191 EPISODE 81: Grand Escape!*

The gust of dust heads directly to their face, suffocating them as a whole. I still can't see where the dragon master and his companion Ethan is. I know they're in the room somewhere but the question is where?

"Luna?! Do you need any assistance?" Virgo shouts from the outskirts of the room.

"No. Stay outside. I- I- I'm fine." I respond back, yelling as loud as possible in order for her to hear my words.

"You sure? By your words, I can say you're having a hard time breathing. I'm coming inside." Virgo shouts back, covering her nose and dashing into the swirling dust storm formed by my actions. Lucky for her she has eyeglasses as a source of protection from the irritating particles.

"There you are!" She grabs my shoulder after catching up with me. On my spot, there is little no dust at all thanks to Gardevoir's Psychic move however the smallest particles which could not be seen by the naked eye is what irritates the most, causing me to cough harshly. From her pocket, Virgo gives me an extra cloth with a beautiful fragrance sprayed upon. This will help ease my cough and lessen the chances of the particles triggering my asthma.

"I told you not to come here."

"And risk your chances of triggering your asthma? I think not. I am here to help. Where is Lance and Ethan?"

"Somewhere here inside the room," I reply while covering my nostrils with the white cloth Virgo gave me.

"Noctowl! Clear the skies with Gust!" I hear the voice of Ethan from a corner, seemingly planning to throw out his Pokemon.

<Noc! Noctowl!> A Pokemon's voice shrieks out of nowhere. I couldn't quite detect its location however because of the surrounding dust particles separating me and Virgo from the rest of them.

With the move called by the trainer, the swirling dust storm finally disperses, revealing the locations of the executive, the dragon master, and the trainer alongside with their Pokemon. Now that the attack has settled, I could further continue on with my plan and that is to return Petrel back to safety.

Rapidly, Petrels runs to the corner of our room, safely guarded and protected by me and Virgo. His Pokemon are all knocked out, thus no longer having the capability to fight.

"Dragonites, Dragon Rage!" Lance commands in full throttle. The move is directly sent towards Virgo. Sadly, she flinches after seeing how immense the power of Lance's Dragonites are. The attack is spewed unto her and I knew something must be done.

Petrel tries to grab my hand in order to avoid what I am about to do however he fails to do so. I push Virgo to the corner, making her stumble and in return, I was the one hit with the attacks. Gardevoir nor Petrel was unable to stop such an immense move.

<Gard! Gardevoir! Gardevoir!> She becomes infuriated because of the actions of the dragon master. Her eyes glimmer with the devil's favorite color, crimson red. Everyone was uncertain on what Gardevoir is trying to pull off. She then shrieks loudly, bursting an array of her powers. Her power traveled like water ripples expanding and surging onward, causing the dragon master and the trainer to blast off into the wall, hitting their backs gravely.

However, Gardevoir is not finished yet. She follows her attack with her Psychic move again, clenching the throat of the dragon master with the air. The trainer tries to save Lance but was clenched on the throat by the air too.

"Return," Virgo commands, sending Gardevoir back to her Pokeball instead of me since I was under an unconscious state after that attack. If my consciousness was lingering around me then I'd agree to let Gardevoir finish the two of them off, after all, this is what I've ever wanted.

Since Gardevoir has returned to its Pokeball, the two trainers drop from the sky, injuring themselves. They become nauseous and weak. A sound of a speaker blares over the distance, and afterward, a voice begins to speak, "This is the Pokemon International Police. To all members of Team Rocket, you are under arrest!"

Virgo and Petrel then hears noises coming from the feet of armored police officers. They march closer, heading to this room. Virgo earnestly shakes me in order to awaken my lost consciousness. She pleads for me to wake up before the police officers arrive.

Good fortune has arrived as I begin to twitch my heavenly eyes as if I woke up from a dream or a surgery. I saw Virgo's filthy face, looking pleased to see me awake. A droplet of her tear even falls to my face.

"Go ahead. Take this card and proceed to the subway which is located on the east of this facility. It will take you to the other portion of this vicinity which is under the Lake of Rage. You have to leave now." Petrel instructs, placing his ID card on Virgo's grasps.

"About you Executive Petrel?"

"Don't worry about me, Virgo. I will cover up for you as the two of you leave. Do not return for me. Now go! The officers are approaching." Petrel commands.

Virgo helps me stand. I cling one of my shoulders around her neck as she helps me walk to the other exit of the room while Petrel remains, giving himself up to the police. My body has not fully recovered from the attack, therefore my breathing is heavy and my legs fill stiff and numb making our walk closer.

"Were almost there," Virgo says, encouraging me to hang tight longer. I feel nauseous again, my mind... wobbly and light-headed. Upon arrival, Virgo places Petrel's card to the scanner. It gives us access, automatically opening the doors of the subway train for us. She places me in a chair, strapping my body tightly with the belt. I then lean my head on the window as the doors shut.

In a matter of seconds after entering, the subway train operates, moving like a bullet. A flaw was in sight for the armored police almost broke through the doors of the vehicle. We were only lucky that the train left immediately. I wouldn't count this as a failure since Petrel was willing to give himself up. Through this, he was able to slow the officers by a bit.
