III.III MOSSDEEP DOWNTOWN


[attr="class","aname2"]
MOSSDEEP MAYHEM: HARDCORE



[attr="class","ipad"]
DESCRIPTION
[break][break]
last night, an unknown wormhole materialized above mossdeep city. videos of the event have circulated online and all of hoenn is abuzz about the strange phenomenon. trainers from all over have come to marvel at the enigmatic spectacle. [break][break]

recent reports have details that numerous wormholes have appeared over the island. strange, never before seen pokemon have emerged from these wormholes. one of the wormholes above downtown mossdeep erupts as a tremendous monster plummets from the sky. it lands with an earth shattering boom, caving into the building below it. the roof shatters and the floors prove no stronger. [break][break]

once the dust settles, everyone in the vicinity will see the pokemon unfazed, eagerly scooping up pieces of rubble in its odd appendages. the pokemon itself is almost as tall as the building, standing around 30 feet tall. what's more fearsome is the pokemon's sheer girth, rivaling the size of a wailord. [break][break]

[break]

one by one, the pokemon throws the contents of whatever it can scoop up into the large maw that encompasses the creature's body. there seems to be no end to what the pokemon can STOCKPILE. [break][break]

a shrill scream can be heard from the broken down building. one sounds feminine, the other boyish. both sound like they're children.[break][break]

"let my sister go! let her go you big bully! let her—" the cries go unanswered. "—aaaahhhh!" [break][break]

the only thing audible is the sound of the boy's voice being interrupted by being scooped up as well. the sound of wailing is heard but that too comes to an abrupt stop, replaced by a resounding CRUNCH.[break][break]

nom. nom. nom.[break][break]

the pokemon gives off a mild glow as it ingests something other then stone and drywall. a faint red aura outlines the pokemon, radiating an energy that's alien to this world. it only lasts for a few moments before it dissipates, the pokemon seemingly grows slightly larger.[break][break]

the legendary pokemon that inhabits Lucas Lane will direct him towards it, fascinated by the foreignness it cannot understand.[break][break]

[break][break]


OBJECTIVES[break][break]
LEAGUE: dispatch the threat; save civilians![break]

It was another hole.[break][break]

Bailey Cooper disengaged from her motorcycle as the chaos began to unfold—her eyes staring up at the sky, watching as the wormhole swirled in the sky, and knew what was to come. She remembered the creature she had battled in the basement of the Space Center. She knew that the portal lead to places where strange creatures dwelt.[break][break]

She got out her cellphone and began to dial, demanding backup as she ran through the streets of Mossdeep. People were screaming and running for their lives. Others were standing on the rooftops, taking photos and recording this strange phenomenon from a distance that they presumed to be safe. [break][break]

“Send units! Something fucked is going on! There's space pokemon falling from the sky! Get your asses out here—” and that was when she heard laughing on the other line. “I'm being fucking serious! Weird beast things! You need to get backup—” and Bailey almost tripped as she stumbled across broken concrete, wondering why a long groove was now in the middle of the street.[break][break]

Her eyes followed, not listening to the people at the other end of the call as their laughter seemed to change—maybe the news had reached them?[break][break]

But that no longer mattered. There was a loud clatter as her phone slipped from her hand, hitting the concrete and cracking the screen. Her eyes were focused on something else. Something massive. Something that was alive.[break][break]

What the hell was that?[break][break]

She could not avert her eyes from the black, gargantuan mass as it devoured everything in its path. “JUST RUN—!” but the Sergeant was too far back, too far away to intervene as she gazed at the back of this monster as the screams of the children were silenced.[break][break]

Cold, hard, panic.[break][break]

These beasts were stronger than pokemon, but they were not invincible. If Bailey Cooper had seen a legendary die in the depths of the Ruins, then this creature would have to abide by that same rule of nature. It was what kept her moving, it was what made her reach for the pokeball capsule at her waist.[break][break]

Someone had to lead that thing out of the city. “Everyone get back!”[break][break]

Sylveon joined her side. “Moonblast!” The radiant light was concentrated, piercing through the air as it were a hyper beam, aiming for the square of the back of the massive beast.[break][break]

sylveon used moonblast![break]
kRyyxM|S
[break][break]

This creature was different from the other one. When Bailey Cooper thought back to the angelic jellyfish, it lacked the presence that this monster exerted. It could not be combatted—not like this.[break][break]

So she grabbed her Sylveon and ran after the move connected, hoping that the pain would be enough to encourage the beast to head in another direction. “RUN. EVERYONE RUN!”[break][break]

It smelled like something was burning. It reminded her of Slateport.[break][break]

tldr: called for help. sylveon used moonblast. ran for life.

[break][break]
they'll laugh at for now but soon they'll learn; they'll all learn that these creatures are no laughing matter. the fact that she's reached out for reinforcements from the mainland is all the early warning they need. the supplementary livestreams from mossdeep's other residence only compound on this factor. help will find its way to the island—but can she hold up until the three houses arrive?[break][break]

the concentrated MOONBLAST from her sylveon lands straight center on the pokemon's broad back. it seems to be enough to garner the pokemon's attention since it turns around, flailing both appendages wildly as it tries to narrow in at the source. it does, the hollow blue aperture facing her direction.[break][break]

cold. hard. panic.[break][break]

the MOONBLAST had all the makings of a HYPER BEAM but riddled with the energy found in fairy based attacks. so what do you call this?[break][break]

[break]

brief. momentary. just a glimmer of a yellow light flashes from within the pokemon's throat. blink and you'll miss the instant obliteration that comes from the pokemon's HYPER BEAM. but this one expands past anything you've laid eyes on. it puts the regirock's HYPER BEAM to shame. the diameter of the blast is several meters wide, barely missing bailey as she scampers away the moment her attack lands. [break][break]

but the attack doesn't stop. the beam bears into anything that's in its path, cutting through stone, concrete, steel, and any unfortunate flesh that's caught in the crossfire. and then the pokemon starts to shift and the beam follows, cutting through in a horizontal line. [break][break]

the first instance may have missed but the following beam chases after her with an alarming speed as the pokemon rotates. [break][break]


[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • calls for reinforcements and gets laughed at. her sylveon uses MOONBLAST on the guzzlord's back. she runs away as soon as she sees the attack land.
  • the guzzlord turns around and uses HYPER BEAM! the HYPE BEAM obliterates everything in its path, shooting off into the town. the beam continues to fire, turning as the pokemon redirects it toward

The light was blinding.[break][break]

Even if Bailey Cooper managed to avoid death by a sliver of a breath, she can feel the heat that radiated from the beam. She can hear the sound that followed—louder than anything she had ever heard, droning on and on with a deafening shrill that she would never forget, just as buildings were split asunder.[break][break]

Bailey Cooper can hear their collapse. She can hear the wailing. For one moment, she thought back to the hyper beam in the cave with the Regirock—how the eyes of the Legendary had glowed like spotlights as it directed its attack across those rolling, rocky hills that she had hid behind.[break][break]

This was even worse.[break][break]

She ran—in a desperate attempt to redirect this force of nature, she put all of her strength into her legs and fucking moved. Death had nearly taken her. It would not get the same opportunity.[break][break]

The heat of the beam served as a reminder. Her eyes could not look directly into the light, but she could hear the drag as it changed direction—could feel the ground tremble as the beast gave pursuit. “COME ON, YOU FAT FUCK!” She roared, letting her words reverberate as she withdrew her fairy pokemon back to the safety of her capsule.[break][break]

If Bailey Cooper was eviscerated, would it be fast enough for her pokemon to not even feel it?[break][break]

[break][break]

Her feet failed her—at the curb, the Sergeant tripped and fell into the deep groove that the Ultra Beast had carved through the middle of the street.[break][break]

And the hyper beam and its massive diameter would be launched right over her head—bright, loud, deafening, burning. Her hands slapped to her ears but failed to ease the terror or to stop the attack.[break][break]

There was no way she could stop it. Not on her own.[break][break]

tldr: started running and withdrew sylveon to run better. tripped and fell into the groove in the street that the guzzlord had caused by dragging its fat ass around. she is able to duck under the massive hyper beam by pure, dumb luck.

the HYPER BEAM fizzles out as it passes over her body. the attack comes to an end and the pokemon no longer sees . that's the end of that.[break][break]


it turns around and resumes guzzling down anything within reach. what's left of the building its in starts to crumble as it eats away at the walls and still standing standing upper floors.[break][break]


[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • runs and falls into a ditch. dumb luck in action.
  • the HYPER BEAM misses and the pokemon sees nothing left. it turns back and starts eating what's left of the building it's in.

it takes her a moment to place where she'd seen the phenomenon before; those strange rifts, as if a stage curtain has been drawn back. it was only for a heartbeat, but it was here, in mossdeep where she and lucas observed something similar at the space center.

in hindsight, she can pinpoint it; that exact moment when wonder turns to horror. shaking ground as though a short-lived earthquake, followed by a grinding noise that doesn't cease, and then shrill screams. the creature, the monster, shovels everything it can grasp in its void-mouth, and persephone feels something like hatred.

there is no precept to guide them, this being isn't regulated by any myth familiar to her, but it goes deeper than that; whatever this is, it's not of this world, that much is palpable in the very air. the monster doesn't deserve the reverence she afforded regirock in the ruins.

while the buildings turn to rubble and crumble, while the fleeing civilians push against her in their attempt to escape, persephone can't - won't - run.

her heart doesn't let her.

ducking into an unassuming alley, her hands are steady as she records the gigantic creature feasting on concrete and rubble and sends it through to a handful of league colleagues without wasting any time on adding text communication. by now surely they know, but any supporting evidence could be useful in analysing the invader's weaknesses.

indeed, persephone narrows her eyes as a faint crimson envelopes the pokemon, only to disappear a heartbeat later.

they were scattered and unorganised in the ruins. this time has to be different.

the air leaves her lungs when the HYPER BEAM flickers on - a blast of light accompanied by a horrible chorus of screams cut short, of melting steel beams - and then its over as if it had never taken place. destruction on such a scale, on a mere whim, with barely any telegraph for when it might happen again.

rubble litters escape routes, and persephone gingerly releases a mienfoo. the invading beast is capable of great destruction, but it seems intent on eating more than anything for now. a subtle approach to evacuation might be the best method for now. persephone has no intention of becoming target practice.

why is it eating. it can attack on this scale, why isn't it? not understanding makes it worse.

movement in the groove over which the creature just released its HYPER BEAM catches persephone's eye and her jaw tightens at the realisation that someone fell in. slinking slightly forward against her better judgement, she can make out a familiar silhouette.

careful to be sheltered from the creature's sight, persephone waves her hand to catch the young woman's attention.

"bailey?" persephone hisses so quietly that she herself can barely hear it over the sound of buildings being torn and consumed. two heads are better than one, even if it is them.

» observes the UB from a distance & sends a snippet of video recording to idk / / science colleagues??
» notices the red aura & maybe the enlargement?
» recognises and tries to subtly wave her over w/o attracting guzzlord's attention

tragedy is always a surreal experience. it usually comes out of nowhere, with no obvious rhyme or reason. in an instant the mundane turns macabre and a perfectly forgettable day is irreversibly inked onto the page of memory.

triss walks out of a restaurant, parasol in one hand and leftovers in the other, and looks at the sky. she's been in mossdeep for a night and day now. all to see if that great tear in the sky has anything of interest to offer. by now she's sure it doesn't.

disappointment pushes her to look away from the sight and so her back is turned when it happens.

she doesn't get to watch the monster fall from the sky, but she feels the tremors when it lands. hears steel and concrete give way to something massive; and the chorus of shrieks and screams that starts up a moment later.

a great gust of wind blows her hair up and tugs at her parasol. she stumbles for a moment and then is bowled over by the sea of bodies that suddenly rushes by her.

for almost thirty seconds she experiences the aftermath of whatever disaster has taken place behind her without setting eyes on it even once.

when the seconds pass she is alone on the street, hair and clothing a mess, her parasol gone from her hand. the ache of scrapes and blossoming bruises builds as she gets to her feet, but any pain in her body is quickly forgotten once she finally lays eyes on the cause of all of this panic.

even from a couple blocks away the invader from the sky is something to behold. a mass of dark flesh and gnashing teeth with a body unlike any she's ever seen. fascination and horror become one as she watches it tear its way through buildings and people both.

she breaks into a run, not away from the hulking figure but towards it -- hiding behind debris and blown out buildings as she approaches.




notes:
> triss is leaving a restaurant when guzzlord falls from the sky
> she hears all the carnage and is knocked over by fleeing civilians
> she catches sight of guzzlord from a distance
> excited by this new sight she begins a quick approach -- hiding behind shit as she does

edit: i wanted to center the spoiler & roll. before edit it was 65 -- just in case editing rerolls on accident

[break][break]
the building he's on gives him a decent vantage point, not that he particularly needs it to see...whatever it was he was looking at. he sees the children — might have saved them had the distance between them been shorter — and doesn't completely understand the danger they're in until it's too late. a sound of pity and disgust is smothered by a hand pressed to his mouth.
[break][break]
this is not simply a force of destruction, now this is a threat. demolition is one thing, but now he understands the chips he's putting down with each metre he closes. he would have run by now, had he not been wholly and ardently fascinated by the creature before him.
[break][break]
vega's been alongside him the whole time, her reactions only slightly mirroring his own. curiosity and an undeniable fear. the league are already trying to sink their jaws into the beast, it seems. he watches the woman in the fray, lets her test the waters.
[break][break]
the power he witnesses is nothing to shrug at. a building crumbles under the roar of a hyperbeam, reminds him to keep on guard at all times; ready to attack, ready to run. the dread in his gut surges but an undeniable excitement follows suit. he's done enough observing for now, now he wants to run some tests of his own.
[break][break]
he gives his order with a curt nod of his head. his noivern wastes no time. throwing her head back, a flurry of blue and purple gathers before a gaping mouth. she waits, a beat passes, and with her eyes locked on-target, dragon pulse hurtles towards the monster.

marcel's already searching for his escape route.

well this wasn't an impressive drive. he could see from afar the aftermath caused by the HYPER BEAM from earlier. "oh dear, this isn't gonna be a pleasant mission." arian had been residing within the back of a limousine.

a hand upheld his chin. dressed within a charcoal colored suit, his attire was all black from head to toe; dress shoes and all. he wore half-palm sized leather gloves. upon the inside of his vest, residing over a gray dress shirt, were the transparent pokeballs of his respective pokemon.

"driver, stop." they were able to see the beast from their position. the road ahead of them was practically tattered. it would be hard for the driver to pass through clutter. "what a mess this is, to think we'd have to deal with those things again. alakazam is still recovering a that..." upon stepping out of the vehicle, an eevee would come plopping out of the car, standing at arian's side.

"stay close to me and try not to die little, okay? you'll be acting as support for this mission." then again, his entire team would be playing support. they were facing a giant foe, and thinking back, it was already hard enough to deal with a regular-sized version of this alien creature.

ahead of them was a familiar face, . and, barely audible, he heard the voice another, or so he thought to have imagined. arian's cerulean gaze ventured to find hiding. rather than taking on that monster alone, it was better to put their heads together and figure out how to deal with that titan.

you know what they say? a three-headed exeggutor equals one plan of action. with eevee at his side, he'd run over toward . "i can't leave you alone for one minute, can i? you reckless, drunk." he'd extend a hand to help her up, "persephone's nearby, let's head to where she is."


tagged: ,
note(s): arrived. went to help bailey up. suggested they move their asses and run to . dunno where she is, but she's nearby apparently? didn't wanna control her location.

Lucas was hesitant to make his way to the landing site. If it wasn't for the literal nagging in his head he'd have likely watched from afar. Watched and observed, as any sensible person would have done.

"We're here, now wh-"

His sentence ended abruptly as a hyper beam tore through the city. It cut through steel, rocks, and even flesh in an instant. It left the brunette dumbfounded. He looked towards the source of it, Guzzlord for a split second before running for cover.

"Gods, you can't be serious. I-we can't stay here against that. You can't even do that," he said in frustration to the pokemon in his head.

The head scientist took out his phone to call the pokemon in to , before he noticed the message from . Immediately he'd call the other head scientist, the only other person he knew was nearby.

"Come on, come on," he muttered beneath his breath.

tldr:
  • Saw hyper beam do its thing
  • Talked to the voice in his head as he ran for cover
  • Noticed slid into his DMs so he called her.

AN ORACLE ENTERS THE FRAY

A LEGENDARY POKEMON OFFERS YOU AID!
[break][break]
"Lucas...."[break][break]

The voice is soft, concerned, no longer fraught with the haughty, carefree humor it always carries. This is not a time to play around and the sentiment is evident by the nauseous anxiety that festers in the pit of both of their consciousnesses.[break][break]

"Lucas that thing! That's not a pokemon. It's... a monster! It's not natural! Be careful!"[break][break]

The HYPER BEAM tears through the landscape and the pokemon is left just as dumbfounded as the head scientist. Their vision is shared and a soft panic washes over the pokemon. A strumming warmth bellows from within, kindling from within the very essence of his being.[break][break]

"But we can't let it rampage like this! Did you see that? Did you see what it did? That's crazy!"[break][break]

The pokemon contemplates the situation as Lucas frantically dials on his phone. Desperate times demand desperate measures. While everyone else may understand that they're in danger, only the legendary pokemon, being acquainted with the power level of several other legendary pokemon, understands the true peril they're facing.[break][break]

"Lucas, we shouldn't do this but we might not have any choice. I'm going to make you my avatar. Our compatibility might not be the best but I can't think of anything else. Find somewhere safe, I'll need to bond with your soul and use some of your life force to manifest."[break][break]

A fire ignites inside, clawing at his innards. It needs to be released, unchained by the bind of his very soul. It starts to bubble in anticipation. It burns but Lucas has never felt so alive. It's exhilarating, it's inhuman. Is this the power of a legendary pokemon?[break][break]

"I'm taking that thing down!"[break][break]



[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • Legendary pokemon claims that this thing is not a pokemon. Tells Lucas to find somewhere safe so they can channel a pact to make an avatar. The Legendary pokemon wants to fight!

Bailey Cooper had kept her face down to the ground as the hyper beam tore through the space above her—even when it passed, the Sergeant struggled to find the nerve to raise herself from the ground. Shock had locked her limbs in place. A primal, instinctual part of her mind demanded that she played dead.[break][break]

But she defied it.[break][break]

How many people had died because of that attack? Bailey does not want to see—does not want to glance in the direction that the beam had traveled. Nothing would be left. Everything would have been laid to waste.[break][break]

Death had been so close. It was why her arms were shaking as she raised her head, watching the monster as it lost interest—or did it just lose sight of her? The Sergeant cannot say, and she cannot fathom how to deal with this situation.[break][break]

An outright fight would be impossible. Not on her own. Not in a city that was overflowing with civilians.[break][break]

Her stomach churned. How was she supposed to know that this creature had possessed this level of strength? Her eyes barely acknowledged as he joined her side. Her stare was still focused on the beast as it ate through concrete—the sound of stone grinding reminding her of the kids.[break][break]

What did he say? Something about ? The Sergeant could recall the whisper and turned her head in that direction. “We can't fight it. Not here. One attack nearly destroyed an entire city block. This whole place will be fucking wiped if we piss it off,” or worse, they would die in the process. Her throat constricted as prior experience flowed into her mind.[break][break]

They had to gather numbers.[break][break]

Slowly, she picked herself up off the ground, careful to not make noise and attract its attention. “Seems happy as long as it can keep eating, the fucking unit—”[break][break]

And that was when DRAGON PULSE collided against it; it was like throwing a jerrycan to a raging forest fire.[break][break]

“ohfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck—” The Sergeant frantically whispered as she dug her hand into Arian's arm; she was dragging the dark-suited man as adrenaline forced her to run to the same alley that Persephone was taking cover.[break][break]

Her eyes glanced to the rooftops, trying to find the source of the attack. Was someone trying to get themselves killed?[break][break]

MOSSDEEP MAYHEM: HARDCORE

MOD RAID POST!
[break][break]
@triss remains undetected for now. the debris of the broken buildings prove ample cover to obscure her from its field of vision. either way, it's looking the other way, too caught up in eating.[break][break][break]

's live footage of the beast reaches league headquarters. they're all astounded and the text messages flood in. the researchers, the higher ups, even himself. they all bombard her phone and the only message that sticks out is from the councilman himself. "get out of there while you can. stay safe. i love you." that too is cut short as 's incoming call overshadows the notification. her phone vibrates in her pocket, silent.[break][break][break]

's entrance goes unnoticed as well. he tries to approach and provide with a HELPING HAND but the roles are reversed as she suggests otherwise. they're cut short by the sound of 's DRAGON PULSE landing a direct hit on the pokemon's right shoulder area, if that. naturally, starts to haul ass, dragging along. her strength is herculean and the three houses are united once more. [break][break][break]

is undetected, currently, and waiting for to pick up, if at all. his attention will be split between that, observing, and communicating with the spirit inside of him.[break][break][break]

's noivern takes the time to aim its attack. the result is that the DRAGON PULSE lands a square hit on the pokemon's right shoulder—if you can call it that—area. near where the shorter appendage is, the pokemon rotates its arm in a circle, more annoyed then damaged. it turns again to retaliate, giving a STOMPING TANTRUM in place, causing wild tremors to rock the immediate vicinity. [break][break][break]

its jaws are wide open, the innards of the pokemon revealed to all that dare stare into the abyss. deep inside, a faint glow emanates from another layer of mandibles. it opens up and a wild, feral, unworldly SNARL bombards the area with a terrible force. [break][break][break]

aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[break][break][break]

[break][break]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[break][break][break]

the visceral impact of the scream causes a SHOCK WAVE to ripple through the air. signs of electric discharge scatter, reaching out and zapping anything in the immediate area as the sound starts to rattle inside everyone's head. the insane scream of a deranged, hungry beast digs deep into the brain. it's reminiscent of a man lost in utter despair. windows shatter, light debris gets thrown out in every direction, no one in the area is spared. all are brought to their knees, clutching their ears as the vibrations find a way to seep past any barriers they try to pry between the scream and their ear drums. [break][break][break]

and his noivern, the primary target of the pokemon's attack, are DEAFENED until the next MOD RAID POST.[break][break][break]


[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • @triss is caught up in the event as she leaves a restaurant. after the stampede of fleeing people, she approaches the pokemon from behind broken rubble, undetected.
  • records footage of the pokemon and sends it back to league headquarters and the league groupchat. she releases her mienfoo. the footage is sent successfully. the league has no idea what they're dealing with.
  • watches from atop one of the many surrounding buildings. his noivern stays beside him, watching as 's sylveon use MOONBLAST.
  • after the HYPER BEAM, hides among the rubble, waving towards .
  • pulls up in his limousine. he steps out with his eevee. he runs over to and tries to help her up and suggest they rendezvous with .
  • arrives on the scene, running for cover. he starts to dial but calls after seeing her upload footage to the league groupchat.
  • the legendary pokemon inside of warns him that whatever it is that they're facing, it is not a pokemon. tells to find somewhere safe so they can channel a pact and summon the legendary pokemon to the fight!
  • orders his noivern to use DRAGON PULSE. after aiming a solid shot, it fires, landing a direct hit! knows what's coming and starts looking for how to leave the rooftop.
  • picks herself up with the help of . she warns him not to fight in the middle of the city but is interrupted by the sight of 's DRAGON PULSE. in typical bailey fashion, she drags with her and hauls ass. he's literally being dragged over to where is hiding. she's also trying to look for .
  • 's call rings in 's pocket.
  • the pokemon has a STOMPING TANTRUM while turning to face 's general direction. the earth around it shakes under the pokemon's hefty weight. it responds to the attack by screaming. loudly. so loud that everyone is brought to their knees, clutching their ears.
  • the scream is so loud that the air the sound uses to travel ignites in a wide array of SHOCK WAVES. anything too close to the pokemon will end up getting shocked. and his noivern are DEAFENED until the next MOD RAID POST.

[attr="class","post"]his eyes narrow in grim fixation as the dragon pulse barrels towards the monster. it makes a clean hit, but he's far too preoccupied gaging a reaction to feel any sort of satisfaction.
[break][break]
it turns towards him. his muscles tense, ready to run. the tremours try to shake him off balance, but he holds fast. it opens its mouth. he's still watching. macabre curiosity stops him from tearing his gaze from gore that stains its teeth.
[break][break]
it screams.
[break][break]
marcel opens his mouth in a soundless reponse. it's piercing, relentless, and all he's able to do is make sure he collapses backwards, rather than forwards and off of the building. his noivern screeches, but its cries are lost to the beast's wailing. for a moment, they are still. buckled over and fighting wildly against nausea.
[break][break]
vega is the first to spring to action. she nudges her trainer none too gently with the top of her head, urging him to move. marcel, having broken out of his trance, rushes to the edge of the roof. he curses as he looks down, but he's unsure if the words have made it past his lips. all he hears is a furious buzzing in his ears.
[break][break]
grabbing the scruff of his noivern's neck, he leaps onto her back the very moment she dives off of the building. it's a shaky flight, without the use of her soundwaves vega's grown unsteady. closing the distance between them and the ground, after a few seconds they've settled into a safer height. marcel scours the surroundings, making sure to steer as clear out of the beast's way as he can. he spots a head of blond.
[break][break]
arian. thank fuck.
[break][break]
both trainer and pokemon recognise the man at the same time, and the two make a hasty beeline towards him.
[break][break]

[break][break]

[break]NOTES: marcel flies off the roof on his noivern, hoping their sudden exit and erratic flight pattern is enough to shake off guzzlord's attention. he spots arian and flies towards him once they've reached a safe height off the ground.

Ever since Saif had stepped foot into Hoenn he had encountered all types of unusual sights, but nothing held a candle to what he witnessed before him today. He never expected that a casual business trip would turn into something so otherworldly. A hole in the sky, children screaming, the crack of bones and buildings, a laser so bright it could match the sun, and an ear piercing shriek. It all happened so fast.

"What is God's name is that thing," Saif muttered to himself as he approached carefully from a distance. His left hand swiped his Zoroark's Pokeball right off his belt, materializing it beside him. "That's... That's not normal... I've never seen that in any of my books."

He pushed past people, slowly continuing forward, but not close enough to put himself in any immediate danger. "Imagine if it was ours." The Underboss thought to himself, extending another hand for an empty Pokeball. He shifted his gaze to the others in the area. The majority fled, very few began to counterattack. It might just work.

They would need more, many more. Saif removed a cellphone from his inner jacket pocket. He turned into an alleyway, keeping the beast in his peripheral vision. "I want every Rocket on the island to make their way to downtown Mossdeep City and subdue that Beast. Get here as fast as possible." He paused, waiting a brief moment before finishing the message and sending it out.

The Underboss then looked back towards the beast, his Zoroark grabbing him and leaping around to survey the area and get a clearer view of the Ultra Beast.
