Amidst shifting lands the Torterra stays steadfast, hustling to gather the citizens in its care into one spot before it stomps the ground and releases a roar: an earthly WIDE GUARD forming around the citizens as debris fell and the grounds settled.

Meanwhile, Kim rests over onto the Lickilicky’s head, catching his balance while angling himself in a relaxed position; the pokemons pink tuft squishing down along with its head.

After everything had settled, Kim’s eyes surveyed the land around, looking up for a brief moment, then back down; his eyes landing on the area he had just been occupying prior to his arrival at the spire. He blinks a few times before his eyes lock with his Torterra’s, a sense of confusion present on both of their faces.

“That’s not good…” The councilman mutters before standing up to his full height once again, smoothing out his clothes.

In utter fascination with seeing another of its kind, the Lickilicky pays no mind to its trainer using it as a chest level leaning surface, instead- with its newfound freedom- it tugs on Kim’s sleeve pointing towards the doppelganger.



Kim nods in amusement with a cheerful smile on his lips while Knock-me-Down waves eagerly to the pudgy pokemon counter side.



“If you’re here to help, then do me a couple things: get the civilians present to safety and while you’re at it evacuate the immediate premises. I can do enough protecting to make up for you and all the others that decided to join your mix.”

He spins his index in a circle to the side of them: a portal forming where he pointed while, another opens where the Torterra keeps the already rescued civilians.

“Go through there and you’ll be safe. Stay here and you’ll be considered a threat. Your choice.”

A soft smile accompanies his forward words, arms moving to rest behind his back: at ease.

[attr="class","bryanbody"] Avatars. Great. Seemed like everyone and their mother had some strange ass ability making them more annoying to deal with than a regular leaguer. Regardless he had a job to do, at the moment wasn't an immediate threat to chu-e. "Of course when I don't have my Silvally, An ultra beast is a potential opponent "  [break][break] 
However that doesn't mean they were out of the woods just yet. "Dont worry, the civilians will be safe." he assures the man before taking out a pokeball and throwing it into the air. "You however, are in trouble." [break][break]
He says as the light coming from Balder schwartz obscures the pokemon bryan choses until it slams into the ground. He released his shadow Kommo-o and he gives his orders as he unsheathes his bow. " Taunt, flash cannon and Close combat." he orders as his corviknight shouts some obscene words kim and his lickilicky preventing the use of status moves. [break][break]

On top of that Klefki fires a ball of light towards kim cole himself and Kommo-o dashes towards his pokemon to deliver a vicious assault as an unnatural rage overtook this pokemon. Bryan was going to let him rampage to it's dark hearts content.[break][break]

Lastly he turned to chu-e "Sir we can keep him busy, you may be most safe inside the temple." he says hoping chu-e would go inside but he had a feeling the man wouldnt.

TLDR:[break]
. Bryan lands at the sea temple just in time to witness Balder using sunny day [break]
. Bryan hears kim's threat and witnesses his power and decides the man is a threat. [break]
. Corviknight uses taunt, Klefki uses flash cannon at kim, and Shadow kommo-o uses close combat on kim's lickilicky. [break]

“What in the world…?” Izzy couldn’t help but mutter, a mix of confusion and awe in her voice as the city of Sootopolis faded and melted into itself, space itself seeming to morph and bend in ways that just didn’t seem possible. She’d taken a moment to try and understand what was happening, inquisitive and curious. She needed a better view.[break][break]

Ignoring the ensuing chaos—or perhaps because of it—she’d aimed to move away from the bickering and battling people, looking for a safe spot within distance to observe the strange spatial phenomenon further. After all, this was exactly why she’d come to Hoenn in the first place, her curiosity welling bravery that outweighed her sense of danger.[break][break]

Naturally she’d had no idea what she was looking at, but she wanted to commit this to memory, an eye-witness account of a strange happening, and… she needed to record this! She’d hurriedly fumbled for her phone, quick to record what she could of the strange phenomenon she’d found herself trapped in. She hadn’t expected the city of Sootopolis to be on fire today, nor had she expected to be able to find something like this, but she couldn’t just let this opportunity go.[break][break]

Though, she wasn’t brave or foolhardy enough to try to make contact with this spatial rift that separated each part of Sootopolis, she’d wanted to see a little more of it. She’d scoured for a rock or some other small object to try and throw to see what would happen.

Summary:[break]
Entranced by the sudden shift in scenery, Isolde looked for a slightly less chaotic area to hide, such that she could observe the spatial rift that had split the city up![break]
Isolde is recording the strange phenomenon on her phone, and has attempted to toss a rock through it to see what would happen![break]
Isolde remained in the Bay Level!

[break]“Nothing’s stopping you from leaving on your Jellicent.” Emerges a voice, clear and firm as he cuts through the crowd with determined, long strides towards his friend. Angelo’s eyes are instead directed sharp towards the woman () confronting the young ranger.[break][break]

“You could probably take two or three other wounded on that thing. Maybe some kids, too.” A nod is directed towards the large pink blob in the water. “Sootopolis could use more hands to volunteer with the evacuation and less people running their mouths right about now, don’t you think?”[break][break]

Angelo holds her gaze for a moment. Blue eyes cool and chin tilted in challenge before turning away; reaching out instead to firmly grip ’s shoulder. [break][break]

“Hey. How’re you holding up? Everyone alri--”[break][break]

It’s then that the world begins to twist. Distort. Up above the starry skies glitter and the water below begins to crash – all wrong. [break][break]

But it’s also then that he sees her and none of those other things matter. A flash of gold appearing across the water capturing his focus. Even with her back turned, it couldn’t be anyone but . [break][break]

“Sky!” He calls for her. Frowning when he goes unacknowledged, Angelo cups a hand by his mouth and tries to get her attention again. “Dross!” And then... “Oi, dumbass! Over here!” [break][break]

Something unsaid, unseen, sinks like a deadweight in his stomach. Radio silence met with static, running cold down his spine. [break][break]

“Razz… Something’s…” Wrong. He’s unable to finish, voice trailing like his throat had been squeezed of breath. His gaze doesn’t shift from where he last saw her, feet already moving. “I’ve got to go.” [break][break]

Lucario disappears, replaced by the large form of his Salamence and Angelo doesn’t hesitate to swing himself onto Eltanin’s back. With a sharp whistle, he directs them to take flight over the raging water. [break][break]

Sensing the concern that rolls off Angelo’s mind, Latias kicks up a TAILWIND to hasten their group as they race towards where Skyler had last been seen. Towards the Cave of Origin.

    The voice that answers her isn't the one she's looking for, but its familiarity is welcomed nevertheless. Plumes of smoke part to reveal none other than . The ship captain isn't really surprised to see him here: whenever something goes wrong, it seems the current champion is never too far behind.

    "Yes, you can Ky. Look-"

    But whatever words she'd been about to speak die a quick death halfway through her throat, smothered by the appearance of a figure at the mouth of the cave. Silver eyes immediately widen. "Angel...?" 

    Relief doesn't last long against the sight of a bloodsoaked shirt, replaced by a creeping horror. The crash of tectonic proportions that shatters a city into pieces easily dying out, utterly insignificant, to the desperation in Angelo's plea. 

    Sootopolis, she thinks, can go to hell.

    Skyler's moving before she realizes it, calloused digits hovering over tanned skin; she pretends they aren't shaking as they wrap around Angelo's wrist, tugging him closer. Sharp silver peers up at ocean blue while behind her Lapras is replaced by a blue Gallade. Without prompting, it uses HEAL PULSE on the wounded pilot. 

    Kyle's uplifting words steel the captain's purpose. Whatever frantic gleam had haunted her eyes solidifies instead into silent, predatory intent. A shuddering breath escapes her, fingers briefly dancing over the steel at her hip.  "... Rocket did this?"

    She only gives the dog legendary a cursory look before following after Kyle and Angelo into the depths of the Cave of Origins. Had there really been any other option?

    Ironically, no matter how much he calls out to her, the real goes unheard.

    PwL|OddC

    TLDR
    - skyler can't get a break PART TWO
    - immediately goes to "angelo", replacing lapras with gallade and having it use HEAL PULSE on him
    - how to turn skyler against rocket with one mod post by SHIV

    "Not a single normal day." Muttered Cpt. Douglas as the entire world broke.

    The youth stumbled as the earth ripped and tore several levels below him, the screams of the masses ringing through his ears as the fighting was brought to a grinding pause by the chaos.

    Wind whipped by and nearly sent his hat flying off as the city swiveled in place, bedrock crashing against the lakebed as massive waves rose. His chest rammed against the rooftop railing and his body nearly vaulted over, panic filling his chest as his hand grabbed firmly onto a metal bar and he found himself suspended atop roaring waves and crashing water.

    His heart beat fast in his chest, eyes wide and mouth agape as he breathed in and out quickly. A moment later, he partly regained his senses, reaching up with his other arm to try and yank himself atop the pole-

    But before any of that, he saw the full effect of Palkia's attack.



    "Just..." He muttered, eyes wide. The weight of his body camera felt heavier as the borderline lovecraftian scene before him was captured. "What in the world is going on right now?"

    This changed everything for the civilians. For the worse, no matter which side you were.

    His hand flew to his comm in an instant, his body still hanging off the railing as he spoke

    "Come in, Winstrate Company! Report!" He boomed, brow furrowing as he grunted and slowly pulled himself up with his other arm, kicking up to swing his bottom atop the railing before grabbing his binoculars, sweat rolling down his cheek as he tried to get his bearings.

    Besides him, his Orbeetle worked overtime to process all that was happening.



    "Permission to switch to live ammo-."

    "Stand down-!"

    "The evacuees and rioters are both panicking, Captain-!"

    Everything was going to shit. What else was new? But... everyone was feeling this, not just the evacuees. In the face of such an eldritch, otherworldly visage, surely even the rioters would reconsider their current stance- staying was hardly safe now.

    He racked his brain for a solution that could take advantage of this- and that was when his sight fell upon the temple directly before him, far below, where Councilman and On and Off again and again Leaguer had a stand off with the Rockets.

    As the Councilman summoned several portals, the youth gawked- and then he knew what to do.

    "Prioritize the evacuation of civilians- do not engage unless necessary! The people need our help now more than ever!" The youth's voice rang as he exchanged a look with his Orbeetle, before leaping off the building towards the temple down below, holding his hand skyward.

    A mercury-like liquid suddenly spread forth like a parachute from his arm and slowed down his descent as his Orbeetle and Escavalier followed behind.

    "I've a way to evacuate the civilians, even in this nonsense- just take them to-!" The youth quickly relayed the locations.

    His Sergeants were spread through the several different sectors of the city; though everything had become a mess, with the councilman's powers, then it was possible...!

    He grabbed his comm, speaking at Kim.

    "Councilman Kim- I dunno the details, but those portals of yours- I've got my soldiers rounding up the evacuees at the different sectors; if you can bring 'em all together in one place, I can get 'em all out in one go." He said into the machine.

    Which made it more important than ever to ensure the councilman's safety. Eyes wide, the youth's thoughts rang through his pokemon.

    The Meltan shifted into a gun and a thunder wave was summarily shot at 's back. Escavalier launched forth at highspeed, zooming across the space between itself and the Councilman before erecting a barrier, it cracking before the pokemon swung its spears powerfully to ward off the metallic blast.

    A psychic grip fell over the Kommo-O as it launched forth, attempting to tether it to the floor through crushing, psychic weight.

    "Yer proper hypocrites, huh? At least get out of the way of the people actually doing something to help." The youth said as he landed in a crouch, gaze dark.

    "Or is it fine for innocent people to die so long as you get to do whatever it is ya want with this stupid toy-house?"

    He was getting tired of bloody churches.

    "Whatever." He said after a moment, before turning a dark look at the apparent leader, the masked . "Where's Melody?"

    -Got a report from his soldiers.
    -Ordered them to round up all people willing to leave; given what's happening, it's fair to assume even some of the rioters have begun reconsidering what they are doing and whether its worth it.
    -Doug asked Kim about whether it was possible for him to help.
    -Doug shot a Meltan-Gun's thunder-wave at Bryan.
    -Escavalier warded off a strike with Wide Guard and its spears.
    -Orbeetle is using Psychic to try and hold down Kommo-O.
    -Doug talked smack.
    -Asks Chu-E where's .

    [attr=class,bulk][break]What is Senon doing here? He couldn't mistake the aura, nor would Yveltal delay in relaying such woesome news to him immediately upon making the revelation.[break][break]

    So it's like that, huh? Senon breaks the silence with a jeering remark.[break][break]

    "..."[break][break]

    His words would betray him, so he dare not speak. If he turns his back, there will doubtlessly be a pursuit. He must deal with it there and then, to try and put Senon out of harm's way. With his HONEDGE brandished in hand, Adrian raises it slowly, perhaps drawing on the suspense to psych Senon out. But it seemed both were rigid in their determination. "Bronzor—" But he was stopped short.[break][break]

    The world around them changed in ways he couldn't believe, ostensibly manipulated by some unknown avatar. Yveltal would remain wordless, dormant while Adrian was jarred by the disorienting alterations to the landscape.[break][break]

    When it was over, he could only discern that the nearest passable landmass was barred to him by Senon's planted feet. It takes time for Adrian to acclimate to the changes and determine his course of action. "Put 'em out."[break][break]

    Bronzor would soar forward towards Crimsen before attempting to inflict HYPNOSIS upon whosoever looked upon it directly; as soon as he felt the effect had been achieved, Adrian would tap Abra on the head wordlessly, prompting it to TELEPORT them to the fore, putting Adrian and his Honedge in striking range before he whipped the blade towards them with a BRUTAL SWING.[break][break]

    Suddenly, the very land seemed to break apart and shift around, as if the ground itself had decided to join the chaotic battle….
    …so of course an idiot appeared, saying idiotic things. “Well, nothing other than the waters literally just starting to go haywire,” she snarked back. How had that guy even known that it was her Jellicent to begin with? She had not ordered it at all, so he must have seen her bring it out to begin with. Yet, she had not noticed this guy at all so far. Was he just lucky or presumptive, or was he onto her? Hard to say, but her eyes narrowed as she observed him for now.

    Naturally, she would meet and hold his gaze. “But yes, it’s right. Sootopolis needs less people running their mouths. So, maybe don’t just assume that people can ride Jellicent without a proper harness? It has a cursed body. I’m not risking anyone falling off, unable to move. When I caught it, a simple touch of it almost killed someone I kn-“ she broke herself off when he suddenly yelled out.
    Dross. Her urge to hurt someone rose immediately upon hearing that name. (Un?)-fortunately, that person seemingly ignored him. That did make her laugh, especially when he so eagerly tried to take pursuit. “Don’t get your hopes up. That one will just hurt you if you decide to care about her at all. Be happy she doesn’t even register you,” she added, laughing and watching proceedings with her arms crossed.

    Then, the guy was gone. With two fliers to boot. “Yeah, and take your flying Pokemon with you. Not like those are the best bet now, with the waters going crazy,” she yelled after him. Damn leaguers and their holier than thou attitude, even in the face of gross incompetence. Sighing, she tried to reign in her emotions. Then, she turned back towards that Kingsman guy. “An hour ago, this was just a bit of rioting, a bit of fighting. Now….look at this. And this city is a giant cauldron that you guys keep on stirring until it explodes. You really think this is the right thing to do right now?”

    as the last civilian caught on the stairs falls to the bottom level pokkenger dusts off his hands for a job well done when the whole world starts to shake and the ground beneath him starts to rip itself off its foundation and float over the sea, causing his ice slide to crumble into the waters below. "well...at least we saved people?" he asked his glastrier who just tilted its head up at him. as the group looked over the edge as the ground flew about a transmission came through his radio from talking about trouble down at the sea temple.

    "over there!" as the floating island they were on flew about they caught a glimpse of the sea temple and could see that things didn't look like they were going so well as someone was throwing their pokemon at...councilman ? as their piece of land started to rest in one spot pokkenger looked at the murky space between them and the silver spire temple. they had to get over there and it was a pretty long looking jump. his falinks seemed to be thinking about if they could stack on one another and form a bridge of sorts to cross and started to psych themselves up with chants of no retreat among their little huddling as they jumped off the horse to get a closer look at the edge and measure some distance.

    "well, nothing ventured nothing done. hiyah! GUTS! GIVE US A LIFT!" the hero cried out as he returned his glastrier to its pokeball and scooped his falinks into his arms and started to run towards the edge of the land and jump. suddenly from above a black portal opened up and the golurk that had been hiding came flying out like a rocket with some high horsepower behind it and grabbed onto the hero as it carried him towards the silver spire. "aim right there! right at the crowd!" he commanded while holding out one of his falinks at the crowd where was busy attacking the councilman to let his golurk know where to land

    tldr;
      * pokkenger hears and sees the commotion happening at the silver spire!
      * falinks uses no retreat (all status up +2 / cannot be switched out)
      * returns glastrier
      * golurk uses high horsepower to pick up pokkenger and his falinks!
      * pokkenger moves down towards bay area!
      * looks to bump into !

        Rowan watched with slight surprise as Diggersby was stricken down from the force of Hammer Arm, though he shouldn’t be considering the type advantage. “You should leave while you can.” He called out towards , having sympathy for the Gym Leader that once showed him kindness on a strange evening. Swampert moved in front of Rowan with the intentions of using Protect, expecting retaliation from their allies.

        Almost as though some cosmic force was determined to interfere with the suggestion, massive spatial rifts began to pull the city of Sootopolis apart into floating platforms among the sea of stars. “What the hell?” Immediate concern was driven towards Heket and Argos who had been trailing behind, glancing around with sudden relief that the Pokémon had managed to make it across in time.

         was one of the strongest trainers he knew, but even his Pokemon couldn’t withstand being piled on by multiple threats. “Argos, there.” Rowan gestured towards ’s Volcarona, watching as the Slowbro generated a Water Pulse in front of their maw before launching it towards them.

        A nod was given towards ’s Machamp, not finished with distracting the Gym Leader. “Heket, that one is yours.” The Seismitoad nodded, their throat bulging for a brief moment before spewing a messy Mud Shot towards the Machamp.

    Life throws the unexpected your way, and all you can do is adapt. As Sootopolis shifts, Killian prepares himself for the worse. He frowns, crouching atop Metagross to keep balanced. The roar off in the distance shivers his spine and beguiles his thoughts. [break][break]

    What is powerful enough to cause a change on this scale? Something mythical, obviously, but Killian can't search the depths of his mind for an answer. The people around him won't shut up long enough for him to get anywhere. Too busy bickering between one another to care they've pissed off something dangerous.[break][break]

    "Will you shut up? All of you." Rocket included. A sweeping motion beckons to the chaos unfolding around them. "More important stuff going on than Rocket and League right now." catch the bad guys, conquer the town - trivial in the face of something so mouthwateringly powerful and unknown.[break][break]

    Killian whistles, signaling Alakazam to leap from Naganadel's back down to his side. The Ultra Beast is returned and swapped out for Starmie. With the waters raging around them, having it out is a good idea. Of course, there is another reason to unleash the star. Faded, blue eyes narrow on , "I hear she went on vacation. Somewhere sunny, Alola, maybe? She wanted to get out of the Spotlight for a bit." [break][break]

    The red gemstone at Starmie's center shines brightly and casts a Spotlight on . "Perhaps you need a little taste as to why?" and then another whistle. With glowing eyes, Alakazam lifted her spoons into the air. Psychic Terrain spread along the ground of the spire. For the final act of his performance, Killian tapped the Metagross beneath him lightly with his foot. [break][break]

    "Cerebro, give em hell." crushing, dominating, and the Metagross produced an Expanding Force outward. Would it damage his allies? Yeah, but they'd be fine - it was only a love tap.[break][break]

    Well shit went south pretty quickly.

    Oscar gasped as a flashing projectile slammed into Trigon, sending them hurdling back toward the ground. Looking around the beast couldn't immediately find the source, so he decided to just focus on making sure Trigon was alright. He reached behind to pull himself onto Robbie's back, pointing toward Trigon once he was properly mounted. "Robbie, Desolence, to Trigon! Hurry!" 

    Oscar and his band got about half way there when a strange force began to pull them away. Oscar had barely any time to realize what was happening before he and his pokemon fell into a different area of the city. Robbie was able to slow his momentum, allowing him and Oscar to carefully land upon their new surface. Oscar expected Trigon and Desolence to land rather roughly, but whatever force that drew them in also placed them carefully on the ground.

    Oscar looked to Trigon, "You alright?" The bird was still in a laying position, raising its three heads to look at their master. Two of the heads nodded, affirming that they were more or less ready to proceed. The third however shook its head, which earned it a glare from its companions. It quickly changed its tune, nodding vigorously as their body rose to its feet.

    With that handled, Oscar took in his new surroundings. The city had--changed. Something had shifted the various levels, causing a bizarre mishmash of what was once a coherent metropolis. He spotted two important figures nearby right away: and . Across a small gap Adrian was staring down a masked warrior with his own personal sun. Serena had landed nearby, apparently pulled in by the same gravitational force that had pulled on Oscar. He was about to call out to her, when Oscar noticed a third figure.

    "Oh fuck."

    Was that fucking ? Shit, Oscar had no idea what her standing was currently so she was about the second to last person he wanted to run into right now. Oscar knocked on Desolence's back, cueing her to put up a Protective Shield. Oscar and Robbie floated over to her left, while Trigon hopped over to her right. Against his better judgement, Oscar called out to Kathrine.

    "Hey umm--you're in the Elite Four right!? I have no beef with you, so how about you just go on your way and we'll go on ours." Oscar was careful with his words, he didn't want to blow either of their covers. Oscar motioned to Serena, welcoming her to hide behind Desolence if she wished. Robbie and Trigon prepared for a possible tussle, with Robbie chuckling as he thought up a Nasty Plot and Trigon huffing and puffing as they built up their muscle mass with Bulk Up.

    tl;dr
    --Oscar and his team fall to Level One.
    --Oscar notices Kathrine nearby, calling out to her hoping that she'll leave them be and go on her way.
    --Desolence used Protect in case Kathrine attacked. Oscar motioned to Serena to hide behind Desolence if she felt compelled to.
    --Robbie Rotten used Nasty Plot.
    --Trigon used Bulk Up.
    --Oscar is trying not to shit himself.

    It seemed nothing would go to plan. Not the way it was imagined anyway. Chaos erupted everywhere around her and just when she thought she was beginning to get her bearings it was ripped from her again....literally. A distant roar is followed by and eerie silence catches Serena's attention for a moment. Then very ground beneath her feet began to shift and change, moving and hoisting itself in the air independently. [break][break]

    Serena tries to maintain her balance as her eyes widen in panic. "What in Arceus' balls--" she begins but doesn't get to quite finish she ready-made slur of curses. Pockets of spatial rifts were pulling Sootopolis apart at the seams. Whatever was doing this didn't care if random people got pulled along with it. [break][break]

    With a sudden jerk Serena was thrown from the platform where Gavin and the other members of her group were. Half a second and a well timed cut off shriek later and Serena was barreling through space and a sea of stars, that under any other circumstance would've left her breathless. Now all she had was panic and anxiety as her brain tried to comprehend what was going on and what to do next, if she could do anything. [break][break]

    Just when things were starting to get even more worrisome a GRAVITATIONAL FORCE yanks Serena yet again and pulls her in a specific direction. The whole experiencing is dizzying but it lasts only a moment. She's slammed on the ground hard enough to knock the wind from her lungs. With a groan she rolls over on her side in pain. [break][break]

    Cracking her eyes open to get her bearings once more she realizes she's been tossed to another level of Sootopolis. Her eyes catch a familiar figure in the distance but her vision is still fuzzy. With a grunt she slowly attempts to sit upright. When her vision clears she realizes she's staring at the back of her brother while he stands off with....someone. "Ad--" she croaked out before realizing she shouldn't give away his identity here. She fucked up enough when it involved him, didn't want to add another reason for him to be upset with her. [break][break]

    "Oh fuck." she hears Oscar's voice close to her and cranes her neck to see what's going on now. Following his gaze she eyes and feels a chill run down her spine. She did not want to deal with a fucking Elite Four right now. "My fucking luck is the worst." she muttered under her breath. [break][break]

    Without saying much Oscar signaled Serena to take cover behind his Shadow Nidoqueen and she did so quickly. Glancing around she didn't see her pokemon and wondered if they hadn't made the trip over with her. "Guys?" she whispered as panic began to settle in. If they had to fight against Katherine she was ill equipped. Gritting her teeth she bit back the curses that were on tongue. [break][break]

    Rumble moved beside her for a moment and after second she caught a glimpse of Caspurr's fur underneath. "Cas," she called out. He looked a little disoriented but otherwise was okay. He ended up protecting the rest from the fall even if he walked away a little more banged up because of it. She motioned for them to join her as she glanced back at Oscar as he made contact with Katherine. She'd need to think of a way to support him if everything went to shit. [break][break]

    The shift is sudden.

    Gravity betrays both Katherine and her pokemon in a familiar sense to that of Giratina’s realm itself. Where there is no law, where they are the law - but here they were not. At least not at this very moment.

    The elite four member dismounts her Noivern and makes a swift return to the ground shortly after inspecting their new location with a keen eye. Her entire team seemed disoriented by the experience, but not unable to cope. They, too, had some prior experience.

    Oscar’s words draw her attention next, earning him a thorough look from the Fairburne as her narrowed gaze fell upon his figure. His protective barrier is judged, searching for a goal and purpose in his defense.

    Was she an enemy?

    Or was he simply hoping to turn her into one?

    “I don’t think I can do that,” she confesses, feigning a frown. There’s not a hint of sadness in her tone nor is there regret. Truthfully, despite pleasant past experiences with Oscar (whom she did not recognize just yet), she had made up her mind already.

    Or was it Rocket that made it a point to push one of its most capable, loyal assets? Was it Rocket that made it a point to leave Katherine in the dark and treat her as though she were an average grunt?

    Perhaps one day such answers will be provided, but today was not about her. It was about .

    “You made it our beef when you joined a terrorist organization.”

    How very pot calls the kettle of her.

    “You made it our beef when your people kidnapped an innocent woman.”

    A friend— Katherine can almost say.

    The MIND BLOWN bomb carried by Noivern ticks. It sings of a beautiful, brilliant explosion that its creator had promised with each of its arrivals on the battlefield. But a single bomb would not suffice.

    A second one is created by the jester itself.

    The clown beheads itself then and there, following a cue from its owner. The Ultra Beast uses its own head as a bouncy ball, allowing it to grow to an appropriate size for its threat to be heard, but beyond that, seen.

    Can Rocket handle this? Yes. It absolutely can.

    Can only two members of Rocket handle this, however?

    ”. . . Answer for your crimes or run for your lives, Rocket. Bring back , and I’ll throw in a good word with the commissioner for you. Who knows, she might even arrange bigger cells for you guys.”

    Katherine’s eyes flash with a gleam of red, a streak of a sinister force revealing itself as she taps into the powers bestowed upon her by Giratina. The gravity in the immediate area is manipulated further as she declares rulership over this specific zone.

    As if she were tugging upon a rope tied around the ankle of Oscar’s Nidoqueen, The Malevolent seeks to pull the shielding pokemon away just as her own pokemon attack and both.

    “Fire.”


    Noivern’s bomb is thrown from the skies, aided by a boosting SUPERSONIC roar. Blacephalon’s own is thrown with a precise throw of its hand. And lastly, her Meowstick sings with its DISARMING VOICE, attempting to aid this combined assault.

    W79BV25s



    tl;dr: sorry for the long rp, shouldn't happen again (i hope)!
    - Katherine spots Oscar after he calls out to her. They do have beef, despite what he thinks. They exchange words.
    - After making her stance clear, she orders her pokemon to prepare their attack.
    - Two MIND BLOWN bombs are used. The one from the previous turn (held by Noivern), and the one Blacephalon creates this turn. Noivern also boosts its throw with a SUPERSONIC roar.
    - Meowstick also aids them with its DISARMING VOICE attack, but it's less important.
    - Katherine herself uses Giratina's powers to project a smaller-scale area of the distortion world. She attempts to use her limited control over gravity to pull the PROTECTING Nidoqueen away as her pokemon attack.
    - Using three salac berries.

    noah's resolve does not fade in the face of adversity. within the pounding barrack of his ribs, his heart is comforted by 's cover and the FLASH CANNON from 's MELTAN. quietly, thanks is uttered within the calm recess of his thoughts.

    still, the tides of this battle are ever changing. as his DIGGERSBY is downed by a masked marauder, the gym leader cries out as the world undergoes its seismological metamorphosis: "this city isn't yours!"

    he does not recognize the man from mt. pyre. only the harm dealt to his fainted hare.

    "cobra" he shouts to his machamp, directing it to and his pokemon. "take care of them!" a personal vendetta forces the mind to focus on the man who betrayed him.

    like fumes, questions rise from the crevasses forged by parting earth. but there is no time to ponder answers. with stunning speed, noah's BOUFFALANT HEAD CHARGES anything in the way of him and — but hooves halt before the bull can reach the underboss himself. instead, the bouffalant's sudden stop launches the gym leader into the air and toward . his body carves itself into a flying jump kick. briskly, one arm reaches out, pokeball glowing red as it seeks out its fainted DIGGERSBY.

    his machamp is coated in 's SEISMITOAD's MUD SHOT— but its LOWERED SPEED does not deter it from fighting forward to swing a deft THROAT CHOP at the amphibians bulbous neck.

    vnlCPbnH


    tl;dr


    - noah is on LEVEL 2.
    - interacts with rowan/thanks mason + doug inwardly
    - bouffalant HEAD CHARGES anything in the way of noah and gavin— but launches noah early so that he flies toward the underboss (unless anyone anything stops him)
    - machamp attempts to THROAT CHOP 's seismitoad
