Odd caught his Pokeballs as they were tossed back at him, resetting them all into their respective clips on his belt as he did, except for the empty Ultra Ball. That one was left shrunken and stuck in his shirt pocket for now. Turning to the three new goons that had appeared, he glared at them, his flames slowly flickering out. "You three have a problem with me leaving?" He asked then, an evil smile beginning to spread across his face. "I've got somewhere to be and it's not here. I wouldn't recommend getting in my way." He told them as he started to walk in their direction, promptly ignoring them if they tried to talk back to him.

Looking between Blizz and the now retreating Keiko, Leslie would simply begin to walk away from the group before very vocally slamming the doors open. "Time to go to town. Lets go." Leslie declared to the group, beginning to march off on her own.

The trio would look between each other, Orson noticably sweating bullet at the implications and Odd's threatening stance. At least, until Richard reached into his pack and pulled out a Dark Gem that he quickly attached to a broken chair leg and swung at Odd. "C'mon man. We wanna be civil. Just stop and we can all go on being happy." The fat Skull grunt shouted at Odd as he swung, Jamie and Orson diving around their ally in an effort to catch Odd before he could escape.

"Um... okay...?" Amaranth was still confused about how Blizzard was being about this, let alone the earlier bit from him. "An explanation would help. I don't know how much of us have really studied the map to the kind of level you've seemed to," she remarked, hurrying outside to follow. Luck would be on the Snagems' side as both of the oddly-garbed thugs were distant, but still visible enough to follow. There was a good chance that Blizzard's hunch might just be right.

It would be safe to say that the duo that had ran out of the room prior wasn't about to suddenly go back in, though they did return to the trio that was talking. "What he said, yo! Don't mind the chair leg, we can talk about this like people, can't we?" One of them remarked, hoping this wasn't some prelude to an impending thrashing.

Odd looked at the trio now blocking the door and sighed. "You just don't get it, do you?" He asked them, turning slowly to face the properly. Ghostly energy bubbled out of his right palm, forming into a very tangible spear. "I don't want to fight you lot but I have more important things to do than entertain you." He told them, picking up his SNAG, which appeared to have been dropped when his Pokeballs were returned as he did so.

"Let me leave and I won't be forced to hurt you. Try to hold me here and I won't hesitate." He warned them, stowing his SNAG without bothering to turn it back on. He eyed the Dark Gem on the stick and shook his head. Maybe he couldn't phase through that but he could get rid of it easily enough.  

[Arkelos]

Arkelos walks outside, than lets all his pokemon out. "Let's go for a walk, 'round the grounds. Clearly the others have enough strength with that over grown frozen turkey." While looking down at his Pokemon, his stomach started to grumbles, "Man I'm starving, where is a place to eat around here anyways?"

At the moment, it would seem that they hadn't noticed anyone following them, going well out of the so-called village that was near the abandoned supermarket. Instead, they kept going, making their way to the town they had mentioned earlier.

As for Arkelos, he wouldn't find anything of note. The place they were in was too dubious to have anything called food anymore, and the area around it didn't have a whole lot else beyond water, vegetation and quite dark sand. The "village" that would've been encountered on the way had hardly anything either. Just a lone Pokemon Center, as a sort of rest stop for any trainers that could make use of the services.

Jamie and Richard would glance between each other before slowly continuing to walk forward, Orson giving a few flaps of his wings to get off the ground as he slowly reached into his pocket. This was going to be a quick and decisive match for the Snagems, for certain. But it seemed that something was distracting Richard away from the somewhat aggressive Channeler, the threatening stick dropping for a moment to allow Odd an opportunity to dash away.

"Quash!" Or not, as it seemed the thing distracting Richard was catching sight of his Pangoro outside as it wandered past. The large bear burst through the window of the house with an aura of dark energy that it sent out in a wave towards the Ghost Channeler, aimed to cut him off from his power for a moment and hopefully draw out whatever Pokemon he was channeling with.

"Or I guess we can't!" Immediately abandoning the idea, the duo started backing up again, wondering if these three had some sort of death wish. If not by Odd, then...

"What's going on down there!? Can't you henchmen do anything right!?" A woman, sounding only a couple years older than most of the others looked to be, could be heard yelling and trying to be heard over the chaos seemingly unfolding at the moment.

Odd was too consumed by his emotions at the moment to recognize one of the trio that had entered after his first attempt at escape had failed. By now, he was so focused on escaping and going after the one who'd put him in this situation that he couldn't think of anything but ways to escape. When the Pangoro rushed in, he had all of two seconds to react. Which he did by releasing his Duskull. "Disable!" He shouted as he was consumed by the panda warrior's dark aura.

Affanoso nodded to Odd's command and already saw who he needed to focus on, willing the panda into an immobile state and attempting to cut it off from it's own power in an attempt to end the Quash prematurely. Should it succeed, Odd would let out a scream of anger before calling back the ghostly spear he'd originally created and hurling it at the three newcomers. It should stick in the ground only a few inches from them unless they were stupid but the damage it dealt, should any of them be dumb enough to get hit by it, wouldn't be physical. They would merely feel a deep void in the pit of their being as a chunk of their spirit was ripped away by the attack. They weren't that stupid though, were they?

If Affanoso's attempt failed, however, Odd would merely seethe quietly, attempting to wait out the attack despite his anger.

Back with the other Snagems, Lykas would be silently following along at this point, trying his hardest to sense Odd's presence but otherwise just hanging around in case he was needed for anything else.

The Duskull would halt the Pangoro from using Quash on the channeler, the ghost corralling the Dark type away from the preventative effort it had been aimed to commit. "Ah! Abort plan A!" The pair of grunts cried out, diving behind the few pieces of furniture in the room away from the impact zone for the spear. "Whats the big panic? He missed." Orson told the pair from his position hovering in the room, looking over at Odd a few more times before sighing. "Myst, use Torment!" Orson called out to the strange piece of debris sitting in the room. Right before a blast of dark energy flew out of the Illusion-disguised Zorua. "Sorry, Odd....looking person. We just want to talk, but you need to calm down before things get really crazy." Orson explained, hoping that things wouldn't escalate any further.

Leslie would keep pace behind Blizz, having gotten slightly mixed up in direction when first exiting the building. At least they were on the right trail now.

Indeed, he nor the one ahead of him would be stopping anytime soon. Unfortunately, in their trying to simply get to where they were going, they'd end up getting the attention of a few wild Pokemon in the area. A pack of Raticate could be seen emerging from the nearby grass in response, but seeing the Snagems instead, they felt sure they were the ones that disturbed them. Unlike any normal one, however, their cheeks seemed to be permanently puffed out and their black fur stood out as a far cry from the usual brown. A few Pelipper could be seen flying out from the same area, but they appeared to be more interested in going elsewhere rather than instigate a fight.

Regardless, with the pack of odd Raticate poised to deal with the "intruders," they looked to be stuck having to deal with a fight against at least one of them within the pack.

"I said, what is going on!?" Unlike last time, the somewhat older woman would come down this time, glaring at what was going on. Seeing what was still unfolding, she wasn't about to have any of this and didn't understand how one guy was giving this much trouble. "Fine, he'll understand. I guess I'll have to show that I'm serious! Salazzle, show our guest what happens when someone picks on my brothers and sisters, even ones as dumb as those three!" At once, she'd let out the surprisingly large lizard and command her to give a Disable of her own, trying to mitigate what Affanoso could do.
