<strong>Name:</strong>Madison Sage<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Douglasberg Stadium, Rightmost Ring<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Everyone<br/><strong>Current Pokemon:</strong>Pawniard, Clokcruel, Sneasel, Pokémon Egg<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Madison had to cover his ears or his eyes and thus his eyes were covered from the rapid Blinding Flashes that threatened to dull his senses. He actually staggered and dropped to a knee unable to think clearly as this was the equivalent of a Pokémon flash bang. His ears rang painfully and Clokcruel was making a harsh angry cry of agony. However upon hearing the words "Cover up" Clokcruel reacted faster and smothered Madison with it's body to protect him from the stun spore. He smelled faintly of smoldering ashes upon a wood pile but the large badger Pokémon managed to save his trainer from the spores because of that. After all Madison was covered in clothes save for by hands and head and Clokcruel was more then capable of shielding the Gym Leader since they were currently in the same place. Hence no skin was there to be tagged. Madison however was effectively pinned down as he could feel the shuddering of Clokcruel trying to endure the stun spore and losing out. Amazing how a pokemon that can move freely in sandstorms would still succumb to this heavy stun spore attack. This effectively trapped Madison because now he had to remain motionless. However he could hear everything and more so then that he could move though he didn't show it yet. He had to be patient and wait for the opening. Plus he couldn't do much with his strongest monster paralyzed like this.<br/><br/>As the light dimmed once more and his ears stopped making his head spin Madison began to have a much clear head now. The woman talked and the men came down to try and capture not Pokémon but Gym Leaders. This was unspeakably bad for any other trainer that was kept like this. Reaching into his pocket with one hand and to his belt with another Madison was silently prepping for a surprise attack. Pressing the Paralyze Heal spray into Clokcruel he removed the ailment that was crippling what was one of his strongest if not<em>the</em>physically strongest of his team. Taking up the Pokéball in his hand his eyes were affixed to the sight of them picking up Misty and Brock. A chance however slim he had to buy some time or at the very least make them pay a hard price.<br/><br/>The element of surprise would only last for the first command. And against twelve trainers and dozens of bug types this was not going to be easy. He was down to two fresh Pokémon and Pawniard was in no condition to fight. Each of this team was carrying two Pokéballs meaning that they clearly had numbers to them. Best way to do this was to divide and conquer, quickly taking out as many targets as possible. Those bug Pokémon had to be hit and hit hard… Fortunately he had the means for that and a Pokémon like Clokcruel might be able to take out the trainers before some can get their Pokéballs out. Most might consider it a Pokémon battle but he doubted they'd play fair like that. Especially with what the intend and what they'd do and as such, he gave not a care what became of them.<br/><br/>As the sinister team went to work a Pokéball rolls out along the ground and then after a moment pops open revealing a Sneasel fresh and eager for battle. That's when Madison reveals that he was playing possum.<strong>"Sneasel! Use agility and combine it with Ice Punch on the Bug Types! Clokcruel use quick attack on the thieves!"</strong>Sneasel, was fast and with Agility he became like a blur. Using that momentum to literally launch itself high at a Beedrill, it sent an icy cold claw right for it to attempt a super-effective hit.<strong>"Do not let any of those Bug Types get near to throw another Stun Spore."</strong>Meanwhile Clokcruel was more then willing to attack those kidnappers for daring to hurt his own trainer. With the brisk attack that fell akin to a bear swiping a paw, it should hopefully be good to topple at least one trainer. But either way Madison was hoping to do serious damage from the get go. Anything to buy more time. Should a trainer actually drop in pain Madison repays theft with theft and removes the Pokéballs from it. He wasn't sure if these Pokémon would obey him or not but just in case the best did try to attack him again, he needed a third defense.
