TOWER TO SPACE

TO THE MOON!

[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/591796723928662048/828469720982355998/Magearnas_Song_-_Pokemon_Movie19_BGM.mp3[/player]

BRIEFLY, THE VOLCANION SEEMS PLEASED. the ego is stroked with the promise of some sculpture in its own likeness. but appealing to someone's narcissism fails when self-hatred burns within them. and like the steam that sizzles out from the creature's crustacean-red hide, one may see it seep out from time to time, for all armors break eventually.

"FINE."

as Kazimir Wynter pats its body, the volcanion remains still, as if to allow the modeling and restructuring to happen. the promise of performance and ring is met with its patient gaze— and the volcanion is anything but. as soon as it finds its chance, the volcanion erupts from the earth with a STEAM ERUPTION.

"I DO NOT HAVE TIME. I MUST FIND THE SOUL-HEART BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."

lifted high into the air by plumes of water, the volcanion redirects its arms. it fires STEAM ERUPTION several times at the tower, causing it to crack and splinter in places. debris scatters across the field violently. with one mean glare, the volcanion departs and leaves hot droplets and steam in its wake.

the tower doesn't seem to be doing well. the structure has been compromised. should you desire to, you must ensure that it does not fall, for it is about to topple!

INSTRUCTIONS
the volcanion has left.

Melody had seemingly managed to create a fun time for a bit with Volcanion, so much so she sent out her Smeargle "Hey smeargle can you paint a picture of this for us! I'd totally-" she said as Smeargle began to paint but before Smeargle could even begin to start to paint melody was cut off as soon as she and primarina moved out of the way of it's blasting range, he began to go to town! Melody's Pokémon freaked out and ran for cover as well. This damn thing had some fire power! Melody at this point wasn't surprised by this things ANGER ISSUES!! so she managed to stay a bit calm "Smeargle! Can you sketch that thing's move?" she asked as Smeargle nodded and began to copy it's move, if she was ever gonna handle this thing if it popped up again then she was going to handle it herself, she vowed to get her answers she wanted. Once it left Melody looked over at smeargle as it gave a nod to her that it managed to successfully copy the move. Good, she had a name for the move.. She looked over to the destroyed tower, a small and destroyed "no.." was all that managed to escape her lips as the cracks began to split and crack. "We need to get out of here! Now!" she said as she recalled all her pokemon but smeargle, "Quick use the move you just sketched! Blast away the debris!" she ordered as Smeargle grabbed it's tail and fired some blasts of water at the debri already falling. "Someone's gotta get michiko maeda ! Now!" Melody tossed out another pokeball, her dragapault coming out "Grab whoever cant get out in time draggy!" she called out as he was her fastest pokemon.

Time and tides wait for no man, and apparently the big steamy boy couldn't wait for them to finish up some minor restructuring! He didn't help, he barely modelled, and he blasted the tower on his way out, leaving the Heatran Gang to clean up the mess!

And now the tower was breaking apart.

Melody Miro had already sent her Dragapult to help those left behind, but this was far from a lost cause. They just needed some muscle.
"Kev!" Zac shouted, as he sent out his Steelix, "Wrap around the tower and hold it steady!" The Pokemon burst forth, its body a whip of metallic action. It coiled around the base of the tower, pulling the cracked chunks together.
Magma dribbled down through the cracks, sealing the breaches, but unless they stabilized the whole structure soon it wouldn't have a chance to set. The tower swayed, tilting a few degrees from straight.
"We need some more hands here!" Zac shouted, reaching for another Pokeball ."We have to hold this thing together!"

“More hands, you need? Michi and Matchan are heeeere!”

Jubilant and rosy-cheeked, Michiko Maeda swooped above on a lovely, conveniently-timed Charizard, clinging tight to its warm orange neck in front of angelo vestri . The Machamp riding a second Charizard leapt off with his four arms stretched above his head like a pouncing spider, thundering down to land heels-first in the middle of Zac’s yard.

”Let’s~helping out!” Michi cried as they soared past.

When the two dragons had appeared, along with Angelo, she’d almost fainted off the side of the tower in relief. Her hand had been shaking so badly she almost hadn’t been able to catch hold of the young man’s fingers, but with a boost from Matchan, she’d escaped the peak of the tower just in time to avoid the Volcanion’s second surge.

Matchan almost hadn’t been as lucky— the top of the tower slid where it had been fractured on a diagonal axis, causing the sleepy fighting-type to windmill in place before the second Charizard saved him.

It was such an impossible situation that Michi knew she would have laughed if someone had told her before her Jazzercize lesson. Michi had never flown on a Pokemon even once, and now she and Matchan were flying on two! Maybe next time, when she visited Galar, she could take a flying taxi for the first time now. How exciting!

“Thank you so much!” Michi repeated again and again to Angelo, tears of relief in her eyes. Despite the brave face she’d put on, it hadn’t been safe to climb the tower at all. Next time, she would be safer!

Matchan had never felt less motivated to get in the way of a moving, falling, superheated rock tower, but duty and hands-puns called, he supposed. <Maaaaaa,> he groaned, propelling himself up Zac Ramsay ‘s Steelix’s body with huge strides and taking a defensive stance on the serpent’s flattened gray head. He slammed all four palms into the base of the tower, muscles flexing and straining as he fought to push back against the threatening descent.

What they really needed was someone to pull from the other side.

"It didn't eat my brownies...."

It was almost forlorn as Chu-e tossed out a few pokemon of his own. A Slowking, Galarian Rapidash, Gardevoir, Hattrene, and, most importantly, an Onix of all things. Chu-e snapped and pointed to the tower where the struggle was happening to keep it intact. "Help keep the ugly art standing!"

The Onix moved to mirror it's evolved brother, coiling around the tower in the opposite direction to help keep it stabilized. His other pokemon, however, all put their Psychic powers to use, eyes glowing as they each tugged on the tower to help keep it steady. They could only go for so long and it was more a temporary solution than anything; if no one properly repaired it, the tower would continue to crumble as it had been before.

"That thing was an asshole." Hands on his hips, Chu-e spoke aloud to whoever happened to be in earshot.

Unfortunately, his attempt to gather information—didn’t go too well. The same message of no data available appeared on the screen of his PokéGear as he sighed and lowered his arm.

Shit, what the hell was going on? Were they—were they communicating with it?! how on earth did they manage to—

What?

Soul-heart? What the hell is that? he thought before the angery red-and-blue pipe-beast blasted away, quite literally, looking for whatever that was. However, the structural integrity of the entire strange… objet d’art was tilting precariously to one side.

“Would it help if we tried to stabilize it by adding more magma to it on the weaker side?” he said from out of nowhere, wondering if his suggestion was actually fucking sound. Either way, it was bananas how everything went from zero to eleven so quickly, so soon.

He knew that majority of his team were mostly Flying-types; with his Salamence only knowing Flamethrower out of the entire bunch. Whoops.

as the volcanion goes up flying into the air kazimir is knocked off and lands face first into the dirt with a yelp. "ow...that was dickish..." he moaned as he rubbed his face clean of dirt only to see the tower suddenly fracturing all around and toppling over. people were already busy trying to keep it from falling over but there was only so much they could do on their own and with pure muscle as well. what they needed was some kind of support structure to try and catch it.
[break][break]
"pompeii! hachiko! keep it from falling over, give us some ballast or something!" on his orders both the heatran and lycanroc let out roars and howls as spires of stone edges burst from the ground and grew to slam into the side of the toppling tower to keep it balanced and from falling over with more spires building onto them to try and create the framework of something to keep it together. "that might hold it a little better zac, but i don't think its gonna still look like a tower at the end of this!" he called out to Zac Ramsay.
[break][break]
seriously from where kazimir stood it almost looked like some kind of ramp aiming towards the sky instead of a straight up tower.

"Help keep the ugly art standing!" Called Chu-e Choi , as he hurled a half-dozen Pokemon at the problem. “Would it help if we tried to stabilize it by adding more magma to it on the weaker side?” Alexei Ivanov asked, a moment too late, as the tower cracked down one side. The pressure had finally become too much for the foundations. The structure tilted wildly, and Kazimir Wynter moved into action. "Pompeii! Hachiko! Keep it from falling over, give us some ballast or something!" shouted Kazimir, and all at once Zac saw his dream of a glorious tower to space shatter like so much un-reinforced magma. It was heartbreaking, but the fight itself was far from over. We can still savage this, right?
The tower slumped Northward, tilting towards Mt Chimney like a giant finger pointing the way to the peak. Kazimir barked an order to his Pokemon, and the ground under the tower ruptured with thick stone spikes. The stone speared into the leaning tower, slowing its fall. "That might hold it a little better zac, but i don't think its gonna still look like a tower at the end of this!"
"No problem mate," Zac said, his grin returning, "I've got another idea. Let's just stop if from falling for now, ay?"
Zagrea toppled off the tower, hitting the ground with a splash of magma and loose soil. She plodded underneath the structure, and let out an eruption of magma, fountaining burning, chunky goop at the underside of the 'ramp'. "Keep it up Zag!" Zac called, as Kev the Steelix moved around underneath the leaning structure. michiko maeda's Matchan was still on his back, and the pair pushed up with an iron head and two pairs of powerful arms, keeping the weight of the tower from crushing the cooling supports.
"It may not be a tower to space, but it might just be a ramp to the stars."

He didn’t want to leave the tower, which was now crumbling and literally falling—off to one side.

Despite not having enough magma, there was at least something he could do to help, right? Right?

Two flashes of red light revealed his Salamence and his Aerodactyl. Among his companions, they were the only ones that knew how to use Rock Slide. Seeing the spikes of rock shooting out from the ground gave him an idea.

“Go stabilize the foundations!” he said to the two, pointing where the other Pokémon were congregating. The two then flew off, getting as close to the now-tilting ‘tower’ as possible that ended up looking something closer to a… ramp, if he was going to look at it strictly.

The two then unleashed a combined effort of Rock Slide, to at least leverage and help stabilize the foundations of the tower, away from where he thought he spotted a Machamp holding a section up.

At least… it wasn’t looking as rickety as it did earlier, right? Right?

As long as the rocks were packed tightly together.

                          TAGGING Zac Ramsay

As the tower-now-turned-ramp was starting to be stabilized kazimir switched out his lycanroc with a blastoise as watching all the "construction" going on around him gave him an idea. "might as well make sure it doesn't slide off then, buccaneer, pompeii, noctis, go up to where we lifted it up and do some welding ok?! make sure that thing doesn't ever get a chance to slide away from us!" his pokemon nodded in response and got to work as they approached the ramp.

with a bellow heatran spewed out molten magma with his MAGMA STORM encasing the points where the STONE EDGE collided with the tower and wrapped them up in boiling rock. then the blastoise deployed his cannons and aimed a HYDRO PUMP at the laval, cooling it down and turning it into solid rock that should hold their new creation nicely. as a finishing touch the corviknight went up to help with the cooling process as he flapped his wings to create a HURRICANE to make sure that they didn't have to wait long for their little welding project to finish up.

down on the ground kazimir gave a thumbs up to Zac Ramsay, "that outta hold us for a good while. no thanks to that weird steam monster. didn't think 'everyone's a critic' included pokemon, but sheesh some critics are harsh yeah?" as he watched his pokemon work he thought back to what it was talking about trying to figure out how and why it was so pissed off at them. then he remembered something weird. or rather familiar, a term he's heard once or twice in old stories back from galar. "hey zac, you ever heard of a Soul Heart before? I know i heard that beast talking about it and i never figured it was a fan of old knights tales."

"Soul heart?" Zac asked Kazimir Wynter , as the tower shifted slightly on its new, horizontal foundations. "It sounds a little familiar, but if it's from knight's tales it's probably something I read in college. I'll have to go check my textbooks. Maybe I'll give Mickey a call and see what he knows."
With the wealth of rock spikes supporting the tower, it settled. Cradled by jagged spears of stone and aiming straight at the peak of Mount Chimney, they had turned a relatively safe aerial construction into Hoenn's most extreme stunt ramp. "Wait until skyler dross hears about this! I mean, it's about as far from ice sliding as you're likely to get, but it's a step up for the extreme sports enthusiasts!"
Zac rubbed his chin, surveying the ramp. "We need a name for it though. Any suggestions?"

"Garo." Doug said, reaching up to grasp his hat and pulling it off his head. Inside, a gem crackled and shone with primal force.

Doug's Orbeetle turned its gaze towards him, its eyes shining brightly as the energy merged with a gem encrusted within its wing Chitin's, surrounding it swiftly until it seemingly trapped it inside a black sphere, pulsing with power.

Mega Evolution

Orbeetle mega evolves to...

Mega Orbeetle

The sphere shattered to reveal the Orbeetle's new form, the carapace intended to house its wings and brain now having grown to grotesque size.

As this process went on, Doug approached Zac Ramsay, his expression conflicted. He didn't enjoy being the wet towel here. The man was having a conversation regarding some 'Soul Heart' or whatever with Kazimir; a term thrown around by their ill-tempered improvised 'patron' before blasting their tower again.

Doug didn't really care about it, so he simply reached up to grasp the sleeve of Zac's Golden Explorer's Jacket, giving it a tug.

"Uh. Zac." He said in a low whisper.

Behind him, the very atmosphere seemed to shift as the Mega Orbeetle's power surged.

G-MAX GRAVITAS

The force of gravity in the entire area shifted. The tower's weight became nothing, yet it did not move, almost as if paused in place. Without the fundamental force being exerted upon it, it's compromised structure no longer threatened to collapse, remaining in place as if frozen in time.

"We can't continue without dealing with that guy." Doug said bluntly, crossing his arms over his chest, his gaze shifting in the direction the monster had disappeared to, brow furrowed. "It left thinking it screwed with our tower, but if it sees it still standing later, it'll come back."

"I've... got an idea." He said. "And I'll need your big guys."

“Mickey, sweetie! Do you know Soul Heart?”

Michi was standing close enough nearby Kazimir Wynter and Zac Ramsay to hear their conversation, and she was already calling her husband before the redhead had mentioned his name aloud. She held her smartphone at arms' length, taking up most of the screen as she waved to the mustached man who'd just appeared there.

Michaeles Theodoropolis, professor and Michi's husband, looked like he'd just rolled out of bed. It seemed to be night already in Galar. He yawned.

"Hmm? Is that one of your foreign dramas?"

"No, it is maybe a folklore story. Do you know it? Perhaps in an ancient ruin there were pictures of the Soul Heart and a..." she trailed off, trying in vain to make an O shape with only one arm. "A round Pokemon?"

"Hmm. Nothing like that, honey, sorry to disappoint. There aren't nearly as many convenient hieroglyphs of ancient secrets in ruins as people think," Mickey said, sounding amused.

Michi seemed to deflate and her husband quickly amended himself. "But anyway.. hmm. Well, a few Galarian texts suggest that certain ancients were looking for technology that could trap the human soul. It was barbaric, in a way," the professor seemed to brighten as he went on, "We should be glad they never succeeded, even if it was all theoretical. It's unclear what the intention was-- perhaps a means of acquiring immortality. That's quite common."

The camera was jogged suddenly as John Sullivan 's mega-evolving Orbeetle began affecting the local gravity. Michi propped up her phone with both hands to keep listening to her husband speculate. "The Galarians were quite advanced technologically for that era, so it could even have been as a clean power source for machinery. I don't know if any of that helps. What're you up to, anyway?"

"Oh, I am in Lavaridge today! I am visiting Zac after my fitness lesson," Michi said brightly, turning the camera towards the gym leader. She inadvertently flashed Mickey an image of the Orbeetle, the spike-encrusted lava ramp crawling with Heatran, and a full view of Kazimir's chest. "Say hello, everyone!"

"Hi Zac, and... friends! I trust my wife's not giving you any trouble!" Mickey said, trying not to sound alarmed. In the background, Matchan stomped by, carrying his boom box still playing loud reggae music. "...Is that my Machamp?"

"He is very helpful," Michi reassured him. "We rode Charizard together! Anyway," she said as the teenager began to imply the existence of some amorphous plan. Personally, Michi didn't think the Pokemon would come back again. "I have to go! I will call you later, thank you for your help! Love you love you love you love you--"

Many many kisses later, Michi and Matchan were ready to go home!

“Woah. Woah. Don't worry. It’s fine,” hands are raised, palms flat, in front of him as the older woman repeats her expressions of gratitude with doe-like eyes. Behind him, his pair of Charizard swoop into the skies to help stabilise the leaning tower, leaving Angelo to wave off michiko maeda with a smile before she could really burst into tears. She’s definitely the kind of person who, if you made cry, you’d end up on her doorstep the next morning, tying to win her forgiveness with a batch of cheap store-bought blueberry muffins. “It was fun though, right? An adventure to tell your friends later. Feel free to embellish my heroics a little.” [break][break]

Even though Angelo’s attention is divided between a piercing alert from the confines of his jacket pocket, phone beeping with the assigned work jingle, the mysterious pokemon’s words do not go unnoticed. His ears keen, perked intently, at its impatient declaration to find a Soul-Heart. Concluded with an ominous hint of a race against time… [break][break]

A Soul-Heart. Huh, interesting. It almost sounded like… [break][break]

“Hey, Zac. I’ve got to shoot… But I’ll leave these two with you. Feel free to put ‘em to work, I’ll swing by later to pick them up.” Angelo says to Zac Ramsay , throwing a thumb in his Charizard’s direction in the skies. Looks like his lunchbreak was over. “You know how it is. Abrazon doesn't sleep.” [break][break]

After getting the location of where his bike had been safely moved from Alexei Ivanov - thanking him with a genuine smile and a pat on the shoulder, as well as a promise to visit the Fortree Sanctuary soon - Angelo bids his farewell to everyone still present. He grabs a handful of baked goods at random (the ones that remained, anyway) on his way out with a cheshire wide smile, whistling for Orion to follow. “See ya, everyone!” [break][break]

[break][break]

“Did you know Betty just missed out on her family reunion?” Angelo smiles into his phone, one hand on the handlebars and a foot planted on the ground; packages from the local poke mart secured tight on the back. [break][break]

A pause. A chuckle. “Yeah, sure, sunshine... Anyway, want to let me talk for five seconds? While I was there, something came up I thought you’d…” He stops mid-sentence, blue eyes rolling, even though the recipient couldn’t see his fondly amused expression Nor the quickly materialising smirk. “You know what. Maybe I won’t tell you about it. Bet I could afford a real nice solo-trip with the reward money...”[break][break]

He says goodbye to skyler dross soon after, promising to share the details of a rare treasure called the Soul-heart, uttered by a mysterious volcanic titan later that night... at least, for the right price.

                          TAGGING Zac Ramsay

as the former tower now sets itself up as a ramp kazimir overhears the conversation going on with michiko maeda and her husband. talk about the so called soul heart that was mentioned and talk about ancient galarian technologies. "huh, must have forgot about that in history class. i just remembered an old story i used to hear where a hydregion held the heart of a princess hostage. usually those kind of stories have an actual princess kidnapped. maybe that's where the inspiration for it came from?" he would need to look it up further himself. when he heard mention of a familiar name the hairs on the back of his neck shot up.

"oh you know skyler dross zac? well i can for sure tell you if you try to tell her to try and use that ramp she'll do it. she's crazy like that. love her for it really." they would probably have to try and tie her down from actually using it as a ramp towards space.

however the fun an games were slowly brought down by John Sullivan's talk about the volcanion and hating their structure. to which kazimir wrapped an arm around his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. "hey if he really hated it he could have brought the whole thing down. but i think we managed to convince him that its not that big of a deal don't you think? so relax a little. if he comes back then i'll just lasso him up real good." with that declaration he raised an arm up to flex his bicep to show that he would have the strength to pull it off.
