Ven quirks an eyebrow at his divine darling’s posturing as she mulls over what he said, and can’t help but chuckle at her polite rejection.

“Pokeballs containing ‘off the book’ experiments are among the many things researchers or other individual can Furret away from the League as I have described, and you never know if they isn’t some holding pin or room full of Pokemon secreted away or concealed by lab equipment or hidden doors. It’s also very much possible for Pokemon to be stored on private servers, but hardly anyone does that due to the considerable resources involved in doing so. *Shrugs* That, and Bill’s PC network exists, which is typically more convenient and boasts some of the best security systems and privacy policies and protection in the world, so building a private server for Pokemon storage is often considered overly extravagant and pointless.”

Other than saying that, he’d easily concede to her request to not pester his boss for more intel, and of course take care of anything she or the group finds/picks up that is deemed ‘interesting or sensitive Item and materials.’

It should be noted that the eccentric researcher is also sticking close as he can to Shiva without being completely smothering, as he does not and will not allow anything down in these hazardous labs to get at her without going through him and his family first. That, and more so than ever he’s taking great comfort from her soothing presence, as being here was doing his nerves nor his paranoia any good. Calam’s presence and their no doubt notable unease with everything doesn’t help much either, with the comfortably dressed scientist grimacing ever so slightly when they were released and scooting that much closer to his girlfriend.

Oh.... Shiva gives her erratic love of a Sociologist an elighted and thankful look as he suggests that what she's looking for might just as well be hidden within a Pokeball, which is then Furret'ed away thanks to lab equipment or behind hidden doors. "Y....You're right, Ven-dear, I see now! Will keep an eye and my other senses open for hints of this, yes! (^0^)" She'd hug and kiss him for his insights, but not now. And not in front of the others.

But what she does is welcoming and embracing Ven sticking close to her side, given that she likewise just enjoys his presence. It gives her a warm and affectionate feeling as well as the sense of being protected in a way the Ancient Shield could not.

Magmortar's heat and the cover makes it difficult to reach him with ranged attacks. You'll need to justify any such attacks.
However, if you approach for melee, I request a dramatic scene involving running on the conveyor belts!
This Magmortar's signature move is a Fire-type Rollout move that he sends wheeling along the conveyor belts. It gets stronger each time he blasts one.
And of course there's the Guzzlord mouth to contend with.

Despite this foe is one to really none to underestimate, Raphael and Azu showed little to no fear - if they were backed off by that fierly abomination of a Magmortar, it was too little to properly compete with the raw trust and loyalty they both held for their gentle fae-like Master!~

A delighted and merciless chirp is heard from the waterly fae-rabbit of a magician as she glows from being empowered by the Ancient Sword, conveying that she absolutely en joys this extra-portion of strength in her tiny arms and smol muscles. "Good move, Nathan! Now come, Azu, forward with you, please aim for a potential weakpoint and do not fear being engulfed nor eaten alive by your foe's monstrous maw as I've got you covered on that front!~ (･ω<)☆" Another, second faint glow rushes over Azu's body and the faints away, the Ancient Shield's protection on her synergies wonderfully with the Ancient Sword's offensive boost.

Feeling like the star of the show now, Azu has no qualms to rush forward into action before anyonelse (bar any Ancient Helmet-empowered attack) can, take a leap onto the closest moving conveyor belt, outrun it just like that, quickly close any distance between herself and that morbid Incineragmortar and then slam herself directly into their face while being engulfed not by flames nor pain but by the clearest of water. It's the power of her Aqua Jet move! Before Incineragmortar knows what happened, Azu jumped backwards against a wall and then back onto a conveyor belt to toy with her foe. Being so close AND many times smaller that the intimidatingly-looking opponent, this was quite a daring game for the fae-rabbit to play; but she soon found joy in pretending to trip and be auto-transported into the Guzzlordian maw only to espace in the very last second and smack Incineragmortar's head like it was a big boulder. She did everything she could to keep their attention and offensive attacks focused on her only to shrug them off via the Ancient Shield and protect her co-battlers from being attacked.


The graceful archangel of a Togekiss meanwhile decided to keep himself out of the direct frontline and instead glides over the heads of the battlers and their Masters like a guardian angel, he coos and sings in a low and melodious tone all the time. His voice is one that can melt even the hardest and most closed-off of hearts, regardless where they may hide from him: There's no escape route from Raphael singing himself into the hearts and minds of his foes to defuse their aggression and disarm them of their offensive desires. This Incineragmortar may be as much of an abomination of a modified and experimented-on Pokemon and as much aggressive and protective as it wants, but is it tough enough to not be softened up by the dear and lovely attitude of Raphael?
