[Log] The Running Finn

Who: Finn, Open!
Where: Goldenrod Rocket Base
When: January 1st
Summary: Finn runs for it. Nobody is surprised.
Rating: PG

It was roughly 10 to 20 minutes before Finn decided he had to run for it. Most of that had been spent trying to work out where he was, letting a pair weird animals out of the balls he found near him, and reading the provided handbook. It was the latter that made him realize that, while he didn't want to be wherever he was in general, he absolutely wanted to be out of this building as soon as he could. He'd already wasted most of his life serving an evil organization that saw him as a tool rather than a person, and he never wanted to do that again.

The odd purple bat-thing, who was more than a little bit of a Rebel, agreed. The metal creature he found in the other ball, who reminded him uncomfortably of Phasma, disagreed. Vehemently.

Seconds later, an extremely Confused Aron had broken down the door and knocked itself out on the opposite wall.

"Okay, which way do we go?" Finn asks as the burst through the door way and start rushing down the halls. The Zubat chirps, a little confused himself. He's been in that Poké Ball since before he got here, he doesn't know his way around.

"You got echolocation, right? Use that."

For a good year or so, unexpectedly loud crashing noises in the base could usually be attributed to one source: Private Wrath, or, as he was known to most of the team, "that weird dumpster kid who isn't allowed to have pencils anymore because he either chews them to bits or tries to stab people with them".

But recently, between the labs being blown to bits by fleeing deserters and the recruitment of people like old man McGucket, there's been many more unaccounted-for crashing sounds going on lately!

Still, as the former king of unaccounted-for crashing sounds, Wrath feels obligated to check out the commotion. Maybe someone's racing Rhyhorns down the hall again! That's always fun.

But before he makes it to the scene of the crime, his arrival is actually preceded by several response chirps as another Zubat flutters around the corner ahead of him. It's almost comically tiny, with ears that are so big compared to its head that they could practically be another set of wings. And it's about to start circling around Finn and his own bat excitedly, squeaking.

NEW FRIENDS!

The circling, squeaking Zubat stops dead in his flaps as the other one's words, plopping right down to the ground in disbelief.

Because w-w-w-WHAT?

What IS it with people and deserting the great and awesome Team lately?!

Wrath, meanwhile, had been all set to greet this stranger as warmly as... a Wrath greeting tends to be, which is 'way too toothy and a little unnerving', but just like his Zubat, hearing just what the newbie has in mind freezes that greeting before it can even make it onto his face.

"--what? You can't tell me to move, I outrank you!"

Because in THIS world, apparently homeless-looking preteen trash fires get promoted in evil organizations. Team Rocket is kind of desperate, okay.

"Have you even been to training yet?!"
garbagechild: grow up (oh my god i only mauled you a LITTLE)

WELL, IT IS... NOT DIFFICULT TO BODY-CHECK A PRETEEN.

Wrath is maybe a hundred pounds soaking wet, so he basically bounces right off the wall, astonished expression saying it all.

He's not hurt, but he yelps like a wounded dog just out of sheer surprise. He's definitely gotten into confrontations with other Grunts before, but this is the first time since he was promoted that anyone had gotten physical. When his words find him again, he shouts. And for someone so small, he's got a powerful set of lungs on him.

"--HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! MAMA!!"

At the rallying cry, thudding footfalls far too heavy to belong to a human come echoing down the hall from the direction Finn just shoved past in.

It would seem that the kid and his bat aren't going to be his only obstacle on the way out...
