The Rhyperior bowled the two smaller Pokémon aside with a powerful Bulldoze, shaking the ground around it and creating large cracks into the road. People were busily screaming and scattering, a few older people trying to grab Rodrick to evacuate him. Sungrok had by then appeared, and the Rhyperior screeched when Prius blew an Ice Beam into the Pokémon's face. Thrashing around feebly, it tried to get the glazed ice off its face before knocking the Porygon2 over with its flailing. The attacks from the Vanillite and Pansear had done little but enrage it, yet the Porygon2's skillful single strike left it unable to see. Ironic, considering where the attack had come from. Shinhye released Avery, who immediately prepared a combined Psybeam-Ice Beam combination with Prius. The Ice Beam was slowed and formed thick shards that pierced the Rhyperior's hide(riddled with cracks from the earlier onslaught of the Vanillite and Pansear), leaving the Rhyperior howling in pain as it crumbled onto fours. The breathing of the Rhyperior was heavy, almost at its last ropes as Sungrok fished out a Heavy Ball from deep within his trenchcoat.
Clicks behind him caused the man to only smirk. "You wouldn't shoot the region's only dimensional specialist," he jokingly threatened, and the policemen behind him began muttering amongst themselves over how true his words were. A policeman spoke up- 'you'd need to ensure that the Rhyperior won't cause mischief-' but Sungrok had already accidentally on purpose let the ball slip from his hands. The ball consumed the large dinosaur-shaped golem, and clicked once to signify a Critical Capture. Prius picked up the ball inside his translucent body as Sungrok was handcuffed over the police car for 'owning a dangerous Pokémon'. The eccentric physicist only laughed in disbelief and amusement as he was shoved into the car, and the people were beginning to disperse with a few mutters of how violent and unpredictable a man Sungrok was.
Shinhye could only scream as the car drove away with Sungrok still in it, her eyes confused and heartbroken.
"He just saved them...how could they do this to him...?" she whimpered at last as Avery trotted over to her side and rested a paw over her shoulder.

Rodrick was shocked by the turn of events. Even he and his Pansear and Vanillite had gotten in no trouble for attempting to assist in the events. Was it just because he was so young? He was confused when he should have played an equal role, shared with the girl who was currently very upset and her Braixen. He also noted that Risa, a highly competent trainer he was familiar with from the battling pits was there as well, though she had made no efforts to assist or battle with her Pokemon. Maybe she felt it unnecessary? Rodrick was not sure but he was indignant and wondered if the only reason Sungrok had been taken away was for catching the Rhyperior so skillfully or if it was just battling in general, which was unfair and biased against the girl and himself. Plus, Sungrok had been really nice to him when they had met so he was a bit angry that he had been taken away, though confused at his calm attitude. He was a flurry of emotions at the moment and walked up to Risa and the girl, who seemed to be the only people in the area that knew what was going on, probably because they arrived with Sungrok. "Why...why did they take away Sungrok?" he asked timidly. "What exactly was wrong with him b-b-battling?" he stuttered and Willis and Jax rushed to the young boy's side to comfort him. --- Risa was surprised to say the least. But most of all, she was in awe of Sungrok's carefree attitude to the whole situation, almost as if he was mocking the police still even as he was carried off. She bit her bottom lip and swallowed, holding Shinhye and rocking against her softly as she sobbed and screamed and whimpered, trying to calm her down. "There, there," she awkwardly attempted to soothe her new friend as a small boy and his Pokemon walked up to them, the one that had been attempting to handle the situation earlier before Sungrok and Prius arrived and the one that had battled in the arena earlier in a different age division. Though she instantly recognized the youth, she was still startled and confused by his precense as he approached the pair.

Shinhye was terrified when Risa first hugged her, but yielded as she broke down in her arms. Another boy had approached them, and the girl shuddered with tears as Avery nuzzled her quietly. Hiccoughing herself to silence at last, she let out a sniffle. "I-I need to go and bail him out, or something," she stated at last, "Or at least tell my dad..." It was of no surprise that neither Shinhye or Rodrick were arrested since they were both underage, and Risa hadn't been arrested since she hadn't used her Pokémon. Some builders had appeared with a couple of Machokes and Gurdurrs to patch up the cracked road, and only the trio were left at the sidewalk. A Meowth watched them from the sidelines, adjusting his scarf once more as his eyes searched the trio. In his paws, he held a torn-off chunk of rock that seemed oddly familiar. He laughed, tossing the rock aside before retreating into the darkness. There really was nothing he could do. ---- "Oof. It's kind of dark in here," hummed Sungrok as he was led through the hallways. Prius hovered out of reach of an angry mob of policemen, before the Porygon2 was digitally locked down. "Oh dear, don't hurt him, he's just a bunch of pixels and his Pokéball isn't with me," the physicist responded, before the chained up Porygon2 was tossed into his hands. Both of them were shoved into a jail cell, the only thing keeping them wakeful was the loud chatter of the policemen about rumors of the underground fighting and how they needed to find access to it in order to crack it down. Prius crackled angrily against the digital bonds holding his down, trying to yield the Heavy Ball from his systems to pass to Sungrok. At last, with a light 'plip', the ball fell into Sungrok's upfaced palm and he slipped it into his pocket from his handcuffed hands.
The news reports came up about some sort of uprising in Kanto- widespread protests about the usage of Pokémon for non-showing purposes. Sungrok perked as he turned Prius's camera towards a hole in the bars to watch the screen, and the policemen began laughing amongst themselves about 'how lax' Kanto's laws were. They neglected to pay attention to the last part of 'Pokémon are beginning to grow increasingly feral in the wild, many have begun breaking into houses and hurting humans in order to assert authority- attempts to cull the Pokémon have failed as more and more such wild mobs have started overrunning human settlements to use as their own homelands'. The news report trailed off with 'this phenomenon is widely blamed on humans constantly expanding into Pokémon habitats and forcefully taming them against their will- specialists have stated that Kalos and Unova will be expected to face such problems as they are highly industrialized...' and the physicist habitually turned the Heavy Ball inside his pocket lazily.

Risa nodded slowly and followed Shinhye. "I'm going with you," she said determinedly. She had stayed out of the fight for her own reasons but Sungrok did not deserve to be locked up for something like this. Besides, it just further proved in Risa's mind what an idiotic, self-serving, self-assured punk he was. However, his actions had been selfless and noble up until his capture of the Rhyperior so she was trying to look on his positive notes and besides, he was Shinhye's brother and that made going to help her friend bail out her brother the morally just thing at any rate.
The small blond boy, Rodrick, nodded and piped up, "I'm going too. The Professor is my friend as well and he was very kind to me and saved a lot of people here. We all owe him enough to go bail him out and you'd better not think of heading in without me." Risa was hesitant because the boy was so very young but he seemed confident in himself and had the same glean of stated determination that Shinhye was exhibiting over her brother's captured situation. Unsure why but figuring now was not the time to question it, she curtly nodded her own approval and the boy, Rodrick, smiled and his Pokemon stood by his side with gleaming eyes.

Shinhye shuffled soullessly in the direction of the police station, suddenly listless. The girl seemed drained without her brother, and visibly worried about his condition. As they passed an electronics store, she paused and looked in horror at what appeared to be a sudden Gogoat stampede in one of the Lumiose exits. Rhyperior was not the only Pokémon to express distress over the situation, and Shinhye turned on her heel to change her course. She needed to go investigate. Why were wild Pokémon that were usually docile suddenly showing signs of aggression? If she could prove that it was instinct, they would definitely release Sungrok, won't they? She broke out in a run, trying to search for where the Gogoat were entering from. If some way or another, she could stop the stampede from entering the city, she would be able to track down why the Pokémon were acting in such rage. Wouldn't it?
In the meantime, across the electronics store, there was a bustling bakery. A man sat in a wheelchair, surrounded by small Pokémon. A Swablu sat atop his head, and a Murkrow perched cockily on his left shoulder. On his right shoulder, a Rotom hummed quietly and looked cheekily around as an Inkay floated a basket of croissants onto a shelf with psychic powers. Behind him, an odd purple Feebas watched the commotion from her tank. He hummed as some policemen appeared, telling him that he had way too many Pokémon than the legal limit- they especially stated they needed to confiscate the Feebas. The man tilted his head in confusion when the policemen told him to hand the Pokéballs over, and the Murkrow began to shout loudly in a scratchy Southern drawl when the policemen broke in and began sticking their hands into the tank. Feebas looked terrified as she swan to the deepest and furthest end, trying to avoid the policemen's hands.
'Elp! 's a robbery! These cops are robbin' my owner! 'elp! They're not stoppin' da stampede and they tryin' ta bully my owner ta give 'em his therapy Pokés! Robbery! In broad daylight! 's blasphemous ta allow cops ta abuse their authority!

Risa clung tightly to Shinhye as they headed toward the police station amidst a herd of rampaging Gogoat. Apparently there was a lot more commotion going on all throughout Lumiose at the moment. It seemed that the Rhyperior event had been a mere trigger for Pokemon-related "accidents" that were still happening. And no one seemed safe. The young woman made her way quickly with her friend to a point of safety and gasped and sighed all at once. "Shinhye, we're going to get mauled. We'll never make it to the police station at this rate unless the herd dies down." It was then that Risa looked around and noticed that the small boy that had been beside them not more than a few moments ago had disappeared. "Where's Rodrick?" --- Rodrick was traveling behind Risa and Shinhye to go to free Sungrok but he was suddenly pushed back and fell to the ground, covering his face with his elbows to avoid being stepped on or crushed or worse. The Gogoat herd seemed particularly angry as it stampeded but not malicious and they allowed him a small gap. He stood up but by this time the girls were nowhere in sight. He frowned and tried walking in the same direction as before but wondered if he had seen the tree nearby only moments ago or if he imagined it. Maybe he was headed the wrong direction? Lost and confused, the young boy was beginning to get very scared and worried and the dark wasn't helping either. And though Jax and Willis were loyally beside him, it seemed that they were unable to help guide him or find Shinhye and Risa again either. Suddenly, they all heard loud cries for help about a robbery and ran off, remembering that even though they were determined to help Sungrok get free and find the others, helping others in need would come first. It was probably for the best anyway, Rodrick concluded, since Sungrok risked prison to save the city from a rampaging menace despite the costs and imminent punishment. It was only logical to continue thiis work and investigate this problem with no other safe alternative available at present.

"Shinhye, we're going to get mauled. We'll never make it to the police station at this rate unless the herd dies down."
The girl whirled around, her eyes blazing with rage as she stared almost uncomprehendingly at Risa's words. "So we just let them rampage and hurt others?" she snapped, searching the place for a way to divert the Gogoat's advance. Then, Risa piped up once more, her tone suddenly more urgent- "Where's Rodrick?" Shinhye glanced around and realized that yes, the little boy from before had disappeared but she was mostly unfazed. "He probably just took cover when the Gogoats happened. Both his Pokémon are strong against the Gogoats' typing so I won't worry too much." The girl stood in the path of the stampede, before angrily spreading her arms to use her body in order to send the Gogoats in another direction. It was obvious that they were pounding ahead, tearing up the pavements as they thundered forward before Shinhye took a deep breath. The girl puffed her cheeks out and suddenly ducked, the Gogoats swerving in her direction as they thundered harmlessly through a tight corridor and out of another exit. ----- For some reason, the man in the wheelchair had not managed to be completely robbed. The policemen who had barged into the bakery to steal the man's Feebas now stood frozen and barricaded within the premise as a Metagross and Aegislash blocked the exit and peered into the shop. "C-Car..." whimpered the man, as he was levitated onto the Metagross's head with powerful telekinetics before the Aegislash turned towards the boy and his Pokémon. An accomplice? stated the Aegislash in a wispy but powerful voice, and the boy could almost feel someone studying his mind for a few moments before the presence drew away. The Metagross addressed the boy through telepathy, projecting some images of different regions- several Mankey breaking into residences, a Tauros goring his owner during a Contest Spectacular, some Ferrothorns trampling on patrons as a musical took place and at last, the mob of Gogoat from before. They were a hard pill to swallow, but the Metagross trusted the boy would understand the meaning of those.
You Must Leave. Nowhere Is Safe Here. Find Some Comrades And Head To Geosange Town. Perhaps Those There Could Explain The Sudden Erratic Behavior Of Wild Pokémon. Do Not Worry About The Man You Seek. He Knows Much More Than You Do. Bring The Two Girls Who Were With You Earlier. You Need As Much Help As You Can Get.
With that, the Metagross broke away from the boy and began to trot away calmly in the opposite direction. The Aegislash did not follow, instead rushing into the store. From the flickering lights of the now-abandoned bakery, the Aegislash's figure could clearly be seen wrapping its tassels around the officers within. The tank with the Feebas seemed to disappear with Natu's Teleport, and the lights went out inside the bakery as if it had never existed before.
