With Kai climbing down the empty bookshelf, Mia was waiting for him by the knocked out houndoom lightly running a hand along the back of the center head's neck. It was still subdued by it's self paralysis, but the blonde would rather it realize they didn't mean to hurt it incase it managed to get back on it's feet...this thing wasn't just a freak of nature but it was HUGE for a houndoom. How the hell did it even exist...?
"Well I found cerberus, so I think we're officially in the underworld." Falling back from her crouching position to sit on her backside, she flashed the interpol commander a rather confused look, just...perplexed by the two pokemon she'd personally battled so far and wondering if the guy had seen anything like this before...it seemed like a dumb question to even ask though. Who the heck would have seen things like this before?
"No fighting types so far but...well suffice to say they're clearly doing some fucked up genetic shit. Who the hell would even consider doing this crap?"
Pushing up to her feet against the wall, she let out a slow breath and stretched her arms over her chest, walking a little deeper into the dark basement, finally getting some room to breath and pull a small torch out of a pocket on her over-skirt. It wasn't anything impressive but it was enough to tell them where to go.

Kai recalled all his Pokemon before climbing down, deciding it would be easier for everyone to get down just riding in his pockets. It wasn't until he was down and turned around that he saw Mia's new friend, staring blankly for several seconds before her cheeky comment. A single breath of disbelieving and uncomfortable laughter escaped him, but despite himself there was the barest inkling of genuine amusement that such a creature would, indeed, be guarding the entrance to the underground areas...
That was probably intentional on the creator's part... he realized, grimacing a bit more. ...If they've gotta do this sort of fucked up shit, I guess following a theme is... half a percent better, heh...
He shook his head. "Lord only knows."
He produced his own light source from his belt-- a rather larger and brighter flashlight-- and flipped it on. Some part of him wanted to make a comment about coming better prepared when they knew they were going to be breaking into a potentially dark and abandoned building to look around, but it felt a bit needlessly critical just now. At least she did have one, which showed some forethought, and he could respect that. He scanned around the perimeters of the room with his own light before deciding a route that looked... relatively promising at least. A glimpse of some sort of computers or control panels or something could be seen from here through the doorway, so he started that way.
"Hopefully there's still something of use in some of this..." he said more to himself than to his young companion.

"Here's hopin...kind of a pointless trip if they already killed themselves working here and left nothing behind."
Wow that...wow that came out of her mouth. She gave a rather nervous chuckle before adding. "Of course we can get all these experiments to the league...make sure they're well looked after..." Plus she hadn't known they'd already blown themselves up, so they would have stopped it if they'd gotten here sooner but somehow she felt trying to get into those specifics would probably worsen her case. She turned her head away, the torch flicking across the room as she tried to find something that she could take back to the league. All the computers in the room were trashed and while there were a few snarls and sharp, shimmering eyes inside cages, Mia was fairly certain she the hardrives were fried, and most of the pokemon looked like they hadn't been experimented on...thank heavens on that second part.
"..hey what's this..." Her eye catching dark scratch marks on the floor, she followed the curved marks to the wall...she was sure this seemed familiar...yeah! This was like when a secret door scraped across the floor...which meeeeant... "Think there's something behind here..."
She briefly looked for for a place to put her flashlight before just pushing it down the front of her jacket against her chest, the spread of the light giving her enough of a view of the wall she was checking, patting it down for a few moments before getting a little frustrated, backing off from the wall and letting out a breath through her nose.
"Yeeeah doubt they're gonna leave a switch for this thing anywhere obvious..."
Throwing her arm out to the side, Mia's bracelet transformed into her gauntlet once again. She judged the distance from the wall and took a step back, lightly winding her shoulder to loosen up, tensing her muscles, and with a step back forward, she slammed her fist solidly into the fake section of the wall. Her fist burned the moment she hit the wall. Whatever it was wasn't pure stone but fuck was it still strong, and she spotted she narrowly missed punching into a metal bar supporting it from the other side, but the hole she managed to leave was fairly sizeable, a smirk across her lips as she managed to look through, clearing some of the now loose debri from the whole she'd made before lifting her foot and kicking out the edges of it, trying to make a gap big enough for either of them to get through.
"Oi oi!~ Look what I found!~"

Kai frowned heavily as he saw the Pokemon still caged up down here. Who knew what kind of condition they were in or what they'd endured to still be in the building after whatever went on upstairs. Releasing his Snivy again, he ordered, "Vine, see what you can do about picking some of these locks." His own focus would turn back to coninuing to investigate until Mia called his attention. Hm? Something behi--
"THE HELL!?" He flinched as she punched straight through the wall. Arceus woman. Color him impressed and mildly terrified but was that really necessary?? "Ju-- please step back and conserve your strength." He released his Timburr again. "Bob can Superpower through this a lot easier." Bob looked up to him, then to the wall, then nodded eagerly. "Wanna step aside and let him?"
Bob was practically unable to stand still, so raring to go. Meanwhile, Vine was making some progress figuring out the locking mechanism, even as the Axew in the cage he worked on cowered in the back corner.

shaking off her hand as she stepped back from the wall, she was...faintly annoyed by the mild dismissal her effort just got. Sure a pokemon may have been a better choice but maybe she wanted to punch the wall, ever think of that Kai? No, no ya didn't.With the timburr super-powering the wall down, Mia's eyes shifted around the room, a lot of the locks on the cages were probably pretty strong, and while she wanted to help, she could assume they were practically pokemon proof, and without any pokemon versed in lock picking...well she didn't feel too useful to say the least, lightly massaging the sides of her good punchin' hand while the timburr got to work with the wall.
With the wall cleared in a few seconds (most likely), Mia sent out a new pokemon with a light pump of her arm now that her hand was feeling better, the red flash bringing out a red pokemon fittingly enough, the incineroar standing tall and letting out a prideful roar as he puffed out his chest, his fiery belt lighting the way for them as he stepped into the dark hidden room, Mia still finding it hard to believe this place didn't have any-
"Oh...lights are all smashed..."
Pulling her flashlight out of her shirt she flicked it to the ceiling, noticing all the destruction had crossed the ceiling, blowing out most of the lights. That was hardly the most alarming news of course...the smashed vats of ooze she could only relate to some weird science movie, especially with the still vaguely active computers. Computers! Just what the league needed. she began patting down her skirt till she found the pocket, yanking out a small usb drive that held in it a few high power Porygon for the information retrieval. "Thank yooou evil scientists and your stupid secret rooms!"
Eager to get in and get out, Mia's stride was brought to a sudden halt as Fury (the Incineroar) held out an arm to prevent her advance, growling softly as he sensed something not quite right...Sharp eyes darted to the ceiling and they both quickly realized he was right to stop her, the room shaking as the Metagross clinging to the ceiling landed hard infront of them, it's legs shifting unnaturally, turning 180 degress to lock into the floor, before his central body seemed to somehow do the same but weirder. Collecting itself, the metal monstrosity let out a broken screech, like the voice of 3 different pokemon rolled into one. Its broken visage distracting the two just long enough for them to not notice it's big ass tail swinging around, Fury barely managing to catch it in his arms, though it was clear he couldn't manage every last drop of force, forced to move even as he dug his heels in.
"Riiiight...I'm counting Metagross, steelix, bit of a minior maybe? Am I missing anything?" "NE-ROAR!" "Right, right, priorities...you ready?"
With a loud growl to answer "I do not have fucking time for this" Mia backed off to give him some space, adjusting her gauntlets to activate the incinium Z on the back. A stream of energy connected the gym leader and her pokemon. Releasing the tail Fury dipped his head under the odd appendage, his arms taking on a thick, black-centered flame,roaring in the face of the other pokemon. As the arms of the Metagross slammed down upon it he deflected it with swipes of his own, Z-power burning in his muscles. A pedastal of fire burst out of the ground behind him, leaping backwards and up into the air from his freshly generated platform, arms out stretched as he landed hard upon the Metagross.
Suffice to say everyone should be thankful a lot of the fire and lights were for show, or half the room might have been missing.
Pushing himself off the head of the metagross, Fury let out a groggy roar, coming down off the high of the Z move, Mia fixing her hair a little from the gust of energy. A part of her was still a little high off the move herself...but looking down at the experimented Metagross, it was kinda hard to feel good about taking it down...
"Well that's another one for the league...you good Kai?"

Ah, nice on the Incineroar. It actually sort of pleased him the Fighting specialist would have the wrestler Pokemon even if it wasn't exactly her type technically, heh. As he saw Mia inserting the flash drive, he decided to leave information retrieval to her.
About the time the Metagross(?) showed up, Kai's attention was called back from it by a sudden loud crash and a piece of metal whizzing by his face. The assailant's Sky Uppercut barely caught a nearby machine instead of Kai, and he stumbled and fell backward to avoid it, rolling as he hit the floor but still taking a second to get his bearings. "Fuck." As he fumbled for a PokeBall, Bob charged in with a somewhat weakened Superpower, taking the Kommo-o's attention from Kai by earning its ire.
Its Noble Roar was nearly enough to send Bob flying back even without dealing direct damage.
Then everyone's attention was drawn by the flashy display of the Incineroar. ...Oh, fuck yes. It had been too long since he saw a proper Z-Move on that level. Despite the gravity of the situation, some part of Kai couldn't help but smile. His focus went back to the battle just a moment or two before Kommo-o's though, and he released his Sylveon. She looked warily at those toxic spines, but sure hoped this thing wasn't actually a Poison-type. It looked like a regular Kommo-o otherwise. "Navi, Hyper Voice."
She screamed, and the fairy energy that infused the soundwaves overwhelmed the dragon, causing it to crash to the floor.
"You good Kai?"
He breathed out slowly. "Good girl, Nav..." As he got to his feet, he answered, "Yeah, think so. You got the info? I'd like to try to get those Pokemon out of the next room and get the hell out of here until we can get a whole team to come do a proper sweep."
As if on queue, Vine was just managing to get the first cage open in the next room, offering a leafy hand to help the sickly Axew.

Mia rested her hands on her knees, the earlier punch against the fake wall and now the Z-move feeling like they'd each winded her a little in unison, but really she seemed pretty fine for the most part, throwing her shoulders back sharply as she made herself stand back up, she looked to the oversized metagross in brief thought before sending out the rest of her pokemon, glancing back to Kai before she gave them orders.
"Yeah I'll grab it now just er..." Eyes drifting back to her pokemon she brought their attention to the two experimented monstrosities now laying on the floor. "Not pretty I know but...they're probably just as freaked out as you are here in their own way. Chezzers, mind guiding everyone in the art of the paci-fist and carrying these two out without hurting 'em? There's a cerbe-Houndoom. There's a houndoom in the next room...or three...you'll understand when you see it."
The grass fighter rolled his eyes at the light joke but gave a nod to the order, helping the team lift the metagross while also guiding them out without banging it against any walls. The path cleared and Incineroar still by her side, Mia pushed to the still working computers and jammed the usb in, a porygon appearing on screen and starting to root through the files and collect usable data. "Shouldn't be long now....Hey..."
Her last word felt oddly...sharp. Demanding of attention but moreso like a kid who had a question than anything else. Despite it feeling pretty cool being here, fighting 'monsters' and potentially taking down bad guys, fighting just the pokemon and...seeing them, had left the blonde just faintly shaken.
"This...isn't normal right? Like I deal with fake Z-charm dealers at best in my city...maybe a drug dealer or two on occassion but..." She gave a weirdly confused yet casual shrug, not knowing in the slightest how to put this experience into words.

While Mia spoke to her Pokemon and then reflected on the situation, Kai made a brief trip back to the broken wall between rooms and checked on Vine's progress, seeing him pop a second cage open and ease a very sickly looking Rattata out. Poor thing. He then made a quick round of the room, seeing if he could find any loose files or cabinets that hadn't been empty or the like.
Her final question had him delaying, looking through a bit more in silence before he finally sighed. "I've been in the military for about a decade and a half, and worked Interpol in the years since then. It honestly pisses me off that this isn't the most fucked up shit I've seen," he growled. These Pokemon had seemed... at least mostly functional and independently capable, for starters, among other advantages over... some other situations... "That said, it may well be the weirdest..." he admitted with another sigh.

The mili-no. Wait. Other regions have had wars in the past. Just because Veria hadn't been a part of them didn't mean she should forget what the other regions went though. Heck she had a boyfriend who escaped from a civil war, if anything she had more reason to remember stuff like that could happen now. Still, the fact he'd seen worse...didn't exactly calm her nerves. Mia had no idea what had really gone on here, but suffice to say it wasn't what she was used to. In Liggs she was the big fish keeping the scum in check, but with things like that metagross or that houndoom...she felt like she was staring into the maw of a shark all of a sudden.
"Well...good to know there are more scum like this in the world...I guess..." With a slow breath through her nose, she tipped her head back to the computer, yanking the usb out of it and heading for the destroyed wall. She doubted she was gonna get much reception down here to call this one into the League.
"Her erm...thanks for the extra hand. Dunno if the league and interpol are gonna keep us working together on this but...you ain't half bad." She gave a light chuckle as she tried to ease her own nerves, adding. "If you ever need someone to show that Timburr the ropes I'm easy enough to find. Maybe my Conkledurr can knock a few evos into him!~"

Heh... Kai didn't even know whether to agree with that. Of course it was terrible there were atrocities out there, and yet... the concept of relative perception couldn't help but appreciate knowing one wasn't up against the literal worst the world had to offer. It didn't change how bad the current situation was even remotely, yet the knowledge that 'it could be worse' somehow made it 'feel' 'better'. The human brain was fucking something, wasn't it.
"Thanks. You might be a bit over the top, but seem pretty reliable in a pinch yourself." The offer to help Bob out did seem particularly nice, and the Timburr looked up to her in vague excitement, too. "..Speaking of. You sure you got everything we can get off these computers? And all your Porygon are back safely?"
If she checked and confirmed this, he'd order Bob to start smashing the machines, lest anyone else come retrieve this information.

Mia paused at the broken wall, snickering a little as Kai described her, rolling her eyes and resting a hand on her hip. "Oh please, over the top is practically my motto at this point. You should visit Liggs and find out sometime. That rugged look? You'd fit right in." Yeah, distracting herself was a bit better than focusing on the dark crap going on around her, still, they did have a job to do and at the mention of the porygon, she really wasn't sure. The League didn't usually put her on jobs like this so it was the first she'd ever used one. She checked the USB, it looked fine and the porygon hadn't made any distressed noises so...
"Yeah I er...think we're good." She'd wonder briefly why she was even asked before Bob began to smash up the machines, jolting at a few initial sparks from the machinery before chuckling at her own little oversight. "Right, right. Shoulda thought of that...best we don't let any of this get into some other idiots hands right?"

"Damn straight," Kai answered. In fact, he released Charger again to help for good measure. "I'm sure--" Oh, he needed to talk a lot louder with that level of destruction going on, huh? Stepping into the other room to let them work and not quite yelling, he started again. "I'm sure someone's got backups somewhere, and if the creators are still alive they can probably replicate it, but no sense risking some other assholes getting their hands on this kind of info." The last thing they needed was some thirty-foot Terrakion Palkia centaur terrorizing a major city.
A group of about four or five small Pokemon now huddled in a corner while Vine worked on the next cage, and Kai moved a bit closer. "Think I can help?" he asked the Snivy, who looked back and nodded before showing him how the mechanisms worked. A swiss army knife with a suitable lockpick was produced and he began trying to help with one.
Shortly after, the commotion died down and they were rejoined by Kai's Tauros and-- "Gurdurr."
"Hm?" He turned around to see Charger and Bob. "Oh damn I missed it, nice work." After a moment, in spite of everything, he flashed Mia a light smile. "Guess your offer really inspired him, eh?"

Mia would have joined in to help but her own pokemon were still lifting the larger creations out...at least she assumed so, she picked Chezzers to help guide them for a reason, but knowing him it'd take 5 minutes to pick out a soft patch of grass to lay each one in individually, and then it'd take another ten to get the next one out.
"Yeah well here's hoping they fried with this place and their backups drown in some freak sprinkler accident." She knew that was a bit harsh to say about other human beings but...well if they made this place she could hardly consider them human now. Stepping back and away from the secret room and into the other, she noticed a fair few of the cages were still causing a problem. Now she wasn't specifically trained in lockpicks but...well when you hang out with people who go to fight clubs you learn a few dirty tricks.
"Ya know...it's surprisingly how often you can brute force these things if you just...get the right angle..." She jostled a padlock on one of the cages, taking a few seconds to just feel out how it reacted, twisting the hung of metal just right as she gave it a hard yank, managing to pull it just right to knock out the chunk of metal keeping the top in place. It didn't actually look like much strength wise, and it wasn't. Heck it likely wouldn't even work on half the locks on the cages, but it'd help a fair few of them get out quicker.
"Huh?" Peeking her head up over a cage she let out a soft whistle, jolting as the pokemon in the cage she was working on seemed to have a bad reaction to it. "Oh er...ah shit sorry little guy...good work though Bob!" She spoke in a hushed shout, making sure she was heard without scaring anymore of the pokemon in the cages, easing the next one out and spotting Chezzers come back in from the floor level.
"Oi, Chezzers, I know there's still a Kommo-o in there but these little guys need someone to keep them...well...sane, till the league pick 'em up..." She dipped her head towards the small group of sickly and nervous pokemon, Chezzers giving a sympathetic look and nodding softly, getting down low so he didn't seem scary to any of them from sheer size, easing his way slowly towards them, laying on his chest and holding out his arms for any of them to make there way in for some warmth, protection and comfort.
"I will...never understand how he is one of my pokemon...you got any like that?" She only half knew what she meant by that, but some idle chatter seemed fine while they were still working on these locks.

Oh yeah? "Nice." He was quick enough with a lockpick and, awkward as it felt to admit, probably not as strong as Mia, so he'd stick to his way, but it was good she could help.
Kai didn't know what she meant by 'like that' either, but would assume from 'never understand how he's mine' that she meant... ill-"suited" Pokemon? Ones with very different personalities from their trainers? "My Farfetch'd is a fussy old bat," he remarked with an affectionate smirk. "Course she's probably about your age, so she's getting along in Farfetch'd years. No Pokemon more reliable, though."
Who else might be amusing? Hrm. "My kids' mom insisted I take her Furfrou and her Blissey when I moved out here, but the prior especially is still very much hers and can be... difficult." He chuckled weakly. Between the lot of them, about half the cages had been opened, and Bob was helping herd the few who were more skittish or aggressive than the others.
"Then there's this Beheeyem. Won't battle if he can help it but he's a hell of an accountant. Though to be fair I more hired him on for the office than took him in as a trainer."
