❝Urghh. Fuck. We're too late. Where is— Katherine?!❞

“Not a lot to work with but we’ll make do.”

The ex-Councilman exudes confidence in his split-second decision. They’re going to confront the glass workers. His stride forward brings him to the garage door, their infiltration forgotten under the duress of being short on time.

His hand clasps around the steel door knob, turning it in sync with the gears in his head. His approach is simple, albeit one he hates: the method. Whatever value a flameless hearth may forge it is far from priceless. He just has to figure out what their buy-out is.

Thankfully, Silph is far from short on money.

Just as the door starts to part an EXPLOSION knocks him clean off his feet. The epicenter of the blast catches him from the room several feet across from him, tossing him into the opposite wall with enough force to knock him flat on his ass. He’s not sure what’s worse, the searing heat or the raw kinetic energy that pops his back in all the wrong places.

But Fernando is not the only one to crumble. The building’s foundation buckles as drywall, wooden beams, and the structural integrity of the left wing tears apart at the seams. For all the creations the workshop has crafted in its lifetime, Team Rocket rectifies this in spades with utter destruction.

Lulu’s specialization as a hacker may hog the spotlight as her most defining feature but make no mistake, her prowess as an engineer does not go unrecognized.

Fernando is buried in spitfire and rubble. Blood pours from open wounds split open by shrapnel. The grumble that comes from his newfound deliriousness is muffled by a fit of coughs, choking on his own saliva as smoke burns through his eyes and nostrils.

“Fuck.”

Bad idea. It doesn’t hurt to talk—in fact, he feels nothing at all—but pushing himself results in hacking up a loogie of red mucus and a sputter of MISTY TERRAIN. His body locks down as his adrenaline numbed nerves signal for his body to enter fight-or-flight. He borders on unconsciousness as his knees curl up in a defensive fetal position.

[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qr6er9JMvm1yjyalbo1.mp3[/player]
The body may fail, feeble and weak, but the spirit remains strong. It is not his own.

An Avatar’s boon is not one to be underestimated. Senri Harada, who died of asphyxiation and burns, was found frozen in ice so thick it was preserved well past his melting point. Fernando is no different.

An invisible, insidious fog bleeds from every pore on his body. Like pheromones, his body releases a defense mechanism to buy him time under the impression of an attack. It mingles with the smoke, breathed in by some, potent to the point that exposed skin is all it takes to take hold.

League?

Rocket?

Allies, friends?

The bond between trainer and Pokemon?

What are they?

Nothing!

No one is here to help you. They want to hurt you. Kill you. Maim you into pieces to devour at their delight.

Fernando, the oldest and most practiced Avatar, loses control as his powers go awry. His MILD-ALTERING MIST does more than rewire those affected. It turns them into savages as they descend into a self-destructive trance.

It makes Shadow Pokemon look tame.

An immortal aggression bubbles inside them unknowingly. Their body will subconsciously recognize only one truth: Everyone who is not Fernando Silph is your enemy. They must be disposed of.

’s Lopunny, who so graciously protects Zac.

, who enters under the premise of doing good.

Her Gardevoir who TELEPORTS outside, able to reach out to those who’ve yet to enter.

and his Dunspare, venturing forward with the most noble of intentions.

And, perhaps the most menacing disaster yet to be realized, another Legendary, Darkrai.

All are subject to the hate fueled gas.

But let’s not forget the other workshop employees, bunkered down in the collapsed garage, nervously trying to beat the flames back from reaching anything flammable.

Team Rocket's trap may have triggered but another ticking time bomb remains: madness inducing smoke and a final countdown until the encroaching flames set off something much more potent.


notes:

- is about to confront the glass workers.
- team rocket's trap is TRIGGERED.
- fernando takes the brunt of it as the nearest.
- is buried in the rubble, bleeding, choking.
- unknowingly releases a SELF-DESTRUCTIVE mist.
- the mist mixes with the smoke and affects anyone exposed.
- those affected will be rewired to kill anyone who is not silph.
- the mist is spreading and will reach those outside with time.
- the garage fire is slowly spreading toward explosive material.

Ironically enough, the fact that the explosion catches Fernando first grants Katherine the opportunity to react. Or, at least, so she thinks. In reality, Giratina acts of its own volition, intent on protecting its host. Anti-matter is manipulated by the renegade God, allowing the Elite Four member to turn intangible and witness the explosion from a rather unfamiliar perspective.

Katherine stands in the middle of the room as the building rattles and Fernando is sent flying. Debris phase through her, as if she were no more than a ghost herself. If she could talk, she’d most likely try to confirm the Silph’s status - but the smoke prevents her from doing so. Instead, she utilizes her sleeve to cover her mouth and filter some of the smoke that she undoubtedly inhales.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

He can’t die. He can’t die on her. She can’t let him die.

Until this very moment, Katherine didn’t even think about her Smeargle. Now, however, she’s forced to search for the pokemon with her stare. Eventually, it’s found but no command is given just yet. Tapu Fini’s mist finally reaches her system and begins to spread through her body - once more, earning Giratina’s attention and ire.

The Legendary wrestles for control, not willing to surrender its kingdom.

It leaves Katherine confused herself, but still with enough clarity of mind to proceed, even if at a slowed pace.

“Heal—” she coughs, unable to finish the sentence. The word alone, however, draws her Smeargle’s attention. “Heal him! Don’t let him fucking die!” Although her Pokemon was affected by the mist, her command didn’t contradict the effects of Tapu Fini’s curse.

Katherine’s injured Smeargle makes its way over before beginning to paint with its brush, the soothing energies of a ROOST seeking to revitalize Fernando. In the meantime? She tends to the rubble and debris Fernando was buried under, seeking to lift whatever it is that she can lift.

Why?

Because she needs his fucking Pokemon. Where the fuck was Tapu Fini?

The Pokeballs she finds (assuming she does) are opened without so much of a thought, each tossed to a different corner in the burning building.


tl;dr

- haha explosion. chu-e is gonna deal with an angry katherine later.
- giratina gets involved and protects itself (and kat) from the explosion, and later wrestles with the effects of the mist.
- she orders her smeargle to heal fern with ROOST while trying to deal with the rubble herself.
- she's also looking for fern's pokeballs. assuming they are found, the pokemon are released immediately. can tapu fini pls help?

Darkrai was familiar with . It had seen him in her head, and the things he had done. It’d attempted to string them all together for her, but it erred on the abstract side as an artist and it had proven difficult to get the message across.

It was no wonder that as soon as the legendary’s eyes fell on the man, they wouldn’t stray too far for long on anyone else.

Due to this, when the MILD-ALTERING MIST began to spill out from him, Darkrai was quick to react with a black HAZE of his own. It billowed out as it rose from the floor, coming strongest from its source to protect the legendary from the effects. However, unfortunately, its counter didn’t reach its own avatar quite in time.

She had been struggling with the body of another nearly unconscious employee, coughing wildly herself, when the mist was breathed through the smoke. A shift happened in her mind. There was no struggle. It opened to Tapu Fini’s power as it had time and time again, perhaps even easier than the rest.

She forgot her remaining pokeball, reaching instead for a micro pistol hidden at her hip. She had killed many people. None of them had been with pokemon, save for Megalopolans, if you counted them. Experience won. Enter Fiona McCoy.

Without hesitation, a bullet rocketed through the skull of the person already limp in her arms. Blood and other matter hit the wall. Before the body hit the ground, her own sank right into the floor, a shadow moving in others to find her next victim.

From within the growing dark, more gunshots would ring out.

BANG.

BANG.

BANG.

Soon, she would rise out of the ground behind  as she aided , gun pointed uselessly at her ghostly head but with all crazed intent. She didn't seem to notice the man on the ground.

Before the trigger could be pulled, the HAZE hit, drawing her back into some version of obscured reality as the initiative began to come back to her. She felt the cool steel of the gun in her hand and it dropped. Smelled blood. Her heartrate soared, and her mouth went dry.

TLDR:
• Darkrai recognizes from Lulu's nightmares, watches him carefully
• Attempts to counter MIND-ALTERING MIST with HAZE
• Lulu is affected by the MIST, pulls pistol, kills four NPCs
• Lulu appears behind , points gun at her
• HAZE starts to clear her mind, lowers gun
• Lulu is devolving into a PTSD-related flashback

"...huh?"

the words escape his lips before the masked hero jumps out of his hiding spot as the flames and smoke from the explosion fill the sky above. his minior shaking while in the air at the sudden destruction that it found under itself and frantically tried to make its way back to its trainer. "what the heeeeeeeeeeell?!"

he was already running towards the building as he screamed out. he crashed his whole body into one of the backdoors to the workshop not even bothering to feel if it was hot or not, there was already enough smoke and fire to tell him that already. as he crashed against the floor pokkenger pushed himself to his feet and sprinted down the halls until he managed to find himself in what seemed to the be the front entrance where people were gathered together, even one who he couldn't believe the luck that they'd be in the same place at the same time like this. "don't worry folks, pokkenger's on the scene!"

however the person that really drew his attention was the poor soul trapped underneath the rubble. "ryusei! we got heavy lifting!" the hero cried out as he rushed over to 's side and started to push and pull off any rubble that was crushing the man's body. the strange mist that eminated from his body and into the air around everyone merely bounced off of pokkenger's face as his mask kept him well insulated from it as he digs into the debris until a faint glow surrounded what was left and lifted it up off of him and gathered around in the air before as his minior floated down from a hole in the ceiling big enough for him surrounded in psychic energies.

pokkenger gave his partner a thumbs up but was quickly smacked in the face with a pokeball that tilted him off balance and fell to the floor. then a weight pressed down on him. as pokkenger felt something step on him and keep him in place his head was free to look up and he was greeted with a familiar sight.

a green dog snarling at him.

"ziggy?" gunshot rung out and the zygarde bit down on pokkenger's shoulder, teeth digging into the suit that offered him some slight protection. still being in a beasts jaws was the last place he wanted to be, so he struggled to get his free arm down to his hips and click on another pokeball of his. "stormbring-aaaaaaaaah! battle! set! this! thing! off!" from out of its ball a ninetails gracefully landed on its feet before craning its neck over to see the zygarde on top of its trainer.

it didn't need any mind altering mist for its killer instinct to kick in instantly as it lunged at the legendary beast to tackle it off of its master.


tldr;
    -pokkenger runs into the building!
    -breaks down a back door!
    -runs over to to help him!
    -pokkenger's helmet keeps him safe from the mist! for now!
    -minior frees with psychic!
    -pokkenger is hit in the face with one of fern's pokeballs!
    -pokkenger is face to face with zygarde
    -zygarde bites down on pokkenger!
    -pokkenger sends out (shadow) ninetails to have it peel zygarde off of him!

Ezra nodded at 's reminder. It wasn't like his orders conflicted with anything on his side, anyways. If anything, it gave him an excuse to avoid any altercation. In his peripheral vision he noticed 's gaze, both intense and menacing. Was she upset she had to work with some random grunt? Was she angry at him? Why? He didn't do anything to her! Unless... Ezra subconsciously nibbled on his bottom lip, a wave of anxiety washing over him, as he attempted to subdue the circling thoughts and questions in his head.

Breath in. Hold it. Release.

He was back. Gaze averted back onto his boss, the grunt watched as he set off the detonator, triggering a massive explosion from within the shack. A ripple of effects ensued, starting with the booming sound of the bomb leading to the seeping clouds of smoke. "Holy shit..." His jaw dropped, the words dripped from his mouth like drool leaving a toddler's gapping lips. Then he paused. Weren't there people still inside?! His heart dropped instantly and his legs began to tremble. What in the absolute fuck was that order supposed to mean if they were planning to do this?! Ezra chopped down on his tongue, blood slowly oozing out from self inflicted wound.

Before he could say anything, the scientist acted with speed and courage, entering the crumbling building with her Pokémon in tow. The thoughtlessness of the act confirmed his sneaking suspicion that the higherups of Rocket; they were all absolute monsters. Still, there was no running away from the situation. He had to face the lurking villain that was danger and do so without hesitation. Though, his mind couldn't help but wander back to the explosion and the individuals effected by it. If nothing else, he had to at least help them.

So, with this new found goal in mind, he took one step forward. Only one. Because, before he could continue to make his way towards the entrance, a ripple of piercing needles exploded from his legs. The feeling first consumed his ankles, then moved up to his hips, then up to his shoulders, and so on. 'Move!' He thought, but his body didn't yield to his commands. Instead, his ears began to tune out the sounds of his surroundings, only catching the fast pounding of his own heart.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Sweat began trickle down his forehead and his breathing quickened.

Move

His hands curled up into fists, finger nails digging themselves deeply into his palms.

Move.

The world began to appear hazy. His mouth was dry.

Move.

It felt as though someone, SOMETHING had pushed him forward. Because, without much thought, his body flung forward. Straight to entrance he went, his mind focusing solely on movement and nothing else. But that narrow focus was short-lived. Upon reaching the crumbling entrance of the shack, a ear splitting sound pierced through the darkness, creating a quick bright flash.

BANG.

The sound of blood splattering filled the room. Some droplets even reached the peeking Ezra, marking his mask and clothes with small smears of red.



TLDR;
- Is scared of Lulu
- Was briefly-ish paralyzed with fear
- went to maybe help??
- caught the flash and a bit of blood splatter e w

The Workshop will not be his funeral pyre.

Katherine’s Smeargle prevents such a fate by pumping new life into him with ROOST. However, the sudden change between damage and repair causes his chest to lurch upwards in a kneejerk reaction. He flails when he comes to, spitting up a much thicker MISTY TERRAIN that seems to be endless.

The pixie dust grows in intensity until the twinkle of glitter becomes cloudier than the fire’s smoke. It’s heat tickles at their brave attempt at staying inside but that will come to an end soon enough. The more Fernando chokes out the more the terrain reflects a MISTY SURGE.



The Pokeball tossed around belong to his Smeargle and Zygarde. The former, opens, empty and useless as it bounces off the rubber floor. The other one, not so much.

Zygarde, Legendary as it is, is not immune to the effects of saintly Avatars. The moment it is released, it goes for the nearest target, fangs gnawing at Pokkenger. Any recognition is blinded by the MIND-ALTERNATING MIST, lost in translation. The canine only cares about one thing: chewing through anyone that might pose a problem for it’s master, Fernando.

Timely interference from his Shadow Ninetales ensures that Pokkenger lives long enough live through dramatic irony. The Shadow Pokemon knocks the Zygarde clean off his body, tussling in a fit of teeth and paws. Around them, the very debris the Pokkenger had just shuffled away, come hurtling forward at the behest of Zygarde’s STONE EDGE.



The transition from MISTY TERRAIN to MISTY SURGE is wide enough to allow Tapu Fini to pry open the gate from the afterlife. As per the legend, the island deity appears under the curtain calling of his constant terrain output. It settles next his head, eyebrows furrowed, placing its hands onto his head to help stabilize his condition with HEAL PULSE.

Water spills from the innards of its shell. Any droplets that escape start to coil around the Legendary, creating an aquatic ring it can use should it need to tap into its SURF. For now, the Pokemon attends to its chosen Avatar, brimming in an anger that agitates and then usurps his MIND-ALTERING MIST.

Whoever is responsible will pay.

They will know VINDICTIVENESS, even if it’s through the hands of another.

notes:

- ROOST heals but causes him to go into shock.
- continues to spew MISTY TERRAIN. it gets thicker.
- zygarde is released and attack's pokkenger.
- uses STONE EDGE on shadow ninetales.
- enough MISTY TERRAIN allows tapu fini to appear.
- it remains by fernando, assisting with HEAL PULSE.
- water starts to pool around it.
- it takes over the MIND-ALTERING MIST, spreading more.

    Zac heard gunshots, and started running. Smoke billowed from the ruined wing of the workshop, and Zac couldn't help but breathe some in. He coughed, still pressing onwards, and was struck by an invasive thought.
    I need to protect Fernando.
    It seemed like the most natural thing in the world, despite the fact that he hadn't seen the man in weeks, and the sheer force of the thought sent green thorns of energy bursting from the ground. All through the house, wooden surfaces ruptured, suddenly filled with life after decades of death. Jagged spits burst from the walls, and the floors bristled with curling brambles, looking to Ensnare anyone who wasn't . 
    Protect Fernando. Protect Fernando. 
    Zac forced his way through the rumbling house and reached the main room. There! Fernando was surrounded by enemies. The green suited man on the floor didn't look like a threat, and neither did . Thought her Smeargle was doing something to Fernando... Protect Fernando.
    There was a woman Zac didn't know. She had a gun. And she was right next to Fernando. 
    Zac took another deep breathe of the intoxicating smoke, and his Grassy Terrain surged through the room. The life energy infused him with the power to protect. He swelled with strength, and felt his muscles creak and strain. The same Empowering energy filled his Dunsparce, as well as  Fernando's Tapu Fini, Zygarde and Smeargle. 
    With a feral hiss Dunsparce launched itself at Ninetails. The tunnel snake pulled water from the growing pool underneath Tapu Fini, and swung its drill tail at the fox with a surging, empowered Aqua Tail.
    Meanwhile, Zac was focused on . Furious, ragged brambles burst from the floor around her, coiling, wrapping, and aiming to Ensnare. "PROTECT FERNANDO!" Zac roared as he charged the woman.
  

-Zac heads towards the gunshots and breathes in the MIND-ALTERING MIST
-Has a strange compulsion to Protect Fernando
-Enters the main room 
-GRASSY TERRAIN goes wild, feeding off Zac's fury
-GRASSY TERRAIN increases the PHYSICAL STRENGTH of Zac, Tapu Fini, Zygarde and Dunsparce 
-Dunsparce attacks Ninetails with Aqua Tail
-Zac goes for the biggest threat: The woman with a gun
-ENSNARES Lulu and charges her

A whole lot of shit happens at once.

Creams shrieks, the sound high pitched and feral, holding her head as the mist seems to seep into her brain. A beat. Two. The Lopunny hurled herself forwards, body glowing as she tapped into her bond. Which was confused, strange, warped. Who did she care about? She didn't know. She just knew she cared, and it was thanks to that the Mega Evolution happened.

Outside, heading in, just behind , Chu-e paused in the doorway, feeling the piercing in his ear warm from the evolution right as he heard the gunshots. He moved without thinking, trying to grab the back of Ezra's shirt and pull him back, away from danger, to put his much smaller body between whatever was happening and the grunt.

"What the fuck?" He squinted, saw the chaos, saw Creams fling herself bodily at the closest thing to - which was

A few thoughts raced in his head, trying to put the pieces together. He was missing something, which was fine, he wasn't a mind reader, and honestly the safest thing to do was.....

Let it play out.

Chu-e didn't want or to get hurt but the way his pokemon was acting was not normal. He hadn't survived old Rocket by charging in and being selfless. He'd survived by being selfish and willing to throw others under the bus. The mission needed completed. All he could do was hope that the Flames of the Creator wouldn't judge his soul too harshly when he was finally put out of his misery.

"Zeke. With me." Stepping back, Chu-e called his Gardevoir back out, motioning to the right side of the building. Keeping outside, he moved to go around the building. If he couldn't get to the hearth from the inside, he'd have to pull it out.



- wow. just wow guys
- lopunny goes mental and mega evolves. attacks katherine to 'protect' fernando
- grabs ezra away from the door
- not sure what the fuck is happening inside, but decided to let it play out
- lets his gardevoir back out for protection as he tries to go around the mostly undamaged part of the building to get to the objective from the outside
- - since chu-e didn't notice him in the post and he didn't get tagged

stone and dirt pierced through the water's surface and grazed the ninetails and its flesh as a wave of water slammed it into it. pokkenger himself just barely took a step back as some of the stone edge nearly buried him. "hey ziggy! its me! c'mon your old buddy yeah?! we don't see each other for a year and this is how ya act!?" the hero's words were probably falling on deaf ears as he was face to face with two pokemon ready to fight, including his ninetails who staggered back to its feet growling like mad and his minior who floated over burning brightly red with rage by the tips of its shell.

"arceus, how about we all calm down ok?" his eyes swept past the two pokemon to see being ensared by brambles as approached her while she aimed a gun at "ok, well if ya wanna get rough, battle routine, and set." small stars started to glow into existence around his minior while dark flames gathered in his ninetails mouth, "execute! ryusei hold off ziggy and the dunsparse, stormbringer help out too!" with that the ninetails unleashed a howling dark pulse on the zygarde and dunsparce while the minior rained down a swift on the two opposing pokemon to join in on the fun.

"so now..." he raced over towards lulu as quick as his legs could carry him, practically making a long jump over the debris in front of him so that he reached out to try and knock the gun out of her hand with a hard slap while putting himself directly into 's path without realizing it until it would be too late.


tldr;
    -ninetails uses dark pulse on zygarde and dunsparce
    - minior uses swift on zygarde and dunsparce
    - rushes over to disarm if possible
    - accidentally puts himself in zac's way wether or not he falls to knock down the gun!

Katherine manages to find Fernando's pokeballs in the nick of time. Unfortunately, Tapu Fini's is not included among the two. Filled with dread, she's left staggered for a moment as realization sets upon her - Fernando could very well die if his stupid Legendary doesn't show up soon. She refuses to believe that he hadn't brought it with him, so where was the Tapu?

And why was it hiding?

Her questions are dismissed upon sighting the mega-evolution the Lopunny undergoes, eyes widening ever so slightly as the pokemon charged at her. Involuntarily, Katherine turns intangible once more, resulting in 's pokemon kicking straight through her non-corporeal body.

In response, Katherine releases one of her own Pokemon - Caliburn. Her faithful, shadow pokemon was prone to aggression regardless of the mist, but now? Its antics are only amplified. The pokemon's blade glows with a silver hue before performing an AERIAL ACE, slashing at the Lopunny repeatedly. It cares not to stop or halt in its tracks to check for her status, but instead, seeks to inflict as much damage as possible.

Carnage will ensue in its wake.

Katherine is unaware of the gun pointed at her head, but thankfully, both Zac and Kazimir tend to and disarm her in time. Before she can even take a glance back at the trio, the MISTY TERRAIN grows heavy in the air moments before Tapu Fini finally makes its arrival.

Thank god.

It begins to tend to Fernando, releasing a HEAL PULSE that aids Smeargle's efforts. In turn, the painter allows the energies of the ROOST to flow both through its body and the Silph's, intent on healing them both.

"Fernando, can you hear me?"

Oddly enough, this wasn't the first time the two of them were stuck in a burning building together. Last time, he rescued her, and now it seemed like she had to repay the favor. "You'll be fine, try not to move. Just... Please don't die on me."


tl;dr

- phases to avoid being drop kicked.
- releases shadow aegislash to deal with the mega-evolved lopunny. it uses aerial ace vs the bunny.
- doesn't notice lulu and the gun at all! thankfully, she can count on and to save her. uwu
- smeargle tries to heal fern more along with tapu fini. thank god that it's here now.

The chaos had increased exponentially in a matter of moments, and as she reeled from it, a multitude of questions surged. Her frayed mind struggled to piece together what had happened, heart beating drumfire.

Before there was much time to react, an onslaught came.

Violet eyes went big as saucers as she was caught off guard by 's mega Lopunny's dropkick, or more notably, how it phased right through . Effectively distracted, she didn’t see Zac coming. Or Pokkenger, or the Zygarde attacking him.

That all hit at once.

“PROTECT FERNANDO!”


It was at that very brief moment that she realized the man was risking her life to protect. Instead of questioning loyalties, her kneejerk reaction was to take a step in their direction to help. She tripped, however, when 's GRASSY TERRAIN reached up with the hands of earth itself to hold her.

In an effort to escape, the green-horned avatar instinctively turned to shadow, expecting to slip away to the floor. However, still mass, Tapu Bulu’s power kept a jagged, vaguely human black figure squirming upright in its binds.

The sight of a charging caused her form to return to normal to bring the gun up again. BANG. On reflex, the trigger was pulled, its trajectory going straight for the man’s skull. The  bullet, however, pinged off the metal exterior of the green blur of , who was then followed by another green blur, himself. Another high-tech superhero. Where the fuck were these people coming from?

“Battle routine, and set.”

A rush of memory came to her. For a moment, she was hurled into a recollection, finding herself in a bar called Kaleidoscope, where her first conflict with had occurred. However, the vision of Tapu Fini rising in front of her was all too real. The Zygarde was also suddenly familiar.

Her shoulder was jerked back by ’s assault, body startled out of heaving to puke. The gun was ripped from her hand by impact, causing fractures to a couple of fingers which were looped around the trigger still. Lulu let out a sharp cry of pain, and the pistol clattered to the swirling pink, foliaged floor.

In a stroke of luck, or perhaps with unseen help, a flaming piece of ceiling then came down to sever the scientist’s ensnaring bonds. 

“GO.”

A voice was deep, commanding. It resonated through the workshop, inhuman. Godly.


Darkrai rose from the ground in front of the woman, protectively. It gestured with an arm for its avatar to take her leave. Shocked, but compelled to move merely by his influence, her form dropped successfully to the floor again and into the shadows, disappearing.

The lord of darkness rose higher into the air, exuding horror itself. Ice glowed in its eyes from the ninth level of hell.

Purple and black circled out from its billowing figure, pushing, battling the mist as power raged. Energy swirled between its black arms, and suddenly beamed outward in a powerful DARK PULSE, aimed directly at the only being worth recognizing in the room anymore.

TLDR:
• lulu is distracted by 's ghost power
• lulu is ensared by 's GRASSY TERRAIN
• lulu is disarmed, fingers broken by
• flaming debris falls, freeing lulu & darkrai speaks for first time (approved by shiv)
• darkrai appears and is angry at and tapu fini
• darkrai attacks tapu fini with DARK PULSE

    Protect Fernando.
The single thought cuts through all of Zac's deep set priorities. Forced him forward. Spurred him to violent action. 
    There were bodies in the main room, crumpled and broken like discarded glasswork. Zac made no move to heal them.
    Check for survivors Protect Fernando
Zac had eyes only for the woman with a gun. He charged at , low and powerful, aiming for the base of her spine. 
    Use non-lethal force Protect Fernando
 She turned, raising a gun right at Zac's face, but at the last second, the green helmeted figure leapt between them. Zac had no time to stop, or intention to halt his change, and he barreled straight towards . There was a sharp BANG as the gun was fired, right before Zac smashed into the pair, sending the three of them to the ground. 
    The floor beneath them faded to darkness, and something rose from the shadows. The room felt darker, more sinister now, closer to the realm of nightmares. The thing moved away from Zac, as the woman phased through the ground, disappearing in a pool of shadow.
    With his target gone, Zac turned on the green man. With a roar, Zac raised both hands above his head in a two-fisted smash and brought them down on his suited opponent.
    Protect your Pokemon Protect Fernando
The wood warped around , twisting together slowly to form a cocoon of twisting, healing wood. A shield fit to protect Zac's one and only objective. 
   
    Shimmering stars and pulses of dark energy knocked Kibou across the room. He tumbled through the Grassy Terrain, and life force flowing into him, wounds already closing. Despite his increased strength, Dunsparce wasn't meant for fighting. No.
    He was meant for flight.
    Z-Energy flowed into Kibou from the ring on Zac's finger, filling the Pokemon's enhanced body with blazing light. He shuddered, and his stumpy wings stretched, preparing for launch. The Dunsparce pointed his drill to the sky.

                Z-MOVE: VENOMOUS HEAVEN-BUSTER


Artist's Rendition
    (Artist's rendition, Zac is not currently riding Dunsparce)

    Kibou blasted up through what was left of the workshop's roof, propelled by a stream of toxic poison. The top half of the worhsop was blasted away by Kibou's launch, and his jet trail rained down on the fight, mixing with the already choking air and splattering the floor with poisonous purple liquid. 


-Didn't heal the workers (Protect Fernando)
-Tackled Lulu and Kazimir (Protect Fernando)
-Lulu disappeared so Zac is trying to Hulk Smash Kaz (Protect Fernando)
-Zac created a wooden healing cocoon around Fern (Protect Fernando)
-Dunsparce used VENOMOUS HEAVEN-BUSTER (Protect Fernando)

While 's swift movements ushered Ezra away from the muddled mess devolving inside, it wasn't quick enough to save him from 's vicious display of horrific bloodlust. From the gunshot to the limp worker's body hitting the floor-- the grunt witnessed it all. Hands trembling, eyes widened, the man was left completely frozen. Images of the victim's limp and lifeless body flashed in his head, haunting him like a vengeful ghost.

BANG!

The scene replayed in his mind again and again. The gunshot, the blood, the draining life oozing from his slumbering face, the millisecond of surprise as the victim woke from the loud sound. He wanted to scream, to cry, to somehow release these stirred up emotions inside. Subconsciously, he began to slouch forward, armed wrapped tightly around himself, countless questions and thoughts spinning round and round in his head. 'Why would she kill him? They didn't need to kill ANYONE! The orders! What about the fucking orders? Why, why why?' A slew of toxic vile surged up his throat and out his mouth, painting the ground with liquid pain. Sweat dripped down his brow as he continued to clutch his stomach in discomfort, his throat raw and sore.

"Zeke. With me."

He looked up weakly at Chu-e, a line of bile still stringing out from his mouth. "Ye-yes sir," He answered back softly, his voice barely managing to remain audible. Wiping the remaining sludge from his lips, he followed the underboss towards the right side of the building, not daring to question his intentions.

Brown weary eyes stared back at the intact wall. Monsters lurked inside there. Ezra reached into his pocket and, with the flick of his wrist, he released his Tyranitar from it's home.

Just in case.



TLDR;
- Is experiencing a lot rn
- Threw up
- followed Chu-e around the building
- brought out his Tyranitar because he can no longer trust anyone there (except maybe Zac)

a bullet struck his helmet and kazimir almost shit himself when it did. if he hadn't decided to reinforce this thing years ago he probably would have been a dead man like the few that laid around the shop's floor. still his body was already moving on its own as he managed to smack the gun away by twisting 's fingers to the point that they bent ways that no finger should ever bend.

it was a short lived victory however as he suddenly felt something ram into his side and force him onto the ground with the woman in tow. however as they hit the ground the woman suddenly melted into the ground and disappeared from zac's grip. pokkenger wasn't so lucky as zac's weight had him pinned. normally this would something that kazimir would be all for, even the double hammer fist that came down on his head, but right now the circumstances weren't totally ideal.

the man's strength was immense, more than pokkenger would ever guess as he felt the fists fall onto his helmet and a crack suddenly spread from the point of impact. that was not a good sign, and neither was the glimpse of a strange dark beast. now this party was truly getting crazy and he needed to try and get a handle on things. his pokemon weren't handling so well as they were suddenly drenched by the poison left behind the dunsparce as it rocketed off into the sky.

"sorry big guy...but maybe ya can smash me...another time..." the masked hero groaned as he felt around the floor for something to hit zac with, luckily he felt his fingers graze along a bundle of soot that was thrown around the floor from the explosion. his fist closed around some and he threw it into the giant man's face with a roar, "SOOT SPLASH!"


tldr;
    -pokkenger is hulk smashed
    - ninetails and minior are drenched in poison!
    - pokkenger uses his special move soot splash on !

Chu-e's back was a tense line. He allows time to vomit, averting his eyes politely. Princess, the Gardevoir, sticks close. When Zeke is done and they're on the move, Chu-e.... reached out to take his hand. For a moment. To pry it from him and give it a small squeeze. "If I was better at doing my job, you wouldn't have had to see that." He hisses, still avoiding his eyes. Agitation ripples under his skin, hand dropped as they round the corner.

"Something's... wrong. Very wrong. Zac would never..." He's speaking to Zeke but also he trails off, the sounds of the fighting echoing even out here. He glances at the Tyranitar when its released, nods, then his eyes fall onto the stack of lumber that had seen earlier. He takes a step for it, then his eyes snap to movement- stumbling from the carnage of the building and looking like hell.

"Fuck- Flint!" He makes to step down, to go to her; it should be an easy choice, but a pang of guilt ripples through him. For her getting hurt to start with. For leaving in there when something was wrong he just didn't know what and- "God fucking damnit all to hell. Piss on a fucking priest." He starts to ascend the wood again, a wobbling staircase to the roof. "Zeke, make sure she's okay! And you or your pokemon be ready to catch my ass if I fall!" His hand finds the roof and he starts to use what little upper body strength he has to haul himself upwards.

Meanwhile, back a few steps in the scenario, Creams is still manic. She chatters wildly when she misses, goes through her target, surprised that she almost doesn't react in time to block the Ariel Ace. She lifts her arms up just in time, fists up, the outside of her forearms slashed viciously and blood oozing. She's pushed back- but in her Mega form, a power builds within her, the Scrappy activating when she sees an opening. Drawing a fist back, it glows with an orange light as she slams it upwards, attempting to Sky Uppercut Caliburn.

That's when the Dunsparce decides it needs to see heaven, flooding the area with the poison gas. It blocks out Cream's vision and she jumps back, coughing. The nearest noise draws her in, senses gone, and she launches herself again at the sound - unknown even to her, this time Tapu Fini.

Right when Chu-e has almost pulled himself onto the roof, the Dunspace crashes through the roof, almost shaking him off. The purple cloud luckily dissipates faster outside, but between that and the smoke from the still burning fire he coughs. Damn, this will fuck him up, eyes already burning; at least he had on that mask, which can block out just a bit and save him for a few moments. At least the roof is dealt with, which simplifies his plans greatly.

Between the stinging, watering eyes and the various smokes and poisons it's hard to see exactly what's happening even from up here. However, Chu-e has a clean shot- his own gun pulled from his hip and the aiming reticule lined up right between 's eyes. After he gives away his position, it won't be a shot he will likely be able to get again. While he doesn't know exactly what's happening, Silph and were Avatars and one of them was causing this. That 50/50 shot would be worth it.

Zac's crazed and lumbering form, attacking some man in a green body suit, catches in the corner of his eye. His hand shakes and he grits his teeth hard enough to taste blood, a frustrated noise leaving him as he puts the safety back on the gun and stashes it back in place. His final pokemon is called out- Sparklefur, a sleepy and odd looking Delcatty. The white 'bands' on her ears and tail seem to flicker, rapidly changing from pink to green as if they can't decide where to settle. Eventually they seem to stay on green.

"Solar Beam!" The feline yowls and opens her mouth, a pinprick of green light forming in her mouth, eating away and tainting some of the plants that Zac's terrain had spawned around her paws. A powerful Solar Beam is fired wildly from her maw, zig zagging dangerously over the entire field and powered by her temporary Grass typing. Princess, who had followed him, and pointed at Zac right as the Pocket Sand is flung at the other.

"See if you can... yank him out of there!" Princess's eyes start to glow, hands raised, as she uses her Psychic. She moves not Zac himself, but a loosened panel of the flooring, even more worse for the wear from the battle. She sweats with exertion, hands shaking and power flickering, attempting with one last push to fling Zac, and anything that might be in his path, out one of the ruined windows. It would land him, surprise surprise, into the backyard where Zeke and Lulu are currently at.

Princess collapses with the effort, her chest heaving as she crumples to the ground, needing a moment to catch her breath.



- Tries to comfort Zeke. Kind of.
- Spots Lulu and orders Zeke to help her.
- Climbs onto the roof.
- MEANWHILE, Creams is hit by the ACE and her Mega form Ability Scrappy activates, so she uses Sky Uppercut
- The fucking poison POG
- REALLY wanted to shoot Fern in the head
- But he feels guilty =/
- And calls out his Shadow Delcatty to use a Grass-Typed Solar Beam across the field to fuck stuff up and try to break up some of the fighting
- Gardevoir tries to yank up the FLOOR under Zac and fling him, and anything in his path, outside and into the backyard
