X kicked out when Ruby went to grab him, getting a direct hit in the crown jewel. The lady with him, Kari or something like that, pulled him to the safety of the other side of the cage before locking him in again. He didn't mind that. It was keeping him from whatever she was doing to them. Gold had already been taken out, so there'd soon be two people to kick.

~~~

He had nothing against Gold once he was grabbed. He was bigger and stronger, so containing the Kalos Dexter was not hard.

"LET ME GO!" Was the most he could pull off while fighting the strong arms that held him. The lady giggled as she pressed a few things on a screen and opened a container of sorts. "I WILL NOT WORK WITH YOU! NO!"

"Oh dear... Ruby? Could you help Gold out?" Shit. He was already out numbered. And since Gold had a solid hold on him, he couldn't do too much damage while the two boys used force. All he could remember was something covering his mouth before everything went dark.

"Excellent."

Kari, the mastermind of this situation, grinned at the two boys. She was sure she'd need more than two people to get X in the tank. Thankfully she didn't.

"I was sure I would need more than two of you to get him in there. You two did great." They nodded as the machine beeped, marking the system successfully starting. "Now then... while we wait for our new recruit, why don't we do a little bit of damage?"

"Crystal!"

Silver got to her side as she gasped a little. Just a scan of her pokemon raised red flags. Her Meganium was burnt and the others were clawed up. As for her, she was soaked. Gently, he picked her up as he grabbed her breath. He returned her pokemon before rushing for a center.

~~~

Red was quiet as Crystal rested. After Silver alerted them about her attack, the others were worried. But Yellow, who was checking Meganium, was stunned. She came out of the room, letting the pokemon rest with their trainer, with slow steps. Blue noticed before going over.

"Yellow? What's wrong?" The others glanced over as she gulped.

"I know who attacked her. I just don't know why."
