Today on ’How useless can Victor Wexler be?’... Of course that fool’s Dragonite flew right into a Solar Beam.
[break][break]
Oh well, crash landing time!
[break][break]
And let me tell you, saying this was a precarious situation would have been an understatement here, considering he was riding said Dragonite.
[break][break]
Suddenly and unexpectedly, the beam appeared right next to them, and in a telenovela style sort of plot-twist, the Dragonite turned to protect him. What’s this? Pez actually caring for Vic’s wellbeing? Them having a bond that went beyond the dragon’s self-preservation instincts? Could this be…✨ the power of friendship
[break][break]
And it worked… until Vic found himself falling instead of flying because the dragon had fainted.
[break][break]
He screamed. Yet, something stopped his fall (or rather slowed him down) by pulling him up by his shirt. ”GLIGAR?! What are you doing here?... Is Aaron okay?!” He should have probably been more concerned with the fact that the little flying scorpion definitely couldn’t keep pulling up his weight, but that’s Vic for you! Thankfully, his Dragapult was still nearby, unharmed, and ready to swoop in beneath him to catch him midair… Oh, the wonders of a NO-DE raid.
[break][break]
Once safely on Dragapult’s back, he was able to take a breath and call his fallen Dragonite back, but when looking at his surroundings in search of (Since he was probably nearby, right? Considering Gligar and all?) all he saw was the rampaging Groudon and Arceus-knows-how-many pokémon attacking the Precipice Blades.
[break][break]
”Oh shit! We gotta help!”
[break][break]
Now that they were near the ground, he could safely call his Samurott and Dragalge to help, telling them each to aim a HYDRO PUMP at the blades. Dragapult did his part too, his Dreepy charging towards them with a signature DRAGON DARTS (because ain’t no way in hell we’re going to attack those things close-range, no sir).
[break][break]
And that’s all for this post, folks!
[break][break]
Catch ya next time!




[BREAK][BREAK]





+ TL;DR:
[break]-Vic's Dragonite faints from a Solar Beam.
[break]- Vic is falling.
[break]- 's Gligar slows his fall until Dragapult swoops in
[break]- He calls his Samurott and Dragalge to help since now he's by the ground.
[break]- Samurott and Dragalge use HYDRO PUMP on the PRECIPICE BLADES. Dragapult uses DRAGON DARTS.
[break]- Please god save me from another useless roll before I lose all hope

DESOLATE LAND


A CLIMB TO THE END



BLOOD BOILS ACROSS HIS SKIN. It burns with the salt of his own sweat. It’s not from the searing heat nor the shrapnel of his broken abode. It comes from elsewhere.

Contempt gnaws at his attention as he whips a glare at the source. Eyes meet and Fernando recalls very little. The Unown from earlier, the symbol brought up by and transcribed to certain League personnel—it means little in the heat of the moment but a line is drawn and a memory cemented.

Vultures.

Tch.

They are forgotten, left to reap what they sow. They have more pressing matters at hand. Not nearly pressing enough for to oblige but that’s a separate issue entirely.

I authorize us to live!

can suck a dick. Out here, in the heat of battle, there is only one objective: survive. Whatever tools they’ve acquired over their careers becomes disposable. Anything to live another day. The backlash and consequences of tomorrow are a burden of the living.

And until Groudon is extinguished, nothing is promised.

Fuck it. I’ll do it myself.

A finger raises to his hear to adjust the buzzing feedback of the League Comms. A ragged cough clears his throat before Fernando answers the call. Healing rain sizzle as a light downpour soaks his hair.

Clear.

One final order before he commits.


MISTY TERRAIN recoils around him as Tapu Fini starts to channel. The gracious efforts of , , and even @giselle to distract the beast buys the island deity time to create a titan of its own. The GUARDIAN OF ALOLA surfaces from his own influence, pink steam condensing into tangible fury.


If Groudon represents the turbulent nature of expansion then Tapu Fini is the balancing act of Mother Nature. Homeostasis is brought to its doorstep, built into a culmination between patron and Avatar, their own twisted justice swirling in the palm of their hand.

Cooper.

Fernando whispers a homage to the expired Avatar before their idol attacks. A hand comes down on the Groudon, unleashing the pent up energy into a sudden blast of fae winds and terrible energy.

the power of nature manifests into the guardian of alola and strikes the enemy with a monsoon of the island's energy. this damages everyone within a large vicinity.

Groudon. Preciple Blades. Allies. Enemies in hiding. There is no difference; Tapu Fini does not apply human value to its actions. Like Fernando, there is only one cause: the objective. What happens to the rest is of no concern. Duty before self, region before person. Always.



note(s):
- spots the logo mentioned abou reshiram.
- disregards due to direness of the situation.
- 's HEALING RAIN provides brief minor relief.
- tapu fini uses z-move, GUARDIAN OF ALOLA, to attack groudon in wide spread AOE.
- attack may harm those in the vicinity of groudon + precipice blades.
- zygarde + heatran continue using LAND'S WRATH and EARTH POWER to stave calamity.

- one SALAC berry used!

Kanoa felt it, the rush of adrenaline that was commonplace when riding atop Haoa while he was at top speed, bobbing and weaving throughout the peak of the Volcano to try and be the best distraction possible. God was it scary, to feel the heat bearing from the primal Groudon and the volcano itself, the artificial sun that seemed to only amplify the existing heat. Kahale was barely able to hold on, the poor Rockruff being nuzzled in between the ranger’s arms as she gripped the Arcanine’s abundant fur. She was going to keep them safe and keep Hoenn safe, just like she had sworn too. Then the solar beams had fired, the giant beams of pure fire heat and energy that seemed to nearly eradicate whatever they blew past, with many coming around the group.


[break][break]



Kanoa herself had been directing the Arcanine, pulling his fur to tell him where to go next, but it was in vain. She felt it, suddenly: a searing heat directly in her shoulder, the impact and blazing heat sending her flying off of Haoa and down the side of the mountain that she had just been aided in climbing. It hurt, hurt badly. She could barely feel the harsh burn that was on her shoulder, but it had certainly torn through her jacket and left her skin dang near bubbling. The two dog Pokemon had quickly rushed over to the trainer, with Haoa keeping her body covered quickly and kahale keeping a watchful eye for many more attacks. The ranger could barely move as she looked back up at the peak. “I need to get back up there. Kahale.. Come back.” She strained her arm more in order to pull out Aukai’s ball, releasing him and quickly calling to the Tirtouga. “I know you’re hurt… but please. Aukai, use WIDE GUARD.”

Palossand is knocked out of commission and is quickly returned to its ball. Kingdra barely manages to shield Remiel from the beams that follow afterwards. Watching as several events unfold at once, including the Unown and its mysterious trainer, the prince is swift to act. He acknowledges the lightning stiletto embedded into the canyon peak across the way. With a gesture, he relays his next move to his Kingdra.[break][break]

In the BLINK OF AN EYE, the ambassador teleports before reappearing on this rocky ledge overlooking Groudon's back. His hues of cobalt scan his new surroundings with practiced caution, and he drops down to a crouch to gather his bearings with one hand while the other shields the lower half of his face with an arm.[break][break]

The air is thick with smoke, the ground trembles aggressively beneath them. As his Kingdra swiftly draws closer to his position, he orders it to summon a HURRICANE in the hopes of obscuring Groudon's vision below and gathering all the gases in one place. The gathering of clouds and rain, however, also intend to serve as an introduction to his next Pokémon: the very one he had found himself conflicted to use earlier.[break][break]

[break][break]

In the meantime, he summons another: his Ampharos, Faustus. Noting the PRECIPICE BLADES glowing with magmatic energy, he directs his partner to unleash a ZAP CANNON towards one of them, hoping the resulting blast would be enough to destroy another.[break][break]

BLADES & SMOKE


@jess @giselle

MT. CHIMNEY CONTINUES TO QUAKE. Regardless of whether people are on the earth or in the air, the rumbling of the volcano can be felt. The dread builds. Bubbles like a disturbed gut. Waves of heat waft across the air in stunning discs as the Groudon rampages within its chamber.[break][break]

PRECIPICE BLADES jut out from the mountain like infernal thorns. Everyone's previous experience with these detonating obelisks forces the trainers to collaborate. In striking unison, their Pokemon collapse blade after blade. Each blade is destroyed in a stunning display of all the elements.[break][break]

A HYDRO PUMP from 's CORVIKNIGHT crashes onto pillar and like the red sea converging upon a scourge, 's SAMUROTT provides a tide of its own. [break][break]

And from the sky, @jess' DODRIO returns. Its beaks and talons slam into a PRECIPICE BLADE, crushing its upper half like a soda can before ' MELTAN FLASH CANNONS the rest away.[break][break]

[break][break]

A MEGA CHARZIARD X blitzes through, smashing into pillars while 's SHADOW METAGROSS manages to EXPANDING FORCE several of those damaged pillars off their bases.[break][break]

's FERALIGATR HYDRO PUMPS a nearby PILLAR as 's KOMALA rolls on by, its little log WOOD HAMMERING another into pieces.[break][break]

Nearby, as attacks collide with the GROUDON itself, small rocks are hurled at it by one @giselle. In its frenzied state, one of its sour yellow eyes turn to the one stoning it. Suddenly, a BOULDER smashes into a pillar near @giselle, thrown by 's MACHAMP.[break][break]

Simultaneously, the HEALING RAIN from allows some space for relief with the cooling from 's HAIL. and make a significant decision in taking care of the toxic gases from the volcano. Their WEEZING and ROSERADE prevent nearby trainers from scarring their lungs and inhaling horrible smoke.[break][break]

THE ORB


@jess

THE GROUDON CHASES AFTER the falling . Attacks from those surrounding the volcano's exposed chamber help the man reach his destination. However, a stray SOLAR BEAM from GROUDON manages to fire toward him— but 's TREVENANT manages to snatch away from its beam, teleporting him against his Pokemon's floral bed roughly, the momentum of evasion causing the man to still hit the flowers hard. 's GARDEVOIR and its PHANTOM PSYCHICS continually blind the Groudon with light, as DRAGON DARTS explode nearby. His DELPHOX PSYCHICS the RED ORB upward and toward a PRECIPICE BLADE. is swift to join him and to erect a SAFEGUARD.[break][break]

As is rescued by , her HEALING MIST an instant grace upon her and the MOLTRES she is set on. The ELITE FOUR MEMBER is rejuvenated within her presence as 's TALONFLAME U-TURNS the GROUDON to fend it off further. Roaring, the behemoth watches as a HYPER BEAM from 's DRAGONITE slices through a PRECIPICE BLADE nearby.[break][break]

A DRACO METEOR descends upon the RED ORB as the PRECIPICE BLADE underneath smolders. The pillar EXPLODES, but it weakened by 's MEGA STEELIX and its STONE EDGE. With each strike, the RED ORB's constitution shows signs of weakness. A LEAF STORM from 's MEGA SCEPTILE dices into it and carries it further up, the sky above flickering in odd rift-like veins.[break][break]

[break][break]

The GROUDON acts immediately. It nears 's group as 's TREVENANT feels the heat increase to terrifying degrees. From the air, 's HURRICANE joins with 's TROPIUS' to deter the beast. Before it, the RED ORB flies, cracking in sharp lines— and as it extends its gigantic claw, 's TAPU FINI commits to a reckless Z-MOVE: GUARDIAN OF ALOLA. Gathering the energy of the region, the ISLAND DEITY forms a body of hair-raising power before slamming its forged FIST into the backside of the GROUDON. A bone-rattling cry erupts from the Pokemon's throat as the RED ORB soars, the Z-MOVE preventing the Pokemon from reaching it. Those nearby will feel a powerful pulse of energy course through their bodies, threatening to topple those standing to their feet.[break][break]

[break][break]

Snarling, the GROUDON builds stone pillars to help it reach the orb with stunning speed and violent precision. Pokemon nearby are forced to weave out of this new rock range— but it trips as a stone pillar pushes its foot. , , and emerge from the mountain, empowered by the past. As 's PILLARS strike out from the magma to attempt and lock the GROUDON by its waist, summons a tree that grows and pulses with the power of his AVATAR ABILITY. cackles, drunk with power as he stands.[break][break]

Not to be deterred, the GROUDON spreads all arms. Opens its hellish jaw. The whole world seems to still before the volcano erupts with a powerful, earth-ending bang. Lava, smoke, and hot tephra blast out into a cloud. @jess's healthy STARLY times its FINAL GAMBIT. The RED ORB receives a dramatic split in its middle before 's MEGA GENGAR fires a powerful SHADOW BALL at the stone. As others join in, 's GOLURK unleashes a Z-MOVE: NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE. In a ghostly finish— the RED ORB shatters. Above, the sky flashes to a great expanse of the past. Fragments of the stone are tossed up with the boiling cloud of ash.[break][break]

The eruption spills out into the past skies. Another surging wave of lava and smoke emerges— but it is caught. Weakened by 's HEATRAN's earlier tampering with the magma flow, it is slow enough for 's ZYGARDE & HEATRAN, , and to cover the majority of the volcano top with their powers. Stone upon stone begins to loom over the GROUDON in its deep chamber— however, the creature seems to have calmed. Its eyes revert to a normal hue. With the RED ORB destroyed— the GROUDON seems to have gained its senses. A deep roar helps still the mountain's volcanic activity...[break][break]

RESOLUTION


@tadashiootori

HOWEVER, THE MOUNTAIN SHAKES AGAIN. A part of the chamber's wall is burst open. The REGIDRAGO from below emerges, seeking revenges. It sports a blackened mask of hardened magma over its round, magenta body, like a murderous jester. Beeping, it fires HYPER BEAMS at the GROUDON, some missing to crack apart the COVERING made by the TEMPORARY AVATARs.[break][break]

The two titans engage in a fight within the chamber. As more holes and stretches of stone are blasted away— EVERYONE would begin to feel battered by small stone. Drops of lava strike the ground. Whatever comes up— must come down. However, before the eruption can descend to wreak havoc upon the current times, a cry from some unknown space, an undetected plane, a voice that is thrown across the temporal weave shakes the mountain.[break][break]

[player]https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_qx8d8gZkOP1yrg70yo1.mp3[/player]
[break][break]

The DARK, PAST SKY closes. Zipped up neatly, the blue sky of present day HOENN returns. However, one RED FRAGMENT falls... and lands within the maw of the fighting REGIDRAGO. Suddenly, the TITAN seems more energetic before. As the fragment is subsumed— the REGIDRAGO regains the power it has lost over time.[break][break]

[break][break]

With no recharge, with no risk to its own life force due to the exorbitant amount of energy it has procured, the REGIDRAGO fires DRAGON ENERGY after BEAM OF DRAGON ENERGY. The powerful, draconic lasers cut through the volcano's top and crash into the GROUDON's chest. Those who witness the fight will see the land titan hurt to a concerning extent— but it does not falter. With a death defying roar, the GROUDON bearhugs the REGIDRAGO and slams it deeper into the magmatic chamber, bursting through walls and magma to take their fight deeper underground as it summons one last MAGMATIC ERUPTION to keep it away from the HEROES OF HOENN.[break][break]

THE FINAL CATACLYSM



IN ORDER TO SAVE EVERYONE FROM THE REGIDRAGO, the GROUDON had to cause one last, smaller ERUPTION. However, this has caused lava to spew out of the volcano top once more. A WAVE OF HOT LAVA spills out and begins to travel down the mountain, putting those on the ground such as or the injured at risk.[break][break]

[break][break]

Run for your lives— or find those in the air to assist you. The LAVA FLOW can be stopped with the intervention of Pokemon and other powers. Surely, 's LIVE STREAM will document the stunning finale— although the past little bit may make his work more of a contender for shaky cam films.

the grand finale. the coup de grace. Groudon's fury, combined with the strange Pokemon that had been seen at the Draconid Village... well, she had read the reports. to witness it come and assault Groudon was worrisome. but there was no time to dwell on it.

she singles out and on the ground. they seem to be okay, so she quickly checks on . he is more than capable of escaping on his own merit. but then she would notice an injured person. . she directs her Corviknight to land with Dragapult briefly.

"do you need help?" she offers a way down on the back of her Corviknight. if she took it, the pair would escape as fast as possible. overstaying a welcome was never a good thing "if anyone needs to get down; there is room!" she also calls out to anyone;

anyone who needed help escaping the imminent threat. 

tl;dr
offers kanoa a ride down on corviknight & anyone else on her dragapult.

At some level, Mint understood that if they didn’t make this work, they were all gonna die. Or at least, those in the air were probably going to make it out but the rest of the ground crew was so gonna die. And while the closest danger was dealt with, most Precipice Blades were suppressed, he was still standing at the edge of a volcano. Hair and clothes be damned, any part of his exposed him was flush red from what he could only describe as a really bad sunburn. As people much more capable than him tried to save them and the rest of hoenn, Mint’s eyes and subsequently his camera work is transfixed on Groudon and the Regidrago. [break][break]

He barely knew what most pokemon were like, much less something people could describe as walking gods. And then there’s a shift in the already chaotic environment. The poisonous gases and the vapor surge, the ground rumbles so loud he swears its thundering. Mint Frost has never seen or heard a volcano erupt but something instinctual moves him and his pokemon away form the crater’s edge as he immediately turned to run before there’s a blast of heat and ash. He just barely managed to return Canoli and Gelato to their pokeballs and start his sprint down for cover when the blast knocked him down and he screams as he feels a searing hot pain on his back. [break][break]

Adrenaline is already kicking in though. Tears prick his eyes and he had only enough time to turn to see the lava flows beginning to push and trickle towards them. Oh- Oh fuck no. Cacio is incapacitated, and he has no other reliable modes of transportation. But he keeps moving despite his back, his ass, and even his legs itching and burning uncomfortably. Mint is no hero, and he currently lacks the ability or resources to help anyone on his own. He releases Gelato once more. “Hey buddy, pal, friend don’t look back. I know you’re super stressed, but I need like the LONGEST ice Beam you can make, and something like a slip-n-slide ok? Long and somewhat wide how’s that?” Mint said as the little fox pokemon clung to his shoulder. His first was instantly stained with blood and ash. His trained was breathing harder than ever before. Gelato fired off what he could despite the stressful circumstances. “Hey! Use it if you want!” he screamed turning back to the people that had more or less help shepherd him up there. If they were still up there. Without thinking he then dropped into his own ice slide and slips away, the melting it just enough to make it slippery. [break][break]

Its then he realized the one flaw in his plan. Putting dirty, newly burnt, exposed skin and dirty clothing on a freezing slide might fucking hurt. Mint lets out a yowl of pain his body torn between the very much needed heat dump of the ice slide, and how fucking much it hurt his current injuries while sliding to safety. He hoped. His stomach lurches as a bump on the ground turns into a weird hill and mint is launched into the air shrieking curses the entire way. [break][break]

[attr="class","illie i"]well, the present is safe, as far as she can tell in the moment. the orb shatters, shards of red crystal scattering amidst ash and smoke. some pepper her hair, bright and shimmering. she pays it no mind. instead, she's flashing a bright smile toward , as if the worst is now over.

unfortunately, it seems there's still one last problem to take care of.

a titan emerges from cracks in the volcano, familiar and foreign all at once. she recognizes it as the beast within ruins of meteor falls, just with no hyper beams this time around... fucking hell, am i right? pink mist bleeds a little harder subconsciously, as if she expects it to fire off attacks in their direction in a reenactment of their last encounter. it doesn't, however.

it's focus is entirely on groudon.

as two titans begin to clash, an eruption begins. she expects the worst: magma raining down and burying everyone alive. it never comes. instead, something else shakes her to the core.

that cry.

it stops her dead in her tracks, neck snapping around to find the source. there's a familiar feeling that rises at the sound, at the shaking of the mountain and perhaps existence itself. it reminds her of home, of sinnoh, of a childhood. somehow, it brings the beginning of a wild smile to her features. it's too foreign for her to place, sure, but she'd bet everything on the budding theory in her mind.

the ruler of time is here, there, everywhere. somehow, it feels like an imaginary friend from dusty childhood books of myths and legends. to put a face to the creature would be something else... it's probable she'll find herself in 's office next week, demanding to look into the legend's appearance.

but first, they need to make it out alive.

she releases another pokemon, her vaporeon settling into her lap on the back of her dragonite. it's crowded, sure, but the water doggo props itself up for better line of sight. "hydro pump," she murmurs. "try to cool that magma down." while the vaporeon gets to work unleashing hydro pump, illeana steers her dragonite with the soft tap of her left foot.

"go to the bed of flowers," and go they do. once near, she leans and extends a hand to grab by the arm. it's difficult given her lack of muscle but her golurk joins just in time to hoist greyson up into his arms.

"we gotta go," she shouts. "now." there's no time for debating.

illeana and her pokemon rejoin with a brief wave from the scientist. they hover by the elite four member and her moltres for a moment, if only so illie can shout to her.

"come on," she murmurs around a puff of pink mist escaping from her mouth. "before this gets any worse." one look around and it's clear the rest of their resources are beginning to retreat. it's time for them to do the same...

raid.


tl;dr |

- recognizes regidrag thing from meteor falls. put that thing back where it came from or so help me ;u;
- the cry from another plane of existence stops her in her tracks
- doin that thinky think thing
- releases vaporeon
- holds her vaporeon as it uses hydro pump on any approaching magma
- grabs from his cutie bed of flowers to gtfo of there
- flying above this shitshow to escape with her pokemon, , and in tow hehe

there wasn't a lot of time to think as the mountain literally began to crash down around them. quickly she recalled her pokemon, all but acorn. "let's rock and roll acorn!" the cufant began to use rollout, giving speed to one of the shards that groudon had created from rock. supposedly if the large beast had made them that would mean they were resistant to the lava. hopefully. there was a massive amount of adrenaline as the rock approached and she recalled acorn. fuck fuck fuck fuck. "hold on!"

as the rock approached she grabbed onto the closest person to bring him with her, . he didn't appear to have a way out and this was the easiest way she could thing to do it. her heart beat out of her chest as she shouted nonsense as the rock began to race down the mountain with the both of them on it. adrenaline running high she gave him a firm kiss on the cheek in celebration. "we did it!" they had managed to calm groudon down and while the mountain was exploding it wasn't as bad as it could have been. probably.



- cufant uses rollout to get a rock moving
- giselle hops on the rock and scoops up
- giselle gives him a small smooch on the cheek in celebration

As the RED ORB shatters, Groudon’s change in demeanor is obviously recognizable to the doctor. The titan. Th beast challenges the threat of the Regidrago, essential protecting the people that had attempted to calm the beast. She can sympathize, so as the Regidrago fires off DRAGON ENERGY towards Groudon, Eva commands the Mega-Salamence to PROTECT it. A shimmering barrier erects between the two, but it cracks beneath the power of the super-charged legendary.

Oh well, they tried. Groudon seems ok anyway.

Instinct kicks in. The deeply rooted need to protect those around her fuels recklessness. Instead of fleeing, she stays. Mega-Salamence takes its place between the creeping magma and the mass of Hoennians that had come together to protect their home.

“Blade,” the Gallde nods, leaping off of Mehira and onto the rocky terrain a short distance below them, “SANCTUARY.”

The Gallade summons the Z-move. It takes an immense amount of concentration. The lava and falling stones threaten their comrades but it’s the fear of losing them that fuels his power. The Gallade is consumed by a white energy. It pulses like a heartbeat, growing with each thrum of energy until it ultimately expands as he presses his palms outwards. The shimmering PROTECTIVE barrier rises. It’s a large dome, impenetrable, and inside, peaceful, calming. Lava pools at its edges and the clatter of stones raining from above roll off the sides, giving those struggling the time and clarity they need to safely flee.

Eva encourages those that need help to mount the Salamence or hold onto the Gallade. When SANCTUARY fades, they make their escape by FLYING down the mountain or TELEPORTING to the base.

tl;dr: Eva tries to protect Groudon but it’s too late. Eva stays behind and keeps the lava back by having her Gallade use it’s Z-move SANCTUARY, giving everyone time to get scooped up and clear of the lava plumes and falling rocks. Once everyone’s safe she takes off, they make their own escape. Anyone that needs scooped up can come hop on Mega-Salamence or be TELEPORTED by the Gallade back to the base of Mt. Chimney.

It was glorious. The way everything seemed to have ended was a showstopper to say the least, and if Kanoa had to take a hit in order for that to happen so be it. Aukai’s wide guard had been helpful in keeping her safe from any of the remaining threats that lay around, and all of the trainers that were at the peak seemed to work tirelessly in unison, with all of their Pokemon doing their best to destroy the orb, and so it was. A ghastly finish to it all, with the nearby sky being drenched in a haunting purple that semeed to have dealt the final blow. Kanoa held her fist up in the air with excitement, happy to have made it this far and at least have been some help in all the chaos.



[break][break]



But there was no time for celebration, the ranger quickly realizing that the volcano had erupted once more, with lava beginning to quickly flow down towards her and the rest of Pokemon. Thinking swiftly, Kanao had returned her Arcanine to his ball before replacing him with Kahale, the small Rockruff’s excitement quickly turning to terror as it had seen the molten heat that was soon to be on them. “Aukai use Aqua Jet on some of the lava to cool it! Kahale, use Stone Edge to dislodge that rock from the rest and bring it here!” The two pokemon steeled themselves, putting to work their trainer’s commands before a decently sized chunk of rock, about the size of her switchboard: had been right at her feet. Grinning, Kanoa quickly brought herself up to her feet and mounted the rock, with Aukai returning to its ball and Kahale leaping onto her shoulders.



[break][break]

“I’ve always wanted to try lavashredding! As the molten rock passed them, the cooled rock had been sturdy enough to not be disturbed by the extreme heat, with Kanoa getting her posture correct before riding the lava all the way down to the bottom, and just as she seemed to be in the clear, the ranger performed a kickflip on the makeshift board, landing neatly on the nearby safe ground. Taking a deep breathe, she looked at her arm: “Right I need to take care of that!”

[attr="class","matias"]battered by small stone and rising heat, matias remains airborne if only to observe the otherworldly battle between two mythical beings.

the piercing cry does little to tear his attention away nor the eruption that soon follows.

"UP."

charizard pulls up, swaying left and right to avoid being hit by stray balls of lava. another SAFEGUARD surrounds them, prolonging the inevitable.

gyarados is recalled, and bronzong levitates close.

they don't have much time.

still, they stay.

a pokeball flashes open, calling out a blissey that forms behind him before wrapping its arms around him to hold on.

there's no hesitation.

"HELP IT."

together, they swoop forward, approaching only for charizard to fire off a DRAGON PULSE at the REGIDRAGO. blissey's HEAL PULSE targets GROUDON.

then, they take to the skies once again, soaring high above as they circle, observing. but they're prepared to leave should they need to.

TLDR //
- matias tries to help GROUDON
- bronzong uses SAFEGUARD to keep them safe from burns
- charizard uses DRAGON PULSE on REGIDRAGO
- blissey uses HEAL PULSE on GROUDON
- matias observes from above, wanting to see how it plays out, but he's ready to leave if things get worse

they're a safe distance away in an instant and sam looks up at the erupting mountain with a sigh.

That was about as much Hideo’s Pokemon were gonna do. Even with the toxic gas dispersed, the heat was awful; it was only due to his Hatterene’s Aromatherapy that they weren’t getting burned up right now, but that wasn’t going to be enough to protect against an actual eruption.

Fortunately, came to the rescue. All of Hideo’s Pokemon caught on to what she had planned, and congregated around Hideo so the Mega Gardevoir would have an easier time.

Though Hideo definitely noticed that odd roar. It didn’t sound like it came from the Groudon. He hoped Elga could tell him what it was, but his Pokemon seemed clueless. Weird.

Next thing he knew, he was in a place much cooler than he was standing before. He didn’t know how far he was from the volcano until he heard the eruption. They were far - with Elga confirming the lava wasn’t getting anywhere near them.

Thank Arceus we’re out of that,” Hideo muttered, before asking aloud, “Everyone alright?” He’d get immediate confirmation from his own Pokemon, but he awaited to hear the answer from and . And anyone else they teleported along, if any.

He could get an explanation for everything after everyone was safe.

Hideo's Hatterene's Aromatherapy should help prevent people around them from getting burned by the heat
Hideo and his team get Teleported out by 's Mega Gardevoir
Hideo's checking to make sure everyone's ok

Explosions rock the mountain left and right as these blades of earth are destroyed. It was almost too much to make out, all she could tell was some strange other Pokemon began to fight Groudon as they began to be sealed deep underground before her Pokemon quickly Teleported her, and anyone else around her immediate area away as far as it could before they could receive any lasting injuries. [break][break]

Reappearing on top of a nearby mountain, Ruby finally collapsed to her knees to simply breathe. Was Hoenn ever not at risk of being blown up? Invaded? Attacked? It seemed like everything in the world cared so much about this island nation that it was constantly in peril every other month. With a heavy sigh, the young girl finally pulled off her goggles and bandana around her mouth, revealing just how much soot was covering the rest of her face. It would have been comical if she was any remotely bit relaxed. [break][break]

"Is everyone okay? Actually here?" Ruby would count heads, double-checking to make sure both and were here before speaking about herself. "I've been worse. Grace, Life Dew. Our job isn't over. " The Gardevoir would simply nod, using her signature move and spreading out healing droplets around their group. [break][break]

"Look," Ruby began, only to struggle for words and just groaning as she rubbed her face, smearing soot across it. "We'll have a talk about climbing volcanos and how much of a stupid idea that was later. I have to go back, I need to make sure everyone else gets out okay and patch up those who can't get this far. You two stay put, alright?"
[break][break]
Recalling the rest of her Pokemon, Ruby sent out her Shadow Togekiss, Amor seemingly upset it missed the fight as they ruffled their own feathers. Climbing aboard their back, Ruby would only then look back at the kids. After a few seconds, a reluctant smile spread across her face. "... Thanks for having my back, though. We do make a great team, huh?"
[break][break]
With that, Ruby quickly soared away on Amor's back with Extreme Speed, immediately starting her search and rescue routine. There was no time to lose after a disaster. Hopefully, the healing rain still pouring down above Mt. Chimney would help at least somewhat.[break][break]

Maybe, just maybe, Hoenn could have a break to patch up its wounds before the next one split open.[break][break]

Just a dream, anyways.
[break][break]
notesTeleported away via Mega Gardevoir. Counts heads, Mega Gardevoir uses Life Dew, before all her Pokemon are recalled. Sending out Shadow Togekiss and using Extreme Speed, Ruby is quick to go back and start helping, if she even can. [break][break]
