READ CAREFULLY



[attr="class","ipad"]
FIRST SET:[break][break]
SPOILER: Click to show

- his slowbro is brave. dedicated. the pink pokemon, so affable in look and oblivious to the situation, is focused on maintaining its PSYCHIC. the fletchinder narrowly misses the slowbro, instead clutching on to dallas with dear life. as the slowbro plummets, the PSYCHIC is maintained long enough before it hits the first floor's sea of flames. the weight returns to dallas' form as he realizes the tragic fate of his fallen slowbro.[break][break]

's kabutops foot doesn't stop after its next step. it falls through with the plummeting board of wood. stumbling, the kabutops attempts to catch itself, its scythe-like limbs clawing into the wood flooring around it. sadly, those planks give way as well, and the fossil pokemon flails during its dramatic descent into the rising flames of the first floor.[break][break]

- zoroark is able to be recalled in the nick of time. the white-haired trainer, despite possessing a heart so heavy with loss, is able to dodge the collapsing floor as espeon clears the smoke with PSYCHIC. he escapes onward, in memory of his poor gabite.[break][break]

- her lycanroc is able to use the ROCK SLIDE to provide some footing in the broken floor, lodging large stones in particular patterns to provide temporarily tiling. yet, the stones eventually plummet too, succumbing to the gravity and weakening structure of the floors. thankfully, she escapes with her rock dog before the rocks fall away.[break][break]

- houndoom aims a FLAMETHROWER at the blank eye of one of the darmanitan. for a moment, the hellish canine is able to halt the incoming attack to give himself enough time to be recalled safely. they escape; this is too easy for an underboss like dominic.[break][break]

- before being recalled, isra's tsareena takes a potent whiff of smoke. it burns the pokemon's lungs and her sharp, long legs wobble with weakness. the plant queen faints with a trembling dance before being recalled. next, banette's strike seeks the blank eye of one of the darmanitan, the ghost has to evade a FLAMETHROWER from dominic's houndoom. instead, the ghost opts to escape with their trainer.[break][break]

- meowth leaps into victor's arms, but is singed by the flames. the poor cat is hurt... burned by the flames of the darmanitan and is yelping in pain. some of its fur is burned away, revealing pink flesh and warranting attention.[break][break]

- the quagmire discourages the flames from entering its space thanks to SAND TOMB. the sand snuffs out tendrils of flame before the amphibian attempts to MUDDY WATER the eye. sadly, it was too preoccupied to notice the eye had been attacked before. the darmanitan's eye retaliates one more time, sending a wave of flame that torches the quagmire, fainting it with its sacred fires despite its hearty, damp flesh. the quagmire is recalled as an unconscious ally.
[break][break]
[break][break][break]
SECOND SET:[break][break]
SPOILER: Click to show

's zorua evades the cone of flame with an impressive feat of acrobatics. afterward, the rocket dashes toward the exit, leaving the carnage of their second obstacle behind.[break][break]

's decidueye engulfs a lungful of smoke. it doubles over, coughing before collapsing to its knees, wings shivering in a dramatic prelude to its fainting. the owl is recalled successfully, but is now unconscious.[break][break]

's weavile is unable to avoid the cone of flames. the weavile screeches, the ice-type suffering doubly as it loses consciousness in the heat. the weavile is recalled, and the magmortar attempts to blast the right eye of the immobile darmanitan, biding enough time for them to escape.[break][break]

's swampert evades the attack swiftly, despite its lumbering form. avoiding the crumbled floor, the amphibian and its trainer escape. it is too early for them to fall.[break][break]

's kingdra continues to assail the darmanitan before being returned. the councilman's aromatisse PSYCHIC-floats him to safety and assists those straggling behind. for now, the councilman lives despite his weary state.[break][break]

's nidoqueen valiantly attempts to save gardevoir. the PROTECT deflects some of the flames, but the concentrating gardevoir is too busy. too loyal to avoid the incoming fire. the PSYCHIC suddenly loses its potency. the cause is realized upon glancing back or the inability to call back his pokemon. all that is left of gardevoir is a blackened mound wearing lily white.
[break][break]

[break][break][break]

MERCY / ONWARD:[break][break]
SPOILER: Click to show
@mercy is the first one out. she hears the cacophony behind her, but she presses on. she climbs several flights of stairs. occasionally, they lead into a floor.[break][break]

the floors are empty, save for old paintings of what appears to be a towns-person, a rural village, graves, and a large, sacred bird. sometimes, the paintings would reach into the walls of the staircase, featuring ho-oh soaring through the skies. eventually, the paintings would feature the bird meeting a young towns-person.[break][break]

the towns-person is eventually depicted on their knees, appealing to the bird alighting upon a village tower. subsequent paintings would feature the bird spreading its colorful wings with the sun shining grandly behind it. @mercy would see the final painting: a scene picturing the resurrection of all the dead in the village grave.[break][break]

near the top of the tower, @mercy would spot a man above her. shards of purple crystal trail his footsteps... it's the underboss. boris spots you and runs, cradling a fatigued jirachi in his arms. he dashes into an exit leading to the top of the tower. soon, the rest of the party would follow, close behind @mercy.[break][break]

at the top of the tower, above the clouds, the man lifts a torn turquoise paper tag: "by jirachi, i wish for you, ho-oh!" the sky intensifies with dawn's light and a large shadow looms over ahead... something is coming through the clouds.
[break][break]

NOTES:
[break]
a mod post will be posted on 1/8's evening, pst!
[break]
this is a cooldown round, meaning you can use this time to react/help each other, etc. you can have your character arrive at the top of the tower in your post. no rolls are needed in this round. there is no penalty for missing this round for posting!

He thought he heard a loud, piercing scream coming from Luna—but he’d shoved it out of his head. He’d have time to check on the Weavile later—he was watching Agni’s effort as the Thunderbolt attack blasted the Darmanitan right in the eye; allowing him enough time to whistle over the roar and have the Fire-type dash over to him.

“Agni, let’s go!” he shouted, waiting for the Fire-type to catch up to him before bolting up the stairs, following the others that were fleeing from the flames. While he’d missed the obvious hole in the floor due to his panic driving him forward, he continued to climb flight after flight of stairs—catching sight of various wall paintings that decorated the blank walls.

Shit, what if the flames torch this? I’d want to return here again to investigate… he thought, catching sight of a large, rainbow-colored avian with colorful, shiny wings. Some of the murals were too pretty and he really wanted to stop and observe them; but the threat of the unnatural fire reminded him that they had to keep moving—away from danger.

It wasn’t until he’d started noticing the purple shards scattered through the last flight of stairs did he realize that they were almost at the top—and the moment he’d burst out onto what he guessed was the rooftop of the temple behind some of the other members of the party.

It was here he caught sight of their target—the man that they had to bring back for questioning. What really alarmed him was the fact that the underboss was holding a turquoise-colored tag, and then…

Ho-oh? Wait, what?! He thought, quickly checking his PokéGear on his left hand—but nothing turned up. It was like the world had gone silent for a few moments… at least, until he caught sight of a gigantic shadow that passed overhead.

Oh, shit.


- Alexei doesn't realize that his Weavile had fainted during the recall attempt
- the Magmortar's Thunderbolt strikes the Darmanitan's blank eye, buying them enough time to get the hell out of the room
- starts following @mercy up the stairs, catching sight of the paintings dotting the other empty rooms as he climbs higher and higher
- ponders if it's a good idea to return here again to investigate the paintings. Catches sight of the multicolored bird, PRETTY
- notices the same purple crystals at the last flight of stairs before arriving at the rooftop
- sees the defected Rocket underboss, is about to call the attention of the party to the man before hearing the wish
- ponders what the fuck is Ho-oh, checks 'dex, no information found
- sees the gigantic shadow overhead
- has yet another OH SHIT moment in his head.

[attr="class","mercypost"]her togetic is at her heels. they manage to worm through the opening by the darmanitan. she takes one look back, breathing hard, knows that the fight will keep those occupied. and she takes to the stairs, running up them two at a time. 

as she runs, she's grabbing at her belt, letting loose her granbull, her clefable, even her wimpod. the pokemon fall into step behind her. she barely takes note of the paintings, sees them in her peripherals, but doesn't take the time to admire them. 

while the others are occupied, while she is by herself, she will have an opportunity. 

when she spots boris, her labored breathing is forgotten. "go," she orders her granbull. beau leaps in front of her onto all fours, angry snarl ripping through his throat. he shoves his shoulders against the rooftop door and throws it open.

the defected rocket is standing several feet before them. mercy's objective is within reach. her granbull is closing the distance. behind her, she hears footsteps, and she whirls, spots ivanov. 

"block the entrance." her clefable swivels and aims an ice beam at the door; ice crawls up its sides and slowly starts to form a barrier. "sweetheart," she orders and her togetic stands at the ready, eyes narrowed. 

"cripple him." the fairy type imbues itself in bright white light, tinged green, and above her head wavering forms quickly solidify; the summoned glowing rocks come together and then burst towards the gym leader.

her blood is pounding in her ears, and through it, she can barely make out the thwump-thwump of impossibly large wings approaching.  








notes:
> mercy sends granbull to incapacitate or knock boris off the edge
> mercy orders clefable to block the tower entrance with ice beam
> mercy orders togetic to attack with ancient power.

able to avert the mass of dangers, jay follows closely behind. his silence is overlooked as a shadow in the peak of the tower. swampert has retreated to its cold red shell and the man watches his fellow rocket ensue her duties of lynching the traitor. 

the wisp of a warm torrent creeps over them in the distinct beat of wings above. this is the build meant solely for ho-oh. artifacts appeal a story of savior in the dazzling god, but, he does not pay much mind to them.

he'd already known before the arrival. 

the rest of the stragglers in this nightmare have the final door seemingly smothered by a layer of ice. it leaves three, if not maybe more hidden by the shadowy cast of a grand light. "garchomp," he says, the beast erupts from its pokeball in a deafening roar, "kill him." golden eyes fall upon .

there is no ounce of doubt.

it charges at the man in terrifying menace. dragon rush should never be overlooked in the brutality of a garchomp. jay has trust in his companion. after every fragment of humanity lost in the blood which soaked into his hands, he discovers no fear, even now. 

just as quickly, he joins @mercy 's granbull in the advance. hoping the betrayer is far to swept up in the pokemon to have noticed another, jay poises his foot high and sudden. just maybe, the boot is enough to topple him off the edge. 

maybe, it is just enough to take hold of jirachi.

He waits for to reach him as both of them entered the next floor. Eyes would watch the Garchomp as it charged straight to the Gym Leader as he did. Of course, any nuances to the assassination would be dealt with and any actions capable of doing such were allowed. He'd turn to both Lucas and , the two of them being the closest to him. "Maybe we shouldn't get involved," he'd mention, the tone painfully dull and fearful.

A quick sleight of hand would release his Shroomish from his Pokeball in a moment's notice. "Spore." With the only exits being blocked by ice on one end, and fire on the other, the whole room would soon be enveloped in a cloud of sleep-inducing pollen, boosted by the Espeon's Helping Hand. He'd hope to induce panic to the League's side, while members of Rocket should already be aware of the objective and be on their way to the target instead of lingering around.

His Espeon wrapped himself protectively around Priam's shoulders, eyes wary for any attacks to his trainer. The Psychic-type's eyes would glow in a bright blue, it's psychic abilities ready for any retaliation. Naivete forced him to stay in his place, partly to make sure nothing bad happens to Lucas.

  • Takes his Shroomish out
  • Uses a Helping Hand-boosted Spore to fill the room with, uh, spore
  • espeon gets protective

His poor kitty! Vibes the Meowth had been ravaged by the flames. The burned Pokemon was serving BBQ Cat realness as it laid there in Victor's arms. The sad trainer carried his Pokemon with him as he followed around. Vibes had a very sad expression on its face as it wondered how it was going to be such a beautiful cat with his fur scorched off.

"Oh Priam!!!" Victor whined with the endearing nature of a baby. "What have we gotten ourselves into?!" Now there was fighting? Over there that hot beefcake was now trying to kill somebody? Jesus! How could anyone have a crush on such an evil man? Certainly it wouldn't be that girl Victor saw eyeing Jayde earlier, right? Right?!

Victor let out a loud, audible sigh as he flopped down, sitting on the floor cross legged like a little kid. He had had enough of this place! It had brought him nothing but trouble and now he was in a team with a white haired teenager and Tsundere Lane, himself! How had this even happened? He could have been at the ice cream parlor or something!

Sighing he looked up at Priam and made a whining noise. Vibes the cat sorrowfully licked at its wounds. "Do you guys want to get bubble tea after this."


tldr: @aal i named a meowth after you and it got burned just like how you did when you went in that pizza oven :weary:

Mere inches separated Hawks and Bom. While the fear and surprise of the fall were visible in the Slowbro’s eyes, it tried its best to hide it with bravery. Following its one last command to the end.[break][break]

“Hawks, drop down! We need to catch him.” Despite the demands, the Fletchinder refused. As if the two Pokemon had wordlessly agreed what was best. To get Dallas through that door and away from the fiery carnage. He pleaded and struggled like a child but defeat soon sank in once the psychic glow that enveloped him vanished for the last time.[break][break]

The Fletchinder and its trainer crashed landed through the entrance. Dallas lay there for a moment as the chaos continued to grow. The Rocket’s that had infiltrated them now showed their true colours. No time to wallow in the loss of his friend and companion. He had to continue on. Make sure the sacrifice of the goofy pink Pokémon was not wasted.[break][break]

Ice blocked their path, but for the fire type, it was no obstacle. Hawks and her trainer charged forward as she fired a Fire Blast into the wall of cold. The intense heat melted it away as they continued onto the top of the tower.[break][break]

“Snivy, block it.” The green snake was released from its Pokeball and immediately into the thick of it. Quickly forced to raise a translucent shield to protect the stranger, , with Reflect.[break][break]

Dallas held back near the stranger that was being bombarded with attacks. The two Rocket’s blocking the path to their goal. “Hawks make sure that guy doesn’t become a splat on the ground.” Within seconds the bird swooped in behind the defective Rocket with speed from Quick Attack. Claws dug into his back to keep him from falling. Eyes peered curiously at the Jirachi. It was tempting to try and grab it, but not yet. The Fletchinder would simply try its best to guard both the Jirachi and the Underboss while perched on his shoulders.[break][break]

“Yungoos, stick with me.” Dallas remained behind Snivy and its protective shield. Now with a weasel wrapped around his neck. Glaring at the hostile Rocket Pokemon with a Scary Face. Fangs bared. All they needed to do now was wait and hope that more League members arrived up these stairs first than Rocket.[break][break]

---------------------------------------------[break][break]

RIP Slowbro.[break][break]
Fletchinder deletes the Ice Beam wall with Fire Blast.[break][break]
Snivy used Reflect to protect from the incoming attacks.[break][break]
Fletchinder uses Quick Attack to reach the underboss and keep him from falling. Keeping its eye on the Jirach too :eyes:.[break][break]
Yungoos chills around Dallas' neck while using Scary Face.[break][break]

NIKOLAI PETROV Avatar
the moment he feels the PSYCHIC dissipating, he knows the fate of his gardevoir. he doesn't need to turn to see the flames engulfing her body, scorching and burning until there's nothing left but charred remains.

despite the loss, he only falters in his step for a second before regaining his composure. he remains on his feet, able to walk, and the reason for it is unknown to most. but to nikolai, this is something he's prepared for.

he is also no fool: he notices the intricate paintings on the walls as he climbs the rest of the stairs. he knows what this tower holds and what fate it will bring.

' fletchinder melts the ICE BEAM wall in no time, providing them a passageway into the top of the tower just in time for him to see the scene unfolding.

with sides quickly being formed, he chooses his. he calls out the rest of his team: nidoking, nidoqueen, escavalier, charizard.

this is the endgame.

he looks to @mercy, then , but doesn't point.

"targets." 

charizard's HEAT WAVE surges through the room, seeking to burn even allies but what's vital to their success is how the flames render 's SPORES useless.

a moment after that, SMOKESCREEN fills the room. its texture and weight is heavy enough to not get blown away by the winds; it lingers and hangs like a thick smog over the group, refusing to dissipate despite the openness of the room.

the lack of visibility allows a few things:

a sudden STONE EDGE bursts out from underneath , looking to smack him right off the tower. without prep time, there's no predicting it. and also given what's below them, the rock is scorching hot. this is what happens when he's left stranded alone, isolated from their garchomp.

the same applies for @mercy, who might only have a mere clefable to try and counter. but, again, without prep time, it's impossible to predict.

nidoking and nidoqueen act in unison: both STONE EDGES protruding from the ground at the exact same time. how will and @mercy react?

his pokemon surround him, providing him cover because they know, he knows, that they have to act as a single unit. SWORDS DANCE and FOCUS ENERGY are the preparations they take. they start moving towards:

"boris!"


» HEAT WAVE clears the room of SPORE.
» SMOKESCREEN fills the room, restricting vision.
» STONE EDGE erupts from underneath jay and mercy at the same time, looking to smack 'em off the roof bye.
» nikolai and his four pokemon close the distance between them and boris.

league is not as undermined as he originally thought.

the ice is a weak hold against the flare of heat, smoke bursts forth in a heavy layer and forces the advance into a sudden halt. what had been so clear in his eyes dwindles into the coverage. 

jay takes the force with measure for its power. he barely avoids the molten burst of stone, it catches the side of his face, blinding him before his figure slips from the edge. lungs— knocked of oxygen strangle against the current. even in the ache, roused upon his stomach and face, he forces through it quickly. 

"fira!" charizard comes without delay. she gathers the situation quickly before swooping beneath her companion. jay is frazzled by the attack, but regains his composure as the beast thrums her wings back and towards the smog covered peak. 

meanwhile, aza glares just as fiercely towards the opposing pokemon. the massive dragon does not find fear as the league swarm into the room like uninvited pests. the void of isolation floods itself in bitterness and rage. especially as jay is struck from the brink.

a deafening roar reverberates, startling any onlookers that have yet to take action. aza hovers into the air, slamming back into the ground as a destructive earthquake forms. surely the floor will start to collapse. 

the equally hostile charizard appears behind  fletchinder and before the approaching . golden pierces into those below and the disaster enacted by his garchomp. knowing it wasn't his original intent yet— relishing in the distraction it made.

"flamethrower." jay says upon the back of aza. flames slip past its jaws in tiny ounces, eventually cascading towards boris and jirachi. clearly he had no regard for the life of the tiny legendary or those close—by.

She is late to the party, having let her eyes pass over the painting far too much as they trek upward, her gardevoir still at her side, her banette released again in case he is needed. It is not until the commotion reaches a point where it cannot be ignored that she rushes upward with her pokemon in tow.

It takes her only a moment and a hand gesture to make her decision. The gardevoir does not need to be told more as she teleports to the man, though she care little for him, she seeks to grab the Jirachi and teleport back to her trainer with the pokemon in her arms. Giving him safety. They can have the man.

She releases her dragon, the zweilous throws himself into a tizzy amidst the trouble of everything that is happening. Her whistle starts the cacophony of crying heads. The work up >> Hyper voice tactic meant as a decoy to distract the rest of the room from her Gardevoir's attempt at the legendary pokemon. If left unattended, as she fully intends, the dragon will only get louder until he is deafening.

Isra and her Banette are used to it, the ghost type emitting a massive Phantom force across the room amidst the waves of the hyper voice, seeking to hit as much of the room as possible and keep eyes on them.


>>Isra enters the room after staring at the paintings too long
>>Gardevoir tries to teleport, grab Jirachi and telport back to Isra- she has one chance to not fuck up here
>>Zweilous is released near the entrance and uses work up >> hyper voice to create a distraction from what her gardevoir is doing
>>Banette uses his Phatom force in tandem with Hyper voice to further the distraction

Emma's break for the exit proved successful. Lycanroc nimbly traversed his rocky terrain. As he turned to ensure Emma and Nikolai's safety, the rocks began to crumble and fall to the first floor behind them. Whoever was left behind would have to figure out their own way across.[break][break]

The Lycanroc used his body as a shield as they quickly made their way up the stairs. He didn't flinch at the untimely fate of the Gardevoir, and instead focused on protecting his people.[break][break]

Emma's hand holds Nikolai's intensely as they ascend the staircase. She saw a brief flash of pink hair, Mercy, just as the woman braved the last few steps. There's another young man, the one who had been the one to educate them on the Darmanitan, who makes it just after Mercy.[break][break]

Adrenaline courses through her veins, disallowing her a chance to catch her breath or properly evaluate the situation. Everything is a blur, and suddenly, people are fighting.[break][break]

She's barely had time, nor the care, to take a look at the intricate paintings and statues and articles of information pertaining to the legendary bird Ho-oh. Through the thickening smokescreen, through the ice and flames, through the shouts of fear and rage, Emma can see the faintest outline of Boris.[break][break]

The man clutches what appears to be a small Pokemon, though it's hard to tell with all of the commotions. Mercy and Jayde have already announced their plan of attack, effectively outing themselves to all of the league. [break][break]

Emma, however, hesitates. She was ordered to assassinate Raskolnikov, but at this point is hard-pressed to avoid it. Her loyalty lies with herself first and foremost, and given the brief shout Boris had exclaimed, she's convinced that attacking him isn't safe. [break][break]

She's standing next to Nikolai when the man orders his Charizard to attack Jayde and Mercy. She shows no remorse for their potential demise, given that her loyalty does not truly lie with her organization. They are merely pawns, and she knows, deep down, that Silas doesn't give a damn about what happens to them, or her.[break][break]

Two spires of stone break through the floor, effectively knocking Jayde from his perch. The man falls from the tower for an instant, only to be retrieved by his Charizard. Emma's expression is cold, calculating. Her gaze sweeps the area as she considers what she might do.[break][break]

The woman follows Nikolai as he begins his approach. She follows almost mindlessly, her Lycanroc keeping pace. He hasn't broken his focus on his master, his muscles are tensed to protect her at any cost.[break][break]

She doesn't even need to speak, especially now that an unbearably painful noise threatens to burst her eardrums. Through the smoke, she can see a Zweilous causing a fuss. The beast is a distraction, doing anything in its power to draw attention to itself.[break][break]

Emma glances down at the ground as it begins to shake. Jayde has caused an earthquake, something that threatens to swallow them all whole. There's a trickle of panic that settles in her chest. None of her Pokemon could survive an earthquake, not at this height.[break][break]

Admittedly, Emma knows very little about the powers of Jirachi, however, she can warrant a guess that that Pokemon is the reason so many are fighting for its attention. [break][break]

She feels that she must do something though, and her thoughts indicate that perhaps the Jirachi may help Nikolai.[break][break]

Ariados appears in a brief flash of light. The giant spider is easily lost in the smoke screen, which Emma is inclined to believe will help them.[break][break]

"Save the Jirachi."[break][break]

She utilizes her shadow sneak, enveloping herself in the smokescreen so that she may remain undetected. The spider is quick, nimbly closing the distance between herself and Boris. [break][break]

As she gets closer, she does the best she can to avoid flames from Jayde's Charizard, who clearly is trying to fry everyone - and spits a spider web in an attempt to snatch the Jirachi to safety.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Emma continues to stand by Nikolai, her Lycanroc joining the lineup of Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Escavalier and Charizard.[break][break]

Should Ariados have successfully retrieved the Jirachi, she will have immediately gone back into her shadow sneak to return to Emma.[break][break]

tldr:[break]
> enters the final stage with nikolai[break]
> is mostly stunned for the better half of the attacks[break]
> weighs her options for not protecting her fellow rockets[break]
> stands with nikolai to protect him[break]
> realises that jirachi may be important so attempts to rescue it[break]
> releases ariados who uses shadow sneak and spider web to try and rescue the jirachi and return it to emma[break]

[attr="class","mercypost"]she would have died.

in a heartbeat, smoke has filled her lungs, a ghost with unfinished business. her last pokeball flies free not by choice, but because she turns too swiftly in a moment of panic, because fate would have it so. 

she feels the ground beneath her burn the rubber of her soles; pointed rocks splinter beneath her. pain blossoms in her shoulder, bright red, immeasurable. her breath is stolen from her as armored arms clasp around her. black spots dance in her vision and she raises a limp hand to feel at her shoulder.

she comes to moments later, hazily makes out the back of nikolai's form as he pushes onward with his pokemon towards boris. 

and then she looks up, slackjawed, at her now-evolved golisopod. the green shimmer of his PROTECT fades. she stands, albeit weakly, palm pressed to her pierced shoulder. her injured arm won't respond properly. she'll have to deal with it later. 

"kill them," she seethes to the pokemon. "kill them all."

he was slow, too far behind, not only from the need to assure the safety of others, but because his body was at its limit.

muscles ached with each step of the stairs he took, shallow breaths clouded with smoke only adding to his fatigue. he wanted to just lie down on the spot and let whatever happened happen, but then he’d miss all the action.

so he continued forth, each step anguish on his already worn body.

when he had made it up he could only see that chaos had started to unfold. it seems that the rockets within had finally decided to show their true colors, lashing out at all those that dared to impeded them.

he’d let out a sigh, rolling his neck- cracking it in the process- then look for his target, boris.

it seemed that the dying man himself was going full balls to the wall with his approach, moving in on their target with a poke-wall of protection.

a chuckle escaped kim, his smile appearing once again as he gave mental props to nikolai. he sure knows how to make an impact.

a snap of his fingers would call the aromatisse to his side, a shuckle and lumineon being released as he ushered commands to the pokemon.

“vienne, soak ruffles. ruffles, psychic that lizard in place and protect the underboss and jirachi. jivi, stone edge it while it’s still.”

once the commands were given they would be quickly executed, the lumineon soaking the aromatisse with water, its type changing as it propelled itself forward, closing the gap between her and the charizard before taking the brunt of the flamethrower, its effect dulled by her newly acquired typing. once the flames dispersed she would hold the pokemon in place with psychic, and with the shuckle seeing its chance to strike, it would summon jagged stones, their pointed edges aimed straight at the charizard as they launched forward.

ღ   one of the last to make it up, tired man
ღ   watched nikolai charge boris
ღ   used soak to make aromitisse water type and take that                    flamethrower like a champ
ღ  aromatisse used psychic to hold 's charizard in place while shuckle uses stone edge on it from the background

FERNANDO SILPH Avatar
fernando does not recall his garchomp. the pokemon proves too reliable a steed to dismount. the rest of the tower proves a test of stamina and most are left out of breath. while fernando takes his time scaling the tower, the stairs are nothing for the land shark. it glides up with a brutish grace that's fit for a predator. the interior and paintings that adorn the wall are caught by his silph scope, tucked away for later as the raw video is transmitted at the first sign of a good signal.

the sound of the other garchomp's roar is the signal for operation burgundy. only select individuals are aware of the plan but those privy have been long aware there are rockets amid their ranks. fernando glances back, confirming that the other party hasn't betrayed him, before taking off. his ditto comes out during their flight upwards and TRANSFORMS into a second garchomp.

a burst of speed allows them to follow suite. the obstacles have already been taken care of - nikolai's charizard has already defused the SPORES and dallas' fletchinder had burst through the door. there is no further obstacles to reach the roof and fernando does so as the pokemon takes off to the skies, gaining a vantage point from above and from outside the SMOKESCREEN. among the chaos below, between the skirmishes between numerous combatants, they're allowed free reigns to charge their energy.

glalie is brought out and left somewhere among the mess. the pokemon activates PROTECT on instinct, inadvertently shielding itself from the EARTHQUAKE and UPROAR that now pervade the field. between the alteration with @doug and the slateport invasion, the pokemon knows to PROTECT the moment it's called upon. fernando only brings it out during moments of danger or after a proper setup has been laid out. in this case, it was the former, and the pokemon was correct to react accordingly.

the source of the EARTHQUAKE may find cover in the smokescreen but the roar it lets out prior to attacking is a dead giveaway. numerous ICE SHARDS are fired off in an unrelenting volley, straight from the glalie's open mouth.

numerous members make their move for the jirachi and it becomes a convoluted game of hot potato. fernando's focus is elsewhere. the game becomes much easier with less players. following up with kim's attack on jayden's charizard, the two garchomps assault it from above, separated to layer their attacks in a neat formation. targeting it becomes easy since it's the only other opponent outside of the SMOKESCREEN and is preoccupied with using FLAMETHROWER on boris.

whether the pokemon is pinned down by PSYCHIC doesn't matter. the DRACO METEOR that comes forth is physically manifested as a a ball of concentrated draconic energy. however, instead of the traditional rendition of the attack which relies on them firing the attack upwards, they launch it straight at the charizard. half way in, the attack disperses into a vast bombardment of blasts. the end result is a shotgun spray of DRACO METEOR that comes from two angles, layered to fill in the gaps that the other may miss, while strewn high enough not to conflict with any projectiles fired off from the roof's ground level.



the sheer power of the attack is enough to blast away anything the charizard's immediate vicinity. if that means jayden or boris getting caught in the cross fire, so be it. operation burgundy is secondary to the main objective.

jirachi must not fall into the wrong hands.


  • rides his garchomp up to the roof
  • summons ditto who TRANSFORMS into garchomp when he hears what sounds like battle
  • flies above the SMOKESCREEN and watches from above, channeling energy
  • glalie is brought out on the rooftop and PROTECTS against all aoe attacks
  • it uses ICE SHARD at the source of the earthquake: jayden's garchomp
  • garchomp and d!garchomp use DRACO METEOR on jayden + charizard from their positions - they're above everyone else and slightly apart so should cover a different angle
