"Almost all the materials we had on-hand are already being used to fortify the defenses." Officer Xiong motions down towards the plant's floor, where you can see men and women scurrying like ants, trying to shore up the barricades. "Remember, you're behind some big concrete walls here. Just try as best as possible to keep them from even getting to them."

Turning around, the man makes to leave, but snaps his fingers and turns back to you.

"Right, I almost forgot. A raid on a Pokémart yesterday turned up a large crate of Lure Balls, which Jenny passed onto us down here. They're over there in the corner. Use them sparingly, but don't hesitate to start throwing if things get too hairy. Better that the Pokémon are captured rather than attack us again another day, even if they won't obey us. If you find yourself against one of the 'cruel, use the balls as soon as it looks like it could be caught. Those things have been running away to lick their wounds between fights, and have been a constant thorn in our side. These attacks would be a lot easier to weather if we didn't have to worry about those things again. Best of luck, everyone."

As the man leaves, Kyosuke is quick to resume his usual role of unofficial team leader. "Right then, let's get to it people. Grab some Lure Balls, then get up to the wall on the other side, overlooking the bay. Let's set those of us with the best aim up at the cannons, and get ready as quickly as you can. Like the man said, we don't have long. I know everyone's tired, but it can't be helped. The trainers who'd usually be defending this place day in and day out are in even worse shape. Let's make sure they have a place to come back to when they're healed."

Quick to take his own advice and set an example, Kyosuke grabs a small handful of minimized Lure Balls, puts them in his pocket, and starts moving over to the offices, aiming for the center one with the balcony.
