As the big mouth of a guzzlord finally vanished, Balder let out a sigh of relief. Finally, one down. Now they only needed to proceed forward. For safety's sake, the man called back his Zeraora and Duraludon before moving forward with Rapidash and Camerupt at his sides. Depending how things went for the other group, they might finally be able to finish this war once and for a-...[break][break]

Forgot to touch some wood. As soon as he thought that, a portal opened. The kind of portal he was too familiar with: a wormhole. Of an impressive size, covering the sky. Something was happening, nothing good for sure. "Let's hurry." said the Alolan man as he began to run forward, his pokemon in tow.[break][break]

As they reached the fighting area of the second Guzzlord, the man noticed the poison in their path and the flock of monsters coming. Adding to the meteor slowly falling towards them... Time was against them. On all account. And staying here would only lead to more casualties. Looking towards the power plant, he noticed stone edges rising up from the ground and an explosion, all too similar to the New Year.[break][break]

The man turned his head towards his Mega Camerupt, struggling to keep his mega evolution form. "Raise a path for us. After that, let go of your evolution. You've strained yourself enough."The camel-like creature nodded before putting all of his strength behind a final Earth Power, forcing a road of solidified earth to emerge from the water, leading all the way to the power plant and over the rock foundations.[break][break]

When the Camerupt's mega form vanished, Balder attempted to recall the pokemon before embarking on Rapidash's back. The horse, boosted by his evolution speed as well as the agility from previous turn, began galloping upon the newly created road, avoiding any incoming attacks as best as possible. Reaching the end of the road, it jumped to get a better landing area. While mid-air, Balder shouted one order: "Dazzling Gleam!"[break][break]

The horn of the Galarian Rapidash shone in a bright light, hopefully blinding the enemy as well as damaging them. Taking this opportunity, the man jumped off the horse, hopefully plunging forward and attempting to punch one of the generals, or at least an enemy. Hard to see when there's a blinding light. As he landed, only one sentence emerged from his mouth as he looked towards the powerplant. "Where is Solgaleo?"

THIS IS THE DAWN OF WAR, WE'RE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR
[break]
I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

Razz felt like he was going to fall over himself as a wave of relief hit him as the Guzzlord turn into some poisonous blob to dissolve in the water. He looked over to Wyn who finished up his healing and gave a salute to his trainer. "Just try and keep yourself safe," he told the boy who thanked him not entirely believing some young teen should be out here fighting, but its not like he was going to stop them. It was the destruction of the bridge that held up Cycling Path which brought his attention back once more. He groaned slightly thinking they would have a chance to rest for a moment before continuing but they were in war he should have thought better. At the call to keep going by the ex-gym leader Razz whistled for Cobalt. [break][break]

With MAGNET RISE still in effect moving wasn't going to be a problem for them as Razz and Whis jumped on them and headed north with Wyn running beside. The ranger making sure to return Flygon back to his pokeball for now as he wanted the dragon to rest for a bit before continuing as they've already been out longest just to get him here. A small pauses is given when a worm hole opens up from above and a roar is heard. Well this was just their luck but they needed to keep going as it seemed the thing that had knocked the bridged down earlier was another Guzzlord. With a knock on Cobalt's helm he had the steel pokemon keep going taking a glance as the Naganadel coming from the forest, but with several trainers from before attacking them, and even more impressive a large black beast coming from the forest as well. Part of him wanted to get his eyes check as he was pretty sure he saw Remiel riding that thing. [break][break]

How could any of this get crazier?[break][break]

Thoughts he would soon regret as the Guzzlord roared and called on a DRACO METEOR. "Wyn teleport us to cover," he was quick to order as the bladed pokemon TELEPORTED them under the parts of Cycling Road that was still in tack. Cobalt's MAGNET RISE the only thing keeping them move the water as Razz returned Gallade to lessen the load for now. "Whis PROTECT," he ordered wanting to have a second form of defense in case the meteors hit the bridge and then that would be what they would have to worry about. [break][break]

Once the attack was over he would knock on Metagross again to let the pokemon go forward telling him the plan. As they rushed forward Cobalt would use PSYCHIC to grab the debris from the destroyed road before sending the derbies to attack Guzzlord. Cobalt finally moving them on top cycling road once more cause it seemed two of their group were already heading toward the plant so he felt the best he could contribute to was retaking the road from the high ground.

TLDR:
  • MAGNET RISE (3/5)
  • Razz RECALLS Flygon
  • Gallade TELEPORTS them under bridge to gain cover from DRACO METEOR
  • Razz RECALLS Gallade
  • Zeraora uses PROTECT as secondary form of defense
  • Metagross uses PSYCHIC to lift broke parts of the bridge and use them to attack Guzzlord.
  • Metagross moves them onto Cycling Road to help take it back.

as the path is cleared the sight of the terrain forming up around the power plant was the tell tale signs that something was happening over there. then a giant portal opened up in teh sky above them followed by meteors and more nagadaniels and floating cubes oh my! "tch. scyther return. shiftry, venomoth, protect us." the two got to work with the grass type forming a swirling leaf tornado around the group to deter foes from approaching them while the venomoth flew up to the mouth of the storm and aimed a gust at the incoming meteors to try and alter their path to make them miss them.
[break][break]
kaine then took out another pokeball and released his ditto that looked up at kaine. the ninja pointed at the large guzzlord that was still up and kicking the rest of the league forces, "transform into that." could the ditto even do that? having such a beast on their side would probably tip the scales in their favor even if it was an alien. so with a little dance the ditto started to morph its body to try and mimic the physiology of the guzzlord.

It's nothing but utter chaos breaking out, and its hard to make out what's what through the continuous fighting. Her sights remain on Cotillard, and she catches only faint happenings before its shrouded by a mist. There's a scuffle happening with something on the road - its too far for her eyes to make out.

Circe catches a small glance of a familiar face, dangling for dear life from the massive gluttonous beast below. Some small part of her wants to help, as she registers the face as a, somewhat, treasured ally. Perhaps had she been closer or was more assured about the power she possessed, she might've. Unfortunately, her selfishness won't allow her to. She promises to herself that if things were more favorable, she would've - but, even then, she's not entirely sure if she's just lying to herself.

Instead, she turns her attention to the more immediate threats at hand. She holds on tight as steelix maneuvers about, releasing her shiinotic and absol in the process. Shiinotic easily sits upon her shoulder, much to her disgust at the feeling of its roots touching her. Absol slightly struggles in holding on, having to grind its claws onto the steelix's hardened body and lean against Circe as support. 

STUN SPORES release from Shiinotic, carried by the sudden gusts of wind stirred by others pokemon's. The paralyzing spores head towards the Stakataka.

Dragapult craftily uses steelix's gargantuan body as a shield from the multitude of attacks in favor of beginning to snipe the air forces with DRAGON DARTS. The live missiles seek out the Stakataka cubes and Naganadel cubes alike.

Gengar peers from out of Circe's shadow, erecting a PROTECT around her and her nearby pokemon. 

Absol's eyes glow a dark hue as it catches sight of 's raichu using light screen. "Go ahead," Circe encouraged with little disregard. Absol soon SNATCHES the light screen to erect the barrier around them. 

tldr;
- shiinotic uses the whirlwinds and gusts to send its STUN SPORE towards the Stakataka cubes
- dragapult uses DRAGON DARTS on both the cubes & naganadel
- Gengar uses PROTECT
- Absol SNATCHES 's light screen to use for itself

”Oh?” The floor beneath him was crumbling apart, a result of the Guzzlord’s temper tantrum. While his Pokémon were at solid footing Samuel found himself losing his own footing and tripping.

The man was tripping. The world was practically falling apart with all sorts of otherworldly nightmares trying to tear them apart while explosions and other nonsense happened and here he was tripping like an idiot.

Though he counted himself incredibly lucky, below him was the gaping maw of an angry Guzzlord and fortune had it that he wasn’t made into a snack.

And while his associates took care of the Silvally Samuel’s Alakazam grabbed the man and used TELEPORT to get him back on solid ground.

His Pokémon would then form a circle around him and focus on the cubes that were approaching the group. Samuel figured that and would have the Silvally under control so he ordered his Pokémon to deal with the cubes while he composed himself.

”I should’ve just got on that damn sub and stayed in there.” The thought of his gravestone saying “Tripped into the mouth of an Ultra Beast” popping into his mind gave him a headache.

His Manectric and Milotic were on cube duty, the Pokémon using THUNDERBOLT and SCALD on the flying cubes that came within range. Salamence used PROTECT to add to the barriers that were already up to protect the group from any stray lasers or meteors.

tl;dr
- Alakazam uses TELEPORT to save the dangling Samuel
- Milotic uses SCALD to shoot down any cubes.
- Manectric THUNDERBOLT along side Milotic.
- Salamence uses PROTECT to add to the barriers already up and to help protect the group from any incomming attacks.

WAR OF THE WORLDS RAID
SETTING: LATE SEPTEMBER
THIRD DAY OF THE WAR




GUZZLORD & NAGANADEL SWARM


AS THE ENTIRETY OF THE ROUTE is rocked with the tremors of battle, the next couple of minutes devolves into the conflict's most chaotic sequence thus far.[break][break][break]

While narrowly evades lasers and smoldering meteors, he sweeps through with his Aerodactyl's HYPER BEAM before landing by the last Guzzlord. As tends to in her unique way, her Blaziken darts forth with FLAME BURST to strike the remaining glutton. Her Golisopod uses LIQUIDATION on several low-swinging Stakataka cubes; however, one manages to shoot a powerful laser at its hide. Her Golisopod screams, writhing in pain as it pleads for help.[break][break][break]

She is joined swiftly by who drops off. As his Hydreigon weaves through artillery his Clawitzer pulses AURA SPHERE from its claws as Stakataka cubes whip around the air.[break][break][break]

Likewise, lands alongside her expelled Venusaur. As a swarm of Naganadel soars across the skies, her electric-type Pokemon and Venusaur combat their onslaught with an illuminated blizzard of petals. As DRACO METEORS upheave the earth around , he manages to fly away on his Yanmega. Despite its injured form, a HYPNOSIS buys enough time for 's Pokemon to fling the sleepy Naganadel against one another.[break][break][break]

Lasers cut into the earth, boring holes into unsuspecting trainers and Pokemon alike. As Stakataka swerve in the skies like migratory birds, 's Mega Gyarados launches a powerful THUNDER in the middle of the Naganadel swarm. A REFLECT pitter-patters violently as the poisons strike its screen. In the water, the red serpent would be able to swim quickly over to the Guzzlord and grassy path should it desire.[break][break][break]

The ninja, , arrives in a gale of LEAVES and VENOMOTH SCALES. Poison splashes away from the plants summons his Ditto. As the pink imposter begins to TRANSFORM, the foreign make of the Ultra Beast causes the Pokemon to struggle. In the end, the Ditto TRANSFORMS into a WADDLING GUZZLORD CLAW.[break][break][break]

wisely decides to pull back, avoiding an onslaught of lasers. The residual scent is bitter, as if the air itself has burned black. As her Braviary disorients the Naganadel swarm with a WHIRLWIND, she would be able to witness the explosive appearance of a large, black dragon. Sparking with electricity, 's mount soars through the skies as his Pokemon offer further help with SIGNAL BEAMS and LIGHT SCREENS before his Shadow Druddigon smashes a Stakataka cube to the earth.[break][break][break]

THE CYCLING ROAD


THE CYCLING ROAD IS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. Naganadel swoop down to toss soldiers off the elevated road. Poisons splatter across Pokemon, causing even the most battle-hardened Shiftry to succumb to the onslaught.[break][break][break]

While 's Zeraora provides him and his party with cover, his Metagross hurls chunks of bridge concrete at the Guzzlord. He's raised to the upper level by the steel arachnid's MAGNET RISE and witnesses the group of trainers in the middle of their Silvally struggle.[break][break][break]

Atop 's Steelix, commands her Pokemon. Poison and laser fire batter the Steelix's mighty hide, but the Pokemon holds steadfast. Her Dragapult retaliates with deft DRAGON DARTS as several cubes become PARALYZED BY SPORES. As she surrounds herself in protective barriers, she watches as 's corrupted Type: Null leaps. is swift to act. His Pokemon advance like shadows, and as they strike, a MOONBLAST from 's Gardevoir causes it to raise its front legs whike shrieking. 's Darkrai rematerializes to FOCUS PUNCH the Silvally off of its paws to save from its bite. The chimera skids against the littered bridge, sliding closer to @samuel.[break][break][break]

@samuel's Alakazam saves its owner from the edge. A laser chips the bridge where he once was, and as he rematerializes on the road, he sees and the rest of his Rocket partners engaged in their conflicts. As Stakataka cubes swing forth, 's Steelix lurches to SMACK DOWN several to a lower height. holds tight as 's Golduck and Clefable fire MUD BOMBS while @samuel, not to be outdone, provides his own attacks in the form of SCALDS and THUNDERBOLTS.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

As 's Silvally comes to, it swings toward @samuel. Cloaking itself with an immense energy, the chimera rushes toward Samuel with a MULTI-ATTACK (a move never before seen)— and the distraction allows a Stakataka cube enough time to reposition. A laser fires and bores a hole through @samuel's Manectric's chest. The electric-type dog wails and crumples, panting for breath as its lungs fail to inflate.[break][break][break]

BLACEPHALON BOMB


AS SABLEYE MEGA EVOLVES, its pure gem is wielded like a tower shield. As lasers deflect off its beautiful sheen, and fly on Corviknight toward the Power Plant. Tossing out Blacephalon, she would notice several Megalopolans reeling in fear or confusion.[break][break][break]

Lasers ricochet off of 's Mega Corviknight as the Underboss' Metagross tears into several Megalopolan soldiers. His Lycanroc is barely recalled as the bird is slowed, and he would watch as an incredibly unstable Ultra Wormhole is opened.[break][break][break]

She leaps into the Ultra Wormhole, the energy of the portal swirling all around her. As her Blacephalon disconnects its head to prepare for detonation upon terminating the portal— several things happen. , on his Ditto-Corviknight fly into the portal before 's eyes.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Like , he becomes briefly suspended in the terrible vexing swirling and spinning of Utra Space. Unaccustomed to such travel, would find that his Ditto immediately reverts back to its original form. However, more alarmingly, the other opening of the Ultra Wormhole seems to have difficulty maintaining its shape. An unknown source from Hoenn's realm is impeding its opening— for 's Cosmoem begins to close the wormhole up with and inside.[break][break][break]

As Head Scientist summons STEALTH ROCKS in front of the Blacephalon to attempt to block the bomb's trajectory, would shout. The Blacephalon hurls its head— and as the bomb strikes invisible rocks, the powerful force of its Z-MOVE causes it to hit its mark. Relatively. Delayed by and Cosmoem, the bomb is flung out of the portal moments before detonation.[break][break][break]

The Ultra Wormhole closes with and inside.[break][break][break]


THE EXPLOSION


SURROUNDED BY FORCES, consumes his SACRED ASH. The ash glows as howls ring around the area. The three legendary dogs rush into the obscured, misty area with powerful attacks. Megalopolan troops scatter in confusion, and as his Sivally attempts to bite at 's neck, his Manectric mega evolves with a deafening roar of THUNDER. Megalopolan troops scream as they're electrified, finding escape impossible as they collide with the barriers of STONE caused by 's Entei. Lights flicker dramatically across the grisly visages of Philomera and Jules— and cast 's in an intimidating hue.[break][break][break]


[break][break][break]

Philomera and Jules withdraw— hastily taking cover as STONE EDGE and DARK VOID burns through several forces; however, it is the rapidly expanding ball of flame that forces their retreat.[break][break][break]

As 's Blacephalon's Z-MOVE makes its appearance as a fiery sun through the mist, the bomb does not make it directly to the Power Plant. Instead, it explodes immediately outside of the opening. The resulting explosion, still rocks the entire route. Raikou peels away from the generator, the machine dented and torn apart from its attacks— but also from the resulting shockwave of the explosion.[break][break][break]

Silvally is tossed off of and as he and his Pokemon are catapulted away, the earth peels away from the sheer force. and his Pokemon are thrown into the sea as the explosion threatens to char him alive. Raikou, Suicune and Entei leap away, retreating from the site to reconvene after the bomb settles.[break][break][break]

is forced to pull back, the bomb's detonation large enough for everyone to see. , , , @samuel and watch as the final segment attaching the Cycling Road to the earth on the side of the Power Plant is obliterated. The resulting shockwave knocks them and the Silvally to their feet. Slabs of concrete batter their bodies.[break][break][break]

As attempts to rush toward the Power Plant, he would find the distance is much too far for what he wants to accomplish. Despite Mega Camerupt's strength, EARTH POWER can not erect bridges. Instead, the earth is uprooted and upheaved, causing some of the sea to part as mini-islands of sand and sediment are spiked above sea level. Still, he rides a ramp of earth to leap with his Galarian Rapidash— but the bomb's expanding force catches him in his mad dash. He and his DAZZLING GLEAMING Rapidash are hurled back by the explosion, and he crashes into the burning grass path below the Cycling Road. His Rapidash lays almost motionless, pleading for life, for its legs are broken.[break][break][break]

Similarly, attempts to shield herself from the attacks. However, she's close to the airborne detonation. As her Pokemon protect her, the earth tears up around her. The force of the bomb upheaves her tunnel and as her Pokemon are flung out, she lands on a fiery stretch of grass. Her Togekiss' chest seems to be caved in from the impact or the bomb itself, wings fluttering weakly as it begs for breath.[break][break][break]


THE AFTERMATH


AN EERIE SILENCE SETTLES UPON THE WARFRONT. In the aftermath of detonation, the bomb's damage can be seen. The entire earth above where the Power Plant is has been blown away, exposing the underground facility. However, more striking, is the odd cables that sprawl within its hallways. Philomera and Jules are no where to be seen— until a balled knot of black cables bulges out. The Generals leave through a gap in the cordage unscathed.[break][break][break]

In the distance, Philomera sees Zekrom. Its presence is unmistakable. And with a smile, she calls upon the Xurkitree to unearth itself entirely. The whole route quakes as thick, tree-trunk cables uproot from the ground. Like a giant, the Xurkitree hauls itself to its feet, shaking chunks of earth from its limbs. It is easily, the largest and tallest thing any of you have seen, for each sparking limb as thick as several fields. Sky high, Philomera and Jules are ants on the shoulders of the tall Xurkitree.[break][break][break]

It glows, beginning to charge more electricity when it raises its two arms, claws of exposed copper sparking like lightning.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

The Guzzlord near the Cycling Road finally succumbs to its wounds. Everyone's collective efforts made it weak enough for it be finished off by 's Blacephalon. Despite one threat leaving, there are still Megalopolan troops that have survived. However, the literal mountain of electric cables causes any celebration to be cut short.[break][break][break]

and 's Silvally recover quickly. As they attempt to locate their "owners" they snarl, their bodies engulfed in the energy of a MULTI-ATTACK as they aggressively approach their injured frames.[break][break][break]

WITHIN THE WORMHOLE


AS THE WORMHOLE CLOSES, has a chance to slip in should he wish. However, to do so would mean being trapped within the pandemonium of Ultra Space.[break][break][break]

Within this world, where one can not discern up from down and west from east, and would find themselves spinning around the crackling, web-like space. With Blacephalon fainted from the sheer power of its move, they find themselves stranded.[break][break][break]

However, Ultra Space is different now. Not that and would know. The FUTURE SIGHT from earlier becomes more clear. Here, within the wormhole, space and time seem to be torn apart. Scenes from different worlds flicker around the tunnel like television screens struggling to find the right frequency. The tunnel sinks in places and expands in others, like a bloated stomach or punctured lung.[break][break][break]

They see a Hoenn with a Mauville City that is outdoors, a man with Articuno in a Littleroot Beauty Contest— but this man is no , and a colony in what appears to be space. However, the stranded trainers see two separate rifts. They reveal a dark dimension. Water flows from all directions, and like the poetic void, darkness seems to consume everything within. Should they stare in, they find that two pairs of red eyes stare back.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Touching any of these rifts feels like glass. You can not slip into them— however, within this ever gyrating portal, you can see three Wormhole openings: one directly above you, one directly below, and one directly to your left.[break][break][break]

Surrounded by fate


[attr=class,bulk]Gardevoir's mental outreach is met only with dreary silence.[break][break]

Adrian is left to draw his own conclusions; he feels the earth shuddering beneath his feet as the battle continues to be waged in earnest, before he cautiously casts a glance in the Cycling Road's direction. If he left now, he would be picked off almost assuredly. And yet with their vanguard team presumably left in shambles or caught in a furious firefight, while their rear forces sustained ostensibly milder casualties, it was a choice that he felt needed to be made for their greater benefit.[break][break]

Before he can break away, the world is rocked from its core as a blast overwhelms the space ahead, obscuring Adrian's intended route from view in the momentary blinding light. The subsequent shockwave swats the airborne pokemon out of the skies, while those on their own two legs struggle to keep their footing as the tumultuous earth unsettles around them. Adrian is steadied by Grimmsnarl.[break][break]

In the aftermath Gardevoir stares blankly ahead, a wistful, misty-eyed expression cast towards the Cycling Road and beyond, its stare reaching a thousand miles as it felt the verbal outcries of suffering pokemon, some on their last leg, through its telepathy. Aside from that, Adrian insists there's a dire need to search ahead as the land is smothered in soot and debris. There had to be survivors...[break][break]

Not because it made sense, but because he had to believe. And yet his legs trembled and his arms felt limp and feeble as he tried to muster the nerve to move ahead. But do it he must. For those who might yet be spared...[break][break]

A brisk gait brings him over to Gyarados, who is quick to slink into the water momentarily as Adrian's finger gestures towards it. "Omen, Vixen, Karma; with me. We're going ahead." Gyarados lowered its head that he might step onto the breadth of space between its sails, Omen taking a step behind him, while Karma and Vixen followed shortly after. Furor seemed to bear the brunt of the weight with ease, due to their lighter frames and builds. Brazenly he pushes onward.[break][break]

As they reach the grassy path Adrian can see the state of ruin it's in, as well as the silhouettes of trainers (Lulu Flint and Rex Drago) alongside their ailing pokemon amidst the sundered landscape. Up ahead, what might've been a lasting vestige of Megalopolan foot-soldiers clambered to their feet. Gotta work fast.[break][break]

"Vixen, help the wounded; Furor, target those on the path ahead with Thunder," he quickly listed off his commands. "Omen, standby with Burning Jealousy. Karma, get ready to Teleport—" Once more the earth began to rumble as a monolithic creature began to uproot itself from the trenches of earth entombing it. What the fuck is that thing; it's huge! Adrian took a step back.[break][break]

It'd revealed itself with a charging and buzzing, having come from the direction of the Power Plant yet stretching its cables far beyond. "Ch-change of plan; Omen, Light Screen," he stammered while trying to resist the revelation that he was out of his depth. Adrian just couldn't envision anything quite that massive...[break][break]

Not even the statues in Eterna City seemed quite so titanic as this... thing.[break][break]

In his distracted befuddlement Adrian neglects to notice Karma's eyes have glossed over with FUTURE SIGHT only after delicately replacing two of the knives on Adrian's person with spoons made of the same stainless steel composite...

Boom.

The explosion shook the entire route. Moana, far away from the source, wasn't immediately hurt by the blast, but the ground trembled and the noise assaulted his ears.

After he stumbled, he recovered quickly. God, he was lucky that he wasn't one of the ones who was close enough to the blast to get hurt. He flinched as a Naganadel raced towards him, only to get repelled by Wali's Psychic. Good.

But there were certain to be others there. Others who weren't as fortunate as him, and who could use his help.

Moana began to race along the grassy path. He was no professional sprinter, but he was hardly out of shape, either. He started to run, and his Pokemon followed: Keila in his arms, Wali ahead of him, and Pertapa and Tynnu following alongside him. The ground quaked as he ran, but he didn't stop, not even as a gargantuan wiry monster unearthed itself from the power plant ahead. He might not be the best equipped to fight that thing, but he sure as hell would do what he could.

Alongside him, Moana's Pokemon supported the fight and made his run easier by taking down aliens on the way. Pertapa and Tynnu followed along, the Dwebble and Alolan Geodude blasting any who got too close in the face with Rock Blast, still remembering Moana's instructions from before. From Moana's arms, Keila the Pineco scattered Spikes at the feet of aliens who tried to attack. And, of course, Wali the Sigilyph flapped ahead, shoving obstacles out of Moana's path with Psychic, the protective Light Screen he had set up previously still shimmering.




SUMMARY
- Moana runs along the grassy path to try and catch up with the action!
- Sigilyph's Light Screen, turn 3.
- Alolan Geodude follows and Rock Blasts the face of any who approach.
- Dwebble follows and Rock Blasts the face of any who approach.
- Pineco, held by Moana, scatters Spikes at the feet of attackers.
- Sigilyph flies ahead and shoves away obstacles with Psychic.

Rex tried to wrench away as something grabbed him, "Don't you-" His wild voice cut off as the slap cracked across his cheek. Immediately, he fell back, affronted eyes glring up at , "Ow, why'd ya hit me!?" Bile stung his throat, and tears sprung up at the stinging in his cheek, but he was here, he was present. [break][break]

The water bug's injury drew his attention seconds before a terrible boom rocked his world, he could swear the very air vibrated as he covered his head futilely...before something far more terrifying rose from the explosion's aftermath. The other monsters? They were specks already compared to them, he only wondered if the gargantuan thing could even see them, but he wasn't hanging around to see. "Oh God! Oh shit! We gotta go!" He yelled like it wasn't already obvious.[break][break]

Another stranger rolled in (), but Rex spared no thanks as he leapt upon the Gosliopod's shoulder, helped by a push from One, and patted it. "Up, get up here!" He barked at his friend, eyes jerking around frantically as he addressed the bug, "I don't know if you see this, big guy, but we'd like to go, fast!" [break][break]

The Mega Evolution wore off, and One couldn't bare to use a true attack, but the fossil picked up the thrown down supplies in its mouth before it would also flee, loyally after Rex. Still clinging to the fossil, Four used Calm Mind, finding much to calm down from and the draconian Haxorus and Armaldo acted as vanguard and defense, slashing at anything that dared approach the group with Dual Chop and Fury Cutter.

Aerodyactl is on the cool down turn of Hyper Beam and loses its Mega Evolution but follows Rex on the ground, grabbing supplies before going! Raichu uses Calm Mind! Haxorus uses Dual Chop on anything that comes near! Armaldo uses Fury Cutter on anything that comes near! Rex is in "civilian" form, recognizable from the Beauty Contest!

As the fighting raged on, a massive explosion would rock the entire route. The Clawitzer would make panicked cries as he reacted to the loud detonation. Meanwhile, Kalameet and Thomas would be flung back several feet, before the black dragon would catch himself mid-air, recovering before he or his master could hit an object. As this was going on, all Thomas could do was hang on for dear life. Thankfully, his dragon had it under control.

"Good job, Kalameet.", Thomas told the dragon quietly, patting him on the head. He would find himself close enough to the Clawitzer to recall the Water-type back to its Pokeball. From there, the dragon would fly towards the power plant, cautiously making their way towards the carnage.

That was when he would spot , and her wounded Togekiss. Though the circumstances differed, the position she found herself in conjured horrid memories. Memories of losing Pokemon so close to him. Memories he had no intention of making her experience. "Kalameet, drop me off near her!", Thomas commanded, pointing to Bailey and her wounded Togekiss.

Kalameet complied, hovering low enough so that the human could hop off the dragon, and rush over to the Champion's side. "Bailey!", Thomas called out, offering her a hand. Once he was close enough, he would send out Colt, who did not need to be commanded to know that the Togekiss was in desperate need of a heal. The Water-type would fire a Heal Pulse at the wounded fairy, attempting to stabilize it.

"Prototype protective gear.", Thomas would answer the woman in a matter of fact manner. Having played so few video games in his life, which were reserved to his early childhood, he had no idea that the design was indeed based off of a video game.

As he looked up at the mass of sentient cables rising up, he looked back to Bailey. "Any ideas on how to bring this fucker down?", he inquired. Given that she came along with Kyle and Balder to rescue Mateo from Ultra Space, he'd hoped that she had some experience with this abomination.

As Thomas attempted to discuss the matter with Bailey, his Hydreigon was already sizing up the giant. As he was doing so, his mind was conjuring up a Nasty Plot. Whatever he needed to do, he was going to need to go hard, and go ruthlessly.

[attr="class","mareep-wrapper"]
[attr="class","mareep-post"]
the scene plays out as though in slow motion. [break][break]

dominic’s head jerks up to watch the events happen in sequence; two corviknight circling in the sky - one that he recognises as ’s - then the yawning portal opening up as blacephalon emerges courtesy of his passenger. the tame beast detaches its head off of its body, and dominic thinks he knows what kind of blast to expect but he was wrong this time. [break][break]

the ensuing explosion visually appears tiered as dust, dirt and seawater are all ripped from the earth. impulse drives dominic to take cover as dust and debris blow over him and those in close proximity. when it all settles he rises slowly, as if testing his limbs and muscles for injury, and though he feels the warmth of blood trickling down the side of his face and along his neck no feeling of pain seems to register. [break][break]

gaze fixed on the sky, dominic blinks at his peer, incredulous, as he and his corviknight also disappear into the wormhole. a quick glance tells him all his pokemon are accounted for, albeit they’re covered in a layer of dust. the silvally stirs in the debris and dominic makes an irritated noise in the back of his throat before glancing back up to whistle for his steelix. [break][break]

the pokemon will lurch down beside him and dominic will inch forward to reach for and pull him back from the silvally - with probably a little more force than needed. he holds up a pokeball for luxray and the pokemon catches the cue as it lights up bright and lunges at the silvally’s eyes and retreats just as quickly with VOLT SWITCH. in that moment, with silvally’s vision hopefully limited, dominic leaps onto his steelix and pulls along too as they join . [break][break]

the underboss taps his alcremie and points at marcel with a murmured, “make one of him for me real quick.” the pokemon turns its gaze to marcel and spins up a dead-eyed, boneless duplicate with SUBSTITUTE. dominic shrugs and tosses the marcel doll down for the silvally; hopefully it’s dumb enough to fall for the ploy, if only for a moment. [break][break]

as the steelix sets off toward the power plant, its travel is directed to be as swift and as close to the ground as is reasonable. nearing their destination, they coast over where @samuel and his injured manectric are, and although healing is provided by his colleagues the exchange is otherwise brief; dominic’s gaze is fixed at the smouldering power plant and the towering ultra beast. [break][break]

as they draw nearer, most of the movement below them is ignored as league rangers and the like rise from the debris and tend to their own wounds, their own dead. however, when dominic’s togekiss chirps and dips down in the air, dominic actually glances down to parse the ground below and calls his steelix to hover. he catches sight of two human figures, a clawitzer and an bloodied togekiss between; dominic recognises one of them and smirks as he pulls off the mask covering the lower part of his face. [break][break]

“not looking too hot there, champ,” he calls out to . though his smile is razor-sharp and his tone taunting, as his gaze gravitates back toward the power plant and the newly emerged ultra beast, dominic’s expression turns inscrutable. he heaves a sigh, glances toward the togekiss and inclines his head toward the wounded pokemon. “go on,” he says slowly. “help out your boyfriend.” [break][break]

his togekiss flutters down and taps into an esoteric power to perform a healing METRONOME for its winged counterpart. dominic looks on for a long moment and waits for the pokemon to finish before turning his attention back to bailey and jerking his head toward the xurkitree. “hey, ain’t it your job to take care of...?” [break]


[attr="class","mareep-tagged"]» dominic calls down his steelix and joins circe atop the pkmn along with marcel, the trio coast near the ground as they approach the power plant and heal samuel and bailey's manectric and togekiss along the way [break]

» luxray uses VOLT SWITCH to briefly blind the silvally [break]

» alcremie uses SUBSTITUTE to make an ugly marcel-looking doll to distract silvally lmao [break]

Having seen someone else follow his ally into the wormhole, Gavin worries for her safety. Katherine is capable, but if the pursuer was a Megalopolan—[break][break]

It's a decision made in a split second, spur of the moment. He makes it without the time to consider the consequences.[break][break]

"Through the portal, go."[break][break]

Wide, brilliant silver wings scatter sunlight as the Corviknight shrieks an answering call. WINDS OF RAGE whip up around bird and rider, their force throwing Gavin's hair into his eyes and roaring in his ears. With the speed granted to its flight by this forceful gale, Corviknight dives for the unstable rift in space.[break][break]

It's a sensation the likes of which Gavin has never felt: sharp, sudden, nauseating. His fingers are still wrapped around Metagross' pokeball — he'd attempted to recall the creature, but he doesn't press the button again to figure out if it had worked. He clings to his Corviknight, instead, as reality shifts and spins around him and his stomach churns. The portal closes behind him. It's unclear if he's right-side up or upside down, and everywhere he looks is alien and unfamiliar... until his gaze settles upon the very reason he'd risked such a maneuver.[break][break]

is with the man who'd followed her mad dash into Ultra Space, and it's not who Gavin expects. He recognizes : a respected scientist of the League. A potential rival, had Gavin chosen to stay on the path of science in his endeavours for Rocket.[break][break]

Corviknight, with Lucario still held in its broad talons, beats its wings steadily as they traverse the shifting tunnel of light-and-space. It makes Gavin feel dizzy just to look at it. He looks at Katherine and Lucas, instead, and then into the void beyond with its gleaming eyes of red. They remind him of Lugia's burning hatred, a shiver crawling down his spine.[break][break]

"Are you OK?" It's the only thing he can think to ask. "Fuck."[break][break]

Sj2NgFB8
[break][break]

Corviknight is MEGA EVOLVED! It gains its G-Max move, Wind Rage! [3/3][break]
With the last of its mega-evolution energy, Corviknight uses WIND RAGE to give it a boost of speed before carrying Gavin (and the Lucario it has in its talons) through the wormhole.[break]
I am choosing not to extend the mega-evolution duration.[break]
Gavin tried to recall Metagross before entering the portal but I can understand if that doesn't work.[break]
:higuys: U OK?[break][break]

THIS IS THE DAWN OF WAR, WE'RE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR
[break]
I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

When Razz arrived on top cycling road with the thanks of Cobalt he wasn't expecting crazy. Well not crazier than the whole alien thing they were all currently dealing with. Over the course of the, what week now(?), he's gotten used to Megalopolans and a few of their ultra beast but this was new. A white chimera beast attacking a group and then some pitch-black pokemon whose looks would be best described as what kids say the bogyman looks like. Though to him the most problematic of the bunch was the man from the Lighthouse (Marcel). Just seeing them had his paranoia flare up to red levels. [break][break]

Not that he had much time to react to any of what was taking place in front of him as the sound of an explosion hit, clearly a big one as the shockwave knocks him back making Cobalt taking a more protective roll as they catch their trainer with one leg, and allows Whis to hide behind another. Razz grunting in pain as all he could do was brace himself from some of the incoming debris. Seemed like everything just wanted to get worse and worse as what filled the air was mostly a ringing left after after the explosion. Though if his old training taught him anything it was action need to be taken, don't just sit and be a bystander. [break][break]

With one of the men ordering his shadow pokemon to attack the white beast that was chasing the Steelix they were riding Razz figured this would be the best time to leave. Since the explosion had already taken out the Guzzlord, a large portion of the bridge, and knocked town aliens into the water Razz no longer had a need to be there, especially anywhere near Lighthouse guy. With a slap on their head Cobalt jumped of the bridge with Razz and Whis on their legs, floating with the use of MAGNET RISE. Razz would have made sure to whistle at Whis to use PROTECT again in case anything attacked them while over the water and toward the flaming road. [break][break]

"The hell is that?" Razz couldn't help but question as he held onto his Metagross as all he could do for the moment was watch some wired creature literally tower above the electrical plant as the arrived on the road noting the downed Rapidash. Shit. "Cobalt do what you can do douse the fires," he ordered as Razz jogged over toward and his Raphidash as he called out Wyn to use LIFE DEW. The psychic pokemon trusting the others to keep him covered as he released a blue aura like a ripple to heal Rapidash, Balder, and his own trainer from their injuries. The gallade did what he could to focus slightly more on the unnicorn pokemon as he was sure both trainers could deal with a bit of injury. [break][break]

While Gallade did that Metagross used PSYCHIC in order to grab a decent amount of water to put out any fires near them to relive the group from any problems with that. "Balder right?" pretty sure that was the name he read from the article of the ex-gym leader, "Any ideas on taking on that?" he gestures his head to the kiju made of wires it looks they would all have to deal with. After all they were a Gym leader maybe they'd have some good ideas.

TLDR:
  • MAGNET RISE (4/5)
  • Razz desides to NOPE right out of his situation as Metagross jumps back into the water with Razz and Zeraora on them.
  • Zeraora puts up a PROTECT once more in case they were attacked.
  • Metagross takes them over to the flaming grass where they use PSYCHIC to grab water and douse the fire.
  • Razz calls out his Gallade.
  • Gallade uses LIFE DEW to try and stable Rapidash, doing it's best to focus more on her even if his move would also help the trainers.

lost track of time & space


[attr=class,bulk]
Having narrowly avoided a direct flight into the explosion, Remiel and Zekrom watch from high above as the dust settles to reveal an underground facility where the power plant's upper levels once stood. The former only parts his eyes from the scene briefly to note two things: the gaping portal and the individuals flying into it, and the champion on the route below. He looks over his shoulder at his Gardevoir attendant.[break][break]

"Send him."[break][break]

| | |[break][break]

[break][break]

After its slamming of the Stakataka fighter, the mutant Druddigon busied itself with tearing apart Megalopolan and League trainers alike. That is, of course, until the subliminal TELEPATHY between itself and its master prompts it to drop the body in its claws, swerving its giant head towards a girl and her injured Togekiss instead. With a vicious growl in its throat, the shadowed dragon digs its taloned feet into the ground before taking a massive leap to reach the human. It descends in a roar that expels a terrible SHADOW FIRE from its maw, aiming to land on the Togekiss and crush it before attempting to scorch the girl, and anything that dared get in its way, to a pile of ashes.[break][break]

| | |
[break][break]

From a mass of exposed cables in the wrecked earth below, Philomera emerges with another that the royal ambassador has yet to recognize. When its tail slowly begins to hum, revving up potent power that causes its tail to thrum with an intense blue aura, Zekrom's intention becomes clear. A near murderous aura emanates from the fierce dragon. Just when he thinks Zekrom will descend in a nosedive and crush Philomera like a bug, however, the general summons her giant lab experiment: Xurxitree.[break][break]

Remiel sighs, the wind billowing the tail of his trench coat aside as he pulls a metal-plated glove out from its inner pocket and places it snug over his right hand. Embedded at the top of it, a Key Stone. It shines bright as the prince summons its power, inducing a response from the Mega Stone hanging from Agnés neck. "You musn't repeat the same mistakes from before," Remiel speaks to Zekrom, tightening his glove. "We will try and clear an opening for you. You take it from there."[break][break]

"Agnés— Mega Evolve!"
[break][break]

From a dazzling orb of prismatic color that manifests around them for a moment, the blue Gardevoir emerges in full dress, reaching her hands out to the giant Xurxitree before them. Remiel's plan had reached her mind moments before she transformed. So, utilizing a great boon of power suddenly at her disposal, Agnés attempts to use her PSYCHIC ability to tie the Xurxitree's thick cables into knots, snaking them around each other to try and immobilize it. And, possibly, even cause it to trip over itself.[break][break]

[break][break]

Seizing this opportunity for a well-awaited attack, the Zekrom that carries the pair spreads its arms wide and summons a multitude of rocks from the charred earth below. Its eyes, fierce and wild, glow intensely before it roars and sends the legendary ROCK SLIDE forward toward the Xurxitree and, more importantly, the frail little Megalopolan that rides it: Philomera.[break][break]

[break][break]

| | |
[break][break]

Meanwhile, Faust and Gofannon pick up the pace after the explosion ahead levels the land and the smoke begins to clear. Realizing the Duraludon is having trouble navigating the grassy route without trampling the bodies of the fallen, the Ampharos that rides it attempts to supplement it with a MAGNET RISE. The armored beast, in the meantime, receives an order to turn its cannon towards the Xurxitree afar and fire a powerful STEEL BEAM. It haphazardly delivers it, swinging it across a regiment of Megalopolan troops ahead before aiming it upwards towards the giant.[break][break]

[break][break]


[break]

notes:[break][break]

Shadowed Druddigon used Shadow Fire on ![break]
Shiny Gardevoir activated her Mega Evolution![break]
Shiny Mega Gardevoir used Psychic on Xurxitree![break]
Shiny Zekrom used Rock Slide on Xurxitree![break]
Ampharos used Magnet Rise![break]
Duraludon used Steel Beam on Xurxitree![break][break]

tl;dr: Druddigon hulk jumps towards , attempting to land on the injured Togekiss before attacking the champion with Shadow Fire. Remiel prompts Agnés to Mega Evolve, boosting the power of her Psychic abilities to try and tangle the Xurxitree's limb-wiring together and immobilize it. Zekrom takes this opportunity to barrage the Xurxitree, and its riders, with a tremendous Rock Slide. Ampharos attempts to usre Magnet Rise to grant itself and the Duraludon it rides the power to levitate. Duraludon fires a Steel Beam at the Xurxitree.[break][break]

— Remiel wears a gas mask and a black fisherman's sweater under a khaki coat with a pair of black jeans and boots. A pair of protective eyewear hangs around his neck, and he's got his contacts in today. The belt carrying his luxury balls are mostly obscured by his coat. The gun holstered to his hip is entirely obscured.[break][break]

tldr: shadow aggron slams into the shadow druddigon with iron tail. kommo-o follows up with outrage against the druddigon (kommo-o is empowered by dragon's dance). steelix uses smack down against the druddigon to finalize knocking it out of the air. tink, after receiving heals, uses some of its energy to deploy aura sphere to attack the druddigon. bailey withdraws tink after the healing.


[attr="class","bgtk-lyric2"]BUT THERE'S A WHISPER IN HER HEARTBEAT

[attr="class","bgtk-post"]

They emerged from underground.[break][break]

Aggron, Steelix, and Kommo-o turned their heads to the direction of the power plant, where the explosion had detonated and rattled the ground from where they had stood. Wakes of disturbed water thrashed against the coastline... and the three departed across the water, knowing that their trainer was at the other side.[break][break]


[break]
She was too hardy.[break][break]

Bailey felt her body thrash against the ground. The repeated impacts registered like white noise; each slam, each tousle, each impact lost in a collective pain that could not be pulled apart. Instead, her entire body seemed to shut down, accepting its fate in the wild contortion.[break][break]

She spun, finally dragging to a stop with her limbs weakly clutching the blades of grass.[break][break]

But where was Tink?[break][break]

Her head spun, ears ringing, as the Champion tried to raise her head; tired gaze able to register the weak, collapsed shape of her first pokemon as it struggled to breathe.[break][break]

Shock came cold as it came over her mind, wrecking her body with something frantic as her throat restricted. “Tink—” No. Not this one. If there was a God, not this one. Not her. Not Tink. Not Tink. Not Tink—[break][break]

It should have been her, not the Togekiss.[break][break]

Bailey crawled, then stumbled to her knees, as she scooped the pokemon into her arms.[break][break]

Blood flushed down the sides of her face, red and sticky as goblets dotted the white, marshmallow fluff that she had known since she was a child; she was choking, like hands wound tighter around her throat, constricting noise until only a single sob managed to break through.[break][break]

Then, the waterworks; eyes clouded by tears as she struggled to piece together what could be done to save the weak pokemon in her arms. Get help? This far out?[break][break]

She was bound to protect the region; she knew it would come at a price.[break][break]

And her pokemon were there to protect her.[break][break]

Ground rendered asunder, trembling from the splitting cables as the true threat revealed itself in all its magnificent height; Xerkitree, marching forward, could not draw Bailey's attention away from her gasping pokemon.[break][break]

“I'm here. I'm right here. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,” and the sobs wracked her chest, inflicting wounds that rattled deep enough to summon pain from old nightmares.[break][break]

What could she do?[break][break]

Nothing.[break][break]

All this time, and she could still do nothing, like all progress was lost and she was left to be worthless like the cadet she had once been; the loser, still unable to scrape by without someone there to pull her along. The anguish was so strong, it felt like it would finally be the last push.[break][break]

Her tears sizzled.[break][break]

Her chest inflamed, glowing with a magnitude of hatred and heat that threatened to overfill; the volatile ready to be engulfed by a flame of her own making, one that would glow so bright it'd render the eyes of those that had ever reached a hand to harm her—[break][break]

Steam spilled from her mouth, condensed like a breath to a winter landscape, betraying how something primal was ready to overtake her.[break][break]

Then, a hand. A voice.[break][break]

She looked up, catching a strange visage of a man donning attire from what felt like a different landscape; like, from a video game, and shock made her stumble from her hell-path that her mind would have pursued. to the rescue.[break][break]

“Thomas? Is that you? What the fuck are you wearing?”[break][break]

And that was when help came, that was when she would extend her gasping Togekiss, letting the magic of heal pulse take its hold. She feared it would not be sufficient in healing the fairy completely, but maybe it could be enough to stabilize the pokemon inside her pokeball.[break][break]

And more came. With their arrival, her sense of desolation leaving her.[break][break]


[break]

They crossed by the rubble, leaping from one jagged fragment to another.[break][break]

Aggron had been in the lead, driven by something poisonous that made him eager to reunite with his trainer; with her, there would be new orders, new challenges.[break][break]

New fights.[break][break]

It meant he was the first to let his eyes stray upward, catching sight of 's descending Druddigon; his eyes following the trajectory, following how the pokemon was trainer-less and bound for his own. A creation from these invaders, bound to attack?[break][break]

It does not matter. It was by fate that the remainder of Bailey's pokemon had been crossing the waters at the very same time it was.[break][break]

Alpha had never been as crafty as the others, but he knew when to detect hostility; knew when he could throw himself at what was coming next, because he had too much anger to vent that Bailey had never fully addressed.[break][break]

The inherited steel-type jumped with a similar force that had propelled the shadow dragon; except, something rang different with his power.[break][break]

It was not artificial. It was true. The first shadow pokemon was more than eager to showcase his strength.[break][break]

Hit me, his eyes challenged as he approached; his massive weight quick to try and curb the apex of his leap, eager to pull him back to the earth.[break][break]

So, he would have to reach with his tail, spinning at the hip to extend the full length of the limb to slam it into the side of the Druddigon; iron tail.[break][break]

With his fall, with the full effects of gravity bringing him back down, his head would turn just in time to catch something bronze as it leaped past him.[break][break]

Kommo-o. Kapow. The punching dragon had a clenched fist, teeth barred, as it accelerated with a hasty jump that had been empowered by his previous dragon dance; his clenched fist aimed to clock the Druddigon right in the side of the face with his outrage.[break][break]

Then, the final arrival.[break][break]

Steelix. Not quite able to leap like the others, he opted for the length of his tail as he swung it down with an axe-like curve; aiming for the dead center of the druddigon's back to fully inturrupt its momentum and jump with a single strike; smack down, to render its wings unable to gain lift and to drive it down to the poisoned waters that they were trying to navigate across.[break][break]


[break]

She eyed , not aware of the conduct of her pokemon behind her; she was far too focused on Tink's condition.[break][break]

“I know what my job is,” but her voice came without the usual aggression, if only because the man had his Togekiss come to her aide.[break][break]

Tink, on the other hand, was openly looking over the Champion's shoulder to see the Druddigon being assaulted in the background... and it would have groaned, if that would not have required a painful breath in its current condition.[break][break]

Like an older sister choosing to overlook the conduct of her wild brothers, Tink raised a weak wingtip over Bailey's shoulder, manifesting a weak, fading aura sphere that was launched with a hard snap.[break][break]

Bailey, who's hearing was still ringing from the prior explosion, missed this detail as she withdrew the fairy-type back to its capsule. “And Tink's a girl.”[break][break]

This wasn't the time.[break][break]

She picked herself up, looking at their newest problem and the black dragon that was preparing to engage with it.[break][break]

"I don't know what that fucking pokemon is," she directed to the Zekrom. "But, I don't fuckin' care."[break][break]

“I know what to do, but... I'm gonna have to get closer. I gotta wait for the perfect moment,” and she fished for her fifth capsule, feeling her heart race as she held it in her hand.[break][break]

Then, a thought.[break][break]

“Where's Kyle?”[break][break]
