with bryony at his side. they, together, watched as the airheaded delphi made way toward them. a disgruntled look was worn upon mateo's face. of all the people it had to be delphi. of course, it wasn't all bad. it was better than chance or noelle, maybe? even so...he wasn't too happy with the party addition.

"if you thought even for a second i was gonna bring the most klutziest of klutz on the planet with me. you got another thing coming, idjit." mateo retorted. hell, mateo didn't even know where the hell this thing was taking them. it wasn't as if he was searching for this place. after all, this was nothing more than an urban legend. something not even his mother was sure existed. to actually witness something from a story felt all too real, the fact that the soul dew in their possession led them here was still baffling.

"anyway, i've half a mind to kick your ass right now." mateo growled, continuing, "you could've gotten yourself hurt?!" turning his back on delphi, he'd sigh. he'd half a mind to send him back home, but even that was too much to ask of the airhead. "look, if you plan to come along with us. just make sure to watch your own back." it wasn't the fact three was too much, but delphi was just...a special kind of person who needed extra attention sometimes.

"let's just pick up where we left off and start to make our way toward--" he hadn't noticed it until now. but upon turning toward the SKY PILLAR'S ENTRANCE, mateo's sight became agape. shocked by the tall entrance that held nothing but darkness within. "that's one hell of an entrance..." he'd look toward bryony and delphi.

after everyone's piece was said, mateo would order, "alright, as party leader, we'll be heading into that place. bryony," he'd look her way, "gather your belongings and round up your pokemon, ready up for departure." looking back toward the sky pillar's entrance, "i don't think we'll be coming back for a long while. is everyone ready?" once everyone did what they had to do. mateo and dragonite would take the lead and guide the party into the entrance's dark abyss.

notes: alright, after you two post i'll throw up a link within the research thread to alert spiral we're ready to move on!!

ZONE OF ENDERS




[attr="class","ipad"]ASCEND SKY PILLAR[break][break]
there are only two routes up SKY PILLAR: to scale up the tower through flight or to climb it from the inside. the trio take the later and submerge themselves into the wickedness of what lies beyond. each step they take shrouds them in the obscurity that comes from the lack of light. it isn't until they the light of outside dies behind them do they adjust to the darkness. small cracks along the walls allow sunlight to peer in but the cracks are so minuscule that nothing is truly visible.[break][break]

the first floor feels more like an empty chamber than anything else. it takes them over twenty minutes of following the winding walls to find the stairs that ascend to the second floow. the occasional bellowing of something outside rocks the foundation of the tower despite the muffled volume denoting that the source is far too high for them to reach. the continuous trek will take its toll on their stamina and @delphi will realize the gravity of their pillage up SKY PILLAR. no one from the modern generation has ever set foot in the tower but the lores of old will have exaggerated stories of year long journeys up the tower. at their current speed and the raw size of the building, that doesn't seem too far fetched. [break][break]

the second floor becomes the third and by the time they reach the fifth floor the ceiling no longer spans the entirety of the room. they are unable to perceive what lies beyond the darkness but the center of the tower is hollow, an endless void into the upper floors that scales into infinity. the empty space is easily the size of league headquarters and their main walk way spirals along this void with an incline that allows them to continue their ascension. the creators of SKY PILLAR used to call it the tower of god. only the relentless can conquer its mighty mass. [break][break]

along the trek the observant will realize that various vines sprawl across the pillar's stone foundation, pulsing as they too provide reinforcement to the structures integrity. the vivid shade of green shows a liveliness of fresh vegetation that the keen may question due to the noticeable absence of water. perhaps the moisture provides enough substance. [break][break]

it isn't until the seventh floor that they encounter something different than mere hiking, the sound of folding paper rustles against their footsteps and something drops from the endless void. it glides downward until it lands several meters in front of them, motionless. the area around them is plentiful, providing the perfect arena should a fight unfold. [break][break]

[break]

the creature has no face and without any distinct features it is impossible to read the pokemon's demeanor or intentions. the pokemon is four feet tall but impossibly skinny. its surface is smooth but bend into various folds that give the pokemon the flexibility to move. the way its joints bend seem like the material is folding while remaining rigid.

By the third floor, Bryony's breath begins to catch but she does her best to hide it. With only their pokemon to illuminate the dark (she had brought a flashlight, but the ocean fall ruined it), it's easy to hide the red in her face. She grips Mateo's hand, urging herself to keep pace.

By the seventh floor, Bryony is resigned to sitting on her Drampa's back as the pair follow after. Head bowed in shame, she notices the vines creeping along the floors and walls and the unnatural vibrance of them.

The appearance of the creature causes them all to stop. Bryony stares at it, lips folded together. The drampa narrows his eyes and, without prompt and no other movement, puts up a SAFEGUARD.

"I've never seen a Pokemon like that," Bryony murmurs, sliding off her pokemon to stand at Mateo and Delphi's sides. Her hands knit together and fidget. "Is it... friendly?"

after laughing off the irritation from mateo— the trio made their way into the tower. it was dark save for the few openings in the ancient wall. umbra joined with bryony's pokemon in offering light. his sapphire glow gifting additional visage in the structure.

he rambles on and on. pondering the wonders and his amazement for the place. possibly (most likely) annoying the other pair. eventually as their trek continues for what appears as forever— his consistent voice softens. few beads of sweat form at his forehead and he wipes them away with the back of his hand.

for what seemed a peaceful climb— the ramble starts again.

unfortunately for them, delphi was far more excitable given the unlikely surroundings. "i wonder whats at the top? something big maybe? it sounds pretty big!" there is no room for response, "will you two be alright? don't push yourselves to hard! this might be the biggest climb of our lives!" and the last one. such a thing was better left unsaid. certainly it hung heavy at the back of their minds already.

delphi stops with the group. glancing left then right before noticing what stood few lengths away. "paper?" he says, blinking curiously at the creature. this was the first time he was seeing something different. the massive and deadly presence from mossdeep somewhat showed a resemblance given its otherworldly build. however that was a brief thought that dissipated as he opened his mouth to speak.

"hey there! my good friends and i are just visiting the pillar! taking a friendly stroll to the top! breaking a sweat!" he pumped his fist upwards in excitement, "someone is being awfully noisy at the top too! maybe they need help? do you know if they need help? do you need help? are you lost?" the unmoving being was suddenly bombarded by the attack of a blabbering individual. well... the safer advance maybe?

mateo made sure to check back for bryony's well-being every now and then. to ensure she was doing well. he made sure to watch out for the pair, but delphi seemed more ecstatic than tired. the climb was nothing for mateo, he trained his body for moments like this. but, even so, he was human and grew winded at times. it was a blessing his stamina could handle it.

though their eyes were acclimated to the darkness. they could still use some light, MATEO WOULD CALL OUT CHARIZARD in place of his dragonite for light. the flame of his tail gave them the light source needed. with umbreon and charizard, they had all the light they could need. delphi, soon after, spoke. "speak for yourself," mateo replied.

it was then an unexpected surprise came. bryony said her piece, delphi continued his usual rambling. as delphi spoke for the group, mateo would look back to the papier-mâché. a hand was brought to the nape of his neck as he possessed a disinterested look, "it doesn't look harmful. if it were harmful it'd attack us, no questions asked." it was just an assumption. charizard was ready for a brawl if it came down to it.

rubbing his back. mateo would say, "down boy." though, he wondered, was it possibly just randomly passing by or scoping them out for the thing that shot them earlier. "you some kind of guard?" mateo would step in front of delphi and bryony, just in case anything bad unpleasant happened.

the pokemon remains unresponsive, even in the face of delphi's rambling. it does not explicitly impede their path onward but does stand in the middle of their walking path. should they try to navigate around it, they'll find the pokemon stationary until they make physical contact with it. should they get close to it, they can hear the a whistling inhale coming from the pokemon's center. [break][break]


[break][break]


the advent of light sheds away the mystery of SKY PILLAR. the ruins are in shambles, decayed with the passage of time with chips and whittled down stone. the endless void that sits at the basis of the tower's center reveals the floors above, just as absent as the mundaneness continues to where the light cannot reach. there are multiple options now, each with their own consequence. [break][break]


the rest of the tower is ahead with two paths upward. you may continues to trek up by following the spiraling climb or ascend through the dimly light opening that shoots straight up the tower's center. [break][break]

thinking long and hard. they'd no reason to physically harm. there was no provocation and it was simply ignoring them, what was mateo's solution?

"we keep going." mateo said, passing by delphi. "it doesn't have any reason to attack us, and it doesn't respond to anything we say." this was nothing more than a waste of time. "we're not pokemon researchers and it's not our job to understand every single pokemon we cross paths with." he'd come to halt, turning back toward it, "although, i am pretty curious..."

the pokemon held some resemblance to the trio back at the beach. was it a coincidence? mateo wasn't sure. "never mind, let's keep going. charizard, let's go!" he called, turning toward bryony, "let's keep going, bry!" a smile was given toward @bryony.

notes: ! ! !

- mateo has chosen to keep going.
- charizard is currently out of his ball.

Bryony's pale gaze lingers on the strange creature, teeth worrying at her lower lip. She reaches for Mateo, fingers curling around his wrist in reflex. It's not the pokemon she wants to understand, but rather, its reason for being here. The tower is immense and of clear importance.

For this creature to be here, there has to be a purpose.

She glances at Delphi then carries forward, eyes never quite leaving the paper like pokemon.

delphi considers mateo's words with high regard. although he finds it difficult to simply pass by this curiosity, the otherworldly presence is as unpredictable as their surroundings. legends don't voice things with absolute clarity. especially not anything like this. he watches the pair move ahead, hesitating before the pokemon with umbra as equally uncertain.

"well..." a finger poises to itch at his cheek, beginning to make pace with his friends. "it was nice meeting you!" his frame twirls to offer the creature a wave and a smile. though he doesn't expect it to move. delphi eventually reaches mateo and bryony, forcing himself in—between them with two slender arms settled on either side. abrupt though hardly anything overbearing.

"the stairway most likely leads to the top! though with how much time has passed i doubt it would be safe!" slipping from contact, he gestures towards the dimly lit opening. "this way! there should be another way around!" delphi catches the questionable stare of his umbreon and lets an anxious laugh slip by. "...maybe?" the blonde adds.

a passive choice leads to a route without conflict. all three explorers pass the unknown pokemon without consequence and continue along their route. their climb exposes them to an increase of foliage that encroaches the stone walls with an invasive sprawl. intermittent pulses of green light course through the vines like migrating ledyba in a dreary summer night. the additional lighting exposes two other figures descending upon them, this time landing away from the group and ending up behind them. it's the same species of pokemon as the one they came across earlier but in a variety of sizes. one is only as tall as two feet while the other is the same size of mateo. similarly, neither show any sign of movement after landing.
[break][break]

[break]

above, unrelated to the pokemon's emergence, another tremor rattles the tower. the sound of stone chipping away echoes within the darkness and a piece of the ceiling comes apart, falling through the hollow void and downwards toward them. the sudden gap allows sunlight to reveal how far they are from the top as well as the boulder coming closer towards them. something else they notice is how all the vines seem like roots, expanding from a central point near the new opening. [break][break]

among them, the most menacing sight is the reveal of several more of these pokemon dangling in the tower, slowly descending as gravity pulls them closer to the group. they float like pollen, drifting endlessly until they reach solid ground. their sheer numbers are intimidating but none of them show any real movement. walking up the rest of the tower will allow them to navigate around these obstacles without making contact but will take much longer. flying straight up the large opening at the base of the tower will bring them to the roof much faster but avoiding the pokemon will prove much harder.

"there's..." eyes drifted slowly upward, only to reveal an unfathomable amount of the creatures. "...so many of them!" he was appalled. their path to walk would lead them toward their destination, but served as a longer route. but if they were to fly? the possibility of reaching the top faster would prove most logical.

sadly, their path via flight would prove to be a bit difficult. mateo stood for a moment, only to, right after, look toward bryony as he thought about her health. "not only do they have different sizes, but they don't seem hostile...for now." unless it was a test, should they choose to fly there was a chance of them being attacked. if they choose to walk up the tower, there's also a chance of them avoiding potential conflict with the creatures.

"nothing ventured, nothing gained..." mateo would stop, turning toward the group. "alright everyone, we're gonna try to fly through them." turning toward his charizard, he'd return it. replacing charizard would now come NOIVERN. mateo, with a determined look, grinned with excitement. "get your best flyers out team, we're heading up; got it, delphi?!" pointing upward and yelling toward his male comrade, mateo would turn toward @bryony, "if you don't feel comfortable flying through them, you can ride my arcanine up the steps. that way, should they attack, they'll most likely ignore you. plus, with arcanine's speed, you'd probably reach the top before us."


notes: ! ! !

- mateo has chosen to fly, recalled charizard and brought out noivern.
- offered bryony a chance to ride on kyle the arcanine upstairs. should she accept, he'll call out arcanine for her while they fly through the weird paper bodied pokemon.

Bryony's eyes go wide as the creatures drift from the air as a flurry of falling snowflakes. Mateo's voice draws her from the trance and she looks to him then to the arcanine, face heating up as his words begin to sink in.

"I - no I can - "

Can she? Bryony's hands press together, nails biting into either side. She sucks a breath in then bows her head before she grabs the drampa's pokeball and recalls him.

"It's probably for the best."

A small voice reminds her of everything she doesn't want to hear. Bryony climbs onto the arcanine and curls her fingers into its fur. "Be careful, okay?"

THE MID POINT IS THE BREAKING POINT




[attr="class","ipad"]THE PILLAR'S TERROR[break][break]
Bryony takes the safe route up with Mateo's Arcanine and due to her prioritization of safety over speed her trip remains uneventful and relatively safe. It'll take her much longer than Mateo but she's making solid progress. The Pokemon's EXTREME SPEED accelerates the marathon up the tower but the elongated path covers too much ground in contrast to shooting right up the tower. [break][break]

To avoid every single descending Pokemon would prove near impossible for most. The finesse and AGILITY required to accomplish such a feat would test even the most reliable of mount. However, the Noivern's INFILTRATOR ability allows it to navigate the maze of bodies with ease. The usage of echolocation and the Pokemon's natural affinity for the dark allows it to pierce through the most efficient route in the same vein as piercing through the veil of a SUBSTITUTE attack. With a surprising deftness, Mateo ascends the tower's void and grows closer to the widening opening. The moment he breaches the mystery of what lies beyond, Mateo comes face to face with another Pokemon he's never seen before. [break][break]

There's a gaping hole on the north side of the tower from Mateo's position. Directly above him is the bottom of a tower Celesteela who's wedged itself into the floors above. The gigantic Pokemon's frame is like a splinter to the tower's structure, piercing through the stone floors and causing several of them to crumble as debris starts to fall toward Mateo from above. The lecherous vines seems to be the only thing keeping the mid point of the tower intact, INGRAINED into the foundation and providing it the structural integrity at the expense of becoming part of the pillar itself. Through the numerous cracks, Mateo can see a collection of the vines converge near the Celesteela's exposed face. There's a shining EMERALD ORB basking the Pokemon in a luminous glow.

Both of the Pokemon's steel rods remain free and revolve in place, unaware of Mateo's puny presence. Another ROAR sounds outside and while these floors are well lit compared to the darkness below, the numerous openings are too small to peek at what's happening outside. [break][break]

with bryony on her way, mateo moved forward.

he'd travel through the floor. guided by noivern, they would come to reach something...big and bright: celesteela and, what looked to be, an emerald orb. mateo would come to see that, before the orb, there resided what looked to be a--"giant woman?!" no, it was a giant female pokemon. he was shocked.

"what's that...?" he looked at the orb with fascination. "noivern, we're goin' for that orb." he wasn't sure what was happening, but that was something he couldn't pass up. plus, it'd be something nice to bring back to the family estate. "ready?" noivern cried, "TAILWIND!" gathering a gust of speed, they would maneuver like a dragonfly.

soaring with heightened speed, mateo would attempt to interrupt the celesteela's attention by snagging the orb that resided before her. by tightening his leg on both sides of noivern, and with a firm grip, he'd open his back. ready to snatch the emerald with a solid, "yoink!" attempting to maneuver upward, "keep it steady and use your AGILITY!" he'd no desire to be snagged by the bug bodied woman.

notes:

- snatch and grabs the orb.
- noivern uses tailwind + agility.

LOST ORDER




[attr="class","ipad"]THE TITAN'S WRATH![break][break]
Mateo's decisive call to action propels his Noivern forward. The TAILWIND carries them forward and in a sudden burst of AGILITY they dart dangerously close to the EMERALD ORB, mere inches from from snatching it away from the enclave of vines hoisting it upright. However, Mateo's miscalculation was trying to divert the Pokemon's attention away. The EMERALD ORB is the only reason the Pokemon has remained unaware of Mateo's intrusion. In the end, none of it matters since the Celesteela coincidentally finishes ABSORBING the gem's power. A RED AURA blazes from the Pokemon's core and its whole body ignites in an invisible atmosphere of raw energy. [break][break]

Mateo's thrown off balance by the sudden pressure and the duo get blown back by the Celesteela, barely able to clasp onto the EMERALD ORB as it implodes into a hundred splintered fragments. Before he can scoop the pieces up, they're devoured by the sudden wreckage that comes from the pillar's collapse. The sound of stone being vaporized booms from above and a tremendous HYPER BEAM cuts into the floors above them, carving out the tower as something tries to force their way in. A second passes and the terror stops, a momentary respite for what's to come. The intermission that comes after the HYPER BEAM is broken by the EARTHQUAKE caused by something ramming into Sky Pillar, breaking off the weaken floors above them as the top of the tower gets ripped away. Sky Pillar gets torn in half and the top half of the tower tips over, falling toward the sea below. [break][break][break]

[break][break]

Exposure to the sky allow Mateo to realize how far up he is. Several dozen stories separate him from the ground floor and their journey up the tower is rewarded with the marvel of the height of their climb. The winds pick up and he's buffeted by the climate's gust, no longer sheltered by the stone walls of what used to be Sky Pillar. Only now does the wonder live up to its name. [break][break]

Grey clouds part themselves and instead of some variance of blue, the sky is painted in a scaled green with crimson rain drizzling onto them from above. Rayquaza's length extends beyond what the eye can see, dwarfing the sun in an eclipse due to its sheer size. The strange Pokemon @bryony and @delphi had encountered from below surround the behemoth like insects, descending onto the mighty beast like hungry flies to a fresh kill. Their bladed arms repeatedly carve into the serpent's scales, creating the rain from the dragon's blood. Rayquaza ignores these minor annoyances for one reason and one reason only, it's too blinded in its own OUTRAGE. [break][break]

Without anything in its way, the dragon Pokemon finally has a clean shot at the Ultra Beast. It opens its maw and a familiar yellow energy starts to manifest from the Pokemon's agape jaws. It burns with the brightness of the sun. Another HYPER BEAM is poised to rain down, large enough to rival the caliber of Guzzlord's own attack, ready to engulf the Celesteela and Mateo in utter oblivion. [break][break][break]
