Ultimate Aries

Nothing again. Patience was *not* one of Rik's strong suits. A huge, multi-storied building that must have cost thousands to build, and they left it completely empty. He couldn't even find anything in the old Glactic database. They had completely cleaned out as they left. Nothing was left.

He was getting increasingly frustrated. Frustration waseasily relieved by conflict, but his target had scampered. His temper was raising, and he had to do something about it.

He heard something behind him. Turning to see what the noise was revealed nothing but a few white-ish blurs descending the stairs very quickly. He snickered to himself as he raced after them. "Finally a battle, I thought I was going to have to look for that girl again."

On the ground floor he finally found them. Two Galactic members from their uniforms. One of them stopped running and turned arnound, grabbing his companion by the collar. "Hey, wait a second! There are two of us and one of him! What're we running for?"

His partner got off the floor and rubbed his head, before taking out a Pokéball. "Good question. We'll just take his Pokémon and be off!"

They both threw their Pokéballs at once, revealing a Dustox and a Heracross. Rik snorted and smirked as he grabbed a single Pokéball from his belt, colored silver with a red ring around the center, and threw it before him. When the light cleared a Weavile stood with its claws sharpened.

"Come on, Zaku. You need a workout!"

The Dark-type Pokémon snarled once and charged at his targets. Of course, the novice grunts were convinced that they were going to win this two-on-one battle. "This guy is an idiot! One Pokémon against both of ours, and it has a huge type disadvantage!"

The other one snorted back "Yeah, but it's rare. Let's take it for a bonus! Heracross, use a Megahorn!"

The large beetle lunged at Zaku, lowering its huge horn straight at Rik's Pokémon. Zaku was faster, however, and blocked the attack with a single claw.

"Heh. You guys have a lot to learn. Zaku, Night Slash!"

The Weavile thrust his claw upwards, knocking the enemy backwards. He then quickly spun and slashed its backside with both talons, sending it flying forwards and onto the ground.

Rik wasted no time. "The next one, Zaku! Faint attack!"

Zaku reacted instantly. His eyes shimmered once, then he disappeared from view. The Dustox looked left and right, but couldn't find a thing. That is, until he suddenly crashed to the ground with a Dark-type on top of him. Zaku turned and looked at the two grunts behind him, glaring and growling like a rabid dog.

Rik was still smirking. "Sing, little birdies. Tell me what you were doing here, and where I can find your hideout, now."

OOC: You understand that I never watched the anime? I think of Pokémon as a terriffic RPG series, not a franchise of overmarketing and cutesy mice. If you want to, find a good reason why there was a wild Glaceon. I'll have no qualms with it as long as you explain what an extremely-rare, evloved Pokémon was doing in the wild.

And us battling is not required. That's just the way that Rik is.
