‘JUDGEMENT.’

It was unclear which god had spoken to them this time, as Tapu Fini and Giratina rose up to deliver their respective wraths. The wind of Giratina's wings was enough to cause her to hold up an arm, and she found herself sliding back in the grass. The fire was sucked out of the vicinity, a strange coldness emanating from the smoking wreckage that gave her goosebumps as a darkness befell the area.

The sight of Tapu Fini, who was closer in proximity despite its ascent, froze her. She couldn’t look away, even despite the ghosts which became more active. Their moans shook her to her core, and she willed herself not to glance at a familiar face she knew was there. She simply couldn’t process it. Not now.

Lulu didn’t dare command her remaining pokemon, knowing full well it wouldn’t listen. She merely hoped its presence would do them some good, with luck.

“Please don’t do it please don’t do it please don’t do it please don’t do it—”

But the mantra going frantically under her breath fell on deaf ears. She felt herself momentarily lift off the ground as her Shadow Alakazam turned on her, as it typically did. “Oh, give me a fucking break!” Her feet kicked a little beneath her, uselessly. However, when Zygarde’s GRASS KNOTS reached up to ensare those pokemon desperately fighting against it, Lulu was unceremoniously dropped back to the earth. Alakazam turned fully, acting in its own interest as its hand instead came up to attempt to lift the legendary dog into the air with its TELEKINESIS. Its chaos was too close for comfort.

Wincing, Lulu pushed herself halfway up off the ground again, just before the tropical storm commenced. She was reminded of ’s Lugia and its storm on the island as her hair blew around her face, blood beginning to wash away as she choked on sharp gusts of glittering wind. Breathing a moment, she managed to notice a couple of things through the increasing downpour.

One: There were unfamiliar pokemon fighting on their side.

Two: was standing across the field, facing them, in clear view—and for some reason she couldn’t place, she felt in her heart that he would not think twice about killing her. It was more than unnerving.

Adrenaline was succumbing to the numbness of shock. The threshold had well been passed, and then some. She willed herself again to her feet, remaining just ahead of the two men behind her, ready to defend them with her life.

“Re-retreat…”

Lulu’s eyes flashed to her . Gardevoir. They needed Gardevoir, unless someone had something that could TELEPORT (one that would reliably listen), and so far, it didn’t look that way. She looked back at the scene before her, feeling hopelessly stuck as the onslaught against them thickened.

Suddenly, the sky began to become even darker, if it was possible. All pink and daylight faded ominously, and Darkrai finally made his appearance once more, rising out of a swirling pool of black to enter into his new world of night. The shadows of those enemies close began to grow long across ground, before erecting themselves upright to take the form of horrors and deepest phobias. Its turn had come. The KNIGHT OF TERROR would show the force of its anger. Not unlike Giratina, it also sought to teach a lesson.



After seizing back the field, the still wounded legendary soared upwards to meet Tapu Fini in the air and challenge it a second time. Perhaps it could hold the foes off long enough to distract it from its team, and give them a chance to escape. It hurled a DARK PULSE in Tapu Fini’s direction before going back on the move through the air, further up into the sky, hoping it would follow—away from those on the ground. This fight was between the two of them, anyways.

Wide-eyed at this new level of power, Lulu stumbled back a step before springing to action. Taking a chance, she broke into a dead sprint in the opposite direction. “BE RIGHT BACK.” she informed as she passed by his ear, seeming to have switched back to frightened human since their previous interaction. As soon as the words left her lips, her body went to shadow and she took to the ground.

In moments, she would reach the body of her Gardevoir—and it was still alive.

TLDR:
• Lulu is scared of Tapu Fini
• Alakazam uses TELEKINESIS on Lulu, then drops her to instead direct it on Zygarde
• Darkrai reappears again to unleash its z-move KNIGHT OF TERROR on those attacking team rocket in the vicinity
"no matter the time of day, a starless night falls over the battlefield. within an area, all shadows grow long, upright and contort, manifesting into the opponent's deepest fears, be they in the form of entities, or situational. targets who face these umbral fears are inflicted with PARALYSIS."
• Darkrai goes into the air to challenge Tapu Fini again, hurling a distracting DARK PULSE at it to buy the three Rockets time to escape
• Lulu turns to shadow, rushes to retrieve her Gardevoir in hopes to teleport to safety upon her return to the party

booming voice of the legendary guardian shook kazimir down to his bones forcing him to stop in his tracks and nearly drop zac before regaining his composure and moving the giant man around so he didn't fall off his back. what scared him the most was that the voice was inside of his head, not his ears, and seeing the giant titan rise up from the field he could only put two and two together as to where the voice came from. "hooooo boy. that's a big fella." he gasped out lout as he moved a hand over the other and rubbed a small gem embedded into his glove as it flickered to life with light before he clasped a hand over it and grabbed onto it tightly.

the zygarde managed to protect itself from being completely blinded and assaulted by the teamwork of urshifu and minior but to think that that was all it was going to take was loser's thinking and they both knew that. the ground beneath them cracked and snares of grass snaked out of it to try and ensnare them, luckily ryusei was quite the gardener and used his PSYCHIC powers to grab hold of the knots and tie them together into their own knots with one another keeping the two of them safe from being wrapped up and trapped like rattatas.

domon's senses were much sharper than his small rock friends' as his body shivered as he felt his fur suddenly sway, then the gathering energies of the alolan guardian swept him and ryusei aside. the urshifu grabbed his minior companion before it could be blown to the ends of the earth and kept it tucked close to its chest as it rolled along the ground as the power of the legendary cut deep into his skin.

"DOMON! PUSH BACK! WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE ALIVE YOU HEAR ME!?"

his trainer's words were drowned out by the winds roaring around him but deep down he could hear them. deep down he could feel his heart burning with rage against their enemies. that burning sensation expanded from deep down inside to all around his body as it started to burn up and an aura slowly formed around him as he rolled onto his feet and pushed himself up to a standing position. the winds blew against him once more and almost forced him down but with a single step forward he managed to brace against the winds as his body began to glow and he let out a roar.



from outside the storm of pink kazimir could see the faint familiar glow of his pokemon as well as its roar through the wind. both of which put a smile on his face. "go get 'em." he whispered, words that wouldn't reach his newly mega evolved urshifu who managed to plat his feet solidly onto the ground and stare up at the large giant in front of him. tightening his hold onto his minior companion the ursine pulled his fist back and let the energies within him build up in the palm of his hand. balling that hand into a fist he punched the air in front of him and the energies gathered in his fist shot forward as his G-MAX ONE BLOW cut through the monsoon aiming to hit the titan square in its chest.

another clash between titan and mortal was taking place but one side was clearly loosing as the shadowfied ninetales found itself at the mercy of the satanic beast as its nightmare pelted the poor fox. pain racked its every limb, migraines pounded its head, the fur and skin slowly turning into its coffin as the toxins seeped deeper into its body, its voice was sore from expressing its pain. tears started to roll from its cheeks as it feel to the ground and witnessed the red eyes pierce through its very soul.

it wanted to give in to the darkness. to steep further down the black. and yet...

"and we'll call you...stormbringer! cause ya remind me of stor-"

"ya think you can beat him? he brings the storms to your little victory party!"

"c'mon i know ya got more rage than that!"



red eyes shot open and begun to be filled with an eerie glow. the words of its trainer replay in its head like admist a fog of pain that gives it a gentle reminder;

it was a beast.

a demon.

and if a god wanted to play rough then a demon would be more than happy to oblige. despite the pain, despite the struggle, the fox got to its feet as it flayed its tails and met the god's eyes with its own as the light from them began to spill forth into dark energy that formed into its mouth as OTHERWORLDLY POWER mixed into it as it let out a howling (GHOSTLY) DARK PULSE to shroud the darkness in its own shadow of malefic energy.


tldr;
    - minior uses psychic to cancel out grass knot!
    - urshifu mega evolves! [1/3]
    - urshifu holds minior close <3
    - urshifu uses g max one blow on the guardian of alola
    - (shadow) ninetales recalls its trainer's past praise
    - (shadow) ninetales uses dark pulse against giritina (uses shadow ability to affix ghost typing to dark pulse)

    Grass and flowers wilted around Kazimir, and thin trickles of emerald light flowed into Zac. A muscle in his face twitched, pulling at his burns. 
    The roots under Kazimir's boots shriveled to dust, and the hardy trees around him dried and bent, cracking as they were harvested. The trickles of green thickened to streams, and all at once a flood of green crashed into Zac from beneath. It was less a gentle infusion of healing and more like getting hit full-speed by an ambulance. Zac was knocked out of Kaz's grasp, and onto the dead ground. He writhed as his body was forced back into shape. Bones were yanked back into place and set, burns faded, leaving mottled golden patches where his jacket was now fused to his body. 
    "I just had the worst bloody dream," Zac groaned as he rolled over and pushed himself up onto one knee. He coughed, and was surprised not to see a chunk of lung go flying. He shielded his face from the wind and looked up at the green suited legs of . "You were there." He looked over to see the form of , who was fighting Ninetales in the ruins of the workshop, "and she was there too." Then Zac caught sight of the massive Tapu titan that was battling the Gigantamax Urshifu. "Those two I don't remember so much..." Zac frowned. Am I still dreaming? Are those even Pokemon? Why did I...do any of that? 
    He got to his feet, feeling wooden and unsteady. His head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and then beaten with a cinder block. "Uh, thanks for the save green man." he struggled to pull the name from his memory. He had seen posters of the superhero on the walls of  's secret base. He wracked his brain. Pokimane? Pochako? Pachinko? "Pokkenger, right?" Zac said, grinning at the hero he had just tried to beat to death. He stopped shielding his eyes and caught sight of the hero's face for the first time. Pokkenger had removed his green mask, revealing a familiar face underneath, with a head of blond hair.
    "K-Kaz?" Zac said, completely shocked by the reveal. "Why are you here cosplaying as the Pokkenger?" As the words left his mouth, the pieces finally clicked correctly into place. For weeks Zac had been under the impression that Kazimir was just a very enthusiastic fan of Pokkenger. while exploring the pair had stumbled upon a secret base filled with equipment and posters of Kazimir in his Pokkenger 'costume'. It all made sense now.
    "You're...you're him." Zac said flatly. "That means that...oh." Zac had flashes of memory. Pokkenger blocking 's bullet. Zac ramming into him and taking the trio to the ground. Smashing his friend's helmet with his two-fisted slam.
"Uh, sorry about the...everything." Kazimir looked relatively unharmed. "Are you alright?" he asked, stumbling over to place a hand on the blond man's shoulder. No healing flowed into Kazimir. Zac's body needed all of it right now. 
    Zac looked past his suited friend, to where the giant Urshifu and the titan were battling. "That's your big guy there, ay? Don't worry, I'll make it up to you."
    Zac stumbled past Pokkenger and towards the warring titans, leaving a trail of gray, dead plants in his wake. With ever step he felt more surefooted, more awake, and more certain that this was the latest in a long series of mistakes.     


    Zac approached the fight, and as he got closer he pushed with his Grassy Terrain. The healing shuddered, stopped, and fresh greenery pushed up from the ground. At first it was reluctant, the foliage pressing upwards gently through the ashy remains of dead grass and weeds. "Don't worry big fella!" Zac called up to the towering Urshifu. "I'm gonna do what I can. You just keep punching, yeah?"
    The Grassy Terrain swarmed and surged underfoot, and bands of deep green energy pulsed under the feet of the Urshifu. As before, the terrain would empower the Pokemon, filling it with incredible physical strength. 

-Zac starts to heal, killing the plants nearby
-His bones set, and his burns heal, and he wakes up
-He gets off Pokkenger and heads towards the fight
-Zac reminds himself to get an autograph for  
-Zac uses his Grassy Terrain, empowering Urshifu

A whirl of movements erupted from a multitude of directions. Ezra was barely able to catch his own breath as the heavy body of his underboss plopped down from his Espeon's psychic grasped and into his arms. With a nod of gratitude, he descended down the ladder, returning back to the ground where his Tyranitar patiently stood. But, alas, this small victory was short lived as a howling green goblin leapt towards the group, red targets replacing that of his old pupils. It violently slammed it's paws to the ground, allowing beams of light to break out through the cracks, aiming this unknown energy at them.

With chaos ensuing around them, the group was severely ill-equipped to block or dodge the incoming attack. So, with two thunderous thuds, the Ty the tyranitar stepped forward, blocking the group from the incoming blow. A his jaws dropped as a screeched bellowed out from his mouth. Pain was scribbled across his face as the beam had left a gash across his stomach. "Shitshitshitshit," Ezra's eyes, both wild and manic, scanned the area, unsure of where to go next. The heavy huffs of the dog drummed in his ear. And, beyond the immediate fear of his slobbering maw, a bigger fear lingered in a shadows. A fear of who the Pokémon belonged to.

Luckily, before the green dog could strike them with another attack, Ezra heard the sound of it's cries. It appeared as though two other Pokémon averted their own line of attack onto it. Thank Arecus. "Ty, Sol, let's go!" His voice was raspy and horse. The crippling cowardice that usually haunts him was edging closer towards his heart, but the sheer rush of adrenaline kept them at bay. He pushed himself forward, allowing the incoming attacks to provide enough time for their group to escape the Pokémon's line of immediate fire.

"Re.... retreat." Ezra's gaze snapped down. Chu-e was alive. "Yes sir. Just...give me a second." The right side of his lips quirked into a lopsided smile as he attempted to swallow his own raging thoughts. Don't think, just move. A gust of fairy energy rushed out from...above? Regardless where it came from, the man hunched over and tightened his grip on Chu-e, bracing the gusts of energy the best way he could. After it passed, he stole a quick glimpse of the scene behind him and saw...a lot. Unknown figures danced in the sky, producing world bending attacks he didn't even want to comprehend. Below, a few new and unfamiliar faces met his eyes. They looked cold. Menacing. He shuddered.

Ezra looked back at Lulu, only for her to dash off, leaving behind only a few parting words. Okay. Great. He gulped. This was definitely NOT a mission meant for an inexperience grunt. Turning away from the chaos behind, he attempted to jog away from the field, assuming their Pokémon would trail close behind. Don't think, just move. He didn't need to know who that man was, or who that green dog belonged to. He didn't even need to know where Lulu went or what the FUCK those things in the sky were. All he needed to do was RUN

TLDR;
- Climbs down the ladder with Princess?? (I assume she follows lol)
- Meets up with lulu
- Ty gets hit with Land's Wrath
- Using the distraction of the other incoming attacks, he moves away from the Zygarde, Chu-e still in his arms
- Found Fernie creepy
- Saw Darkrai and Tapu Fini and thought 'fuck this'
- Kinda just accepts Lulu's departure and starts heading away from the area, assuming she'll (and Chu-e's other pokemon) would just follow.
- For clarity sake: didn't really notice the spooky ghosts

If Chu-e could determine one thing from this whole endeavor: He was pretty sure that he hated Avatars. Not the legends themselves, but humans really shouldn't have the power of gods at their fingertips. There wasn't much that him or his pokemon could do against something like this- against the spread of darkness, against the massive beasts fighting for dominance like kaiju, against the whipped up hurricane of fairy dust covering his tongue.

Blood dripped from his mouth as crystals bloomed under his skin.

With his good arm he gripped a pokeball- called Sparklefur back into her ball. Retreat would be easier with less pokemon to slow them down, even if it would have been useful to have her keep chasers away from their backs as they ran. He leaned heavily on , taking his weight off of Princess.

"Use... that move." Is muttered, rough, and Princess, deep bags under her eyes, lifts her arms. Z-move energy flows into her body as water clings and sticks between her hands. A brilliant and searing flash of white light overtakes her body, the water falling from the storm hovering in air. For one second, two, then is starts to fall again. A glowing blue cloud swirls with the dark ones, pale blue drops falling with the fairy energy over the area. Princess sighs and collapses, unconscious, and Chu-e calls her back into her her ball as well. Now he just needs to find Creams, wherever she's at.

The Life Dew: Angelic Shower stings the skin even as it forces bruises to heal and small scrapes to knit back together.

Without his Gardevoir helping him, Chu-e is unable to keep himself upright, having to rely on Zeke. He takes a watery breath, vision starting to swim again at the chaos around them. "I can't walk." Is rasped out, his good arm snaking around to pull closer to Ezra. "We can't handle this. We need to go." Him and Ezra were just mortals on the playground of the Gods.



- Chu-e recalls Shadow Delcatty
- Princess uses the Z-Move: Life Dew: Angelic Showers and faints, so she's also recalled
- Can't walk on his own, relying on Ezra to play prince charming and earn a kiss

Fear cuts deeper than swords.

It is a little-death each person subjugates themselves under unwillingly. It consumes all, capable of imprisoning men in cages of their own making. And despite her ascension to power and the gifts bestowed upon her, Katherine Fairburne was still more of a mortal than anything else. It shows, now, when she herself sees in Darkari's shadows the fate she dreads most - a life where she's powerless. A life where Giratina is no longer by her side.

A life where she's all alone.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not money that runs the world, it's power. It's the reason why Kat's desire for more can never be sated, it's the reason why the pursue after power never ends, and it's the reason why having it all taken away from her is worse than anything else.

But in fear, there's strength.

In a familiar sight and a common nightmare, she finds power, too. For each second she's left to dream about a life where she's powerless, the hunger grows stronger. Giratina's mark on her heart etches itself deeper.

Katherine Fairburne refuses to starve. Now, tomorrow, forever.

The CURSE pulses inside her, an important reminder of the ongoing battle. She wakes from the trance she'd been put under with her eyes widening some, and in this weakened state, she can't help but lean against Giratina's body.

More. I want more. I need more.

I deserve more.

Giratina, it seems, happened to be in agreement. The Legendary wants more and it will stop at nothing less than seeing the fox suffer for its crimes. The god's maw opens, breathing spectral blue flames in a DRAGON BREATH just as Katherine's Aegislash makes its reappearance on the field. No longer underground, it seeks to aid its master, intent on slicing one of the fox's tails off with a decisive SACRED SWORD.

Thankfully, Darkrai's shadows provide ample darkness to blend in, perhaps even enough to land a surprise attack on the Ninetales. The DARK PULSE reaches its mark easily, but it undoubtedly seems to have been shrugged off by the beast. Much like its Avatar, Giratina will not be crippled by such lowly assaults.

Somewhere else on the field, Katherine's Smeargle follows after diligently. It's polite enough to nod its head and wield its paintbrush in preparation of whatever the former councilman had in mind for him to do.


tl;dr

- katherine sees herself in a world where she's powerless, without giratina.
- however, it only makes her hungrier. giratina's curse on the woman deepens, making her far more greedy and even more obsessed with power.
- ninetales' curse is still active!
- giratina attacks the ninetales with DRAGON BREATH whereas aegislash finally reappears, striking from behind with a SACRED SWORD. aegislash attempts to cut off one of the ninetales' tails.
- giratina is hit by the ghost-type dark pulse.
- smeargle is following fern, ready to do w/e he wants him to do.

❝Hold them in shackles!❞

The scales tip spectacularly. All pieces, whether orange or purple, end up pointing in his direction. His side of the board looks less impressive the longer the game persists.

Mega Urshifu’s G-MAX ONE BLOW pierces right through the GUARDIAN OF ALOLA. A noticeable hole resides in its chest as it starts to dissolve, returning to a puff of pixie dust that settles on the floor.

His Zygarde is rendered useless as it sits suspended in Shadow Alakazam’s TELEKINESIS. It’s at the point that Fernando commits to his decision to recall it. However, he never gets the chance to follow-up.

The world goes dark. In it, the only sensation that pervades is an overreaching coldness that seeps straight into his bones. Shadows ascend, taking the form of his worst fears.

The Guzzlord and Celesteela from Mossdeep. The careless smiles of Balder Schwartz and kyle lopez as they march into Ultra Wormholes. Even Laurence Anderson and Sénon Game make an appearance as they study a checkbook, quizzical expressions on their faces as an Articuno peers over their shoulders.

It’s a sight that may be comical to those that understand the League hierarchy but not Fernando himself. But that’s due the own complexities of his inner turmoil. Someone with a deeper insight into his fears, someone like Thomas Benoit, will understand the symbolism behind it.

A single addition soaks up the myriad of his fears. Not unlike his ghost, they congeal to form a single entity: Jirachi’s Wish Tag. Glowing runes illuminate the darkness with a constant pulse. It beats to the rhythm of his heart, growing larger, parasitic mounds of flesh lashing out like some Eldritch horror.

Fernando knows better. He can recognize his fear when confronted by it. But he cannot move. The mind is strong but the body is weak. The PARALYSIS is unnatural.

His Pokemon are no different. The NIGHT OF TERROR encompasses all of their fears. For Zygarde, it’s simplistic, the systematic destruction of its other cells. They all wither until the shadows turn into something more sinister: the world coming undone. Both Tapu Fini and Zygarde are Pokemon of balance, meant to guard over an aspect of nature, their sole purpose being to maintain equilibrium.

However, there is one major difference. The night is not Tapu Fini’s enemy. It is beholden to the island deity. As sure as the MISTY TERRAIN protects it from the PARALYSIS so does the perpetual darkness fuel its connection to the after-life, the moon, and the tides it has sworn to preserve.

It cannot peel away the darkness. There’s no hope of extinguishing this night. But in darkness, light becomes even brighter. A MOONBLAST becomes a blight within the hollowed chamber, emanating a silver glow as it manifest into a singular beam.

Darkness versus the light born from it.

Both attacks collide and neither is given any ground. The resulting explosion is enough to destabilize the freeze.

Fernando still cannot move. Not extensively. But being knocked back by the blast is enough for his mouth to move.

“ALFRIC!”

Her name is the trigger word for the cue.

His scream may get muffled the further it has to travel but it still gets heard. His Smeargle finally lets go, erupting into an ear-screeching ROAR OF TIME. Whatever temporal powers it manages to borrow, a false imitation of the real thing, is enough to slow down time within the area as sparks of time magic pierce through space. It can’t alter timelines or anything of such grand status, but the flow of time is brought to a crawl as the next events fall out in slow motion.

Zygarde continues to squirm, unable to make any ground, as its hoisted in mid-air. The most it can do is GLARE at the source, leaving it equally helpless in PARALYZATION.

“What are you doing?”

Fernando’s voice comes out in slow motion as he slowly reaches for his Pokeball. His mind is able to register and think freely, at full capacity, but his body and the physics behind it cannot. However, this is the perfect stabilizer to allow him to process the dozen of things happening around him.

“You’re letting them get away!”

notes:

- urshifu destroys the GUARDIAN OF ALOLA.
- zygarde is held by TELEKINESIS.
- fernando's fears materialize. it's mostly the league + UBs.
- jirachi's wish tag cameo as eldritch horror.
- his pokemon's worst fear is the world being thrown off balance.
- tapu fini isn't PARALYZED.
- tapu fini uses MOONBLAST to null DARK PULSE.
- smeargle uses ROAR OF TIME.
- everyone is stuck in slow-mo.

    With a supercharged punch, Kazimir's Urshifu blasted a hole straight through the Guardian of Alola. The titan dissappated as it fell, breaking apart into a glittering fog.  "Whoo! Nice punch mate!" Zac shouted, giving the creature a double thumbs-up. He turned back to Kazimir, but stopped dead. 
    There was something right behind him. Someone. A dark body of shadows that blocked his retreat. The phantom was lit from below by the glow of Zac's Grassy Terrain. The green light cast unnatural, eldritch shadows on the creature's unfamiliar face.
    "Uh, howzit...going?" Zac asked uncertainly, taking a step back from the shadowed stranger. 
    The stranger followed. It matched step for step, advancing on Zac hit until he backed up against the leg of the giant Urshifu. What is it? Why is it following me? Is it going to attack? Zac clenched his fists, but the shade made no move. It just stood, barely a foot away from him, watching. 
    It's face was amorphous, and deeply unsettling. It was Zac's height, though it seemed thinner somehow. Not in the shoulders but in its depth of body. As if it had been flattened by some great wheel. 
    "Mind giving me a bit of space?" Zac asked. With his back against the Urshifu he couldn't back up any further, and the creature was too close for comfort. It wasn't aggressive. More imposing. 
    The imposter didn't move. Zac looked down at the things legs, which blended into the twisting shadows on the ground. It had no discernable feet, only lumps of darkness that fused with Zac's shadow.
    "Can I...help you?" Zac asked. It wasn't often that he met someone so silent. So featureless and solemn. Who is this guy? Is it someone I know? Who else is as tall as me? I know it's not Fernando...The shade refused identification. Is it a...ghost? Is it family come to haunt me? At the terrifying thought, the lights on the ground flared. Blazing green light flowed into Zac, preparing him for a fight. Steeling his body to resist and to heal. 
    The light caught on the shade, and for a moment, Zac recognized him. It was a face that Zac had seen a thousand times. A shape he should have known but didn't. It even had a greyscale grin that Zac knew every tooth of. He ought to, he'd seen it in the mirror every day of his life. It's me.
    "Oh. Uh, hey..." Zac said lamely. The cold green light thickened to a gushing stream. Zac's neck prickled, and he let out huffing, unsteady breaths.
    "Sorry I, uh, didn't recognize you."

Gardevoir was dying. Lulu could see remnants, like crumbs of Dave/Andrew’s dreams still digesting in their telepathic connection. It all began to fade. “Shit.”

She returned her partner to her capsule, and then herself to darkness. Just ahead of a jogging with in tow, the long shadow of a tree would contort and reveal her, and she’d lunge to shove her Gardevoir’s pokeball into the closest free hand. “She can heal him, or teleport you away, but not both.” Without any time for a response, she’d be gone again, with no promise of returning.

Up above, Darkrai was met with the force of its own reigning entity: the moon. Tapu Fini’s blast manifested equal cosmic rage, and the gods indulged in a feud which was seemingly beyond any control of the mere mortals below—even those blessed by them.

In an instant, Lulu’s shadow would jut out of the ground to her height again, and a red light shot from the ball in her hand to the Shadow Alakazam which still held the Zygarde in the air. At that moment, all things would slow. The light, still shrinking from the pokemon’s shape, writhing and suspended the air; the too-long seconds that the Zygarde would be falling, the force of gravity overridden by some bastardized greater principle. And the darkness itself, reaching for her with slowed fingers, shadows licking up her body in a promise to deliver her to salvation, but which, for whatever terrifying reason, didn’t yet take her. She stared at the Zygarde, a now familiar horror, and then to . She heard her heart beat loudly in her ears, and her thoughts became a colorless abyss she couldn’t process.

Meanwhile, Darkrai was also not exempt from the ROAR OF TIME. Its cloaked form slowed, just as it was about to send another dark pulse. Instead, it began to glow again, pushing uselessly against its bonds of the universe towards the island deity in FRUSTRATION.

When time allowed, Lulu would disappear again, and go to retrieve her weapon from the scene of the crime before making a stealthy escape. Darkrai would then fade into the shadow of a cloud, and both would be gone in an instant.

TLDR:
• lulu returns gardevoir
• lulu passes off gardevoir's ball to & to use as they will & then returns to the fray
• lulu gets caught in ROAR OF TIME when returning her shadow alakazam
• darkrai uses FRUSTRATION on tapu fini, however, due to ROAR OF TIME, it may not hit or not immediately

the giant is taken down by urshifu and falls to the ground and disappearing form this plane of existence with the minior in his arm giving a congratulatory chirp. still the fighting type's stance did not relax, in fact it only tightened when he felt a surge of power flow through his body all of a sudden. looking down at its feet it could see a few patches of grass and flowers tickling his ankles as approached him. while another giant like the one he just took down the urshifu could feel the man's words carry honesty and admiration rather than malice.

however such good feelings are snuffed out as a shadow overtook both of them and surrounded both man and pokemon. while zac saw a ghost of himself urshifu saw something similar. it was him, only thinner, frailer, his body moving slowly towards him at a snail's pace as its feet dragged along the ground. it was him, only weak and frail.

the minior could only see darkness until lights in the sky blinked into existence, and not just any lights but the lights of his fellow miniors. however just as quickly as they appeared their lights started to fade as their empty husks floated in the vastness of space. the minior dug itself further into the urshifu's bicep to try and feel the warmth of its fur instead of the cold dead space hovering above it.

the darkness was then pierced by the cry of a ninetales.

hot dragon breath burned its skin as the giratina decided to punish the sinner for its overconfidence. its a curse. a curse played on itself for its powers and now it was feeling the full brunt of it as the fox could feel its power and strength literally be burned to ashes. kazimir could hear the pained cries of his pokemon and looked over to see the demonic dragon trying to snuff out his fox. it truly was a devil.

and kazimir couldn't afford to be afraid of the devil when his partner was suffering.

"stormbringer, return!" raising the ninetales pokeball up kazimir managed to aim its light at the fox and envelope it as it returned to its capsule. the red silhouette of the fox was quickly cut by the aegislash that came from out of the ground saving his pokemon from being chopped to bits by mere seconds. when he felt his ball become a little bit heavier he looked down at the shadow of his ninetales curled up with a smile of relief. then the shadow took over without him noticing.

a spotlight shone down on kazimir's position catching him off guard as he found himself the center of attention as the sound of an audience rang in his ears, but instead of cheering it was jeering;

"WHAT KIND OF HERO ARE YOU?!" "WHY COULDN'T YOU SAVE THEM?!" "SOME HERO. HE COULDN'T EVEN KILL OFF THOSE MEGALOPOLANS!" "A REAL HERO WOULDN'T LET THOSE PEOPLE DIE!"

the voices only grew louder and began to give him a migraine as he fell to his knees and tried to plug his ears but the voices still made it through. they were the voices of people he's failed, of people he's disappointed, of people who were mad that their hero couldn't be the superhero he claimed to be.

then the screams came. their screams. screams of people suffering as he waved a fist into the air to shoo them away. but he wasn't the only one hurting them. others were hurting them and he was just sitting there. doing nothing.

"i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry but please. please shut up!" he slowly rose to his feet and pulled his hands away from his head and witnessed the blood on his hands. was his ear bleeding? did he hit someone? it didn't matter because more needed to be spilled, to make up for his mistakes. to make the voices shut up once and for all if it meant doing it himself.



because that's what pokkenger would do, wouldn't he?

before he could do anything the world around him suddenly froze. or was it slowly moving? it was hard to tell as the voice of reached him. letting them get away? who? in the distance he could see the shapes of and in the distance. was it them? were they the ones? the ones behind this mess? if so...pokkenger had to deliver justice.




so slowly he moved towards them with his fist raised, going in for an attack on them.


tldr;
    - urshifu and minior are stunned by the nightmare!
    - ninetales is hurt by dragon breath and its own curse!
    - kazimir recalls ninetales, saving it from aegislash's attacks!
    - kazimir falls victim to the shadow, realizing his fear of being considered a bad hero
    - embraces the dark side?!
    - goes after and

Don't think. Just keep moving towards safety. Towards another tomorrow, far away from the devil's playground he was in right now. Far away from the heartless bastards that could pull a trigger without flinching. Far away from the monstrosities that fought in the sky, whirling unknown powers that a simple boy like him couldn't even begin to comprehend.

Ezra chopped at his bottom lip. No matter how much he attempted to maintain his attention onto the objective that is safety, his thoughts would still continue to wander back to what he saw. What he just witnessed. Those things...what were they? Why were they there? Thinking back, he remembered being told about something called avatars? People who harness the abilities of legendries, demi-gods in their own right.

"Choi...were those avatars?" The words were light. Like droplets of rain pattering on the window during a quiet night. He understood their position, and that those questions weren't truly warranted right now, but he couldn't help but ask. To receive at least one answer to his plethora of questions. Though, when the answer was received, his reaction wouldn't be positive. Rather, a contortion of frustration and anger and hurt would appear across his features. He would quietly curse to himself, shake his head, and continue to fester in a pool of his own thoughts.

What a world they lived in. A world where Demigods played with the lives of the mortals around them, flinging about their godly powers without consideration of whether it's appropriate. To be blessed with such gifts and use them here. He knew, due to his rank, that he couldn't begin to wrap his mind around the tiny details hidden behind a simple acquisition mission. But damn did he know that there was absolutely no need to risk the lives of innocent workers by carelessly calling upon such unworldly powers. That there was no need to flaunt their strength through purposeless battles. There was no need to further bloodshed, yet here he was, barely escaping with his own life. Useless. Unable to even begin to compare. He hated them. Despised them and anyone else who would use their strength in such reckless ways.

“She can heal him, or teleport you away, but not both.”

His head shot up. Before he knew it, was in front of them again, through the use of another unknown ability. He nodded to her words, though, it was clear he was in no state to receive them. Silent resentment was flowing through his veins. The type of resentment that could destroy or reinvent a man. Still, he nodded and accepted the Poke ball from her without much a fuss. There wasn't much he could utter out between ragged breaths anyways.

After she left, Ezra quickly returned Sol and Ty back into their balls, leaving only Mushy out for protection. "I-I, uh, let's teleport us out of here, yeah?" He slapped on another grin for Chu-e. It didn't do much to hide the clearly evident emotions he was feeling, but it was all Ezra could afford to do.

The sound of Mushy's cries suddenly cracked the stillness around them, warning the two of the incoming foe. Eye brows raised, Ezra turned his head back, barely granting himself the enough time to witness Mushy come out to block the incoming attack by meeting it with a Mach Punch.

"H-hey now, uh, no need for violence! We're, uh, just hikers that are trying to head home." Rattled, Ezra knew to discreetly slip Lulu's Poke ball, as he would know how to use the Gardevoir better than he would. To heal or to teleport - that's something choi had to decide, not him.



TLDR;
- Still runnin' away
- goes through inner thoughts about avatars
- Takes the Pokeball from Lulu
- suggests teleporting over healing
- Breloom (Mushy) blocks/meets 's fist with Mach punch
- told Kaz that they (chu-e and him) are just hikers cause uhhh
- Hands Chu-e the Gardevoir poke ball Lulu gave them

    I didn't recognize it. Him. Me. 
I was just another faceless man. An unknown form.
Zac looked the shadow up and down. It was his past. An obscure internet vlogger with double-digit followers. It was his uncle Krookodile. It was a thousand other unknown people who poured their life into passion projects and were unrecognized for their work. Unknown in their time, and forever after. 
    Zac's emerald light faded, and the shadow fell back into darkness. Back into obscurity. It stood. Silent. Stagnant. Doing nothing. Going nowhere. 
    Why isn't it doing anything? 
    "Do something!" Zac shouted, frustration burning in his chest as if he'd swallowed a piece of the broken hearth. He burned with that same limp frustration that sparks when the world doesn't see you as you see yourself. Zac had been that shadow before. Never again.
 "Keep moving!" Zac said, taking a step towards the shadow. It stepped backwards, keeping that same distance between them, bound to his feet by his shadow. "Keep working! Keep making!" Zac gestured at the world at large. "Do something. You can't stop here!" he shouted. Why am I shouting? "You can't stop! You're still a nothing. Still a shadow! Whatever you're doing isn't enough. It'll never be enough!" Zac advanced on the shadow, faster now. It retreated, stepping backwards up the hill towards where Kaz had been. "Who and what you are is important, and the world needs to see it!" Zac said. it was the pep-talk he had never received. The advice he would have given a younger him. The words that he needed then. That he needed now.
    Zac stopped halfway up the hill, panting.
    So did the shadow.
     "What you are, what you do...matters." 
They stood two feet apart. Same as before. It was an uncrossable void. The distance between past and present. So close, and yet... 
    "ALFRIC!"
    A roar crossed the span of past and present, hitting Zac from behind. His skin prickled, as if every inch was pierced by a minute hand stolen from some ethereal clock. He felt pinned in place, like a Vivillion, perfectly preserved on a piece of felt. 
    Fear rose like bile. Fear of stagnancy. Of wasting. Of growing old with nothing to show for it. Of doing the same thing a thousand times and seeing the same lackluster result.
    Film. Edit. Post. Repeat.
Fear of grinding away at a mountain of daily chores and obligations, just to face the same again tomorrow. Of growing stagnant in a pool of your own dreams.
    Film. Edit. Post. Repeat.
Fear of never rising. Never growing. Never achieving more than anyone else. Fear or being...mediocre.
    Film. Edit. Post. Repeat.
It didn't matter how good your work was if nobody saw it. He could capture the greatest sights that Hoenn had to offer. Battles, nature, celebrities, legendaries. None of it mattered if nobody saw it. If a vlogger posts on the net and nobody watches it...did it really happen?
    Film. Edit. Post. Repeat.
But someone had seen it. 
. The man had invited him in. Had shaken his hand. Had offered him more. Had given him that big break. 
    The pins and needles faded, and Zac stumbled. That voice... Someone had yelled out in the moment before the freeze. A familiar, commanding voice. Zac turned, and saw a figure in the wreckage. Surrounded by rubble and the mist of a collapsing titan.
   
Fernando...can control time? That was him, right? What is he doing here? Why did I protect him? Why did I fight Kaz? Why is he fighting Kaz now? 
    
There was no time to unravel those mysteries. No time to figure out what had really happened.
    Zac saw a flash of green. Someone running, sprinting, towards the retreating forms of the woman with the gun, her companion, and...Was that ? Zac's frail friend was being carried away by, assumedly, fellow Rockets, and Kaz was headed right for them, full of adrenaline and heroic fervor.
    Zac ran after them, Fernando, shadow, and past forgotten in service of a greater goal.

    Protect my friends.

    Zac reached the ground just as clashed with a Breloom. The Pokkenger's green metal fist clanged against the Pokemon's own punch. "H-hey now, uh, no need for violence! We're, uh, just hikers that are trying to head home." Said one of the rockets. It didn't look like Kaz was buying it. Zac took one look at the unconscious Chu-e, blood still dripping from his mouth, and knew what he had to do.
    "It's over, mate," Zac said, moving up to put himself between the two groups. A drizzle of healing rain was falling now, turning the sorry groups into wet messes. Everyone looked ruined. Burnt, torn, blasted, tired. He looked over at the man who was carrying . "They're just hikers, yeah?" he said, buying in to the excuse. It was an apt cover, anyway. Zac felt like he's just climbed a mountain too.
 "I think we could all do with heading home now." 

-Zac grapples with his fear of being unknown, and gives some advice to his past self
-Fernando unleashes Roar of Time
-Zac sees Fernando and has many questions
-Zac runs over to stop Kaz punching rockets

A wet wheeze leave Chu-e. His chest hurts.

"Horrifying, aren't they?" It was weak, tired, and Chu-e continued to sag against . Even if he was alive, somehow, had been alert for the moment, his consciousness was fading again, body fighting against the damage and losing. Something was wrong on the inside. If they didn't get to a doctor quickly another miracle wouldn't pull him through, magical healing rains or not.

He blinks, it lasts too long, the scene has shifted, a pokeball shoved in his hand that he can barely hold onto. They're being... attacked? His vision swims, blood on his tongue, grits his teeth and grips Ezra a little tighter. Something felt wrong. Slow. It was there and then gone. He wasn't sure.

"Why aren't you.... helping Zac?" He bites out, rough, at , the pokeball slipping from his hand. The Gardevoir is released, weak and dying as he was, in rough shape. She can't be out long. The choice is a simple one. At the end of the day, Chu-e doesn't care if this mission does him in- but he would rather that over the thread that was Kazimir to Ezra right now, would rather he die that one of his team get hurt.

Bleary eyes trail over to red hair. A choked breath. Something similar to shame burned in his gut when he looked at the other. Words damming behind his teeth, wanting to gush out with his insides and stain the air around them.

"Teleport." It's quiet and he coughs after, pink saliva spilling from his lips, and they're flashed away.

When met with an equal opponent, Darkrai’s FRUSTRATION proves more potent then its DARK PULSE. The ROAR OF TIME prevents it from carrying out the motion in a timely manner. However, a time rending fissure works both ways. Tapu Fini’s reaction is slowed to a matching crawl.

Their clash is etched in the ages. Unwavering forces meant to feud in this life and the next. Their choice in vessels plays out as fate decrees. There is no escape from the cycle.

“Tapu!”

Fernando’s words seem to fall on deaf ears. The lack of an immediate reaction from anyone other than , means that he must play his hand. The fact that the Pokkenger or Ramsey may get caught in the crossfire is of no concern.

Tapu Fini rescinds retaliating against the Darkrai. It’s dark attacks have worn down on its shell but the Legendary is up for an unfavorable matchup. The fairy naturally resists the dark, still standing and ready for orders.

A MOONBLAST is manifested high above, redirected to and . Hot silver light beams down onto their position but Tapu Fini is too late. The TELEPORT whisks them away moments before the attack scorches where they once stood. It is sheer luck that and prove inches far enough to avoid being swept up as well.

“Zygarde! Above! Black!”

Fernando orders come in short bursts. Time is not on his side. Anything that gets the Pokemon to respond faster will do. Just as long as they don’t get away.

Being released from the TELEKINESIS drops the Pokemon to the ground. It lands with a thud, ungracefully, left to shake off the sudden disorientation that comes with being displaced. It huffs with labored breaths, jerking its head upward to try and find the Darkrai with a piercing GLARE.

Unfortunately, their time is up.

notes:

- darkrai's FRUSTRATION is slow but hits.
- fernando calls for tapu to attack.
- it uses MOONBLAST on the clump of people.
- and TELEPORT out before it lands.
- and are just barely out of range.
- call on zygarde to use GLARE on darkrai.

's Ninetales escapes the cruel fate it was destined to meet if it wasn't for its trainer. The Shadow Pokemon is recalled, placed back into the capsule that brought it out to begin with. With one threat neutralized, Katherine finally graces others with her narrowed, steeled gaze.

The now-exposed Pokkenger chases after both and , it seems, just as 's Smeargle lifts its tail to paint a lumiscent ROAR OF TIME. Katherine's own Smeargle, the one who'd been by Fernando's side until now, lifts its own tail in an attempt to SKETCH the move too - but it does so at a sluggish pace. Time slows down considerably, and it even effects the process of the pokemon's painting.

However, such manipulation of time is not meant for mortals or normal pokemon. It's reserved to the highest of forces, and due to that, time resumes its course just in time for Katherine's pokemon to resume and finish its drawing.

Despite time no longer being manipulated by Fernando or any of his pokemon, it feels as if it remained slowed still. Kaz continues to chase after Chu-E and Ezra, who both TELEPORT away just as attempts to stop his friend from reaching the duo.

Tapu Fini's MOONBLAST is unleashed, but it becomes clear even before it lands that both Zac and Kazimir were well out of its reach.

... Or were they?

Giratina's piercing stare is lowered to its avatar, the Legendary exuding a calm aura of serenity over Katherine. It may not speak, but its message is crystal clear. They stand together.

And the Legendary's stance hasn't changed. For his aggression, must pay.

Gravity once more bends to her will, as a tiny rivulet of blood pours from one of her nostrils. Without lifting a hand, Katherine pushes well into the danger zone of Tapu Fini's MOONBLAST while ensuring that is pushed in the opposite direction, away from the attack on his friend.

She may have not liked the man, but she didn't want to see him suffer unnecessarily. And thankfully, no evidence will be left from Katherine tampering with the forces of nature on the battlefield. After all, it was through no fault of her own that this battlefield was in ruins.

They had Rocket to thank for that, and Rocket will have her to thank for ensuring that they can escape successfully. Pokkenger won't bother them anymore.


tl;dr

- kat's smeargle uses sketch on roar of time. it copies it, albeit very slowly.
- she watches everything unfold: from chu-e/ezra attempting to flee, to kaz chasing after him and zac trying to stop him.
- giratina remains by her side, and it fills her with more confidence. not that she didn't have enough of it in abundance already.
