was in the way to getting to the other room.

[Mari]

Heariny Iggy's voice, Blue would quietly return Jiggly and begin making herself over. She was still feeling pretty sickly, and so she felt compelled to take the stealth approach again. If she had fooled him once, she could probably do it again. This time, when Blue took on the flare manager's disguise, she made a point of visually mimicing the injuries he had before he fled. She then prepared her best, mediocre boy voice from before moving to step out of the secret passage and confront iggy. "That's a fabulous question if I've ever heard one." she remarked in an upbeat yet sarcastic tone. "I have another fabulous question for you." Blue announced, taking a step forward and raising her arms in a shrug. "Did you really expect that to be the last time you saw me?" Blue went on to ask in a very cold, distant tone. She stared Iggy down, attempting to intimidate him. Now that she knew he wasn't her superior, she could take this risk.

"You and me are gonna have a chat."

Iggy was staring at the what looked like a series of shelves that contained jars filled with various parts of various species. On the other side was a series of books on the shelves. On the other side of the room was a golden door that probably lead to her destination. The Koopaling was distracted until he heard the wall open up.

He looked very surprised when the "Flare Manager". "Oh, hi! You look pretty beat up," Iggy said awkwardly as he clearly was not expecting this. "The last of you? That is ridiculous!~ I knew you would survive," the Koopaling responded. "How did you get out anyway? I thought we teleport proofed the Dangerous Specimen lab," Iggy asked. He did not seem too bothered but he might be hiding fear.

[Mari]

Blue gave Iggy a very crooked, off-putting smile. "Yeah, you could say I had a rough day." she retorted in a tone that suggested her temper was running thin. "Not telling you my secrets is how I got out of that mess. Don't expect me to start now! ...Do you know what else got out with me?" Blue asked rhetorically, as if to scold Iggy. "Your pet, along with all of the dangerous specimens." she stated, coughing once or twice for effect. "Worse yet, someone defaced my wonderful statue. ...So here's what's going to happen. You're going to go fix the mess you caused. You're going to help those clowns out there. Blue continued, pausing a moment for dramatic effect and daring Iggy to speak up with her eyes. She was attempting to play his emotions like a fiddle.

"You're going to do a good job before you leave today, and if you work hard enough... maybe I won't start hunting you down in the morning. Now, get out of my sight, before I feed you to Slimer!" Blue would finish, raising her voice and coughing several times as the impression of a sick male strained her throat. Huh. This felt pretty good, actually~! She hadn't really understood why anyone would ever tell their pokemon to eat someone, but it did feel kind of empowering as a threat.

Iggy looked more down as Blue went on as his crazy self was becoming more pale under her incredible pressure. "H-how did they escape?! I-I will get them locked back up quickly. They will not cause any more trouble soon," Iggy complied.

As he walked towards the secret passage though he stopped. "... Um, did you leave the secret path open?" Iggy asked before a really loud mew blasted towards them and Iggy was sent flying and crashed into the wall and fell down as he got knocked out. Following this came a overly happy sounding "Skitty~". It would appear the psychotic Skitty followed Blue all this way and was smart enough to figure out the secret passage.

The Skitty approached Blue with an innocent smile on it's face. Given how much destruction this Pokemon is capable of, can it really be reasoned with? Is fighting it a good idea either? This Skitty clearly had some intense force of power and it had no mercy it seemed. Still, the Skitty did not immediately attack Blue as it got closer. Perhaps it was observing her reaction first?

Blue jumped a little as a blast of energy sent Iggy flying. Her gaze turned toward the skitty as it approached, but she made a point not to stare. Watching cats directly was a bad even under normal circumstances. Although she was probably sweating up a storm, she knew a thing or two about cats and if she wanted to avoid a fight she'd have to give this her best shot. Thus, she forced herself to put on an act of relaxation for the skitty, languidly blinking her eyes at the other in an almost lazy manner. A single word escaped her mouth during this time of strife.

"Skitty"

Blue wasn't just calling the pokemon's name however. She was immitating it's greeting. See, Skitty? Blue was one of you! Clearly.

tHGb|HVyp_1d20+7 (Blue's attempt at harmonizing with the skitty)1d20+7

[Coolshaymin]

The Skitty tilted it's head at Blue as she made a mimicry of the sound she made. The way Blue was refusing to look at it for too long directly confused the cat Pokemon even more. It still approached but it slowed down as if it was not sure at the moment what to think of Blue's act. The lazy manner of blinking also threw the dangerous feline as it considered Blue's actions.

The Skitty stared Blue down as if it was onto her. It was an animal but it was not blind so she had a bit of trouble believing Blue's attempt at becoming one. Supreme Skitty is onto you, faker! Still, the feline did not strike Blue as she approached. It was hard to tell what was going through the feline's mind. The Pokemon gave a low hiss at Blue's attempts to trick it. It would seem Blue made her angry... But if she was, why did she not attack yet?

"Skitty," The Skitty said as it stopped it's approach for a moment. She moved her head in a way that seemed to indicate she wanted Blue to come to her. Considering the cat Pokemon had that constant look... It was hard to tell what the intentions of the Skitty was or what it would do if Blue got closer.

[Mari]

Skeptical Skitty? Now that was just ridiculous. Clearly she was just a human shaped skity. ...A skitty at heart? Something. Blue would meander forward and squat down in front of the skitty. Somehow she doubted cats were into being towered above. Folding her arms over her knees, she watched the skitty in a still very relaxed 'looking' manner. She laid her hand out before her in offering. She made a point of keeping her hand limp, palm facing away from the skitty, so that it couldn't mistake the gesture for her moving to grab it. The skitty would not have to move far if she wanted to sniff the offered hand. Blue definitely didn't smell like the flareon manager, and her power bath courtesy of Blasty had washed away most of what wasn't her natural scent.
