The next few minutes went by rather calmly all things considered. I an Anubis/Lucario was outnumbered 5 to 1, and yet he managed to keep the situation at a stalemate.
He managed to match Priape hit for hit, blocking all its attempts at hitting him, which was much harder than it sounded since he had to keep an eye out and block any attacks coming from Graveler, Arbok, Raticate, and Fearow as well.
All things considered, my boy showed an enormous amount of battlefield awareness. He actually managed to retaliate once or twice even under the pressure he was in. For example, he managed to Bullet Punch Fearow while it dive-bombed at him with a Drill Peck, and I thought for a mont he was going to bend its beak.
Well, it got spared the sha of having to eat through a straw, but it got flung away and crash-landed quite a few ters away, buying Anubis so ti without Fearow circling above his head.
His kicking away Raticate when it tried to ambush his side as if he was a professional footballer was a close second as far as replay-worthy monts during the match, sorry, I ant battle were concerned.
Graveler and Arbok were the lucky ones in this whole thing since they were keeping their distance, so the most attention Anubis could spare for them was to lob Aura Spheres at them whenever he could to interrupt their cowardly sniping from afar.
Well, at least it was considered cowardly if the other side was doing it. Obviously, I did not forget to taunt Nate and attack his confidence as well as his pride. I might have involved his ability as a man and said that he was targeting/abusing those weaker than him because he was a little b*tch.
There was so other stuff that actually attacked him on a psychological level, but I kept those above a certain boundary since I kinda did not like using childhood trauma like that even if the target was scum like Nate. There was so much more I could use as an alternative, so I had no problem leaving the deep-seated childhood trauma alone.
Anyway, around six minutes into the fight, Anubis was forced to change his strategy since he had to do too much and he was burning through his energy much faster than he would like. He knew the purpose of this whole exercise and decided that manipulating the battle flow to have Priape involuntarily block so of the attacks ant for him would fit right in.
Raticate as well as Fearow weren't spared either, and after the third ti, the two beca more hesitant with their ambushes. anwhile, Nate was ranting and getting all angry at , Anubis, and his Pokemon. Anubis as well as little old for obvious reasons, and his Pokemon because they could, in his words, not even beat a single b*stard while ganging up on him.
He threw shit at them each ti they ended up hitting one of their own and he even began disparaging Priape because he allowed himself to be led by the nose by Anubis.
Honestly, once he began insulting his own Pokemon, I was pretty sure I was starting to really get to him, and that he was starting to realize that he won't get away. By the ti he began insulting his Priape, which was extrely stupid by the way, I knew that Nate was no longer thinking straight at all.
I an no ntally sound person would insult a Priape, not to ntion one that was fighting for oneself and one's freedom. I an, Priape were not known for their good temper and there was only so much shit talk a Priape, regardless of whether it was a recently capture one, an old team mber, or even the starter, could take before flaring up.
I knew that, and Nate knew that as well. Heck, everyone knew that since it was sothing we got taught at school. Priape and Mankey were relatively common in Kanto after all, so every kid knew the do's and don'ts involving that aggressive Pokemon line.
Yet, here we had Nate disregarding what was pretty much common sense, indirectly, or directly depending on how one looked at the situation, proving to that he had gone off the rails.
The whole thing ca to a head when Lucario went all taichi on Fearow and redirected its nosedive straight at Priape who was about to ga Kick him below his belt. Fearow ended up catching the kick with its head and the resulting sound of that eting did not sound good at all.
Fearow drew a parabola in the air for a mont before crashing into the ground and sliding along the ground until it ca to a stop. It remained unmoving after that and if not for the slight rise and fall of its chest along with the weak life signal I could sense, I would have thought that Fearow might have died.
Priape actually froze after it struck Fearow, and I could see it following Fearow's flight and subsequent crash with its eyes. I felt the smidgen of relief Priape felt when it noticed the movent coming from Fearow's chest, along with the frustration as well as anger that had built up throughout the fight, and just as one would expect of the species, there was a lot of pent-up anger and frustration there, just waiting to be fully unleashed.
Well, as we had previously established Nate had gone off the hooks so ti ago due to his own anger and frustration, so when Anubis made use of Priape's montary distraction to knock out Raticate, Nate ended up providing the trigger for Priape to do the sa.
Words such as "useless", "blind", "stupid", and "shit for brains" were thrown out and as soon as the last one left his mouth Nate had a mont of clarity in which he regretted going ballistic on Priape. It was one of those monts when soone says sothing and regrets it as it cos out but even though one wants to take it back, it was already out there and the damage had been done.
Well, Nate had exactly such a mont, sponsored by yours truly, the mont he saw the popping veins and flared nostrils of Priape along with the angry glare directed at him. Before he could apologize or utter any excuse, Priape went apeshit crazy.
It completely ignored Anubis and rushed straight toward Nate, who stumbled backward in panic while screaming for Graveler and Arbok to stop Priape. While Nate kept creeping backward, Graveler and Arbok did their best to restrain Peiape, but holding back a furious Priape was really hard, especially if that Priape was stronger than oneself.
The only reason they managed to keep Priape away from Nate at all was because they were double-teaming it. Sadly for Nate, they only managed to stop Priape for a minute before it managed to grab ahold of Arbok's tail and flung it away, hurling it straight at Anubis, who did not decline the ho delivery and knocked Arbok out within a few monts.
Coincidentally, Graveler got knocked out by Priape at nearly the exact sa ti as Arbok did by Anubis. Honestly, from the way I saw it, Graveler pretty much stopped honestly resisting after Arbok got flung away. It simply put up a symbolic struggle before it allowed itself to be knocked out, and frankly, that was rather smart of Graveler since it saved itself from any further needless suffering.
On the other side, Primape did not bother with the downed Graveler after taking it out and instead stalked toward Nate, who had gone really pale. I was honestly a bit surprised that he had not peed his pants yet. I an I could feel that he was scared enough to do so, but sohow he managed to keep his pants dry.
Nonetheless, Nate was genuinely scared and first tried to calm Primape down before right out pleading for Priape to calm down. He beca hysterical when he saw Priape still heading in his direction, though admittedly, all that pathetic pleading and groveling seed to work since I could feel Priape actually calming down.
Though as I said, it kept heading towards Nate, which was why he got increasingly frantic. Honestly, Priape had actually cald down quite a bit by the ti it was only a step or two away from Nate, so everything would have been fine if Nate had not agitatedly scread at Priape to calm the f*ck down.
That shout ended up raising Priape's aggression level back up, making so good old Pokemon on trainer action appealing once more. Unfortunately, I still had to hand Nate over, and he had to be in one piece, so when Priape raised his hand, presumably to b*tch-slap Nate, I asked Anubis/Lucario to stop it before it could bring its hand down.
Still, the distance between them was big enough that Anubis stood a good chance of being too late, and that was enough for Nate to release an outcry and finally lose control of his bladder. Seeing Priape about to strike him, he wet his pants, and thus lost the last shred of dignity he had managed to hold on to throughout the whole drama.
When it seed like Priape would manage to slap Nate after all, I requested Thor/Raichu to interfere before Priape's palm could connect since I obviously could not allow that to happen due to my mission.
Thor made blitzed forward and used his tail as well as Psychic to follow my request. With Priape immobilized, I began walking toward the unfortunate duo and Anubis ca to my side to accompany .
Still, since the whole capture/punishnt thing was done in my mind, I began doing my best to calm Priape down. Thankfully it worked, as Priape pretty much stopped struggling against Thor's Psychic hold, and after so additional work, Priape allowed itself to be lulled into sleep, leaving Nate truly alone with us.
The guy seed to be aware of that as well since his nervousness first dropped for a mont when Priape fell asleep before the nervousness returned and even surpassed the previous level. He flinched when I stopped in front of him, and he actually looked quite pitiable when he cried out after I raised my hands.
Still, unlike what he expected, I did not do that to hit him but to grab his Pokeballs instead. He got even paler than before when he saw his balls floating above my hand. I ignored him for a mont and began recalling all 5 of Nate's Pokemon. Once they were back inside, I set the balls to "sleep mode".
Only after that, did I turn my full attention to Nate, and honestly, seeing the state he was in, I did not even bother ridiculing/provoking him any further. Instead, I just calmly told him that he had lost and that I was going to capture him now.
Nate actually showed signs of relief when I told him that it was over, and I could not help but feel so pity for him even though I was pretty much the one that put him in this state in the first place. Nonetheless, I cuffed him before calling the number of Mr. Caron to tell him that I had completed my part.
Our conversation was pretty short since he was busy, but it boiled down to him telling I had done a good job capturing my target, and that soone would co over to my position to take Nate into custody. Less than 10 minutes later two aura users showed up and after they said the agreed-upon handover command, I left Nate to them.
With the handover complete, I was now done with the mission. Well, I actually still had to write a battle/mission report and hand it to Mr. Caron, but I did not count that since it only involved writing a report. I finished that up in less than an hour once I was back ho, and I sent Mr. Caron the report as soon as it was done.
I got a reply that I would receive my rewards as soon as the operation was done and the results were recorded. I knew that would take a few days at least and I did not mind all that much. Instead of bothering with that, I took a nice warm bath to relax since I really needed to do that after the events of the day.
