"get me back!"

from the smeargle's own pocket dimension, kyle's command gets heeded. despite the priority of the smeargle being the trainer's safety, he finds no other option but to follow. another portal opens again, dropping both of them into the waters of sootopolis.

a splash happens right where a pool of blood happens to be nearby. fearing for the worst, kyle goes after it, diving underwater only to find a phione instead of a person. smoke seeps through the lacerations as it heals just enough for normal biological functions, though its consciousness have yet to return.

when they emerge from the surface, kyle finds himself holding an unconscious pokemon. it remains on his hold, ignoring it for the moment in favor of the people he was in a boat with, as he calls for his transport.

"dragalge!"

the dragon-type immediately swims to kyle's side, hoisting him and the smeargle hanging by his shoulder above the water's surface. immediately, he picks up figures distances away from him, though it's too chaotic to make a simple headcount at that moment.

"everyone okay?!" he shouts, calling the attention of people around.

kyle escapes the explosion with shadow force
kyle reemerges from shadow force with his smeargle
finds a pool of blood. grabs the phione where the trail is from.

as soon as they surfaced it felt like the world was ending. attacks from the sky and now from the sea made things worse and worse as the person he saved was pulled away from him. but he didn't have time to worry about that right now. clutching tightly to the phione there was only one real way to get it out of the chaos. fumbling with his bag he pulled out an empty pokeball that the phione was more than ready to go inside just out of sheer fear. it knew that those things meant that you couldn't be harmed by outside forces at least and as a baby that seemed like a very good prospect.

forward surged one of the sharpedo as the phione disappeared into the pokeball, slushie using freeze-dry to try and stop it in it's track. it worked but that didn't mean this wasn't the last of the issues. "we need to retreat... regroup!" he heard angelo vestri call for the same. his ears buzzed with the sound of screams from the noivern and he felt like he was starting to get a sensory overload. "melody?" he called out for his cousin, unsure of where she was or what she was doing right now. if she was alright or if she had managed to get away from all of this.

but he couldn't worry about her as rough skin brushed against his leg, causing blood to drip slowly down and send the sharpedo into further frenzy. he had to get out of here, had to get slushie out of here as the pokemon continued to freeze-dry the shark pokemon that continued to get closer. luckily the fossil began to swim closer to the shore of one of the small islands that clustered around. he didn't care about the shitty orb and he didn't care about the mission. he cared about his fucking self and his fucking pokemon. and his cousin.

- glitch catches the phione to keep it safe and complete the prompt.
- slushie is using freeze-dry on sharpedo that get close to them
- is trying to get away from the sharpedo with an injured leg

welcome to my table, bring your hunger

POSTED ON Apr 14, 2021 15:11:26 GMT

a broken luxury boat, a swarm of noiverns overhead and other pokemon fighting off the wild pokemon were the only things registered for kyle, alongside the fact that everyone else on board was missing from his view.

"matthew!"

releasing the lucario, the fighting-type joins kyle aboard his dragalge's back. "search for everyone else." priority was regrouping at this point, especially with civilians caught up in the fiasco.

the lucario closes its eyes and looks for people's aura. the smeargle latches off of kyle and tries to fend off any wild pokemon that turns their attention to them with shadow force strikes. the dragalge would bring them to whichever direction the lucario would point them towards.

it leads them to the closest: glitch maverick.

"hydro pump!"

the dragalge helps push away the sharpedo targeting him, blasting them away with a jet of water as a double tap. "seen anyone else?" he asks him in a hurry. he'd just wait for his lucario to pick up another aura should she not know of any as contingency.

tl;dr:

takes out his lucario
lucario tries to find people's auras. glitch is the closest.
smeargle fends any noibat that comes close
dragalge double ups on the sharpedo with hydro pump
kyle asks glitch about people's locations

'til someone wants you dead

POSTED ON Apr 14, 2021 15:30:00 GMT

Despite the sting of salt water against the shallow cuts on Skyler's skin, she finds momentary comfort in its cool grasp. Screeches and screams become muffled under the sound of the tides, echoed by the press of a fragment over her chest. Its rhythmic heartbeat chasing off the dullness from a silvery gaze.

She's too experienced to give in to the instinct of inhaling immediately, though that doesn't help against the abrupt dread that jolts through her chest at the sight of the inferno above. Angel...?

Throat tight, the captain seeks the water nearby for one particular figure - but only flaming debris greet her frantic sweep of the area, slowly sinking into the bottom of the ocean.

The yacht, she knew, would follow soon after.

Captain Dross breaks through the surface with a gasp, quickly surveying the ongoing chaos. She can't see much from her current position, most people being on the other side of the soon-to-be shipwreck.

Fortunately, Lapras soon meets up with her, and the captain curls a hand around one of her shell spikes. "We need to go under," she tells the pokemon, this time taking a large breath before they're both submerged again. A niggling suspicion was taking shape in Skyler's mind; she needed to confirm it before she decided on any course of action.

Careful not to be dragged down by what was left of the yacht, Skyler quickly becomes incased in its shadow, swimming under the hull to inspect the damage.

Fibroglass and aluminum bent outwards like sharp teeth, a steel frame twisted and broken beyong recognition. Though Skyler is no engineer, it doesn't take her long to conclude that this isn't the work of Noivern or Noibat. Or of any other wild pokemon.

Whatever the source of the explosion had been, it'd been internal.

It's as Skyler's about to head for the surface, mind turbulent with thoughts and adrenaline coursing anew through her veins - begging to be released - that two tiny figures shoot past her, their blue shapes at once both familiar and alien.

Phione.

The glint of something grasped in their tiny paws catches her attention, and she isn't sure if it's greed or some outside force that prompts her forward. With a subtle signal to Lapras, they're both giving chase.

tl;dr:
- lapras comes to skyler's help
- they both dive under to hull to study the damage done to the vessel
- skyler realizes that it was foul play and suspects some of the individuals aboard
- two of the phione shoot past her, prompting the captain to give chase

Her reactions are not entirely for show. The thunder of her heartbeat in her chest is real, the pain creeping in her arm is real, the adrenaline pumping through her veins is real. She pins the girl to her side, fully aware of how heavy she is in her arms. It is difficult, it is painful, it is necessary to play pretend just a little bit longer. [break][break]

There had been a flash of movement far enough away to be questionable. In the instant her iron grip had broken Melody, the sun had illuminated their shapes just enough that she had been able to see him, in return. How much had he seen? [break][break]

And so she breaches the surface, gasping, choking. Saltwater stings her eyes and burns her throat and she is hoarse, struggling now to throw her voice over the crash of waves and the scream of wild Pokemon. Her fingers struggle to hold onto the girl hanging in her arms and she huffs, shifting her so that her head rests in the curve of her neck, propping her up.[break][break]

angelo vestri appears in front of her and she finds herself meeting his cold stare with her own. There is an unspoken understanding between them, though she doesn't falter in her facade. Her burning amber meets his cool blue with an unnerving steadiness, an unintentional slip given the rising tension.[break][break]

With the back of her hand, she wipes her mouth of water and nods, relieved that her dead weight has been removed. [break][break]

"We need to move quickly."[break][break]

Somehow, some way, the woman manages to keep her voice convincingly trembl-y. Her teeth chatter and she gestures to the Sharpedo still frothing and fighting each other over the smell of blood in the water. If they didn't move, it wouldn't even matter, they'd all be eaten alive.[break][break]

She waits only for a moment for Angelo's response before swimming for the island he had pointed to. [break][break]

Stumbling backwards upon hearing the screech from Emma Wolfe’s noivern. Fay cursed under her breath; watching it retreat with Emma, her attack was accidental. She barely heard angelo vestri’s warning to her, but Fay intended to do just that, leave the ship.
[break][break]
“Time to jump ship Prim!” She called out to her ninetails a light as the pokemon returned into its pokeball. She rushed towards the edge of the yacht, she tossed a pokeball into the air. Her skarmory releases a metallic cry while flapping its steel wings.
[break][break]
“Down!” She instructs as she hops onto Ivory’s back. Fay figured that the waters would be calmer compared to a burning yacht. As ivory soars through the sky, the skarmory does her best to avoid any unnecessary combat knowing that it would put her trainer at risk.
[break][break]
Fay spots out some figures in the nearby distance, she signals to Ivy to get closer for inspection. She soon made out that it was skyler dross, and she was busy chasing the phione. Fay saw it as a good chance to take the offensive. “Dual Wing-Beat.” She commanded, pointing downwards at the captain and her lapras.

being small and dainty made him the perfect damsel in distress in this situation. to be fair he felt a bit like one as he pulled his legs up onto slushie for protection, looking around to see where angelo vestri had managed to get swept off to. it wasn't his fault if he drowned after glitch had already saved him, right? but luckily he wasn't entirely alone. with a short wave to kyle lopez he shook his head. "angelo got pulled under but we pulled him out but then he got swept away again and I don't know where to. the sharpedo stopped me from getting a good look." especially since he was now bleeding.

"i haven't seen anyone else... do you know where melody is? or skylar?" he wasn't going to ask about his teammates. they could take care of themselves quite easily and since he'd already seen angelo there was no point in asking about him. he was going to keep his cover for as long as possible. after all it was more helpful to him if melody didn't know he was a member of rocket. she would talk to someone who wasn't a member of rocket after all. "we should head for one of the islands, if anyone is going anywhere it'll be land for better footing." the water was too dangerous and he was unable to really do much except sit on the back of his pokemon and wait to get eaten.

so he urged the arctovish forward towards one of the closest islands, not wanting to get caught up in this mess to the point that his own life was at risk.

- tells kyle he saw angelo but they got separated
- suggests they head towards land to get a better grasp on things
- is not engaging in combat with league unless he absolutely has to to keep his cover

[attr=class,bulk]
Scrambling onto the low chunk of rock jutting out of the middle of the ocean, water lapping over some of the shallower parts of the island, Angelo carefully hauls Melody Miro ’s limp body out of the sea with a grunt of effort. Rough, uneven stone scrapes his hands and knees as he crawls to hover over the gym leader; yet he barely takes a moment to catch his breath or contemplate the stinging of salt in his open wounds, before he descends.[break][break]

It doesn’t matter how much he listens for an exhale, whether he can find a pulse or even if he attempts to breathe life back into her; it’s all fruitless, Angelo realises under the drizzle of a crashing wave that slams against their rock, when the abnormality of her neck is now revealed. [break][break]

Calloused fingers carefully brush against the back of Melody's nape to touch a strange misalignment in her spine. His blood turning to ice.
[break][break]

“She’s…” [break][break]

Dead. [break][break]

Angelo needn’t say it out loud. His tone, uttered quiet and strained like it’s whispered on his last struggled breath, makes it so painfully obvious that he’s sure Anna can fill in the blanks. After all, she’d held her body, too… [break][break]

“What happened?” He asks Anna (Emma Wolfe ) slowly, after a few silent moments. [break][break]

His hand presses against a sharp rock without so much as a grimace, using it to push himself to his feet, legs wobbling even when his blue eyes refuse to break from the gym leader’s lifeless corpse. Taking her in but at the same time not. It all moving so fast that he was still processing what the fuck had even happened, like his mind was still trying to scrape together the pieces… [break][break]

A picture of a struggling mess of colour flashes in his mind again. Brief and confusing and wrong. [break][break]

( Were the both of them dragged under the surface by the Araquanid? Did survival instincts take over in their panic; leaving one drowned as they clambered frantically over the other in a desperate bid for air? But then Melody’s neck... )

[break][break]

When the courier continues, a tremble of ferocity – grief and uncertainty colliding – leaks past salt-soaked lips without consent. Angelo’s careful layer of calm slipping, crumbling, under the backdrop of a heavy heartbeat and splashing ocean water around his feet. Unconsciously turning. Taking a step. Then another. Advancing closer to the survivor with a storm hungrily crashing in his eyes – ravenous for answers. [break][break]

“You were down there with her.” A finger is jabbed in Melody’s direction; voice raised loud enough to be heard as a wave crashes overhead, spraying him and Anna with salt rain. “What the fuck happened?”

welcome to my table, bring your hunger

"no. you're the first one i found."

the lucario turns to out of the islands and barks after glitch maverick has made her suggestion. he barks and points at it for emphasis, though kyle doesn't need much to get what his pokemon was aiming for.

"looks like you're right."

he taps on his dragalge as a go signal as soon as he's certain the gym leader's guest got his lucario's message for assurance. with an unconscious phione on one hand and a smeargle on his back, kyle whispers a silent apology to his pokemon as it bears the weight of four individuals.

"smokescreen."

waters start to get murky and those above the surface gets covered with a curtain of smoke. it should deter the dangers from both the sea and the sky from haphazardly going for them. "y'know, just for safety," he explains to glitch maverick.

should that not work, at least it's an easy way for others to get their attention to them.

tl;dr:

lucario points them to the island where everyone else will be
dragalge uses smokescreen to cover them from noivern/sharpedo

angelo vestri likes this

Her concerns ricochet between the ruined remains of a sinking yacht, the glint of something awfully familiar clasped between tiny paws, and the image of a body floating in the ocean's merciless grasp, blue eyes dull and unseeing. Calloused fingers instinctively tighten their grip around one of Lapras' shell spikes at this last thought, the tremble of something soft and fragile fighting viciously against the walls of her ribcage. Begging to be let out.

Maybe she should go back. Return to the ship.

Captain Dross and Lapras break through the surface of the water in pursuit of the two Phione - and her concerns are momentarily put aside when the tiny pokemon do a sharp turn, weaving between large chunks of rock that protrude from the shallow waters. "Shit." Lapras is too large to navigate between the tightly packed rocks, and painstakingly slow against the nimble speed of the mythical pokemon.

It's as Skyler's jumping onto the closest rock, having made the decision to continue on foot, that a whistle of wind catches her attention - along with Lapras' pained cry. Silver eyes grow dagger-sharp, quickly finding the culprit against the bright blue sky.

@fay .

Recognition doesn't soften the violence that dawns within her, reflected in the darkening of her expression. And while hesitation would've been her response in any other situation, the flaming yacht casts a shadow of uncertainty and - fear. Not for herself, but...

It serves to sharpen the edge of her temper into something far less civilized.

Her finger twitches, and another pokemon is brought forth, changing places with Lapras. Electricity crackles along the slippery skin of Eelektross, its levitating form awaiting orders. "Make sure they don't follow us, Tross." Skyler doesn't allow herself to wait for the outcome of her command; she's barely done speaking before she's disappearing behind tall outcroppings of rock, following after Phione's earlier path. She'd seen the steel bird, the electricity, the water. A deadly combination.

Flickers of electricity dance over the surface of the water surrounding the electric type, its red eyes focusing on the metal bird as it approaches. Then, with a mighty swing of its arms it unleashes a THUNDER WAVE right at the Skarmory, uncaring if it hit the girl too.

Skyler's logic had been simple. She very much doubted that a paralyzed bird could fly. And a metallic bird in the water? It would be easy prey for anything that wandered by - including a certain Eelektross.

tl;dr:
- skyler's worried about ~~her love~~ angelo
- chases after the phione until they disappear into shallow waters between rock outcroppings
- realizes something attacked lapras, replaces it with eelektross
- continues chasing after the phione while eelektross uses thunder wave on skarmory

the lucario starts yapping as soon as he sees Emma Wolfe, angelo vestri and Melody Miro's fresh and moist carcass. only two of the auras can be discerned. he uses tailwind from the force from his use of psychic to part away the smokescreen like it's going to do anything with his aura detection, but nothing happens.

regardless, the lucario has no way of relaying that information to kyle because kyle isn't a psychic that can read his pokemon's minds.

"that's them!"

he urges his dragalge to rush forward, snapping a finger to wake up his lucario from its confusion before pointing a finger at a group. "heal pulse," he instructs.

pink aura starts to emanate from the lucario's palms, with kyle steadying his pokemon on his dragalge's back, before he starts to heal bomb all three of them with the move. as they get closer, kyle notices melody's unconsciousness.

"i'll try to get her to safety!" he shouts from a distance as his dragalge rushes them in. "you guys regroup the others!"

as he approaches, a noivern who had been following them finally finds sight of the smeargle who kept smacking him. the normal-type turns his head, sees it charging up a boomburst, and opens a portal with its shadow force. he pushes his trainer into it, who was trying to retrieve melody, and the champion dives into it with the corpse.

---

he looks around. the smeargle still clung on his shoulders, and he finds the sootopolis gym leader in his arms. immediately, he quickly addresses the one thing he was meant to address.

"wait, melody?"

he takes her pulse as they float into the void. nothing. shivers ran down his spine as he holds the dead gym leader, mildly panicking since he's uncertain of the next step to take.

should i get her to the mortuary immediately? show her corpse to her cousin?

questions start to fill his head as he experiences yet another new scenario on hoenn when he starts to feel warmth on his palms. soon enough, it blazes, engulfing melody's entire body with sacred fire. he feels a pulse afterwards.

"oh, shit."

tl;dr:

steals dead body
a wild noivern attacks. prompts smeargle to push kyle to a portal with shadow force
revives melody bc we need that prompt i guess
dragalge and lucario are stuck outside

♫Melody's theme

Warmth, the coldness that was once there began to vanish. Was she moving on? She didn't want to become a ghost haunting the ocean. But this didn't feel like the light that most people spoke of in their final moments. No this was different, her soul began to feel heavier and heavier until the light from kyle lopez 's hands came back into her body. The water that was in her body began to vanish as the fire evaporated it away. She coughed a bit before waking up and seeing kyle. What the fuck? Melody stared at him for a few moments before the realization hit her in the face. She had died, and now she was back? She screamed "KY-KYLE I FUCKING DIED." she screamed as she grabbed onto his shirt as she sobbed and screamed. Where the hell were they, did he die too? Was this some cruel trick? "There'ssomethinginthewater." [break][break]

She began to speak a mile a minute "It was dark, it was cold...oh my god..what happendiddidyoubringmeback?!Therewasanaraquanidand" it was obvious she could not calm down, she was useless right now as panic filled her body.

kyle remained daze, appearing more confused with the situation than Melody Miro was. he'd seen the miracle happen, but the fact that it did occur still hasn't registered in his head. the confusion hasn't manifested in an outburst however, as he responds to her in autopilot.

"y-yeah, i realized that much..."

he takes in everything she says, piecing events in his head together. she spews too much for him to answer when he himself has yet to realize what had happened.

there were too many unknown variables in the equations: the supposed quartz that exudes mysterious energy in the vicinity, the fact that they were in a different dimension, or that there may be other supernatural powers in play. his status as an avatar, however, wasn't too far off from one of such variables.

kyle holds her by her arms.

"are you okay? still hurt or something? do i need to bring you to the hospital for medical attention?" he asks his own questions, finding them a priority over working out a mystery. "your cousin's fine last time i checked. angelo and anna, too."

there were two other names he had not accounted for, and he's starting to get skittish to return back to make sure they're fine.

all of a sudden there were people there and then people gone. his excitement swelled as he saw melody, though the fact that she was limp and unmoving made his guts wrench tightly. had something happened? really and truly? this was supposed to be a simple and easy job that meant no one would end up get hurt. if they all just stuck to the fucking plan. but apparently other people had other plans. and he wasn't going to play along with them in the slightest. as he and slushie approached the beach as kyle lopez and Melody Miro disappeared. his leg seared in pain as he looked around confused.

"where did they go? where did he take melody?" he looked to angelo vestri for answers, knowing better than to ask emma for anything right now. speaking to her might have given away something. especially since he was probably looking at the reason that she was so fucking limp. the reason he suspected her body had probably gone cold.

- is not engaging in combat with league unless he absolutely has to to keep his cover, do not expect him to engage in pvp combat
