Oscar was getting pissed off. As he backed away from the conflict before him, he could tell that this was going downhill fast. This sentiment was solidified as a ghostly gardevoir appeared out of thin air. Oscar scowled at the sight of it, knowing full well the only reason it would leave its master's side. Extraction methods had been discussed ahead of time, but none of them involved leaving Lex behind. "She's got a lot of fucking nerve, sending you away while she's in trouble." If Lex thought Oscar was just gonna teleport out and think nothing of it, she had another thing coming!

A tidal wave appeared, distracting Oscar from the gardevoir. Thus he would be unable to protect her as a Gallade appeared to challenge it, though being a shadow pokemon she could surely fend for herself. Things got more complicated as another pair appeared, though with their reaction to the surf he would find an opportunity. 

Oscar made sure to position himself behind the 'water bender', protecting himself from being pulled away by the wave. Yet as he looked upon the current, he would find Rowan passing by him. Oscar rolled his eyes, shaking his hand as it regained feeling. He looked to Robbie, "Keep them busy. Follow in five.

Oscar dove into the current, keeping himself straight as he followed Rowan. He bumped into a few rocks himself, but he didn't get nearly as hurt as poor Rowan did. Damn kid seemed to hit every fucking obstacle in their way, mitigating the threat they posed to the beast. When the water subsided, Oscar would be nearby to help. He pushed himself up slowly, sighing as his entire body screeched with fatigue. There was no rest for the weary though, Oscar ran to Rowan's side and kneeled down to meet him. "Hang in there grunt, we're getting out of here soon." Oscar looked up, waiting for the gardevoir to catch up--because he knew she would.

Meanwhile Robbie Rotten, the most nefarious of all dragons, avoided the surf by staying behind the new duo as well. He was fully prepared to continue fighting that bastard sword when a switch had apparently taken place. His opponent now faced Bisharp, who was currently wading through the surf as if it were an inconvenience. Meanwhile a gallade had challenged Robbie, and he could not help smirk at the quaintness. He watched as King began to loose his footing, unable to withstand the full force of the surf alone--which is when he got delectable idea.

Robbie looked to the gallade, giving him a large wink before bursting into light. As the light faded, the gallade would find a soaked King the bisharp standing where the ultra-beast once floated (Ally Switch). King locked eyes with the gallade, absolutely pissed that it bailed on their fight. He charged forward, his lance spinning wildly as he tried to violently skewer the coward (Drill Peck). Robbie would reappear floating above where King stood, taunting the aeigislash by wiggling his thorax. Mid wiggle his syringe would spark before firing a cascade of lightning bolts toward the blade and its master (Thunderbolt). 

tl;dr
Oscar dove into the Surf to follow Rowan, unknowingly using the grunt to take on the obstacles in their path. 
Oscar is waiting by Rowan for the gardevoir to catch up, though he is not eager to leave Lex behind.
Robbie Rotten used Ally Switch, switching places with King.
King used Drill Peck on Gareth.
Robbie used Thunderbolt on Ageislash.

THIS IS THE DAWN OF WAR, WE'RE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR
[break]
I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

Umber just chuckles at her work not seeming to care that some new people came in to move her water away. Rude. Though even crueler than that her friends washed away. Now that wasn't very fair now was it? The trainer always said to keep an eye on friends. Getting on all fours the Blocking pokemon runs after those that were washed away not caring much for the fight her enemies were doing. They haven't asked anything of her so clearly they were fine. Once she sees her friends again she opens her mouth for an ICE BEAM so they couldn't get away.



[break]

Razz was sure he felt a crunch when he first landed on his shoulder, a pain cry escaping him as his body rolled to a stop. While everything hurt it was his shoulder he couldn't help but grab onto trying to bite back his pain. If there were a medic to see it they would note it having been knocked out of socket rather than broken. "m'Fine," he lies through gritted teeth clearly in pain but there were more important matters. He only gets a second to see the Gardevoir before she escapes without her trainer. [break][break]

"Forget me," he grumbles as he forces himself up to his knees his arm still in great pain. He tells himself that he's felt worse, its what gets him through it as he grabs a pair of cuffs from one of the pouches he carries, "Apprehend her while we can still," he pleads as he tries to hand the cuffs off before grabbing onto his arm again to ensure it didn't move more and make things worse. "Currant! make sure she doesn't leave!" he orders the rotom who just gives a laugh as they hover above the Rocket thief for now seeming to enjoy the pain they caused. [break][break]



[break]

Royal was hurting, it was clear his form wasn't going to hold on much longer. Though now that his opponent was worn out from their previous attack now was the time to end this. Royal seems to apologize as this was not an honorable way for their fight to go. But this wasn't a fight for fun, this was a war and from what he knew of his trainer it was a tad more personal. From his legs Royal summons up his WATER SHURIKEN and with the Battle Bond making them stronger the Greninja would throw one, then another again and again they would strike their opponent. [break][break]

[break]


After the barrage Royal would take out a watery dark blade once more before giving a final slice with the use of NIGHT SLASH to try and finish off the other. As it backs away the Greninja doing it's best to keep up their mega form for now despite the strain wearing him down more. If the other was still standing after this Royal would warn them to leave now as he did not want to take this fight further.

[break]+ Royal takes advantage of how the other Greninja can't move to attack with multiple WATER SHURIKEN, then do a finishing NIGHT SLASH follow up.
[break]+ Worn down Royal tells the other greninja to leave so they don't take this fight further.

Lex managed to catch a glimpse of the Gardevoir before she vanished, and he own vision began to blur. The dark electricity that pulsed through her was too much for a human body to manage. Her heart raced dangerously fast, too fast. As the electricity began to fade, her body surrendered to the exhaustion. Her vision went black, mind went blank, and the prisoner fell unconscious.

The combination of Lex’s distress and the rippling electricity cracked open two of the pokeballs on her waist. A flash of blinding light lit up the surrounding darkness. The ear-piercing scream of a furious Braviary shook the air. A flurry of feathers and wind kicked the raptor up and off the ground. His heart raced from the adrenaline pumped into his veins by Lex’s screams. His charge was protection. He seemed to failing miserably. His KEEN EYES peered through the darkness, falling on the silhouette of two humans. In a blind rage he failed to notice the Rotom hovering over his master. All the Braviary saw was red as another scream left his beak. A flash of long, sharp talons shot out from the darkness, snapping at whatever he could grab (CRUSH CLAW).

Another form materialized from the flash of light. A yellow fox rolled his shoulders, claws gripping into the rocky ground. His lips curled back, bearing sharp canine and letting loose a low growl at the Rotom in front of him. His body crouched protectively over his trainer. His eye glowed a bright pink, the spoons clutched in his fists mirrored their color. The Alakazam let loose a psychic blast, the CONFUSION aiming to shatter the corrupted pokemon’s mind so it was left frantically picking up the pieces.




Shadow Gardevoir reappeared in her previous location. She could have been stunned by what she saw, if that was an emotion she was capable of. They had really made a mess of the place. Instead, her gaze critically analyzed the pieces of the chess board.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t given much time to herself. A powerful presence pressed upon her consciousness. She recognized the stubborn, valiant, annoying aura of the Gallade as he flew towards her. She tensed, only her eyes flickering towards the psychic-type blur as his body came crashing into hers. The Gardevoir’s ghostly form spun through the air. A few wild summersaults before her long arms shot out from her sides, slowing her progress and bringing her upright. A pair of pale pink eyes glared back at the Gallade as she rose into the air. Their intensity deepened. The air around her began to shine brilliantly as the flash of sparkles dancing across the cave like a disco ball.

The DAZZLING GLEAM burst from her towards the masses below, a blinding light that carried with it the mysterious fairy-type power unique to her previous typing.

tl;dr: Lex passes out – bye bby. The Electro Web stimulates two pokeballs to open. Sahir the Alakazam defensively stand over Lex and blasts Currant with CONFUSION. Aubie, the Braviary, emerges furious and immediately pursues and with a wild CRUSH CLAW, just aiming to grab whatever he can. S!Gardevoir is smacked by Mega-Gawain. She attempts to blind pretty much everyone with a DAZZLING GLEAM, forcing them to regroup and chill the fuck out. (, , , )

    “I’ll be fine.” Rowan lied, underplaying the severity of his wound in an effort to keep ‘s focus on the combat at hand. Mako moved across the space between them with a renewed vigor at seeing their trainer injured, opening his serrated maw wide to Crunch the end of the stalagmite. “Thanks.” The Sharpedo stood vigilant as Rowan lifted himself off the broken rock, freeing him from the impalement, though allowing for the free flow of blood in the process. “Keep that Obstagoon off us, Mako.” Rowan tore the sleeve off his jacket and began to create a tourniquet around his leg, knotting the fabric tight enough to stop himself from bleeding out in this cave.

    The beam of ice shot towards Rowan and Oscar, forcing Mako into action despite the desire to remain close to their injured trainer. Rough skin allowed the Sharpedo to dive directly into the current of the attack, swimming against the beam until they reached the enemy Pokemon, protecting the two humans from the assault. Shining energy gathered at the end of Mako’s dorsal fin, sharpening the appendage and allowing them to strike against the Obstagoon with Slash.

    Kotaro could only defend himself as the attacks came his way, burdened by the unfortunate need to recover his strength. Shuriken rained down upon him, slicing his flesh from the sharpened water, small trickles of blood streaming down his arms. “Hnng…” The Greninja wasn’t about to give up so easily, this battle was a matter of pride and backing down wasn’t an option. Night Slash struck its mark, forcing Kotaro once again into the cavern wall with the heavy force of the attack.

    Now was the time for retaliation, there was nothing standing in his way with his strength returning despite the onslaught. Kotaro pushed off the wall with incredible speed, leaping through the air and shooting off a series of Water Shuriken at his opponent while in trajectory to his new destination. Should Royal have a keen enough eye, they’d notice that Kotaro’s shadow stayed behind on the spot where he once was, lashing out with a Shadow Sneak to strike him from both sides.


Notes: Sharpedo used Crunch to break the tip off the stalagmite that was impaling Rowan's leg. Sharpedo took the Ice Beam head on and used Slash on Obstagoon. Kotaro took both attacks from Royal, then retaliated with Water Shuriken and Shadow Sneak.

The sword didn't particularly care who stepped up to be skewered. Lightning arced through the air, and the Aegislash disappeared into its own shadow(shadow sneak) in response. She popped up from the ceiling in front of the Naganadel a second later, hovering over its oversized proboscis and thrusting her shield at its nose like a hammer (Iron Head).

For his part, Gwyar was moving long before the dragon finished taunting, leaving the Aegislash to deal with it while he... well, did something about everything going on, presumably. With the crashing water, fighting going on all around him, it was hard to decide on one's next move.

But he already had a path before him; The Ghostly Gardevoir's return alone meant a single thing: One of the rockets was already captured.

Only two more.

"Anderson." He spoke directly to over the comm in his ear. "We've got one. Let's secure the two remaining- seal the entrance."

The man palmed another pokeball, before sending out his Arcanine. The large beast appeared, and though Gwyar knew the current circumstances weren't ideal, there was no helping it. He swung his body atop it, nodding towards the Rockets in the distance.

"Extreme Speed."




The Gardevoir glared at Gawain.

He met her gleaming gaze with his own and Hypnosis.

She gleamed terribly brightly, blindingly so- but Gawain did not look away, eyes burning and vision blurring as he continued to assail her with Hypnosis.

[attr="class","light"]it all happened so fast. 's capture, 's injury, the escaped pokemon, and the call of more. what was more important? the fragment or 's safety? a choice many in his field would find to be more simple and logical: the fragment. but that wasn't 's choice. he wasn't like the others that placed science above all else.

so that's why he chose to place the capture of and the fragment beneath him. for took priority over all else. hence why, when the braviary was aiming for one or the other, zenji took the brunt of it all. zenji would mesh 's head into his chest while utilizing his other hand to hold the youth's body. together they would fall to the ground in a attempt to dodge the braviary's powerful crush claw.

disrupting the pokemon's chance at snagging one of the two. zenji would not go unpunished in his attempt to defy the braviary. the braviary's bottom tslon would come to place a large gash upon zenji's back. causing the head scientist to develop a diagnol open-wound that would bleed profusely. he was toppled over while blood spat up from his gullet.

huffing, he'd ask, "didn't i...tell you to take...care–⁠" he'd spit up a small bit of blood from his mouth, some of it accidentally falling upon the youth's cloth that covered his scarred eye. the wound was deep, but zenji would use all his strength to press on. just how long did he have to until his inevitable collapse?

note: ,

- zenji protected
- received a critical injury from the braviary
- is barely holding on and is trying to remain concious

Umber didn't seem to care as the Sharpedo came in for the attack through her ICE BEAM. They were hit by it and the FROST BITE will take them too. Making them slower and putting their temperature so low it would feel as if they were burning. She laughs as the takes slash hits her chest forcing her to step back a few times as her earlier injuries were taking their toll. If it weren't for the Cave giving her a bit of a boost she might have already been down. Though it seems like her corruption was beneficial in more ways her trainer could ever imagine. [break][break]

Play play play. [break][break]

That's all she wanted to do with her new friends. The concept that the shark pokemon was protecting their trainer meant little. Especially as she runs in for a SLASH attack of her own. Ice typing thanks to her REFRIGERATE ability. Umber would do more but she was wearing down. [break][break]



[break]

Not wanting to mess with his injury more Razz doesn't turn as the woman's pain scream finally stops. All he could do was hope that she was out. Though the found of pokeballs opening was all to familiar to him. Shit! He needed to protect the professor. Being right handed he would've tried to push the professor out of the way, but the painful reminder that his shoulder had been dislocated hit like a dagger. All he could do is release a pained cry as his plan to push out of the line of fire failed. Instead the professor protected him, bringing the younger man in before he would cover them both with his body. Razz could only watch in horror as the Crush Claw dung into Zenji's back. The ranger could feel the blood drip onto him as they asked about taking care. [break][break]

"I-idoit I came down here to protect you! I'm a dime a dozen you're the important one here!" Razz protest clearly upset with the other but there was also worry there. There were plenty of Rangers but only two head Scientists, both of which could do more for this region than he ever could. In rage Razz felt his hands heat up, the fire in him wanting to be let loose but for now he'll keep the faucet closed. Right now he had two pokemon to deal with, and lucky for him Currant had the advantage. "Currant Discharge!"[break][break]

There was a pained noise that came from the black and blue Rotom as Confused was used against them. Two on one? They liked those odds as the order the shadow pokemon give cackle spinning their arms as if they were a spinning top before unleashing a DISCHARGE with their Black Lightning at both the Alakazam and Braviary. [break][break]

After giving the other, Razz would grunt through the pain Razz would throw over his left arm over the other before using his left arm and weight to roll the other over to his side. Right now adrenalin forcing him through the pain of his right shoulder as Razz rolled them both to the left. Razz would remove the headband that covered his face to remove the blood from his face and try to cover the wound at least a bit. "You better survive through this damn it" [break][break]



[break]

It seems the other didn't want to take his advice. The fool this was not honorable battle couldn't they see that? Pride would get the other killed one of these days. Though it wasn't like Royal was fairing much better, while they still had some movement to avoid a few of the Shurikens that came at him more of them hit their mark. To avoid more Royal brings up his arms as he uses DOUBLE TEAM to seemingly create clones of himself to make it confusing as to what was real and what was not. [break][break]

The defensive maneuver saving him from the Shadow Sneak that was coming at either side of him as the attack went through the fake copy. Seems like he was going to need to push himself further. He could feel a strain in his body as it seemed to want to revert back to form. For now he tries to focus on the same energy the other greninja did to keep it up for just a bit longer rather than focusing on the bond between himself and his trainer. Focused Royal and his clones would go in for AERIAL ACE, hopefully the other couldn't sense which of them was real.

Okay, so right place, wrong time—

Just as his Gallade thought he was going to be able to get a break after attempting a switch with the Aegislash, everything had gone to shit as he was—he was facing the Bisharp again!

Coming in too fast, too soon with a spinning body like a drill, the Gallade barely had time to throw up a defensive Protect screen before getting knocked back, and eventually yeeted backwards as the screen shattered—it was too close a call, not to mention far too late before the Gallade was knocked backwards, sent flying by the force of the attack—

And the Gardevoir, Lars’s Gardevoir mind, let out a shriek—a shriek only Lars heard in his head.

“Lynette, calm down!” he shouted as he stuffed his fingers in his ears; but wait a second what was going on with her—why the hell was she glowing? Wait a second—

The Gardevoir’s rage was fueling something, she was reacting with something in the cave—and a bright light exploded out from her form, eventually revealing…

“What the—fuck?!” he exclaimed as he saw that his Gardevoir had changed form and yet he was sure he did not have the catalyst to fuel her change unlike how Alpha and Ro had theirs—

The suddenly-Mega evolved Gardevoir then turned a singular eye on the Bisharp, unafraid of facing down the one that had thrown her ‘partner’ across the cave and quickly summoned a sudden burst of lunar energy before lobbing it full-force in the Bisharp’s direction.

Lars recognized the attack as her Moonblast, and he had to shake his head a few times to get rid of the ringing that was still in his ears.

“Lynette—keep them busy!” he shouted as he scanned the cave, looking for where the Gallade had been sent flying.

He didn’t know where the hell his Gallade had been thrown off to, as a sudden burst of light went off, similar to a flash grenade, and he had to blink once, twice—several times, in fact—

Crap, this situation was going south in a matter of seconds.

“Give me a bit, but alright!” he said to the other voice in his earpiece, pulling a random Pokéball out of his pocket and throwing it towards where he was sure the direction of the cave entrance was.

Seal the cave? He had one way of doing that—

A few moments later, the cave floor thudded with the impact of his silver Metagross, Ro, appearing.

“Block the entrance! Don’t let anyone out!” he shouted as he was still trying to recover his eyesight. Damn, this was why he hated flash grenades!

The silver Metagross leered at the people in the cave and then released a powerful burst of Telekinesis, an attempt to shove back whoever was attempting to make a break for the cave entrance—and exit.



• Whoops, Gareth isn’t fast enough
• Gallade used a Protect however the attack connected before the barrier fully appeared
• And Gareth gets yeeted somewhere
Oh shit, you angered the Witch (Lars’s Gardevoir)
Due to the energies in the cave, Lars’s Gardevoir Mega-evolves without a mega stone
• M!Gardevoir then turns her attention to the Bisharp, before conjuring up the biggest Moonblast she can throw at its direction
• Gets word to block off the only entrance
• And then the flashbang from the other Gardevoir (Dazzling Gleam) goes off and he gets a faceful of the bright light
This is why he hates fucking flash grenades!
• Blindly grabs a random Pokéball in his pocket and throws it out of the range of the ‘flashbang’ going off
• Ro the Metagross appears, a solitary silver figure
• The Metagross then blocks the way out and uses a burst of Telekinetic energy to repel anyone who would make a rush for the cave entrance back inside

Oscar smirked as Rowan claimed he'll be 'fine'. "Bitch you have a rock in your leg." Oscar said plainly as he watched the sharpedo make its way to them. The tough jawed shark helped mitigate the stone's presence, but there was no doubt that Rowan was fucked if he didn't get some medical attention soon. 

Of course that was the least of their problems, as the meddlesome Obstagoon from earlier had followed them. As the ice beam was sent, Oscar was prepared to throw himself in front of Rowan to keep the greenhorn safe. Mostly out of pity then some sort of sense of duty, fucker has taken too many hits as it was. Luckily it didn't come to that, as the sharpedo bravely launched itself forward to tank the hit. Oscar gave the apex predator a salute before clapping loudly. It may have seemed he was applauding the shark, but in fact he was signaling his two pokemon to return to him.

Robbie didn't know what he expected when he attacked the Aegislash. It wasn't getting smashed in the face with a shield out of nowhere that's for sure. The draconic fiend flew backward, holding his snout as he let out a pained roar. His vison was blurred and his mind was scattered, every inch of his body shook as his nerves screamed. As his vison cleared, he would glare at his opponent and prepare to retaliate. Except the fun was over, his master's clapping was loud and clear--it would be a dire mistake to ignore him. Robbie Rotten raised his middle claw at the sword before flapping his wings and using a Dragon Pulse  aimed at the haughty blade to propel himself backward. He spun around in mid-air, gaining speed as he flew to his master.

King was satisfied to see his attack land successfully. He watched his opponent fly backward, straightening himself as he prepared to follow. He didn't get the chance however, as a grand light soon caught his attention. He had little time to react as the Moonblast hurdled toward him. So he did nothing, sometimes it was just better to take the hit. The blast was painful, fueled by the league gardevoir's rage. It threw the bisharp backward, an impressive feat given his weight. He tumbled across the ground several times over, smoke radiating off his body. Yet he would not allow himself to look the fool, slamming his lance into the ground to cease his rolling. 

King was a durable creature, but that Moonblast surely should have spent most of his stamina. Not this time however, as the bisharp's pain twisted into power. The dark knight slowly rose, the smoke on its body turning red and sinking into his metallic flesh. A force radiated through this cave, and while it took its time making its way to King he would finally feel its embrace. King screeched at the gardevoir, energy radiating off his form as he prepared to punish her for that pathetic attempt to humble him!

Alas, it was not meant to be. King heard his master clapping, a call to retreat. It disgusted King to leave these wretches alive, but he could not defy his master's orders. The gardevoir was safe--for now. King disappeared, running at staggering speeds to his master's side (Extreme Speed). Coincidentally, he'd probably make it there at the same time as a certain arcanine riding do-gooder.

tl;dr
Oscar is calling his pokemon back so that they can retreat.
Robbie Rotten was slammed in the face with a shield, and used a dragon pulse to get himself the fuck away from Aegislash.
Empowered by Primal Energy at last, King took on the Moonblast but returned to his master with Extreme Speed before he could continue the fight.

The Braviary’s talon tore through soft skin like butter. The warmth that settled on the tips of his claws wasn’t enough satisfaction for the state of his trainer. He was looking for blood, more blood. One human was still left unscathed thanks to the other. Another sharp screech reverberated off the walls of the narrow cavern. Frustration fueled his impulse. His pectorals flexed to beat his wings, another attack on the humans imminent.

A jolting wave of electricity crackled through his body, stopping him in his tracks. The same dark electricity coursed through the Alakazam, sending him reeling back as his muscle stiffened in defiance against the DISCHARGE’s onslaught. Unlike his teammate, the Braviary was not left paralyzed. Instead, his fury only grew. He was at a clear disadvantage against the dual type, but that didn’t matter. His defiant and stubborn lineage wouldn’t allow him to back down, especially not when Lex was on the line. His body turned rapidly, falling towards the Rotom in a short burst of an AERIAL ACE. Although it wasn’t much, he wasn’t going to quit defending his charge until forced to do so.

tl;dr: Kinda splitting my reply into two. This one focuses on the back of the cave. Both Sahir and Aubie are fried by DISCHARGE. Sahir is paralyzed and is unable to Teleport despite his efforts. Aubie, in typical Braviary fashion, will defend his master till the end. He charges Currant with AERIAL ACE.

    Rowan’s vision was blurred but he couldn’t mistake that this entire thing had turned into an irrideemable fucking mess right before his eyes. Injuries were running rampant among their ranks and it was only a matter of time before the League sent reinforcements to aid in their inevitable capture. The only choice now was to escape while they still could, even though was still missing in action deep after delving deep into the Cave of Origin. Rowan didn’t feel pleased about leaving one of their own behind, but he’d sacrificed so much for his freedom already, he wasn’t about to give up what he’d been so desperate to attain.

    “We need to go.” He muttered weakly towards , utilizing a nearby rock formation to shakily push himself into a standing position. “This operation is a failure.” Kotaro was nowhere to be seen, but he expected the Greninja could handle himself and secure an exit either with or without them. “Mako!” The Sharpedo snarled at Umber when the Slash struck him back, prepared to attack again until they heard the voice of their trainer. A sudden burst of Agility allowed the Pokemon to easily return to Rowan’s side in mere seconds, being recalled to their Pokeball. “I have an idea to buy us time, but you might want to cover your ears.”

    Rowan wouldn’t wait for any protest from his comrade, releasing his Seismitoad from her Pokeball and pointing towards the remaining enemies and their Pokemon. “Heket, Hyper Voice!” Hands immediately reached up to cover his ears once the command was issued, watching as the Seismitoad took in a deep breath and let out a deafening drone throughout the entrance of the cavern in the form of Hyper Voice. Rocks shook and debris fell from the ceiling as the sound crashed against the walls, reverberating back and forth through the chamber in an attempt to consume their enemies within the attack.



    Kotaro huffed with exhaustion, beginning to feel the extreme toll that Mega Evolution had on one’s body. The Greninja watched as some of the shuriken struck their mark, though his Shadow Sneak wasn’t so fortunate as the enemy used Double Team to create a series of illusory clones to avoid the attack. Royal and his dopplegangers moved in for an attack of their own, leaving Kotaro to be forced to guess which one was the real enemy and to dodge their attack. Unfortunately the one he’d chosen to avoid was one of the fakes, their Aerial Ace striking home and slamming him against the wall once more, this time with the sickening pop of a limb being forced out of socket.

    He couldn’t keep going on like this, as much as he wanted to prove himself superior to this Greninja. It wasn’t until he heard the echoing drone further up the cave that something had gone wrong with his trainer, forcing him to decide between his pride and the person he was sworn to protect. With a look towards Royal that said ‘This isn’t over’, smoke billowed out from all around Kotaro to create a Smokescreen from which to escape. Using what little speed was still afforded to him by the Mega Evolution, he leapt from surface to surface back to the entrance, duty bound to defend Rowan.


    Notes: Mako was struck by Slash, used Agility to return to Rowan. Rowan brought out Seismitoad and used Hyper Voice on their opponents. Kotaro was struck by Aerial Ace and dislocated his arm, then used Smokescreen to disappear and return to the cavern entrance.

[attr="class","light"]zenji's concious slowly began to fade. his position left him wondering as to when exactly was the last time he had been in such a pitiful state. a former gangster in his youth somehow lived to see such a day like this. a day when he'd place his own life in the way to save another. but that was how zenji had always been. growing up, and even now, he would always place others before himself.

on the outside his exterior, physically at the least, seemed cold and distant. even though he had a tendency to be lazy and didn't exactly enjoy being around others. he was probably the only man, so far as he knew, that held such a strong heart for others. it was ironic really.

it's so loud, he thought to himself.

all he wanted to do was sleep. for now that was what he would do. he had faith in the others to proceed. for now the head scientist would take a slight respite. but, before doing so, he would whisper to his porygon one order.

"find the fragment."

he would entrust this objective to porygon. it had enough capability to run on autopilot and hunt the source of what they came for. if porygon could find it, it would be sure to return. if not, it would still return if proven unsuccessful. "ah, and one more thing," he lowly said, "upload the data we've obtained so far back to our home database." and with that he'd leave the rest to porygon and fellow league members.

note: ,

- zenji ordered porygon to continue hunting for the fragment for a little while longer, hoping it would locate it.
- he would give one more order and told the porygon to upload what they've found so far back to evol's database for later purpose.
- he would fall unconscious.
- zenji outtie!

I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

At the attack from the Seismitoad all Umber could do was bring her arms up to defend herself. Umber was knocked back and fell to the ground with the sheer force from the soundwave the large toad gave. It would take her some time to get back properly to her hands and feet. The Obstagoon shakes herself like a dog to get the water off her fur as the others used their opening to escape. For now her focus would need to be to avoid the falling rocks of the chamber. Eventually she would use ICE BEAM to stop the cave from caving in. [break][break]


[break]

Currant takes the hit from the annoying bird, it seems upset because how dare but there is a clear excitement too. They were disappointed by the psychic pokemon seeming to go down so easily already paralyzed. "Finish them Currant, I want all of them out!" he orders his anger slipping through after what the Braviary did to Zenji. Once more he could feel his hands heating up. He just hopes as he is trying to stop the bleeding Zenji isn't feeling the heat. [break][break]

The Corrupted Rotom once more spins before launching another ELECTROWEB this time at the bird in an attempt to not only electrocute it but tie its wings up and send it crashing down. After which it would follow up with one more DISCHARGE to strike the two pokemon there. [break][break]


[break]

Royal is breathing heavily as the other Greninja takes the hit. Before it seems finally their battle was over once the other promises that their rivalry wasn't over. Only after would they buzz off with a Smokescreen did Royal finally release the energy from their body going back to their natural state. His body was sore over having to keep up the form in order to continue the match. He desperately wanted to return to his trainer, see if he was okay but for now he'll have to put his trust in the others he brought with them as the royal ninja would fall over with knocked out eyes, clearly unable to continue further.

The Braviary’s AERIAL ACE strikes true, but Currant is too strong for the flying-type and its dark electricity is too powerful. Almost immediately after his attack, Aubie found himself convulsing with another shock of electricity. This time, the ELECTROWEB successfully pinned down his wings. The raptor struggled, crashing to the ground in a fit of rage. His piercing screech was cut short by the DISCHARGE, a final zap of the dark electricity left him unconscious and limp on the cavern floor beside his trainer.

Sahir watches in bitter horror. His body is unwillingly to obey his commands. He’s trapped within the confines of his mind, unable to help in any way. All he can do is watch helplessly as Aubie falls to the floor and all hope for freeing their trainer is lost.




Gawain’s valiant effort at a HYPNOSIS fell short this time around. The brilliant blast of the DAZZLING GLEAM impeded the psychic energy from taking a grip on her consciousness. In the after wake of the fairy-type attack, she is surprised to see a fellow Gardevoir assaulting her shadow-kin with a powerful MOONBLST. The Bisharp stood resolute in its wake. If the Gardevoir could feel pride, that may have been the emotion she associated with the Shadow Bisharp.

A crimson gaze shifts down to her charges. They had gathered together, a severally injured boy, a masked man, and their pokemon. The specter floated down to the sides. Her long, spidery fingers curled around ’s and ’s shoulders. A moment of stillness warned them of her intentions. Whatever pokemon they had to retrieve would need to be retrieved now.




In a flash of light, the small group disappeared. Psychic energy tore them through space until spitting them out in the living room of Lex’s Lavaridge home. Gardevoir immediately diverted her attention from them. Her first objective was complete. Now, to find .

tl;dr: Braviary faints, Alakazam is still PARALYZED. Gardevoir does not succumb to the HYPNOSIS this time, her DAZZLING GLEAM helps disrupt its effects. She fulfills her objective by TELEPORTING and to Lex and Killian’s home in Lavaridge. Surprise, !

    Kotaro landed in the cavern entrance, having already prepared himself against the deafening sound that radiated from the Seismitoad. The Greninja perched atop the machine their trainer had taken an interest in earlier, seeing that despite the frenzied combat that had taken place the device seemed to still be relatively untouched. An opportunity arose for them to provide reparations for abandoning Rowan in the name of pride, reaching up with their other arm and forcing the dislocated one back into place with a sharp pop.

    Hopping off the machine, Kotaro gripped onto it with both hands and lifted the device above their head. A knowing glance was given to their trainer, assuring Rowan that he’d be fine escaping on his own. With the strength that remained in his system from the Cave of Origin, Kotaro leapt towards the entrance with a specifically timed Feint Attack that allowed him to harmlessly bypass the psychic energies of Metagross now that they had no effect. With that, Kotaro and the machine were gone, already disappearing into the terrain around the Cave of Origin.

    Rowan watched Kotaro depart with a sigh of relief as the Gardevoir gathered around himself and , prepared to be transported with Teleport for the first time in his life. Shouldn’t be so bad, right? Heket was returned to her Pokeball mere moments before they disappeared, the sounds of Hyper Voice finally dying out once the members of Team Rocket had absconded.

    Immediately after arriving at their destination, Rowan collapsed to his knees on the floor of ‘s house, grabbing onto the nearest trash can and unceremoniously hurling his stomach contents into the container. “Teleporting...fucking...sucks…” Not only that, he was dangerously close to slipping into unconsciousness thanks to the loss of blood, leaving what remained of his life in the hands of .

Notes: Kotaro picked up the Wrynn Machine and took off for the entrance, using Feint Attack on Ro to bypass the psychic force preventing him from leaving, then disappeared into the landscape. Rowan recalled Heket and was teleported with Oscar to Lex's apartment, where he immediately barfed into her trash can. Now he's dying, pwog.
