❝You?! I've missed you for far too long.❞

The DARK PULSE and SWIFT from Kazimir’s Pokemon meet their mark. The attacks are like darts against a target, piercing, damaging, but unimpactful against a resilient board. Not because Zygarde is durable beyond measure but because it’s berserk rage makes it impossible to read just how injured the Pokemon is.

Zygarde howls as the pelting attack pushes it back against a wall, scampering its long, slender legs in a desperate kick to steady itself. It needs decent footing in order to launch itself in retaliation. As it rises, it shoots an intimidating GLARE at both the Shadow Ninetales and the Minior, looking to PARALYZE them in place.

“Elysia?”

Mucked by his powers, Fernando’s pull into the afterlife brings out the name of his first love. A wife, almost, tucked away well out of reach. He mistakes her silhouette for her before snapping to. He blinks, groaning as he cranes his neck upwards.

“Katherine,” he corrects, roused from his slumber and thrust into a precarious situation. It doesn’t take more than a moment from him to recognize things have gone off the rail—what, how, to what extent? He still doesn’t know. But this is clearly not according to plan.

“Fuck.”

He disregards her advice in a forceful push to roll over. It’s a half attempt to sit up but he flounders under the lack of response from his muscles.

Unaware, he earns the consolation prize of no longer spewing out his MIND-ALTERING MIST. Those affected will live out the rest of its duration, anywhere from another five minutes to a good half-an-hour.

“Katherine, we have to—” He never gets to finish that sentence. An eruption of thick roots cuts him off, coiling around his body in a protective casket. Ignorant to the unfolding chaos, unconscious during Zac’s proclamation, the Tapu Avatar views the sudden attack as nothing short of coffin.

And yet this coffin protects him from the poison spewed by Dunsparce’s VENOMOUS HEAVEN-BUSTER. Remnants of the attack splash over the wooden branches, sizzling as the acid burns through like a hot knife through butter. It’s enough for him to start prying some of it off as he struggle to break free.

Until Fernando comes to, Tapu Fini spends its efforts in mending his internal organs with its HEALING PULSE. This leaves the island deity exposed and vulnerable. Zac’s blessings is able to overpower the MISTY TERRAIN, his rage more pronounced than Tapu Fini’s distracted state of healing.

Which makes it an easy target for Darkrai’s DARK PULSE.

A corkscrew of sinister rays drill straight into the Pokemon’s chest. Caught by surprise, the Tapu Fini is subjected to the attack for several seconds before it can reclines back into its shell. Withdrawn, it endures, livid as it expels a MISTY SURGE to take back the terrain.

Various plants have sprouted from cracks that never existed. This vegetation sprawls out across the room due to Zac’s GRASSY TERRAIN. The noxious fumes of Tapu Fini’s MISTY TERRAIN settle on top of it, coating it like a fog machine, coming together as the stalks of weeds bloom into fae flowers.

But make no mistake, this display of beauty is pure coincidence. There is nothing short of primal rage festering within Tapu Fini’s shell. It snaps back open in a show of lightning as NATURE’S MADNESS reeks from the sudden stretch of new life. It crackles with a fury hungry to take just as much as it has bestowed.

The smoke from the still burning fire starts to get overwhelmed by the pink dust. While Tapu Fini attack rips from the power of nature around them, its own power starts to manifest in preparation of a true strike. Even Darkrai’s HAZE will start to succumb to the wisp of human shaped pinkettes.

Meanwhile, Fernando’s Smeargle remains in the cramp ruination of a cabinet closer toward the entrance. The earlier command to hide had helped mitigate the impact of the blast but the Pokemon is still rattled as its tossed within the confines of the small space. Its KING’S SHIELD earlier is the only thing that holds the cabinet together when layers of the roof crumbles, keeping it safe as it parts the cabinet door open to peek outside.

It remains inside, observing the situation unfold, far enough away that it’s only mildly exposed to the MIND-ALTERING MIST. While it still has a string of its sanity in check, it keeps watch, hand raised for an opportune SNIPE SHOT.

When Chu-e peeks over the exposed roof, the Smeargle sees him through the smoke. It doesn’t know whether he’s friend or foe, blissfully ignorant as the Pokemon only seeks a way out of being trapped in the middle of the battlefield. While the Underboss aims his shot, the Smeargle points its tail at him, casting a SPOTLIGHT that pulls everyone’s attention onto him.

Anyone looking to pick a fight will find themselves drawn to Chu-e. Whether it be Fernando’s influence, or the fact that Chu-e seems to have a punchable face, matters not. The end result is the same.

There’s a new unified objective: beat his ass.

notes:

- zygarde is hit by DARK PULSE and SWIFT.
- uses GLARE to PARALYZE kazimir's pokemon.

- in a daze, fernando mistakes katherine for his wife.
- stops spewing the MIND-ALTERING MIST.
- those affected will wear off in 5-30 min.
- is suddenly wrapped up in a the cocoon.
- tries to break out when the poison burns through.

- tapu fini is hit by darkrai.
- spits up more MISTY TERRAIN in rage.
- MISTY TERRAIN and GRASSY TERRAIN fuse.
- uses NATURE'S MADNESS on darkrai
- starts to charge up its power.
- bits of the MISTY TERRAIN start to look like humans.

- smeargle has been hidden away in a cabinet.
- used KING'S SHIELD last post to survive.

namepending - male - technician - shadowball / roost / hypnosis / steel roller / sketch / sketch / sketch

From Chu-e's explosion to Lulu's breakdown and even Zac's Z-move - Katherine can only think to herself that this was an absolute shitshow.

Katherine's eyes can't help but flit from the injured Fernando to her battling Aegislash and the rest of the nearby combatants. There's so much going on— too much, even. The mist itself only worsened her status, causing more confusion to cloud her mind and judgment. Normally, she's the only one with the hands behind the wheel. Now, however, it felt like she had to wrestle another person inside her.

She witnesses the trade of blows between Chu-e Choi 's Lopunny and her own Aegislash, who immediately shifts to its shield form without utilizing a move. Its shadow attributes came in handy now, as the mega-evolved bunny would find herself successful in landing her attack - but at the cost of her own health. Caliburn's shield proves to be lethal just as much as its sword, almost as if covered by spikes.

Physical attacks against the pokemon will result in reflected damage.

But her attention remains on her pokemon for only a snippet of time, and then, Fernando stirs awakes and draws her attention. "Fernando? Can you hear me? Are you— are you okay?" He was most certainly alive, so that was a start.

“Katherine, we have to—”

Before he's able to finish his sentence, the cocoon wraps around him, enshrouding him with a protective barrier that also separates the two of them. However, despite Zac's best intentions, Kat is unaware of the nature of this move. She isn't certain if this was meant to bury Fernando in the ground or nurse him back to health, which only freaks her out more.

Shit, shit, shit.

"Fernando?!"

"... Fernando!"

Darkrai's DARK PULSE lands true and meets Tapu Fini without issue, considering the fact that the Legendary was preoccupied with healing its avatar. No. She won't have any of this. Not anymore.

"I—"

Giratina. It had all the answers she needed.

For the briefest of moments, a deafening silence spreads across the battlefield despite the overwhelming Chaos, then, Katherine finally allows her god's power to surge through her. Unlike Fernando's mist, it comes without a warning. This is Katherine's domain. If the world really was hers to control and manipulate, then only with the aid of Giratina's distorted realm such ambitions will flourish.

"... Enough!"

Both FERNANDO SILPH and Zac Ramsay will find this particular loss of gravity and balance familiar. Within the immediate area around Katherine, gravity loosens for everyone except for her. They may find themselves floating or unable to stick to the ground. Debris, too, will no longer be a concern as the woman instead wills them to move away, shooting them out of the distorted bubble.

And with that out of the way, she finally directs her gaze back to Chu-e Choi 's Lopunny. With her hand curling into a fist, Katherine manipulates gravity, coercing it into keeping the mega-evolved pokemon pinned to her spot - which grants her Aegislash the ability to act mercilessly. Its stance changes once more, and in its blade form, it seeks to plunge itself inside the pokemon, impaling its aggressor then and there. The glow of the AERIAL ACE still coats the blade, increasing its sharpness all for the purpose of delivering a lethal blow.

They've forced her hand.

They didn't understand who they chose to act against.

If they were willing to kill, then so was she.

And she's not close to being finished just yet. No, not when Chu-e was still flinging attacks and commanding his pokemon so easily all while jeopardizing the lives of everyone else. By all accounts, she'd have respected it if he hadn't committed the scene of putting her and Fernando in harm's way as well.

Her eyes dart to the culprit, pinning him down both with her stare and amplified gravity. Roof or not, Katherine seeks to bring Chu-e back to earth - through the still collapsing, fragile building or even through a hole in the ceiling. The faster he's brought down to face her, the better.

She was, by all accounts, going to kill him if no one was to intervene. Luckily, there's ample time for his Gardevior to contest the pull on her trainer's body with some sort of a PSYCHIC ability.

tl;dr

- caliburn changes to its shield form without using a move, thanks to its shadow ability. lopunny manages to land her strike, but finds herself hurt by attacking its shield! physical attacks vs aegislash have a portion of the damage reflected back.
- kat talks to fern for a bit before the cocoon wraps around him. then, darkrai attacks, and she loses it. too much chaos. too many attacks, and too much to handle all at once.
- projects the distortion world around herself - or at least a portion of it. the physics are altered now (something both fern and zac can recognize!). no one can escape or enter this barrier atm.
- manipulates gravity to keep lopunny pinned down / slowed harshly as caliburn changes form again before attempting to impale her with an aerial ace.
- afterwards, she looks towards chu-e and bends gravity once more, intent on bringing him down from the roof (through the building or a hole in the ceiling). his gardevoir can more than likely contest the pull with her own abilities.
- everyone (other than chu-e and his lopunny) find that gravity is LESS HARSH. they are able to float like they're in space and would need to hold onto something in order to stay on the ground.

As pink petals sparkled up at the edges of grass, tendrils of shadow died at each attempt to strangle a new blossom. They permeated like wildflowers, the guardian deities gradually taking back control of the floor as they struggled amongst themselves for dominance of the TERRAIN. Then, Giratina, through the chosen body of its own, seemed to remove the relevance of the floor altogether.

Bodies floated about, alive or otherwise, but the dark legendary’s focus was unbroken; a cold, purple bullet through the heart of the queen of death. Tapu Fini retaliated, its NATURE’S MADNESS sending even more energy out into the floor; glowing, sparkling, blotting out the darkness. It made impact with great force, sending Darkrai back into it own remaining black HAZE.

It was injured heavily—however, it was valorous. Its form took to shadows, reappearing from another angle, and higher up to send another DARK PULSE for its one, and only target. The sting of Dunsparce’s VENOMOUS HEAVEN-BUSTER rained down through the building’s new asshole, burning at its ethereal black robes and eliciting a growl of anger. A deep, ominous glow began to overtake its hovering figure.

Meanwhile, outside, the legendary’s voice still echoed in Lulu’s head. She’d never heard it before. Previously, she’d been unsure if it could talk. There was little opportunity to remain on one thought in a swirling mental tornado.

She sputtered, gasped, choked raggedly. An utter mess, in every way possible, zig-zagging and eventually falling to her knees. Blood dripped off her chin. “Fu—fuck.. fuck…”

Darkrai’s voice was not the only one in her head.

’Break her apart at the seams!’ – the words of FERNANDO SILPH , a lover, commanding her destruction at the hands of Tapu Fini.

’Be careful with Silph.’ – the words of her brother, Cillian Quinn , during the meeting.

"Fuck- Flint!" – the words of her boss, reality, barely piercing through. Chu-e Choi , whose orders she had blatantly disobeyed—evidence literally all over her.

“Choi—”

However, as she choked out the name, the underboss disappeared, up to the roof, leaving her behind with the grunt. Her world spun.

“Fuck… fuck…” Her chest heaved, and she slouched, clutching her hand as tears welled from an overwhelming variety of pain and confusion. Her stare redirected on Ezra Zeke from the ground. She shook. Her eyes were wild, rabid. Something had snapped. This was not the same woman he had seen before.

A finger not pointing quite the right direction came up to point at him… sort of. “Fuck you...” The words hissed. It wasn’t for anything he’d done in particular, but rather the mere fact he’d been witness to such a moment of weakness.

As bullets echoed in her mind, she caught the stare of an unfriendly god; a peeping tom looking into her soul and bastardizing her existence. Her adrenaline soared, and a scream ripped from her throat as the first of the puzzle pieces began to fit together. The flipside of Tapu Fini’s insert was unleashed.

Fuck Chu-e Choi . Fuck FERNANDO SILPH . Fuck this guy in front of her. Fuck everyone. The building was on borrowed time, and she needed something still from its flaming belly.

The voice that came next dropped a couple of semitones and expanded in volume and ferocity, as though a different personality had suddenly taken over. “Where the FUCK IS IT?” Her eyes flashed a shade lighter, especially startling against her blood-painted face.

The original objective was now the only thing that mattered. When all else was a loss, she would fall back on her research. She needed this. This was primal. The demon of Lulu Flint turned and began to make her way around the perimeter with feverish determination. “HELP ME FIND IT, GRUNT.”

She had no idea where they were going, but they were going. Now. Unless, he decided to listen to Chu-e Choi —or, maybe he’d looked up, and been possessed by the urge to drag the man down himself.

Either way, Lulu was already too afflicted. Barely seeing, herself, through blood, confusion, panic, raging flashbacks… she stumbled, directionless but determined.

And eventually, she came upon her Gardevoir, DREAM EATER draining Dave to a husk, who was doing strange things with his mouth as he drowned in his deepest phobia. Far in the reaches of his mind, he choked, seeing his death as he struggled for an eternity to remove too big a glob of peanut butter from the roof of his mouth.

“YOU.” The blood-soaked woman commanded, and she gestured for her pokemon to go back inside. “FIND IT. FIND IT AND BRING IT TO ME, NOW.” The Gardevoir’s potential death was of no concern to her.

However, just as she was leaving her victim, the Gardevoir looked up to see the SPOTLIGHT on Chu-e Choi . She TELEPORTED to the building—only, it was towards him, and not where she’d previously intended to look for the target. Wherever he ended up, so would she; intent on inflicting harm.

Only one pokemon then remained with Lulu, still tucked away in its ball. Waiting.

Chu-e Choi Ezra Zeke Katherine Fairburne
Zac Ramsay Kazimir Wynter FERNANDO SILPH

TLDR
* darkrai's HAZE is overcome by both GRASSY & MISTY TERRAIN & SURGE
* darkrai disappears briefly, reappears overhead and off to side, shoots another DARK PULSE at tapu fini
* locates gardevoir using DREAM EATER on dave/andrew
* lulu cracks and barks orders at ezra and gardevoir to help her find 'it'
* gardevoir is affected by smeargle's SPOTLIGHT and TELEPORTS after Chu-e Choi to 'beat his ass'

His hands slashed by the shards of Kazimir Wynter 's broken helmet, and eyes full of soot, Zac was in a world of pain. His avatar power did nothing to dampen the sting of his wounds, and the healing was far from instantaneous. Blinded, he fell to the ground as shouts and blasts rang out through the workshop. Across the room, Kibou took off, and Zac's skin sizzled with the poisonous rain, adding a layer of constant, thudding pain to the ragged pricks of his many cuts.
    "I need to protect Fernando," Zac coughed, spitting up black, sooty phlegm. He breathed in, hard, and the living wood around him warped and shriveled as the life was sucked back out of it. Life and death were a cycle to Tapu Bulu, and death had come again.
    Fernando is safe now, wrapped in the vines. Zac thought, rubbing at his streaming eyes. I can't protect him like this. I need backup. BOOM! Zac thumped the floor with one clenched fist, blindly pounding out The Signal. Three for ready, four for aim, five for fire. BOOM! He smashed again, each blow carrying through into the ground below the workshop, where his help was waiting. BOOM!
    Zac had already given the 'ready' signal before, and the shuddering under the shop increased as his backup prepared for attack. BOOM! The shuddering stopped, and Zac raised his fist to signal the attack-
Then, Katherine Fairburne happened. The feeling of the distortion world was familiar. Zac had relived those otherworldly minutes a thousand times. In lost dreams, sharp reflections, and every time he re-watched the ruined footage of his trip into Giratina's void. However, familiarity breeds contempt. As Zac floated upwards, blind, and coughing, and furious, he swung wildly, trying to knock against the floor once more. His clenched fist swung through the air, too far from the ground to make contact. "No!" he wheezed. Zac kicked out, frantic, and hit nothing but dust. He clawed at the air, reached out for something, any possible purchase in this floating nightmare, and his hands closed around something cold.
It's glass. A glass pipe! Zac recognized the shape and weight in an instant. He wasn't a regular of this establishment, but the heft and length of the CloudChaser-MX were iconic. Anyone would recognize such a marvel of craftsmanship. And anyone would be shocked when Zac, in his addled and bloodthirsty state of mind, hurled the two-foot long 'Green Flute' at the floor without a second thought. CRASH!
The CloudChaser-MX was only two feet of glass. But its destruction heralded 30 feet of iron and fury. Kev the Steelix burrowed upwards through rock, soil and foundation, smashing through each layer like a vertical freight train. He erupted from below the shack, taking out half the floor and obliterating the hearth. And with it, the orb.
     Protect Fernando

The fires of creation were unleashed in a cataclysm of searing light. Burning destruction tore through the workshop, and Zac was smacked by the blast wave, along with a hefty chunk of helpful flooring that clobbered him from below and sent him flying.
The lack of a roof was a mild blessing.
Several seconds of unconscious flight later the burning bundle of muscle and red hair thudded down somewhere in the back yard, his Golden Explorer's Jacket melted to his body.

-Zac bangs on the ground to summon backup
-Is interrupted by Giratina's power levitating him
-Hurls a flute at the ground to signal the attack
-Steelix emerges, destroying the hearth and the orb
-Massive fiery explosion rips apart the workshop just as Chu'e 'saves' Zac by hitting him with a chunk of floor
-The explosions hits everyone, and the levitating Zac is thrown into the backyard, unconscious and badly burnt

                           TAGGING Zac Ramsay FERNANDO SILPH Chu-e Choi Lulu Flint Katherine Fairburne

the giant known as Zac Ramsay rolls off of pokkegner and gives the hero some breathing room as he shoots right up into a sitting position and frantically removes his helmet. blonde hair fluffs out as blue eyes scan over the man with an apologetic stare, "sorry man, didn't want to be a poke pancake." his apologies seemed to fall on deaf ears as zac only said one thing; 

"i need to protect fernando,"

the name was familiar and the image of the gym leader he once fought against reentered his mind as he looked over and saw the man get encased in a cocoon of brambles. why was he here? was he being attacked by whoever attacked this workshop? was it team rocket?

these questions would be thrown up into the air along with zac and kazimir as sudden weightlessness overtook the room. bodies and wreckage began to float and kazimir did his best to try and reach for the ground that his feet missed. as he struggled he could see it, a woman who didn't seem affected by the change in gravity standing amongst the chaos. if he had to hazard a guess it was some kind of avatar power, one that wasn't helping the situation. "sorry again zac."

a second apology was given as kaz grabbed the remains of his busted helmet and brought his feet up to kick off against zac's hulking form, using him like a springboard to push himself towards Katherine Fairburne as he held up his helmet above his head. "chill out!" he screamed as he aimed to slam the helmet onto her head to break her out of whatever trance she was in. 

that's when everything started to spin and burn.

a steelix popped out of the ground, startling his minior and ninetales enough to be struck by the GAZE  of FERNANDO SILPH's zygarde rendering them paralyzed in a hint of fear as the explosion consumed the entire workshop. people and pokemon were sent flying everywhere and the walls of the workshop gave way and started to collapse. his ninetales being flung into one and landing on the remains of whatever orb the steelix broke and felt sharp pain and heat travel up its foot as it let out a howl only to be silenced by the shelves above falling on top of it.

kazimir and his minior weren't so lucky, unfortunately for them they were blasting off again.

or so it seemed, as the two flew into the air the shell around the minior cracked until its SHIELDS WERE BROUGHT DOWN and the glowing little meteorite within was free from its cage. it could see that it and its trainer were about to hit solid ground so in an act of quick thinking it used its PSYCHIC powers to catch kazimir and float the two of them towards the backyard where zac had landed. however the minior felt spasms course through its body thanks to its PARALYSIS and dropped kazimir a few inches above zac, the blonde using the redhead to break his fall while the little meteorite crashed into the ground.

"ow...zac...hey...hey man you okay?" the hero groaned as he rubbed his temple and noticed what was under him. he gave the man a little shake only to get no response from him, and then another shake, and another. and another. "hey...hey wake-ah!" the heat of his jacket finally registered in his head and body and kaz could notice that the man's clothes were practically melting onto him.

the blonde cursed under his breath as he got to work trying to tear off the jacket off of zac and prop the man up into sitting up with as much strength kazimir could muster. dude was heavy, but these pokkenger muscles just weren't for show. "shit don't you fucking die on me zac, or get a concussion, whichever is worse! c'mon...wait i think i-" kazimir reached down to his belt where he remembered he had one more pokeball only to find it was gone from its resting place. sweat started to pour out of his face as he realized he was down a pokemon, probably lost in the wreckage of the building as he glanced over to what was left standing.

then his face turned to that of one of realization as he remembered that zac himself was chosen by a legendary pokemon. so he went to work patting down zac's person looking for more pokeballs hoping to find the one pokemon that could probably help out the most right now. "c'moooon where are ya ya stinking bull. we need ya! hey zac did ya bring your bud bulu with ya?! c'mon answer me!" kazimir frantically cried as he shook zac once more to try and get him awake as he continued to search the man's person before giving up and deciding that he was going to need to move out of here to get some help. 

putting one of zac's arm around his shoulders kazimir wrapped his own around the man's waist as he bent down and lifted with all his might to hoist zac up to his feet and start dragging him away from the building to safety. his minior managed to pull itself out of the dirt and see his trainer walking away and followed suit only to look back at the wreckage and tilt its body as it remembered something.

where was its ninetales partner?

as fire began to spread around the wreckage a shilloute started to rise out of the flames, followed by another, and another, and many more as the form of an army of ninetales covered in flames stepped out. its FLASH FIRE ability kicking in as it wore the flames like a dress, the heat not even having an effect on it, as more and more of itself began to pour out of the flames, a DOUBLE TEAM that it used on its own as it searched the grounds, spotting people left and right of it. 

with a howl it sent its army of doubles to chase after trainer and pokemon alike, teeth bared and snarling ready to bite into the flesh of others in a fit of revenge. its desire to hunt and kill growing stronger as the flames around it began to flash ominously like purple for just a second before going back to the red and orange hues. it seemed FERNANDO'S MIST only amplified its rage even more, now it didn't care where it came from.

THE SHADOW STORMBRINGER craved blood.

tldr;
- pokkenger reveals himself!?
- jumps off of zac to try and attack Katherine Fairburne with his helmet!
- gets caught in an explosion with his minior, they're blasting off!

EXCURSION: ROUTE 113B

Creams is forced to her knees with a force she doesn't understand. She struggles against her bonds, eyes still wild, but can only watch helplessly and snarling as the Aegislash lines up the killing blow.

Then the Steelix bursts from the ground.

While she's still locked in place, a fissure in the ground has her sliding downwards instead, into the tunnel the large pokemon had made, vanishing into the darkness and narrowly avoiding getting her heart stabbed out. Creams will live another day but it is unclear of her current fate.

When Creams collapses, Chu-e finds himself suddenly on his stomach as well, feeling a pressure that makes it hard to breath. Katherine Fairburne's eyes could kill- but Chu-e meets her eyes full on, defiance burning in his own. He isn't cowed by her. Isn't cowed by any of the half gods who are raging and going insane.

FERNANDO SILPH meant nothing to him. The strange man in the suit meant nothing to him. And, now, Katherine meant nothing to him, too. The reasons for her shift in place in his eyes, from valuable asset to this was already uploaded on the servers. Cillian Quinn would have access. Walsh would have access. It didn't matter if he died here knowing that was secure.

The fragile roof splinters and Chu-e falls in a mess of wood and plaster. Princess screams, trying to grasp him with her Psychic, trying to use what little she has left to pull and tug at his body. Giratina's power is too great for her, in the end, but she at least softens the blow as she can. Keeps him from taking on too much damage.

But she can't protect him from the explosion.

A few of the sturdier pieces of the building, support beams that by this point are half charred, are basically all that remains of the wreckage. Chu-e, even under the effects of the gravity, is launched by the force of the blast- and he smacks into one of them directly. There is a sickening crunch and pop that is echoed by a high pitched noise, eyes wide and blood spilling from his mouth at the hit.

He lays in a crumpled heap, arm and leg bent at an awkward angle, back to the scene at large, folded in on himself like a crushed paper crane.

The mind is strong but the body weak.

Chu-e Choi does not move.

- Creams narrowly avoids getting killed thanks to Steelix busting in
- She falls into the hole Steelix made and is ??
- Chu-e gets taken down too, falls down into the MESS but doesn't die thanks to Princess using Psychic
- Chu-e is slammed into a wooden beam thanks to the explosion
- Chu-e fucking dies?

Ezra appreciated Chu-e Choi 's attempts of comfort, though, he hadn't forgotten who originally flipped the switch. Who pulled the trigger to this mess. He nodded along to his rambles, information coming in from one ear and out the other. He didn't know who Zac was, and from his point of view, the only thing that was WRONG was Rocket's actions against innocent workers. But he knew to keep quiet about that.

Following Chu-e's gaze, he noticed the scientist stumble out from the ensuing carnage, looking like a wreck. A grim expression wiped over his face as his boss ordered him to ensure her safety. Yeah right. Still, he plays the part of the loyal grunt and jogged over to the woman, not before taking a slice of time to send out his Espeon with orders of protecting Chu-e. Her and her psychic abilities should be enough to prevent a fall.

"You...You okay?" He nibbled on his bottom lip, frustration boiling deep within him, as he was forced to comfort the murderous beast in front of him. Sure, it wasn't her intention to slay those innocent workers, but Ezra knew nothing of that. "I can hel-" His arm, which was in the process of reaching out, had paused in its placed. Staring back at him wasn't no ordinary human. No, her eyes were both wild and rabid, like a Pokémon defending it's territory. Her voice came to him in a hiss. "Fuck you..."

He narrowed his eyes at her, a crackle of detestation within them. As much as he wanted to berate her with questions and condemn her for crimes, his cowardice prevented him from doing so, screaming at him to not respond to her provocative words. No, just keep quiet and focus on orders he were given. The faster they succeeded in this, the faster he could escape this terrible reality.

Breath in. Hold it. Then release.

“Where the FUCK IS IT?”

The bellows of ferocity sent a ripple of shivers throughout his body. Ezra squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, not allowing it to phase him.

Breath in. Hold it.

“HELP ME FIND IT, GRUNT.”

Then release.

"Calm the fuck down!" All the pent up frustration, anger, and disgust he felt towards her flooded out from his mouth, bursting through the wall of fear that held him back before. "You're the fucking head scientist, so act like it."

Right before he could continue, the cry of his Espeon pierced through air as a lumbering man was spit out of the shack's mouth and into the field beside them. Worse of all, as Sol was attempting to dodge his hurling body, Chu-e had fallen from his position above, making her unable to react in time to catch him.

Ezra looked back at his Pokémon, then up where his boss used to be, then back at his Pokémon. Realization flickered across his face, then horror. No no no no. Alarm bells, sirens, everything went off inside his head, ushering him to act FAST. Regardless of his feelings from today, he couldn't deny the very real appreciation and admiration he held since their initial meeting. It was the only positive connection he had felt towards anything Rocket related since his arrival.

Without a moment to think, the grunt launched himself forward, leaving Lulu and the flung man behind. As he did so, he called upon his two released Pokémon, commanding them to follow him towards the shack. Sol, the Espeon, immediately grappled unto his body, climbing up to her favorite position onto of his shoulders. The other, his Tyranitar, simply lumbered towards the shack, a few feet to his trainer's left.

As they neared it, Ezra threw himself towards the ladder Chu-e had previous used and attempted to climb it towards the roof. Sweat dripped down his forehead as each step he took resulted in a pulse of fear throughout his entire body. Fear of his boss' current position and safety. From his new position above, his head peered inside the building, his eyes hungrily searching for Choi's location. If Princess helped pointed him out, he would then nod, wince at the sight of his boss, then turn to her and ask, "Use whatever power you have left to hold us here, okay?."

With that said, he shimmied the Espeon off his shoulder and waited for her to position herself beside Princess. "Sol, grab him and throw him ANYWHERE outta there, okay? If either of you fall, try falling on Ty back there."

Then, with a pit in his stomach, he looked back at Ty, then at the two psychics. "Go!"

With the go ahead given, Sol casted Psychic on Chu-e and attempted to bring him up and out from the pit below. Ty, on the other hand, released a howl before stomping on the ground. With each second that passed, the stomps grew in strength, eventually causing the ground to shake, then rumble fiercely. The tremors were that of an Earthquake.

TLDR;
- listens to chu-e and tries to help lulu
- Sends out espeon to catch Chu-e if he falls
- Espeon was distracted with dodging Zac and ended up missing the fall
- Ezra blows up on lulu
- Sees Chu-e fall and tries to help
- climbs up the ladder to where chu-e used to be
- Tyranitar used Earthquake and Sol used Psychic to grab Chu-e
- He asks to Princess to use Psychic to hold them in place

❝When you fall you too will become mine. Come forth, humans!❞

The poison from Zac’s VENOMOUS HEAVEN-BUSTER melts through the layers of his cocoon until Fernando can tear the back off himself. A desperate kick from his heel splits the backside open as he widens the gap with an extension of his knee. Renewed, conscious, Fernando emerges, banged up but operational.

Just in time for gravity to invert. He’s felt this vertigo once before, deep within the recesses of Meteor Falls, but having experienced it once before doesn’t make him an expert. Zero gravity, especially one under Katherine’s whim, is impossible to navigate.

“…!”

He does a quick one-eighty, trying to get a handle on the situation. His connection with Tapu Fini, his sixth sense, pricks at him as the Pokemon starts to tap into it’s Z-Move without him. Unstable emotions bleed into his own consciousness as their mental link becomes foggy.

“Katherine, I can’t control Tapu Fini.”

It’s not the first time either. The Pokemon only remains by his side due to their mutual goals. Unlike the other Avatars, whether it be through subjugation or piousness, their partnership hinges on mutual respect. They operate independently, like minded, yes, but diverging when their opinions differ.

Last time, it had attacked Lucas Lane while they were on an underwater excursion. This time, it seeks vengeance on his behalf.

An exchange of attacks coat the hallway in a lightshow of pink and black. The second DARK PULSE strikes just as true as the first one. Malicious energy cackles and the Tapu Fini pulls both arms up to erect a PROTECT.

The green shield comes up just in time for the subsequent Steelix and explosion. It cracks instantly, no more sturdy than any other glass instrument present, as the flames of creation burn true. The water from earlier evaporates at the sudden flare of energy and Tapu Fini is thrown backwards from the impact.

The tremors of an EARTHQUAKE rouse the Pokemon up from its momentary collapse. Agitated in a frustration that stems from being unable to steamroll through any occasion, the Pokemon starts to leak its own powers. The MISTY TERRAIN that remains starts to form specter that Hoenn has no business of forgetting.

ALEXANDER STONE.

Talia Bosch.

SILAS BLACKWELL.

LANCE VOLLANS.

Natalia and Rinc.

Philomera.

Megalopolans and the countless rangers that lost their lives during the war.

The come in droves, hands erupting from the mist as the dust coagulates into tangible shapes. They watch, glaring at everyone involved, standing at attention as they bear witness to their courier’s revenge. They kneel, void of personality, no more than another source of energy as the door to the after-life wanes. It cackles with the whip and snaps of ether, pooling into an ultimatum.

Fernando’s Smeargle is blindsided by the blast. This time, there’s no prior warning, meaning it gets hit by the brunt of the orb’s fracture. Like Chu-e and Zac, it gets blasted into the lasting standing pierce of the building’s infrastructure, crumpled on the ground as it struggles to get back up. Soot and ash cake the Pokemon’s face as it weakly cries out. Blue and grey sparks fizzle the louder the Pokemon gets, escalating with its volume.

Like the others, Fernando is tossed back by the blast. When the glass shatters, he can hear a high-pitch scream, before the resulting explosions deafens him in a sudden boom. The sound pales in comparison, a sign his hearing is shot by the rupturing vibrations that come from such a cataphoric combustion.

He’s thrown somewhere within the remnants of the workshop, grimacing as he teeters the edge once more. This time he remains responsive albeit struggling to move. He reaches for a Pokeball. Anything to stop Tapu Fini from doing what undoubtedly feels eating away at his own anger.

Fernando’s Zygarde remains within the compound. Likewise, it too is affected by the blast. The ground type Legendary is blasted through a wall as it lands outside along with the rest. Still under the effects of Fernando’s earlier mist, it growls, setting its sights on a new target: Ezra’s Tyranitar and Espeon.

The rabid dog slams both its paws into the ground, causing the floor to erupt in green light, coming undone as an energy threatens to surface and erupt with geyser like pressure. They will know the LAND'S WRATH.

notes:

- fernando frees himself.
- is subjected to katherine's distortion world.
- tells her he can't control tapu fini.
- feels that tapu fini may go berserk with its z-move.

- darkrai lands another DARK PULSE.
- uses PROTECT coincidentally before blast.
- tapu fini is thrown back and comes to due to EARTHQUAKE.
- the MISTY TERRAIN is used to summon the dead.

- smeargle is seriously injured by the blast.

Despite Katherine’s attempts at defusing some of the chaos in the scene through the sheer power that’s used against Chu-e and his team, it’s evident that this was far from over.

Kazimir, much like the falling debris, would find himself unable to reach Katherine. As if surrounded by an invisible barrier, gravity reacts and halts him in the midst of his tracks, stopping him in place. Where he might have sought to push further closer, her powers insisted on keeping him at bay.

Her eyes dart back to the Lopunny just as she’s saved by the Steelix, and during the same moment, the serpent burrows through the building to proceed to its goal. Zac’s Pokemon finds the hearth and destroys both that and the orb powering it. For a second, the world grows still, and once more Katherine can’t hear anything but her own thoughts.

Maybe nothing happened.

Maybe they were safe.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for any of them. The explosion is set off and cataclysmic flames consume all bar none. Katherine, too, bathes in them. Despite her body turning intangible, the searing temperatures can still be felt, licking at her skin and warning of the fate she would have suffered if it wasn’t for the powers Giratina bestowed her with.

Instead, she’s only tormented by the insufferable heat. Her eyes watch through the flames as others are knocked away and their bodies grow littered with burns. Calbirun manages to protect itself with a quick KING’S SHIELD, whereas her Smeargle remains by Fernando’s side, blasted by the explosion in the same fashion the Silph was. It cries out in pain, barely able to hold its tail up - but it seems to be recovering, slowly.

It ROOSTS in place, focusing on replenishing its health and healing its wounds.

But all good things must come to an end, and that, too, includes Katherine’s loitering and observation. Eventually, the fire settles and she can move once more.

“... Caliburn!”

If the pokemon could nod, it would have. It knew what its trainer was after, and it was more than willing to comply. Trailing after the Lopunny, it gives chase through the hole she fell into with the sole purpose of capitalizing over the damage dealt to the pokemon. If the job could be finished, then it sought to do just that.

AERIAL ACES will commence as Katherine’s blade will seek to plunge itself into the body of the mega-evolved pokemon. Chu-e Choi, however, is rescued by Ezra Zeke and that alone is enough to assure Kat that she can’t give chase after the Underboss.

tl;dr

- Kat is still floating thanks to Giratina's power.
- She avoids damage by turning intangible again when the explosion occurs, however, she can still feel the searing flames lick at her skin. Scary stuff.
- Smeargle is still with Fernando, as it was also hit by the explosion. Still on the floor, it ROOSTS to regain some health.
- While Kat can’t chase after Chu-e due to Ezra rescuing him, Caliburn DOES chase after the Lopunny, ready to duel with a series of AERIAL ACES

At Ezra Zeke ’s response, she saw red, and her body went to shadow. What seemed to be her head turned around quicker than the rest of her, as though her eyes couldn’t wait to pin him down. Had she not been utterly batshit in that moment, she might’ve inwardly commended him for his bravery. Instead, she sneered, eyes flashing again, before her desperation persuaded her that he wasn’t worth it. She turned, stumbling further from redemption.

Meanwhile, inside, a greater conflict raged. However, after impacting the guardian deity with a second DARK PULSE, Darkrai disappeared to the dark corners once more—and this time, it didn’t reappear.

Instead, the legendary rose out of the ground outside, having sensed its avatar’s march away from her command and towards damnation. His ice bore into her own with a level of authority which could not be contended with. Her nostrils flared in defiance, and she seethed, but ultimately bent to its will. No other option was given.

Pivoting a second time, the scientist went to begrudgingly join Ezra Zeke in rescuing their boss under the will of Rocket’s divine knight.

She tripped forward as a burrowed Steelix tore through the earth and shook the ground beneath them. Earth split, separating between shoes, and her guardian surged towards her to take her in its arms. As it did, an explosion occurred.

Lulu was embraced closer by her god; enveloped in black, their darkness seeming to steam and evaporate from toxic acid, burning holes that could barely keep up patching themselves. The part of the building next to them had burst outward, sending them flying a ways back.

When all went still, Darkrai’s arms released her to the ground. The legendary was clearly heavily injured. Lulu shook. Many of these traumas were not firsts for the woman, and everything in combination nearly proved too much.

Still, its stare held hers and did not let go. Darkrai hung there, until his chosen rose to her feet, until her fear and heartache were overcome by them. Only then did it recede back to the ground, disappearing again.

She would do right by her saviors. Their saviors.

As the poison of Zac Ramsay 's Dunsparce continued to rain down, no longer lessened by the shield of the roof’s overhang, it seared Lulu’s skin. Too full of adrenaline to stop, tears of pain began to stream from her thoroughly stunned, expressionless face, washing away blood in two pale streaks down to her sharp jaw. They had no end. A drought had ceased.

As she crossed the grass, she passed by Zac Ramsay ’s body and didn’t spare a glance, even as Kazimir Wynter rushed to help him. Passed her Gardevoir, near death, and didn’t stop. Her singed boots didn’t slow as she bent over to swipe her mask off the ground again, gritting teeth through the smell as she restrung it to her face. She growled lowly through the pain in her broken fingers and a turning stomach. In a final stand, she then placed herself slightly ahead of Ezra Zeke and Chu-e Choi once he'd been lowered to the ground, to take a defensive stance in the yard between them and the rest. She stumbled as the ground shook beneath them, struggling to stay upright from Tyranitar's EARTHQUAKE.

When it had subsided, she merely watched what unfolded, too exhausted by chaos to express the terror she felt at the sight of the Zygarde as it attacked Ezra Zeke 's pokemon. She made no move to interfere, staying close to guard her team. She squinted through the hellish atmosphere they'd created to look for Katherine Fairburne , only to glimpse FERNANDO SILPH 's army of ghosts. By chance, a familiar face stuck out.

'And I want you dead.'

Every sense of her reality crumbled.

Moving mechanically, her good hand reached for her last pokeball, and a shadow Alakazam entered the fray at the sidelines. The barrier of BEAST BLOCK sent a dark sheen of energy around it.

Nearby, Darkrai watched from the shadows. Lulu felt his presence, although her hope remained dim.

TLDR:
• Lulu nearly attacks Ezra Zeke , but changes her mind
• Darkrai retreats to convince Lulu to help her boss
• Darkrai saves Lulu from explosion
• Darkrai is heavily injured, disappears
• Lulu returns to defend Team Rocket, is scared of Zygarde
• Lulu pots ghost of Rinc through the wreckage
• Lulu releases her SHADOW ALAKAZAM to the field defensively
• Alakazam's ability BEAST BLOCK is automatically in play:

erects a BARRIER at the beginning of battle and when the user is in a pinch!

the BARRIER will mitigate damage from the next PHYSICAL ATTACK that lands.

In the moments following the explosion, Steelix burned.     First with the pure thrill of success, which ran through Kev's metal body like lightning. he had done it! He had heard the signal, followed the order, and had emerged magnificently.     Then he burned truly, as the expanding front of searing hearth-fire tore at his steel coat. He dripped steel like candlewax, splattering the floor as he fled underground. And that's when the fear hit. Kev had retreated back down the hole, but the burning hadn't stopped. His outside sizzled as the origin flames tore through his steel.
On the other side of the garden, in the pocket of an unconscious Zac Ramsay, a pale blue stone began to glow. It went largely unnoticed, both by its holder and by Kazimir Wynter , who was carrying Zac to safety.
     Crystal spurs burst through Kev's thinning metal skin as he Mega Evolved. Chunks of rock, iron and shimmering quartz orbited his length, and any flames still sticking too him guttered out. He was safe.
But not alone.
A rabbit slid down the tunnel, slipping through the spinning maze of metal and mineral to escape further underground. Kev stared after it, wide eyed. He recognized it as one of Chu-e Choi 's Pokemon! Creams the Lopunny! The Lopunny disappeared around a bend in the tunnel, and Kev could have sworn it had looked behind in fear, as if it was being chased...
The SHING of sliding steel echoed down the tunnel. The unmistakable rasp of a sword. Something was chasing them.     Kev pushed himself into motion. He followed creams down the tunnel, slamming the sides with his tail to collapse it as he went. The Rock Slide filled the passage, and Kev continued the blocking as he slithered deeper into the earth. Anything following them would have have their work cut out for them. Swords aren't very popular as digging tools, and there would be 10km of collapsed tunnel between here and the entrance.

-Zac is still unconscious
-Kev the Steelix escapes underground following the explosion
-He is on fire, and badly burning
-Kev Mega Evolves to cure the burning
-Creams descends the hole, escaping past him
-Kev collapses the tunnel behind him as he escapes

Creams was still confused but without the influence of the mist was less manic. Sense hadn't fully returned- but it was getting there, in a dazed sort of way. She knew she was being hunted, a hind part of her brain with her more prey type instincts kicking in. The last of her Mega form was fading away, bringing with it exhaustion. A flash of a blade- and on instinct her Copycat was used, matching the swings of the Ariel Ace one by one, even as her forearms and hands dealt with the brunt of the damage. Oozing wounds as she was slowly backed up, her form shimmering before it finally petered out, her regular form remaining. The Rock Slide startled her but it was enough for her to kick back, create a bit of distance as she used her powerful legs to dodge in the tunnel. She breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at the Kev and giving a small nod before she darted off- towards the exit of the tunnel, away to safety. She needed to meet up with her trainer before she succumbed to her wounds.

Meanwhile, Chu-e does not feel being moved, or hear any yelling, or witness many things that happen, as he is dead.

Except.

The body is weak but the mind is strong.

And only Ezra Zeke's pokemon and his Gardevoir free him, after the other no doubt thinks that Chu-e gone, does his eyes snap back open, breath gasped and sucked back into his lungs. Maybe it's the thinning of the veil by Tapu Fini that allowed him to linger. Maybe it's the strange crystal corruption that saved him from Genesect. Maybe it's neither of those but something else entirely. All Chu-e knows is he is alive and confused and when he tries to move, his body knowing it is dangerous, that his broken bones scream in agony.

But Chu-e was always good at agony. Old Rocket had done a fine job of whipping him into exactly what it wanted. One didn't learn under the old Informant without proving you could endure his methods, after all.

The pain is sharp and startling but easier to push away, to force into a little box to be dealt with later. The more startling is the ringing in his ears, preventing him from hearing exactly what's happening. He feels the Earthquakes instead of hears them, a drum beat of power.

"Re.... retreat." He chokes out, blood on his lips, a barked order as hazy eyes bring Ezra and Lulu Flint back into focus.

Zac Ramsay and the strange suited man catch in the corner of his eye. His gaze lingers on the redhead, still out, and Chu-e hopes the other is alright.

Princess does her best to help lift him, both with her body and Psychic. She is tired with her own efforts but more than willing to push herself for her Trainer. The main problem is the strange green dog that seems intent on fighting, to extending this conflict more than needed. The objective was gone. There wasn't a reason to stay.

Except there was one thing forgotten about. Both by Chu-e and perhaps those around them.

Sparklefur, the Shadow Delcatty, slipped from the shadows. When her Trainer had been pulled into the workshop, she had hopped back outside. She had needed to recharge her energy from the Solar Beam and had been mostly ignored until now. While she had still be slightly effected, she had also mostly been safe from the blast of the hearth.

A kittenish smile stayed on her face as she opened her fanged muzzle, a ball of three circling energies gathering before a Tri Attack was launched at the Zygarde. The Ice, Fire, and Electric would be a potent combo to fight against for most normal pokemon. Her tail twitched once when the attack was launched, before she darted to the side and around, trying to make it between Chu-e and any danger.

as kazimir carries zac along with him he notices the fight that still is happening around, his former partner zygarde confronting  another man and his pokemon carrying an unmoving and bloody body with him. he could faintly make it out as Chu-e Choi, a friend of zac if he was remembering correctly. Why they were being attacked it didn't matter, just that he couldn't stand there retreating while that was happening, so he took in a deep breath and hoped that he would hear it. "DOMON! LET'S THROWDOWN!"

there was a low rumble as pieces of floor and roof suddenly shifted before being thrown up into the sky as an urshifu rose from wreckage. its eyes scanned the battlefield that it found itself on and when it spotted its trainer it slowly made its way towards kazimir until he stopped when his trainer raised his hand and then pointed at the zygarde. "take care of that, keep those fellas safe! ryusei get in there too! let's use combo FLASH BOMBER!" the urshifu nodded at his trainer's words and turned his gaze on the zygarde and bent his knees before dashing off towards it as the minior followed after him.

the minior managed to catch up to its larger friend and was suddenly grabbed the urshifu who took a pitchers stance before throwing his smaller friend at the zygarde aiming between the legendary and @ezra. the legendary dog was greeted with the face of a smiling little meteor before it exploded into a DAZZLING GLEAM to blind the zygarde as the urshifu came from its flank with its fist primed and unleashed a WICKED BLOW onto its side.

as his pokemon went ahead kazimir himself shifted zac around on his back to try keep him from dragging along the ground, didn't help he was so tall, and slowly make his way away from the carnage to get somewhere safe. "don't worry zac, we'll get ya outta here, that's a poke-promise. where the heck is stormbringer though...could really use an escort."

around the wreckage danced clones of the ninetales scaring off workers who were outside and chasing them around and running around. most were ignored by the other pokemon having their own battles but one in particular caught the sight of Katherine Fairburne touching ground and slowly approached her. a clone ran into this particular ninetales and vanished into its body as an eerie light gleamed in its eyes as trained its gaze to place a CURSE on giratina's vessel. a strange smell came off of her, making her an interesting prey in the shadow beast's gaze.

tldr;
- urshifu enters the scene!
- urshifu uses wicked blow on zygarde!
- minior uses dazzling gleam on zygarde!
- pokkenger retreats with Zac Ramsay in tow!
- (shadow) ninetales uses curse Katherine Fairburne!

To challenge a god is to forsake your own fate.

To challenge Giratina, with not but a mere fraction of its power, is a whole other breed of mistake. It's foolish and it earns the ire of the Legendary, who at long last, is urged to make an arrival upon the field. Through the fire and onslaught of attacks exchanged, Giratina emerges from within Katherine - a lone flap of its mighty wings enough to quell the flames and send the debris flying in every direction but at its vessel.

Kazimir Wynter's Ninetales has earned its ire and contempt.

Through a muffled cry and a visible wince, Katherine lifts her eyes to stare at Giratina as its own stare sets upon Ninetales. To curse Katherine is to curse the god nestled inside her.

And a curse upon Giratina can only bring ruination.

Whereas the Shadow pokemon was only capable of inflicting a minor curse upon Katherine, Giratina showcases all of its might with a singular attack. Through the projected area of its realm, darkness spreads and shadows engulf each of the pokemon and men who remained within range. Its target, however, remains the shadowfied fire-type. The shadows seem to attract the light and warmth of the flames themselves, absorbing remnants of the explosion until all that remains is a dark, foreboding coldness.

A gleam of red flashes in the god's eyes before the NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE commences, and an endless onslaught upon the Ninetales is launched.

It will suffer.

It will pay.

It will learn.

Giratina was a patient teacher. It had an eternity to teach the beast what was within its capabilities and what was not.

Katherine's Smeargle watches from a distance, whereas her Aegislash (who was still underground) erects a KING'S SHIELD while the tunnel collapses. It will find a way out eventually.

tl;dr

- Kat is cursed by Ninetales!
- Giratina shows up, finally. It is very angry.
- Giratina uses NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE, the z-move, against Ninetales. It's going to teach it a lesson. Smeargle watches from the sideline.
- Caliburn uses KING'S SHIELD to protect itself while the tunnel collapses, and only when it's safe it begins to try and find its way out.

❝The isle demand it. Perish.❞

Darkrai disappears once more. But this time it does not resurface. Such cowardice is unacceptable. Not when the other Legendary is the sole proprietor of Tapu Fini’s fury. So it rises, a tide of MISTY TERRAIN spiraling around its shell, pushing past the gaping holes above.

A bird’s eye view reveals the chaos of the battlefield. Everywhere the Tapu looks, it sees irrelevant humans and Pokemon. These creatures, insignificant to the deity, are glanced over, ignored in the everlasting pursuit of the enemy.

And when it finds nothing the Tapu screams in a primal rage. The only travesty short of disrespecting it is to elude its chance at retribution. The VINDICTIVE will be realized, one way or another.

‘JUDGEMENT.’

A telepathic outburst invades the minds of those present. It echoes with a hollow pain, as if the Pokemon has no recourse but to commit retribution. Deservingly or not, someone must be subjected to its wrath. Its existence hinges on such karma.

The first to suffer are the phantoms whisked into existence. Their personality starts to bleed into their actions as the bridge weakens. Coarse groans crescendo into an orchestra of pleading howls, each one languishing in their life’s regrets, unintelligible to those that do not speak the language of the dead.

Their suffering is acknowledged by the one who summoned them. They are no more than plump berries, plucked from the battlefield, blending into a fine wine of raw energy. From this pool of NATURE’S MADNESS comes the GUARDIAN OF ALOLA.

No matter how many descend upon the Zygarde, the potency of Tapu Fini’s berserker mist does not get dissuaded. The combination of TRI-ATTACK and the incoming Minior’s DAZZLING GLEAM pelts the Pokemon in a myriad of pain. It whimpers, heavily damaged, turning away from the blinding light in an effort to retreat. From its paws, it send a pulse of energy into the earth.

The ruptured ground cracked apart by EARTHQUAKE and LAND’S WRATH leave plenty of porous openings for the GRASS KNOTS to blossom from. Thick vines sprout up under the previous attackers, looking to entangle them in a quick downward bind. The Urshifu, which had tried to follow up with a physical attack after pitching the Minior, would be interrupted by the new obstacle, possibly putting a halt on reaching the Zygarde.

When the Tapu Fini cannot find any other target, unable to recognize Lulu Flint at this height, it turns its attention to Fernando’s Zygarde. While it has no particular bond to the Pokemon, or anyone in general, it can recognize its association with Fernando. Watching it being beaten back is not something it can allow.

They are a team.

The hulking figure behind them rears its head toward those outside. A cacophony of cries erupt from its hands, in-tune with the lightning that radiates from the whirlwind of fairy energy kept within its fist. It comes down with a fury unmatched, divine punishment from the heavens itself.

[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qrfrnnpHX81yjyalbo1.mp3[/player]
A hurricane of fairy energy sweeps through the field in an absolute rampage. Wind tears at the ground, picking up speed as rain starts to trickle down in a shower of pink and glitter. The people of Hoenn will know the tragedies of Alola, of the terrible Hurricanes that ravage their coast when the weather turns against them. They will know pain.

By now, Fernando has gathered enough of his bearings to get up. It’s a struggle at first, falling to one knee as he hobbles to stand, but that’s only a momentary step back. When he realizes the Smeargle with him is not his own, he beckons it to come with him, turning the corner of the workshop to catch sight of his Zygarde and Tapu Fini’s Z-Move.

He brings his hands up to protect him from the buffeting winds. He considers reaching for a Pokeball, to recall the Zygarde, but there are too many enemies to set back now. All he can do is recognize the Urshifu, prepared to call upon his Zygarde as he commandeers the situation.

His own Smeargle struggles to control the power it taps into. It’s charging is almost done. The soreness of its throat makes its voice equally hoarse, a sign of things to come.

notes:

- tapu fini floats above the workshop to find darkrai.
- when it can't find it, tapu send out a telepathic scream.
- the ghosts wail and get sucked up for its z-move.
- uses its z-move to summon a giant mass of energy.

- zygarde is hit by TRI-ATTACK and DAZZLING GLEAM.
- turns away from the blind and uses GRASS KNOT.
- vines erupt from the cracked field to bind urshifu, minior, delcatty.

- tapu fini spots zygarde and the battle.
- directs the z-move toward urshifu, minior, delcatty.
- throws a monsoon of fairy energy at the enemies.

- fernando prompts katherine's smeargle to follow him.
- runs around the corner to see the ensuing fight with zygarde.

- fernando's smeargle continues to charge up its attack.
