To her pleasant surprise, grumbles but follows her without much resistance. In the end, she supposes anyone with a clear train of thought and a decent amount of experience would know better than to stand their grounds against danger clearly capable of destroying them.

The Cinccino is thrown up onto the battlefield, a sharp chirp and chitter signalling all hands on deck as he slaps his own cheeks. Then, he claps his own hands together, cheering and dancing as he lends a Helping Hand. On the other hand, Reiner is already getting onto the same wavelength as Eris, his fur rustling with a surge of electricity as it crackles through his mane. Then, he releases the static towards the approaching Melmetal, aiming to paralyse it or at the very least, slow its movements.

Her eyes to and his Blaziken, a brief flash of worry causing her to tense up at how close he is to the giant. Sure, sacrifices must be made for the sake of scientific progress but she can't help but wonder if he had sacrificed a few screws in his head to have placed himself right in front of the specimen to be examined. Either way, how he conducts himself isn't of great importance to her. Questionable as his actions may be, she can simply deny any and all knowledge of what he's doing if asked.

Tl;dr - Latte (Cinccino) uses HELPING HAND, all pokemon on field are considered its allies (except melmetal pls)[break]
Reiner (Luxray) uses THUNDER WAVE on Melmetal to paralyse or slow it down

he was confused and extremely concerned about how things had suddenly begun to go south again on one of these fucking excursions. one moment he was being gently hugged by a bunch of these little dudes and suddenly the hugging got a lot stronger. and a lot more painful. "ow... a little bit rough there guys." he tried to wiggle his leg free, only to find that there was something strange going on. he couldn't move his leg away from their iron grip. his nervous laughter turned into pained sounds turned into a loud shriek as he felt his leg being crushed underneath the combined weight and pressure from the meltans that had yet to join the large grouping of them.

blood began to leak from the few spaces that had been between the meltan as he dropped the one he had been holding. as soon as it joined the pile of them the pressure on his leg began to release. unfortunately that meant that the only thing that was holding his weakened leg was gone and he collapsed onto the ground, blood dripping from his crushed leg and pooling on the ground as it were. "b-blood..." he didn't feel the pain really. he didn't feel anything. he wondered if that was what happened when your body went into shock? but weren't you supposed to feel cold? and he didn't really feel anything at all. except for dizzy.

- check off that injury bbys

Melmetal is struck by the surge of attacks as it lumbers towards the party. Including Thunder Wave from which appears to slow it down momentarily. But after its slow reeling finishes, it's back at it. The creature winds back one arm, then another arm, before it attacks with Double Iron Bash, its arms spinning around like a top as it surges forward, even faster than before. The Paralysis is quickly shrugged off by the sheer force of its power, as it advances on the party.

Josh's Charizard is hit and sent reeling back, while Lightning is struck by debris from the junkyard that the Melmetal is kicking up and sending to and fro with its attack. Josh is forced to dive out of the way as the thing nearly collides into him. This was bad... If they didn't end this soon, it could escape the area and rampage through the nearby city. And the junk it was kicking up in droves was flying everywhere.

Knowing he needed to take precautions, Josh brought up the holographic interface on his HoloWatch and made a call to a RaiCorp agent in the area.

"Sending you coordinates. I need you to ensure bystanders aren't anywhere close to here and aren't struck by anything flying -- or worse. Code Red. We don't have any Rangers to spare right now."

- Melmetal takes damage and uses Double Iron Bash and spins itself forward, charging at the party and threatening to run over everything in its wake.
- Melmetal shrugs off Paralysis.
- Melmetal's Double Iron Bash sends the junk flying everywhere with missile-like speed, threatening to hit the party and potential bystanders a mile off.
- Fawkes and Lightning take damage.
- Josh calls representatives from RaiCorp to clear the surrounding area so no bystanders are harmed.

Hideo followed into cover, a good distance away from the ensuing battle. And, fortunately, away from the flying debris. It was going to be a little awkward directing a battle all the way from this distance - Aaron probably wouldn’t even hear him when the fighting got thick. But he had a workaround for that; he took out his spare (occupied) Pokeball, letting out the Beheeyem within.

Elga took one look at the ensuing fight, then at his trainer. Hideo could feel the concern from Elga’s Telepathy, and the urge for them to leave. “Can’t really leave now, Elga,” Hideo protested, “Just help me help Aaron win this.” And maybe take something home with him after this was done.

If this Melmetal was as tough as it sounded, then Hideo would have to let Aaron go loose. He reached into his pocket, grabbing his Mega Bracelet. But as he took it out, his Rotomdex spoke. “Woowee, that’s one heck of a mega!

Hideo paused for a moment, Mega Bracelet in hand. “Did someone else make their Pokemon Mega Evolve?

Well, yeah. Blonde Babysitter here made his Charizard evolve. But I meant your Aggron.

Hideo could guess that the “blonde babysitter” was the man helping direct them ( ). But he was still caught off guard by the last part. “Wait, really? But I didn’t even activate it. I thought they only go mega when we let them.” But as Elga soon confirmed for him, his Aggron did indeed Mega Evolve the moment it got in close range of the Melmetal. Even said Aggron was surprised, but shook it off and returned his focus to the enemy at hand.

Well if you didn’t do it, then I don’t know what did.

Hideo grumbled. Wasn’t really the time to argue over that. “Elga, tell Aaron to whack it with his tail.” With a quick confirmation, the order was telepathically relayed over, and the Mega Aggron smacked the Melmetal with an Iron Tail.

Though that attack definitely did some damage, it also drew the Melmetal’s attention to Aaron. It delivered an uncharacteristically-swift Brick Break to Aaron, who just managed to block it with an arm. Yet that blow was still enough to push the near-half-ton Mega Aggron back a couple meters.

For a brief moment, Hideo got distracted by what sounded like a scream. “What was that?” Hideo asked his Beheeyem. Elga looked over at the source ( ), and after a quick moment of deliberation, gave a vague answer - he wasn’t sure. “Weird.

Of course, he knew exactly what had happened. But he didn’t want Hideo to get distressed over something he had no way of helping.


Summary
- Hideo lets out his Beheeyem.
- Just as Hideo is about to manually evolve his Aggron, the excess primal energy forces him to mega evolve (objective complete)
- Mega Aggron hits the Melmetal with Iron Tail.  The Melmetal retaliates with a Brick Break.
- Hideo hears 's scream, but his Beheeyem does not tell him what it was.

- Mega duration: 1 post

chaos time!




Confusing as the situation may be, Eris feels nothing but a rush of adrenaline guiding her decisions, her mind calming before the storm as her attention flickers over the battlefield, taking in every detail she can possibly get. Though she only expects to hear the creaking of metal shifting around the Melmetal's body, her expectations are quickly subverted when she catches onto an additional shriek in the mix. Her eyes wander, searching for the source or noise, landing on the answer not too long after.
[break][break]
And she would do exactly what any child would do in that instance.
[break][break]
"I THINK HE'S DEAD! Oh wait... no, no he's alive. Doug!" Pointing over at the bleeding , Eris can't help but hop a little, a panicked energy seemingly zipping through her body as her mind flicks through a multitude of backup plans.
[break][break]
Results: None had been planned in the case of an injured teammate. Or at least, none that she could actually carry out considering the measures the adults had put into place regarding her location on the field.
[break][break]
Nonetheless, she's on the case, tossing up yet another pokeball into the air as an Emolga bursts forth. With a whistle, Fizz glides towards the fallen gym leader, lifting its arms to enact a Light Screen and protect him from any flying debris that shoots his way. There is hope that might try to seize the opportunity, or anyone else but she's not holding her breath on that front just yet.
[break][break]
Instead, she tugs on Reiner's mane, urging him to follow her as the duo break away and rush headfirst towards a set of nearby vending machines. Seeing the mischievous grin that she gives off, the Luxray can only sigh, obliging to her little schemes as his fur begins to crackle with electricity and he shocks the inoperative machines with a quick Spark.
[break][break]
Display lights flicker before her, a hand quickly reaching into her pocket to retrieve what seems to be a simple device with a singular screen. Cracking her knuckles, Eris looks to and tries to catch his attention with an odd skip and a hop. As soon as he gets the message, she's handing Reiner a cable to plug in, tapping on the glass as the device comes to life.
[break][break]
"Alrighty, let's see what we can do here."
[break][break]
[break]
Tl;dr - Eris calls attention to and send Fizz (Emolga) to protect him from the flying metal scraps[break][break]
She wanders to the vending machine and Reiner (Luxray) gets them started with SPARK[break][break]

his ears were ringing as they were doing battle around him. the sound of metal and just... what were those sounds? his head was swimming with trying to concentrate on it, a nervous giggle came out of his mouth. why did he feel like he was floating? people were yelling and he was yelling? maybe? at least his mouth felt like it was open but maybe no other sound other than giggles were coming out. a perfectly normal reaction to not being able to stand up. not being able to move. "where is my... phone?" he reached for the phone that had fallen to the wayside but the screen seemed to not be working. or maybe he wasn't even pressing the screen. maybe he was just staring at it? it was all confusing right now. so fucking confusing. he wanted to make a phone call but everything was too blurred as it slipped from his grip again.

When Thomas had returned to the group, he noticed the state that Glitch was in.

"Shit!", the Kalosian hissed, taking out two Pokeballs. Two Pokemon would emerge from the capsules, a Pangoro, and an Alakazam. "Brutus, cover us! Freke, get Glitch to cover, carefully!", he'd order his Pokemon.

While Brutus would join the Aggron and Blaziken in taking on the Melmetal. The hulking beast would charge the liquid metal behemoth with a Drain Punch. The attack seemed to do little to deter the Melmetal, who attempted to strike the Pangoro with a Brick Break. Thanks to the sprig between his lips, he was able to detect the strike in time, and dodge out of its way.

Freke would use Telekinesis to move Glitch behind a pile of scrap. Thomas would dash behind the scrap pile as well, to join up with the wounded Gym Leader. His Shinigami Eye allowed him to see the 'health bar' of the Gym Leader. And what he saw didn't look good. He had to act fast.

"Glitch, stay with me!", Thomas called out. He would begin to check on his injured leg. "Ah shit!", Thomas hissed, seeing as his leg was crushed. The first thing he'd do would be to take out scraps of cloth from his bag, applying pressure to the areas where the leg was bleeding. He would then take out some bandages, spraying them down with water, and applying them to the injured leg. Finally, using a pole with a u-shaped end, Thomas would raise the injured leg above his heart level.

When the Melmetal began to cause scrap to fly all over the place, Freke would desperately attempt to teleport to a safe spot. Meanwhile, Brutus would be struck by pieces of scrap, crying out in anger and pain as he's being pelleted by the scrap metal. Thomas would instinctively attempt to shield Glitch with his body, to protect him from further harm. Only, an Emolga shielded them both, providing Protect to cover them.

Thomas would give the Emolga a thumbs up, then turn back to Glitch. "You're gonna make it! Stay with me!", he told Glitch. He would begin to make a call of his own, through his communicator. "This is Benoit of the Elite Four! I have a man down on the Seaside Cycling Road Underpass! Requesting a medic! Proceed with caution!", he called out into the earpiece.

"Glitch!" Came out of Doug before he could reign in his first impulse, the youth sprinting towards the other man while swinging his arms wildly, a pokeball and a net ball flying through the air.

An unlikely ally was summoned from the bugcatcher's repertoire as ' Emolga erected a barrier between 's unconscious form and flying scrap, an egg shaped pink blob appearing from his pokeball.

She wore a field-medic jacket tailored specifically for herself, the name 'Joy' inscribed in her arm tag. As her eyes fixed onto Glitch's heavily damaged body, her eyes grew wide, before snapping to Cpt. Douglas as he slid to a stop besides them.

The youth's gaze snapped to .

"What's the damage? Nurse Joy, get to it! Field treatment!" He ordered snappily, to which the nurse quickly nodded, her training kicking in. She lowered herself before gently singing Glitch to sleep, her own form of anesthetics. "You are gonna be okay, man! Nurse Joy, Healing Wish!"

While the nurse prepared to treat his fellow Gym Leader's injuries, Cpt. Douglas turned his attention to the Melmetal and his other pokemon, eyes narrowing.

He stood at a good vantage spot, allowing him a general view of the entire battle and everything going on. Eris had taken away from the danger zone, thankfully. That was one less thing to worry about.

He would grill the crap out of both kids from not just running away entirely after everything was over.

Another jackass who needed to be slapped upside the head with some sense was the teacher, who wasn't even paying attention to his quarry while he went off to mess with the Melmetal, nearly getting himself smashed in the process.

was bloody doing a better job as a guardian of both children and himself, for gods' sake. He was gonna file a formal complaint with their school, damn it! Actually, forget that, he was gonna apply to mentor Eris himself!

"Manda!" Snapped Cpt. Douglas as he grasped the hem of his hat, rainbow like energy crackling through the air and flowing into the centipede pokemon as it leapt down into the fray, a black cocoon forming around it shortly before it suddenly exploded outwards, revealing a massive, flying centipede. "Immobilize it."

Over 30 feet in length, the Mega Centiskorch weaved through the air elegantly while making its way towards the Melmetal, its cool gaze at odds with the extreme temperature it exuded as it suddenly accelerated.

As the Melmetal swung at the oncoming bug, it ducked under the blow before wrapping its body around the arm, slithering up its length before winding itself tightly around the whole of the Melmetal's body.

G-Max Centiferno



The many coils exuding flames from its body shone brightly for but a moment, before a massive detonation suddenly engulfed both pokemon, a pillar of fire rising to the sky and splitting the clouds.


TL;DR:
-Blissey used Sing on Glitch. She then used Healing Wish!
-Mega Centiskorch wrapped itself around Melmetal's body! It used G-Max Centiferno!

Elga’s deception didn’t last; it was hard not to realize someone got hurt when literally everyone was shouting about it. First outright asking if someone died (before revealing he was still alive), then both and the guy who hired Hideo ( ) immediately covering him. “Ah shit,” Hideo muttered, realizing he didn’t just imagine that scream.

He would’ve tried to go help deal with ’s injury, but he didn’t really know much beyond basic first aid. And none of his Pokemon could heal others. Even as he was assured that people were already on it, he couldn’t escape that feeling of unease and fear, that someone might actually die here.

But before he could get too distracted, there was a sudden wave of calm washing over him. He didn’t know why - he knew he would’ve normally been more on-edge, more terrified - but his heart just went at ease for some reason. He didn’t know Elga was effectively enforcing a Calm Mind on him through his Telepathy. But it was enough to get him to focus on the fight - completely missing that Eris just ran off to do something else.

He received a flurry of information from his Beheeyem; several other Pokemon had mega-evolved and were currently engaging with the Melmetal. And yet despite being heavily outnumbered, the Melmetal was holding its own, taking every hit in stride, even getting off several counterattacks.

Once Doug’s Centriskorch enveloped it, Hideo realized his Aggron was a little light on options; he couldn’t get in without getting caught in the fire or attack at range without potentially hitting someone else.

But for good or for ill, he’d still get a chance: Elga informed him that despite being surrounded by flames, despite its movements limited by paralysis, there was a glint of light from the Melmetal. Hideo didn’t like that one bit. “Aaron, quick! Protect against that!

The order couldn’t have come a moment too soon: just as the protective barrier rose up, a Flash Cannon erupted from the Melmetal, hitting the barrier straight on. It managed to hold against the attack, but an audible *crack* could be heard as the barrier buckled under its strength.


Summary
- Hideo is overwhelmed for a moment, but his Beheeyem forcibly calms him via Calm Mind+Telepathy
- Hideo's Aggron erects a Protective barrier just in time to block a Flash Cannon.  The attack is blocked, but his barrier is in poor shape afterwards.

"He's got a crushed leg!", Thomas called out to John.

In the aftermath of the storm of debris, the Pangoro would find himself stabbed with multiple pieces of scrap metal. The Pangoro would attempt to get up, only to collapse to the ground. But before the Melmetal could finish him off, the Alakazam would reemerge, firing off a Focus Blast at the liquid metal titan. The attack would briefly blast a hole through the Melmetal, before it would reform its body. In that moment, Freke would grab the Pangoro with Telekinesis, pulling the wounded bear behind cover.

While the others continued their onslaught, Freke would call out to Thomas telepathically.

As Thomas got the message, his hand gripped into a fist. The situation was getting shittier by the moment. If he were to leave Glitch alone, then the Melmetal might finish him off. If he didn't get to Freke and Brutus soon, then Brutus might die. Thankfully, Thomas would soon find relief in John's Blissey. Thomas backed away from the wounded Gym Leader, letting the healer do her thing. As Thomas dashed to rendezvous with his two Pokemon, the Melmetal would spot him, and immediately fire off a Flash Cannon towards him. Thomas found himself narrowly able to dive and roll behind cover, before the blast could hit him.

He would reach his two Pokemon, quickly recalling the wounded Pangoro. "I'm so sorry.", he told the Pokemon remorsefully. Thomas would grab a Pokeball from his belt. For a moment, he thought of bringing out his Hydreigon, to provide air support. But at ground level, the Melmetal would spot them, and immediately fire upon the dragon.

Thomas would spot a few things. A pair of bikes, a Mach Bike and Acro Bike, abandoned in the junkyard, but otherwise looking functional. And a particularly tall heap of scrap, perfect for getting the air Kalameet needed for an ideal deployment.

The Acro Bike was perfect for getting atop the hill, but he needed a distraction. That was when he spotted Josh again. "Yo, you think you can put the Mach Bike to use? I'm going to use the Acro Bike!", he called out, pointing to the pair.

Once he was ready, Thomas would take the Acro Bike, while Freke popped out of cover, firing a Focus Blast towards the Melmetal. Though the shot was wild and inaccurate, the aim was to draw the Melmetal's aggro, while Thomas made his way up the scrap heap with the Acro Bike.

So much was going on, and he was highly amused, Zippy was recording things for his personal use later and between the fighting, one pokemon seeming to Mega Evolve without their trainer calling on it to do so. It fascinated him, was it from the shard that the Melmetal causing it? As he pondered his pokemon was making sure to help the others as a scream was heard in the area as the Rocket Gym leader seemed to have gotten himself hurt. [break][break]

Oh well the Gym Leaders were a simple 200PD per dozen anyways. [break][break]

As the pokemon was being attacked by the others Wright used his device, noise could be heard if one were close enough, but what the scientist paid attention to was the way the metal from where he fed the Metan, interesting. [break][break]

That’s when the hopping and a skipping of his ‘student’ caught his attention and what she was pointing at and he simply smiles at her as he headed over. “Good find Deedee, we should be able to make good work of this,” he muses as he scans the machine. He would take out a few decides from his own back as he looks at her own tool, “Fancy little set up ya got there I see you have a plan as well?”

[break]+ Too amused with studying whats going on rather than helping.
[break]+ Cares not about getting hurt as eh Gym leaders were a dime a dozen, besides everyone else has it covered
[break]+ Test his equipment to see if anything happens and does notice the metal react.
[break]+ Is called over by the littlest Rocket
[break]+ has an idea on what to do, but will humor the kid on whatever idea she has.

chaos time!




Oh boy, does she have a plan.
[break][break]
Humming quietly in acknowledgement of the man, Eris continues to tap away at her screen, seemingly looking for something within the sea of information. Then she stops, tilting her head just slightly as she shakes the device gently.
[break][break]
"Come on, Koios. We don't have all day."
[break][break]
The screen stutters and is soon hijacked by two glowing blue dots, strings of numbers soon gathering to form a wide toothy grin as it responds to her call. With a few minor tweaks and a quick debrief on the situation, the entity seems to nod and moves along with her plan, its eyes closing on the device and reappearing on the display of the vending machine as Eris taps the side of the metallic beast.
[break][break]
"Let it rip!"
[break][break]
With a faint Discharge of energy, the machines whirr to life, its flaps rapidly opening and closing in brief intervals as cans of drinks begin to shoot out towards the Melmetal, pelting it with heavily pressurised bombs that explode upon contact with the beast. Cheering at the sight, Eris points to a few more spare machines on the side.
[break][break]
"Wanna try?"
[break][break]
[break]
Tl;dr - Eris rewires the vending machines to rapidly dispense cans of soda with the help of Koios (Rotom)[break][break]
The pressurised soda cans explode on contact! While it's used to deter the Melmetal, feel free to go wild with the stray shots?

"It's not bad for a twerp but I have another little thing in mind," as he tells her this he pulls out his controller from before as he turns it on at a low frequency and points at the Mega Melmetals leg and the way it's metal shifts before he turns it off as the soda bombs attack. "Keep going until it's out of sodas" he instructs before he brings out other pokemon. [break][break]

With thinker there he doesn't need to tell his pokemon to do anything anymore as they convert his thoughts over to them on their own so he doesn't have to waste time with it. Without a word Wright sets up the rest of the devices into the machine. Good good, "So Deedee do you think you can put this thing on a timer? If you can't then don't bother, but if you can then I need enough time for the plastic to blend but before the thing can eat through the bomb"

A timer... Is that supposed to be a challenge?
[break][break]
Squinting quietly at the man, Eris takes a moment to ponder over the idea then nods, jumping right back to work as Koios continues to barrage the Melmetal. He asks for a rather specific time frame but she's far from stumped when it comes to designing the code necessary, tearing through the numbers and altering the commands and completing just as the machine begins to rattle with a hollowness.
[break][break]
"And... we're ready to go!"
[break][break]
With Koios safely transferred back to her device, Eris passes it over to to handle, curious as to what is to be witnessed next.
[break][break]
[break]
Tl;dr - Eris makes the timer requested and retrieves her Rotom! Get ready for the show!

A chill ran through Hideo’s back as Elga informed him of how powerful that Melmetal’s attack had been. Save for a few attacks, a Protect barrier was supposed to be impervious, and he would’ve expected one from a Mega Aggron to be even tougher. For a single attack to damage it that bad...they were dealing with one heck of a monster, weren’t they?

And as he heard another blast fly by, nearly hitting someone, he knew that wasn’t a one-off attack. In fact, he could hear more start to be fired off, the Melmetal firing Flash Cannons with increasing frequency. One was too close for comfort, whizzing a few meters past him and blowing around what sounded like a lot of debris.

He knew it really was best that he stay in cover, even if it probably only kept him safe from debris. “Aaron, stop those blasts from reaching us!” he ordered.

Aaron positioned himself as close as he could to the surrounded Melmetal, blocking it off from the trainers who either hid in cover or were preoccupied with their own plans. Aaron once again erected a Protective barrier, and once again it cracked under the power of a single blast. Except the blasts kept coming, cracking the barrier even further until it finally shattered. A couple of Flash Cannons hit him, and they managed to crack his toughened, metal-like body.

But he would not be deterred, summoning forth yet another Protect to keep the others safe.

Hideo’s Rotomdex continued to monitor the fight, its attention solely on the Melmetal - though it was as close to cover as it could get without blocking the video feed.


Summary
- Hideo is staying in cover.
- Hideo's Aggron protects everyone in the back by tanking the Flash Cannon blasts, either with Protect or his own body.
- The Rotomdex is solely focused on the Melmetal, so everyone else doing their own thing won't be caught on tape.
