Jake watched as Eve attack struck, followed by effortlessly dodging the next lightning strikes with the awareness that Protect gave her.  With each counterstrike, she jumped to the side in time to avoid all damage.  She only stopped when the Magneton started to back off… and especially when she heard Jake yell to her to Stop.  She glanced back at him, and at all the mist sent out by the Dratini.  But never not looking away from the threat to her trainer.<br/><br/>Jake, on his end watched the attacks ongoing, thinking of a way to get the Pokemon to stop attacking.  Especially with how fast it kept attacking.  When Naomi spoke up, he just glared at her for a moment.<span style="color: green">“Yeah, a warning display that could have easily killed you if I hadn’t pulled you to cover.  We are not Audree with electric pokemon to give us some resistance to lightning attacks.  They are distracting it and keeping us safe.”</span>He had argued with her for a moment before seeing the Magneton’s reaction to their attacks.<br/><br/>As soon as the thing started to panic and back off, not throwing another attack, Jake spoke up.<span style="color: green">“Eve, Stop, and back off.  It’s not attacking again.”</span>At the Human’s order, the Eevee did just that, backing away from where her last dodge had ended.  A glare on her eyes.  Matching Jake’s at the Magneton.<br/><br/>Those glares whent to fear, showing what he had been feeling a spark of the whole time as soon as Audree had tried to reach out to the Magneton.  It was magnified instantly when the pool seemed to explode upward toward the Magneton.  He froze immediately watching what came out of the pool.  A Gyarados… one of the most aggressive pokemon he knew of.  He swallowed sharply when it attacked the Magneton and forced it to run in fear… and even more when it roared at them.  It felt like his bones were shaking at the roar.  Eevee’s ears actually laid flat, her tail between her legs as she seemed to try looking as small as possible.  It didn’t help at all for what was coming next.<br/><br/><span style="color: green">“Oh no… COVER!”</span>He yelled as he watched what the Gyarados was about to unleash his attack.  There wasn’t even a slight chance to react as the Hydo Pump Blasted into the ground and into him.  It was too strong and easily blasted him off his feet and into a wall hard.  Jake could swear later that he blacked out a bit as when he came back, he was when he was being pulled along the rock floor in about a foot of water.  The first thing he really focused on though was a panicked keening cry from Eve.<br/><br/><span style="color: green">“Eve!” </span>Jake shouted before he found where she was clinging to the very top of a rock.  Seeing her there, Jake immediately started to rush over, fighting against the current.  But he wasn’t fast enough before the rushing water grabbed her off the rock just as he reached it, and was slammed into it.  The adrenaline and worry allowed him to ignore the sharp pain as his shirt was cut, as well as his skin beneath.  Instead, He pushed off again, jumping into and going with the current to catch up with her.  Each stroke carrying him closer to her, but also bouncing him against rocks, tearing his cloths and leaving more cuts.<br/><br/>It took him too long for his liking to actually catch up with his pokemon… but when he did finally, he grabbed her and pulled her into his chest before holding onto her tightly.  He curled around her and let the current carry them.  He was using his body to protect his pokemon as the current from the Hydro Pump continued to crush him against the walls and rocks.<br/><br/>He didn’t see as the Gyarados get chocked and then thrown out of the cavern.  Jake only opened his eyes again when he felt the current stop and he was laying on the rocky ground.  Though the first thing he did was cough roughly as he expelled all the water from his lungs.  Next he pulled Eve into his lap as she coughed out as well before looking up at him as he spoke.<br/><br/><span style="color: green">“Are you alright Eve?”</span>Jake asked while holding her and petting her soaked fur.<br/><br/>She nodded a little before nuzzling into his stomach that was now covered with little more than tatters of what was left of Jake’s cloths.<br/><br/>Letting out a relieved sigh, Jake pulled out a pokeball from his belt and activated the red light.  Calling eve back into its protection.<span style="color: green">“Then go to sleep my friend until we can get you warmed up.”</span>The flash of the red light and Eve was back in the pokeball, allowing Jake to lay back and relax and take stock of all his pains… way too many.  His pants were torn up the right side, and multiple other cuts, but were still covering what they needed to… his shirt on the other hand was hanging in tatters, letting his runner’s physique show, though he was lightly bleeding from multiple cuts.<br/><br/><span style="color: green">“Is everyone still alive?” </span>He called out weakly.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
