Lucas made his way through the swirling staircases of the tower. Occasionally he'd stop for the briefest moment. Ancient art adorned the tower's walls. He yearned to take it all with him, to add each one to his collection. Each and every piece was priceless. Alas, the collector didn't have the time. Footsteps echoed through the many floors of the tower as he ran up and up. He felt as if there was no end in sight, till he heard it. The cries of battle, of pain.

The head scientist inched up the last steps that lead to the top floor. His head poked out, taking in what was happening on the top floor.

People were fighting. It was crazy.

Explosions startled the brunette momentarily. Falling back to the safety of the staircase Lucas went over his options. It'd take a few beats for him to plan out his next actions. "Rapid spin. On my command, we teleport," he said. The claydol hummed in understanding. Lucas and claydol rushed up the stairs and into the smokescreen. Claydol span, sending the smoke reeling off the edges of the tower floor. An eye caught sight of Boris and Jirachi. "Teleport, now!"

  • rip kabutops
  • Ran up saw stuff going down, went to stairs to think
  • Cleared all the smoke with Claydol's rapid spin
  • Teleports Lucas and itself to Jirachi
  • Lucas and like 20 other people grab for Jirachi I don't know anymore

I was so lost this round

"Yeah. Sure!" he ended with a note. His shoulders would give way to a shrug, leaving a smile to before releasing his Druddigon. He'd ride it as he left to enter the fray, returning his Shroomish to its ball before doing so.

He knew he cannot reach Jirachi or Boris in time with all of these people having Pokemon with Teleport. The next best thing he could do was to make sure that the other members of Rocket were able to do their jobs without much interference. The floor was quick to evolve into a battlefield, and any kind of help to aid their survival was appreciated, he supposed.

"Espeon! Over there!"

Priam motions towards 's Charizard. His Espeon's own Psychic tries to counteract the move that tried to freeze it in place. "Helping Hand!" The move aimed to at least give the Charizard enough boost to dodge the incoming attacks as soon as it gets out of its stasis.

"Dragon Rage, Druddi."

His attention goes to the Druddigon, who he guides towards Boris. In front of them was with four of his Pokemon out. Blue flames would be expelled from the Dragon-type's maw as they rushed forward, aiming to incinerate those that stood their way.

  • Recalls his Shroomish as he mobilizes
  • Rides his Druddigon to battle
  • Espeon uses Psychic to cancel the other Psychic on Jayde's Charizard
  • Espeon buffs Charizard with Helping Hand
  • Druddigon uses Dragon Rage on Nikolai and his team

he slips in behind @mercy - having made quick work of the stairs because at least he has the stamina to do that much. the images of paintings featuring the legendary bird pokemon flash by him and dominic has to clench his jaw. he has no intention of trifling with one legendary, let alone two.

out on the platform, it only takes a second, a single spark for the chaos to ignite around them.

"boris? he yells out, a question and a demand. only for a moment is dominic taken aback when the call is made in unison with . he takes a moment to regard the gym leader's silhouette through the smoke. only cowards hide behind their pokemon like that. how suitable.

he can't stop the stealth rock, but he's not sure he would have if he could. and @mercy branded themselves as enemies by breaching the veil of secrecy, the facade of togetherness that granted them safe passage. jay's too far for him to contact with any subtlety, and the barrage of attacks aimed at him prevent dominic from trying. as it is, he can barely make out anything through the smoke.

the contempt for their rocket "leader" crystallises slowly over the course of their journey upwards and truly comes to a head when dominic sees mercy bleed. the fact that they shouldn't die on the orders of silas, a man characterised by inaction, a man who they seldom see and who commands from an ivory tower, is something he'll raise with her later.

the ground shudders beneath them, and dominic recognises the tell-tale mark of an earthquake. a flick of the wrist is enough to release a hydreigon to his side. the pokemon's levitate keeps it from being threatened by the attack, and dominic curls a fist into the fur of its neck, ready to take to the air if the footing falls away.

the loud noises emanating from 's pokemon are defeaning, dominic winces, but it's not enough to sway him. indeed, it falls into the background; this is still nothing compared to the sacking of a kanto city. through the smoke, he can make out streaks of figures heading toward boris and the bundle in his arms. unable to ascertain who is friend or foe, no one is allowed to touch the man who is - was - his peer.

a second pokemon is released and scuttles ahead, scales flashing in an iron defense as it seeks to serve as a shield to the defector, protecting him from harm. if anyone grabs on to the man and tries to teleport him, they'll also have to take the 450 pound insect pokemon.

the legendary pokemon, ho-oh, looms overhead. dominic can see the shadow of its wings, the tinging of rainbowed halos of the feathers. the fist entwined in his hydreigon's fur tightens.


≫ ignores and @mercy, sorry
≫ releases hydreigon + ready to avoid dmg from earthquake + catch people if they fall
≫ releases scolipede + protects boris + scolipede is close enough to smack anyone who gets close
≫ smoking ben affleck @ all this

On the one hand, having come up slightly ahead of everyone else was good, as he’d caught sight of their primary objective.

However, at the same time it proved to be a terrible idea as two members of the team suddenly… wait, what? Blinking a few times, he then stared in silent shock as a pink-haired woman suddenly turned around and sic’d her Togetic on him!

He barely had time to think before seeing the incoming Ancient Power, and made to roll out of the way, whistling in his Magmortar’s direction to do the same. Once he’d managed to get away from her, he looked up—and then realized that he was trapped in between a rock and a hard place.

“Agni! Flamethrower the Togetic!” he began, pointing at the Pokémon with his left hand, before seeing another member of the squad suddenly turn on him with a Garchomp, roaring and headed right his way with what he recognized to be a Dragon Rush attack!

What the fuck, they’re not… oh, fuck! He thought in a panic, grabbing a Pokéball at random and quickly tossing it out, hoping against hope he’d grabbed the right one and yelled the command to Protect against the incoming attack—breathing out a sigh of relief as he saw the form of his Salamence emerge from the burst of red light, quickly roaring in the other draconid’s direction before throwing a Protective screen up in front of not just him, but the man the Salamence considered more than a companion at that point as well—a father he’d sworn to protect ever since the day they’d first met in the region all those years ago.

Hoping that the Protect held, the Salamence then sought to rebound backwards, before Alexei shouted out a command to lash out with a Dragon Claw in the Garchomp’s face—knowing that he was playing a rather risky game here. Whether or not it would connect, he braced himself—raising his left hand to protect his face before a sudden burst of flames erupted around him.

Thankfully, it was Agni and Gabriel who were out; so nothing too dire affected them. Things were fine for a few moments, at least until… the damned floor started shaking. Squinting through the sudden cloud of Smokescreen haze, he let out a loud yelp before the Salamence came back in his direction with a burst of speed, picking Alexei up with his tail before unceremoniously dropping him on its back.

“Ow! Gabe! Be careful,” he hissed, slightly annoyed but secretly very thankful for the quick action that the draconid had done. Realizing that he’d left the Magmortar on the ground, he quickly pulled out Agni’s Pokéball and quickly recalled it, hoping that it wouldn’t get knocked out due to the force of the rumbling shaking the entire area.

While he couldn’t get his thanks out in time to the kid who had the Snivy, more and more people were finally arriving—but it was such an Arceus-damned mess, the best thing he could do was urge his Salamence to fly higher, above the obscuring Smokescreen so they could at least steer clear of the insanity that was erupting below.

He then remembered that the defector was probably in the middle of so much chaos and madness, he dug into the sling and popped another Pokéball to full size and tossed it forward, watching as his Aerodactyl emerged from the burst of red light.

“Terra, fly down there and save the one holding the sleeping Pokémon! But be careful, speed up with Agility and dodge any attacks if you need to,” he instructed the Aerodactyl, who let out a prehistoric screech and boosted his speed with Agility, skirting around the obscuring darkness and swooping down as close as he could to where Boris was either possibly still standing or had been knocked over and was now pretty much falling to his death.

He'd worry about Jirachi later, he’d worry about that massive shadow overhead later; for now he had to secure their target!


- Sees the incoming Ancient Power attack, whistles as a signal to his Magmortar to roll away at the same time he does (whoops, that’s gonna agitate his arm when he realizes what he did later)
- Instructs Magmortar to use Flamethrower on the Togetic
- Turns and sees the incoming Garchomp, mind goes blank for 0.5 seconds before pulling a random Pokéball and tossing it forward
- Also realizes that there are potential ‘traitors’ in the crowd, whoopsidoodle
- Salamence emerges, Intimidate cues in before Alexei instructs Salamence to use Protect to block the incoming attack
- Salamence then chains into a Dragon Claw attack aimed at the Garchomp
- A sudden burst of flame (the flames that neutralized Spore) erupts around the room, he raises his left arm to protect himself. (thank the fuck he has Magmortar and Salamence out so the effects of the Fire-type attack won’t hurt too much)
- The Earthquake shakes the floor, Salamence comes in and literally picks up Alexei with his tail before dropping the surprised man astride its back
- Recalls Magmortar because holy shit the floor is shaking, what the hell
- Flies up and away from the insanity breaking out on the ground, sends out Aerodactyl
- Instructs Aerodactyl to catch Boris if ever he fell down from the tower, also instructs the Fossil Pokémon to use Agility to speed up and evade any and all attacks headed its way
- Alexei is now flying above the battlefield astride the Salamence

READ CAREFULLY



[attr="class","ipad"]
SUMMARY:[break][break]
@mercy's granbull charges toward boris; does the same, charging for the underboss, but the two are interrupted by 's meddlesome STONE EDGE. the dying gym leader is not done, however. he interferes with 's shroomish and the SPORE cascading from its domed form. a HEATWAVE burns the spores into cinders, prompting the young rocket to engage in combat with him, interrupting 's charge for boris. a flash of recognition crosses boris' face, but he's too preoccupied to respond.[break][break]

during this time, a SMOKESCREEN begins to fill the space, expanding forth from the center of the open roof.[break][break]

in the chaos of broken trust, ' charizard expels a violent FLAMETHROWER toward boris and the jirachi. yet, the flames are repelled by 's scolipede and its well-timed PROTECT. the underboss continues to protect his former peer, the IRON DEFENSE of the scolipede contesting 's lycanroc's claws and teeth.[break][break]

the SCARY FACE of ' yungoos catches 's ariados' gaze. the SHADOW SNEAK slows enough to prevent the arachnid from reaching boris successfully, but a SPIDER WEB sticks to jirachi's body as the wishmaker whines in a drowsy, pitiful condition. the smoke decreases visibility dramatically; yet, has been patient. despite 's zweilous and the HYPER VOICE, his attention is similarly hyper-focused...[break][break]

an EARTHQUAKE from 's garchomp rocks the tower. the flooring cracks unnervingly, but does not give way. yet. those with keen ears will be able to hear the groan of a bending pillar of wood. the quaking ground would rattle 's bones; the vertigo of being up so high is intensified as quakes threaten everyone's stability. soars to the air with his salamence, his aerodactyl on standby. in the air, he comes close to the alighting ho-oh... but the bird looks different than expected...[break][break]

as and contest 's garchomp within the smoke, and make their move.[break][break]


[break][break][break]

DESPERATION:[break][break]
boris mutters to : "thanks." he cradles his jirachi; although, the wishmaker possessed the ability to grant wishes, the defected rocket understood the pokemon had its limitations. however, ho-oh ruled over another domain. a domain implicated by the paintings was so enraptured by.[break][break]

's gardevoir teleports right beside dominic at the same time as the league's head scientist: . his claydol looms ominously above the defected rocket. it's fast. the two league members, poised to snatch them, act. act too quickly even for . thankfully, the underboss is not alone.[break][break]

darts out from the smoke like an assassin of shadow. his pawniard NIGHT SLASHES in a dramatic X-shape. the steel blades strike across the league members' gardevoir and claydol, forcing them to recoil as the red-headed rocket throws a hardened fist at 's jaw. the man, feeling so trapped by rocket's insidious movements, acts on desperate resolve. he's unwilling to give in to rocket's immoral pulse as his heart beats closer and faster toward the end.[break][break]

flames suddenly course into the smoke, destroying the DRACO METEORS spawned by 's assault. the meteors explode into fantastic fireworks of stone before scattering onto the cracking roof like hail. finally, something descends. the ominous sounds of wings flapping. the SMOKESCREEN is swiftly dispelled to the sides of the roof and away into the open air.[break][break]

[break][break][break]

HO-OH:[break][break]
ho-oh's grand form comes into view for all to see; yet, it's different (example: here. twisted by the limitations of jirachi's wish fulfillment, the mythical bird's body courses with cinder and dead, blank eyes. this is a false ho-oh. with a terrifying shriek, the alien-textures of the bird shimmer with melting hues of a rainbow.[break][break]

needing to perch, the false ho-oh brandishes its talons and swipes wide. with a dramatic cry, pushes boris away as the talons strike their position. boris falls hard, arms still wrapped around his jirachi. ' fletchinder and 's aerodactyl attempt to react to the man's fall, but they are repelled by what happens next. everyone watches as the talons claw into 's form. they tear through his flesh, dragging skin from muscle from bone before cutting through his body like a stuck zipper forced through gore. the ho-oh lands. the tower creaks.[break][break]

's body collapses in pieces. boris screams. another mountain of guilt pressing upon his chest. the false ho-oh's corrupt presence is aroused by the violence, and with a celebratory screech, expels a SACRED FIRE in a dramatic fan across the entire roof, just past boris (and , and his claydol + 's gardevoir should they choose to stay by boris). boris' unovan suit is singed on the edges.[break][break]

boris, in a rushed lament, asks false ho-oh for his true desire. "bring back the boy... i sent off to the caves." he trembles, averting his gaze away from the slaughter of 's corpse. "please... my heart is so heavy." the ho-oh caws and drapes a defiled wing around its body. a muddy shine emanates from the creature's feathers before the wing pulls away.[break][break]

the defected underboss looks on, his eyes wide with anticipation, but what is revealed is nothing he hopes for. a rotting, burning slop of a body stumbles forth. a lame, festering leg and body riddled with holes slumps forth. air hisses from the punctured lungs and neck of a resurrected @joey who wavers in the burning aftermath of the SACRED FIRE.[break][break]

NOTES:
[break]
please try to post by 1/15's evening, pst!
[break]
ALMOST EVERYONE MUST ROLL TO AVOID THE SACRED FIRE / FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO BE BY BORIS, ROLL FOR WHATEVER ACTION YOU DO.

she had lingered on the floor below for a good while, a terrible fit causing her to gag and cough as her lungs attempted to more thoroughly expel the smoke that had filled them in abundance. as multiple individuals rushed past cait allowed her a moment's rest, her burning eyes squeezing tightly shut as she gasped and sputtered.

"ugh."  

but once the woman had recovered and the sounds of battle had reached her ears, she had mounted the stairs and stared in bewilderment at the scene before her. it appeared as though their group was turning against one another, those whom had formerly masqueraded as league members having torn away their facades in favor of striking out. cait struggled to make sense of what was going on, but soon fixed her gaze upon the corrupted beast that had been summoned.

"oh my go - "  

she managed to abruptly snap out of her state of shock, the girl having reached for the capsules secured around her waist. her maractus appeared as the sacred fire began to charge, the energy still at the cusp of spilling over. without having to be prompted, the small beast erected a spiky shield. its area of effect was small, but its defensive potential was considerable as the grass-type sought to shield both her mistress and herself from the mock legend's might.

cait trembled where she stood, but she forced her eyes to remain open as she stared at what was to come. she'd much rather die on her feet as opposed to cowering fearfully in her last moments if nothing else.

- cait finally makes it to the roof and is trying to make sense of what's going on. 'cause shit got crazy will quick.

- notices the big birb.

- brings out her maractus who uses spiky shield to defend both herself and cait.

He watches as Terra flies off, powered by the Agility boost—however, the thing is—the higher he flew, the closer he got to the… wait, that wasn’t…

Blinking a few times, he quickly pointed the PokéGear on his left hand at the…massive shadowy ‘creature’ descending. Sure, while it did resemble Ho-oh, for some reason its plumage wasn’t sparkling rainbow feathers, it looked more molten… more alien, strange. Weird. Out of this world.

Checking the screen for any data, he was surprised that nothing came up—until he realized what was going on. It didn’t take too much guesswork to figure out that this wasn’t the Ho-oh that he’d read about long ago back when he was still in Unova…

“Shit,” was all he could say, looking at its ghastly, melting form. Urging the Salamence to fly at a safe-enough distance, he watched in silent horror as the ‘Ho-oh’ landed… right on top of someone in the search party!

“What… the fuck?!” was all he could say next as the death he’d witnessed was violent—the body ripped apart to shreds, before the not Ho-oh let out an unearthly-sounding screech and released a blast of super-hot flames, down towards where the rest of the party had gathered, trying to recover from the sudden rush of attacks.

“Terra! Get back up here!” he shouted across the sky, watching as the Aerodactyl fly back up before hovering close to his side—appalled at the sight of the dead young man, unable to move. For some reason, the flames released by the not Ho-oh were just as powerful as the original…if not even more.

The only thing he could do was watch. Watch from the air.

He knew that if he flew down, the relative safety where he was would be all for nothing…


- watches the carnage in all its bloody fucking glory
- realizes that the Ho-oh descending isn’t the same as the one he saw in the paintings in the tower, has an existential freak-out in his head
- quickly summons his Aerodactyl back from where it had descended, is now back near where Salamence and Alexei are
- can only watch in silent horror at what's going on down where the Sacred Fire blast is headed
(also, due to Alexei being in the air at the time the cone of Sacred Fire is launched down at the rest of the party on the roof of the Tower, he doesn't need to roll for any action. Confirmation came straight from Shiv themselves)

as attacks shot to and fro, the councilman stayed behind, his legs refusing to go on any further, stopping him in his tracks.

what little he could do was overshadowed by those that did it better, the lavender haired man grateful for those who had aimed to help, or at least faked it well enough for them not to rouse suspicion.

but when the shadow overhead descended, his heart sank, the ho-oh taking a life in the blink of an eye. it landed and after, screeched, expelling a heat more intense than the ones below from its form.

quickly recalling the shuckle, the aromatisse returning to his side after its initial attack, kim would quickly shout out his commands.

“ruffles, psychic us a barrier for protection, vienne, aqua ring and rain dance.”

the commands were quickly followed, the aromatisse crating a barrier in the area round the man- anyone nearby being enveloped in its protection- as aqua ring circled the shield, harsh rain doing what it can to quell the flames.

he didn’t have the luxury of letting everything that took place weigh on his mind just yet, he didn’t want to end up like nikolai anytime soon.

ღ   watched that bird kill a dude
ღ  returned shuckle and made a barrier with psychic and aqua            ring and use rain dance to lower that fire shit

no matter what — at the end of it all — he is still mortal.

the brutality of his attempts, even within the normality of his companion's destructive force, is met by retaliation. their strength is not regarded individually, but by the mass of each attack and jay contests the psychic with his own, useless willpower. 

two garchomp, poised either side with a draco meteor direct of their view seems like the end. instead, the flash of light catches the smoke in a blinding flare. the matter explodes and is enough just to send fira reeling backwards. he feels his cheek stinging from the aftermath of rubble bursting, and touches his cheek. 

blood red is smeared across the tip of his finger. it is a reminder in his eyes, that it could've been worse. or maybe — it had been worse before this. either way, the pair are bought freedom in the descent of this massive shadow. the ugly and impure version of ho-oh.

through what seems surreal within their reality, jay notices in the departing smog, then regards aza, still managing to withhold his ground in-spite of the onslaught in his frightening attempts. the dragon makes contact with his companion, in a flicker of their eyes, as if strangely relieved, it notices the girl and her pokemon.

wasting no time, garchomp is immense in speed and charges forth. his long, tarnished claws are anything but careful of the pair, forcing them to come upwards and away from the all — certain end — of sacred fire. aza holds onto and her maractus, irritated by its spiky fold as he approaches the glaring fira. 

"are you alright?" jay calls, offering the girl but a brief concord to his sudden exposure in murderous intent. the humanity in his gaze is short—lived at the mumbling desperation for boris and his true wish. 

the fading solidity of the floor shudders beneath the weight of the abomination, it crushes the figure of unfamiliarity and jay doesn't flinch at its gruesome picture. besides ho-oh — it is the dead that has him frowning, knowing well that what has passed cannot be brought back just as they were. 

instinct is held back like the reins of a wild beast. beneath them is a hellish ordeal, much worse than the flame ridden tower beneath their feet. he needs a chance. anything to rid the world of what should simply not exist. even if the onlookers may think otherwise. 

 
» garchomp is slightly injured, though swoops over to save and her monz from the oncoming fire. 
» jay just watches above, waiting for a chance to strike.

Oh what the hell! Holy Resident Evil! What the heck kind of nasty deceased rotting kid corpse thing was this! Vibes the Meowth quickly retreated into the safety of its ball as Victor huddled by himself. He was going to need some intensive therapy after this. This was getting ridiculous! This wasn't worth making all the new friends he did!

No, scratch that. Meeting Priam had been worth it. He shouted outwards at the action. "HEY PRIAM YOU BETTER MAKE IT OUT OF THIS ALIVE!" They had a bubble tea date after this! Gods this was a great time to be hiding during a time like this. Although of course he wasn't exactly safe from the environment. He had to dodge these dangerous things like fires and other terrifying things. Victor shielded his eyes form the horror. This was so not watermelon!

Flames threaten to raze everyone on the rooftop, leaving everyone for themselves. Probably not though, given that there were others that were willing to risk their lives for the sake of everyone else. Priam did not count on relying on those people to protect him this round though.

"Psychic!"

The Espeon moves from his shoulders and perches on to the top of his head. His Druddigon stops on moving, partly in awe of the scale of the attack and partly to keep herself from distracting the Psychic-type. The move would be ready to deflect any flames that would come hurtling at them, pushing them in a direction away from them.

What they witness should bother her. Grotesque and an abomination at best. It is against everything else in this world and she can feel it in her bones. It is enough to make her grit her teeth but the woman will not be moved by what she sees. All that matters is what she does about it.

Her gardevoir tries for the Jirachi, hoping to teleport away with it. Her success relies on the precision Isra hones in her pokemon. She has no time for error but she will save herself over the jirachi if she must, teleporting back to her trainer.

Isra whistles and her dragon and banette return to her side as she releases her typhlosion, hoping that it innate fire resistance may prove enough should the flames reach them. There are too many people now and she will bide her time, the right move can be made with a little bit of patience.

>>Gardevoir tries for Jirachi but will teleport back to Isra if she must
>>Banette and Zweilous come closer to their trainer
>>Releases Typhlosion who stands in front of her team to act as a would be shield until further notice.

Lycanroc clashes with 's Scolipede, but his teeth and claws don't break the surface of his steely hide. The beast seems to lose interest in battling his peer, recognising him as a fellow Rocket Pokemon. [break][break]

Emma does not reprimand him for this, for disobeying orders, for looking out for himself. Dying for the sake of Boris Raskolnikov is not worth it.[break][break]

Ariados was also unsuccessful, the scary face interrupting her just as she was about to intercept and rescue the Jirachi. As a result, only her webs stick to the poor soul, and she is unable to gain any ground. However, panic has started to rise in the spider Pokemon as the tower begins to shake and...[break][break]

Emma and her Pokemon all look up in unison as an abomination graces the field. The beast in the sky resembles the paintings, but only slightly. It's disgusting, revolting to look at, and probably smells. Its terrible scream pierces the air as it takes down a fellow Rocket grunt. Emma briefly recognises the man as .[break][break]

Berwick is torn apart brutally and cast aside like a spent toy. It only takes a moment for the bird to recollect itself and begin to spew fire from its maw.[break][break]

Lycanroc and Ariados had already begun to flee backward toward their master, their only form of safety. [break][break]

Emma herself is shell-shocked by what she's just seen. She remains close to . There is nowhere else to escape to. She envies the people in the sky, free from the burden of being burned alive. [break][break]

"Come back to me!" [break][break]

She says this as she attempts to return both Lycanroc and Ariados. In their place, she makes a desperate attempt to use her own Scolipede, as Dominic had, to PROTECT herself and Nikolai from the flames that are likely coming right for them. [break][break]

The heavily-scaled beast stands before them after being summoned, putting up a protective barrier as the flames wash across the floorboards like a wave.[break][break]

Whatever fight she had had in her to eliminate Boris is gone. The man is no criminal to her, and this was a fool's errand. No amount of money is worth the burden of murdering an innocent, grieving man. Even one who summons an undead rendition of his former trainee.[break][break]

tldr:[break]
> attempts to return lycanroc and ariados before the flames eat them and her[break]
> summons scolipede to use protect to block the fake ho-oh's sacred fire[break]
> has decided that boris is innocent, if a little insane, and will not attempt to murder nor steal the jirachi from him[break][break]

Claydol recoiled at the pawniard's strike. In the moments that follow Lucas cried out as he takes a punch to the jaw. He stumbles from the punch, falling against the scorched floor. Jaw clutched in one hand the head scientist rushed to get back up. Only to fall back as the Ho-oh swiped its talons only a few feet away from him. He watched in horror for a moment as his attacker meets their demise to the false god.

Red light illuminated the edge of the platform as Lucas released Bastiodon. The fossil pokemon tensed as it laid eyes upon the result of man's greed. Despite its fear Bastiodon stood firm between the Ho-oh and its owner, a protect ready in the event things go awry. "Get ready Geb" Lucas cried as he'd rush towards Boris. The Rocket traitor turned from intimidating to pathetic at the sight of the corrupt Joey Kim. The time was right, Jirachi was ripe for the plucking. Unsure of 's allegiance the scientist raced the woman's gardevoir towards his prize. Much like Isra Lucas' claydol waited to teleport him away in the event of a deadly attack.

Lucas couldn't allow Jirachi to fall into Rocket hands. But more importantly, he couldn't let the Ho-oh continue its rampage. He dreads the thought of what it would do if it managed to leave the island. The intent of Lucas' desire for Jirachi was no longer a question.

The scientist leapt towards Boris in a foolish attempt to beat Gardevoir. "Jirachi I wish to bind Ho-oh" he cried as he'd reach out to touch the wish granter. He was so close.

  • Raced Isra's Gardevoir towards Boris
  • Leapt and tried to make a wish to Jirachi to bind Ho-oh
  • Claydol is ready to teleport Lucas if he's about to turn into Nikolai's identical twin
