[So here's Meowth, who, under the cover of darkness, is making like a good Pokemon thief and breaking into the animal sanctuary. Sadly, the castle wouldn't give him a giant mecha to make this as appopriately dramatic as possible and even if Jessie and James were here, he wouldn't be able to say the motto, so... Subtlety is also good. Really.

He has yet to realize the castle has inflicted a Loss on him and is more focused on picking the lock on the door with his claws. Surely, no one's going to be wandering around town at night to catch him. His luck can't be that bad, right?

Right?

Something startles him and he hits the ground, journal falling open beside him. It manages to procure a few interesting claw marks as he scrambles to close it, which might alert anyone's attentions to something being amiss, but Meowth isn't deterred. It's closed now. It cannot incriminate him- yeah, someone's been extra paranoid since he was informed the journals like to start dictating without your permission.

Journal put aside, he resumes picking the lock... Seriously, does an animal sanctuary really need a lock this hard to pick? It's like they don't want anyone to steal their Pokemon.]

[OOC: Available both in person and over the journal if you're wondering about the suspicious claw marks. Have at the currently not-talking Pokemon.]

Hey, unless you're hungry or want to get adopted, you gotta get out of here.

[LALALA. NOT LISTENING. He pounces up on top of the first cage that looks like it might hold a Pokemon and breaks out the claws again, this time to work on unlocking the cage.

Yeah. He's audacious. Gold has no Pikachu and thus Meowth fears NOTHING.]

What the--

Ataro, go get him!

[Scraaaaaatch attack!]

[OH SH-

ABORT. ABORT. DODGE. EVASIVE MANEUVERS. SOMETHING.

Or... Meowth could just fall off the cage like an idiot. That's a good evasive maneuver. Except now he's irritated. Hello, claws. Lovely to see you in attack mode. NOW TASTE HIS KERATINOUS FURY, MONKEY BOY.]

[Ataro quickly uses double team to evade]

Go ahead and knock him out, I don't have any Pokeballs.

[Even in the midst of a heated battle, there is still a five second window big enough that Meowth CAN STARE AT THIS KID LIKE HE JUST CALLED HIS MOTHER A WHORE. You can't just CATCH him. Or suggest that he can be caught. THAT'S LIKE WALKING INTO MORDOR-

...Oh right. Battle. Maybe he should cut his losses and make a break for it. Better than getting knocked out and caged like an animal. Yep. Definitely. No cowardice here. Just strategy.

And speaking of strategy... Meowth launches an attack- not at the Aipom, but at a wall of empty cages. Enjoy that, boys. He'll be escaping. LIKE THE BAT.]

Ahh! [Gold is now buried under a pile of empty cages. I guess you can make the argument that it is a cage made out of empty cages.

what do]
