(OOC: Out of curiosity, how expensive would Pokéballs and potions be? It is often theorized that Poké Dollars are comparable to Japanese Yen, which would make 100 Poké Dollars worth more or less 1 USD, which would mean a poké ball would be worth 2$ and a potion 3$, though that sounds very inexpensive - albeit I suppose it makes sense that people are not actually losing thousands of dollars each time they lose a Trainer battle, I suppose. What are your thoughts?)
Abigail
"She? Haruka's a girl?" Abby asked, blinking. "...I apologize. I thought you said she was your husband, so I thought... sorry. I... got pretty much all I need, I think. Let's go", she suggested, eager to ask a couple questions to Michiru possibly best asked away from other people.

(Pretty much.)
She nodded and followed you outside along with Rexlock having had his fill of juice.

(OOC: Okay, thanks. I'll buy a bunch if only so we don't have to roleplay going to the store after every town visisted, lol.)
Abigail
"Well, that does it. I've got all I need", Abby said, beaming. "Where should we go to wait for Mercury to be done, now?" she asked, before gently petting Rexlock in its dog form, wondering if it would feel like actual fur to the touch.

"We can wait back at the Hotel roo-"
*BOOM!!!* An explosion went off nearby.

(OOC: Been a long while since I had a character in that situation whose first reaction was not to rush in the direction of the blast, lol. At least not yet anyway.)
Abigail
"W-Whoa?! What was that?" Abby let out, looking around in confusion. "Sounded like something blew up..." 3 in Intelligence to look around, trying to figure out what just happened.

"I have to go check on something. Wait for me here." She said running off.

"O-Okay... Just, please be careful!" Abby said somewhat nervously, as she looked for a place to sit down to wait for her. "I... wonder what's going on..."

Just then machinegun fire pellets the streets as a figure lands on the ground nearby.
"Oy! Wankers pay heed. Cause the Bad Egg's come into town lookin' for a bit of coin. Ye' better pony up if ya don't want to get roughed up." a large man wearing an eggshell like armor over his head, chest, and groin with an open robe on over that says. Two slots in his shell opened up to reveal machineguns.

"......!"
Fearing for her life, Abby's first reaction was to glance at the supervillain to see if he'd noticed her. Her second reaction depended on what she saw. If he didn't notice her, she tried getting out of sight ASAP, urging Rexlock along. If he did, she slowly recoiled in fear, trembling like a leaf and slowly raising her hands in surrender. 4 in Intelligence to notice if he saw her or not.
If he didn't, 7 in Hunting/Tracking (Stealth) to hide with Rexlock if at all possible. If he did, just getting my hands up and looking terrified. XD

You sneak/run off to another street. where you find the Combee from earlier sucked up in a large vacuum cleaner held my a large woman in a fairy costume with wings.
"We're claiming all the Pokemon in this city! So decrees Tankerbell!" The large woman shouted down.

Abigail
While she stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of the woman, this time, fear wasn't the emotion overtaking her. In part because she feared a vacuum cleaner much less than machineguns, and also, because in her eyes, stealing Pokémon was a despicable crime, far worse than stealing money. Pokémon were sentient beings, creatures with feelings, free will, emotions and friends. She couldn't stand trainers who treated their pokémon like mere tools, and she positively despised people who would steal Pokémon for profit or similar bullsh*t without consideration for the fact that those Pokémon likely had people who loved them, and whom they loved back.
"...What did you just say?" the brunette said angrily, glaring at the woman, unwittingly growing her wolf tail and ears as the Beast within growled deep down inside. "Who the hell do you think you are?! You're not claiming anything! Pokémon are sentient creatures, they have friends, people who love them, just like you or me! They're not some sort of material or some items for you to take", she let out. Unwittingly turning Girl-Wolf state due to anger.
5 in Social Skills (Pokémon Trainer, The Wolf Within) to at least try to talk her out of this.

The woman just smirks and puts the vacuum behind her back as she lands and makes huge cracks in the pavement. "Got a problem doggy girl... Bring it." She teased.

Abigail (Girl-Wolf)
"......"
Abby gritted her teeth, considering her chances for a moment. As much as the wolf within her wanted to throw itself at the woman and tear her a new one, the human side of her was not nearly as confident. She was not a fighter, never had been, she didn't know how strong werewolves were, especially one as weak in human form as she was, and that machine of the criminal taunting her seemed very strong and tough. She hated to admit it, but as far as she knew, she was way out of her league. Or not. Either way, she had no way to know for sure, and it made her hesitate.
Still, even for one such as herself, she could still do something else.
"...Hmph. Yeah, well, maybe I'm not the best person to deal with that problem. But I can still do this", she said, switching on her smartphone, and dialing 911. 4 in Close Combat into defense. (Total ph.defense: 4)
Calling 911. Given the abundance of superhumans in EAS, I take it they will have access to a better response protocol to this than some random newbie werewolf civilian. XD

"Real brave there... Betcha they won't get here in time to stop me from pounding your face in!" Shje declares charging.
"URANUS WORLD SHAKING!!!" A massive blast of wind hurls Tankerbell back through a wall as a blonde woman in a sailor fuku and short boots says arriving in front of you. "You okay Miss?"

Abigail (Girl-Wolf)
Abby recoiled in fear of the incoming attack, only for the woman to be stopped before the impact by... some sort of heroine in a cute costume not unlike the one she had seen Mercury wear. In fact, it was surprisingly similar.
"A-Ahh! I, I'm okay, yes! Thank you..." she let out, snapping out of her initial surprise.
