II. NAVEL ROCK TOWER RAID

POSTED ON Mar 8, 2019 6:23:46 GMT

Emma Wolfe's voice calls out to him through the thunderous rain and the overpowering chaos that surrounds them, he hears it and almost turns, almost, but stops because he knows there's no coming back from this but then be feels her hand around his, gripping with a hold that speaks volumes and finally he turns, turns to look at her in his most vulnerable state.

once too blinded by his need to survive, he now sees the true extent of the situation that has long unfolded around him. people are in danger; innocent, guilty, it doesn't matter in the moment, he sees it now. he realizes it now. perhaps all it took was a single tough to pull him out of it.

but only for mere moments.

the floor breaks underneath them and he loses his footing, but thankfully kim cole-essam's PSYCHIC holds them in the air. his smile is painful, but he forces one regardless as he looks at emma, almost apologetically before slipping his hand out of hers. reaching for two pokeballs, he summons his nidoking and nidoqueen and watches them fall after the attacking ho-oh.

tears in his eyes, he says:

"goodbye."

clawing his gaze away from emma he looks to dominic sinclair and boris as they board the hydreigon. a sudden and hidden PSYCHIC knocks both dominic and boris back, not hard enough to send them off the hydreigon, but enough to allow for the second PSYCHIC to engulf the jirachi before attempting to force it out of boris' arms to send towards nikolai.

nidoking and nidoqueen, much like their trainer, has long accepted their fates, as the falling pair lock eyes momentarily, they realize that this is their last battle together. and they will give it their all.

nidoqueen's sudden EARTH POWER causes a spike to shoot straight out from the side of the tower, hoping to damage and slow ho-oh down even temporarily, long enough for her to reach it for a SUPERPOWER punch.

nidoking's FOCUS ENERGY allows him to dive straight down, horn-first, and attempt to drill his MEGAHORN right into the body of the ho-oh.

charizard falls along with them, lifelessly.

escavalier remains by nikolai's side, utilizing kim cole-essam's PSYCHIC to float.

Dallas was quick to scoop up the brave little Snivy in his arms before returning him to his Pokeball. It was the best he could do to keep the unconscious Pokemon safe as the tower gave way beneath them. But before he could reach for his Yungoos’ Pokeball, they were already in free fall. Boris and Jirachi carried away now on Hydreigon leaving Dallas’ Fletchinder empty-handed. She had done well to keep the rogue Rocket alive for this long but now needed to focus on her trainer not becoming a splat on the ground.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Yungoos clung for dear life onto Dallas until Hawks finally caught them. “Geez, reminding me of the desert ruins now,” as they former a pokemon/trainer Megazord[break][break]

There was the temptation to play it safe now, avoid the Ho-Oh and land safely. Dallas hadn’t come all this way for Rocket to steal it all away from the League at the very end though. “Dodge it Hawks. Cut what you can’t avoid with Steel Wing.” The Fletchinder’s wings soon reflected the command, each feather growing a metallic sheen. Destroying whatever debris came into its path. Meanwhile, Acrobatics helped to deftly dodge most debris (and hopefully the massive angry firebird) as they closed in on their target. dominic sinclair .[break][break]

Dallas, admittedly, had no clue who this guy was. But he was making off with Boris and reaching for the last wish tag. In fact, multiple people seemed to be eyeing it up. The blond didn’t have any grand ambitions or plans with the tag, but the last thing he wanted was some Rocket fucking them over even harder.[break][break]

“Yungoos…” The weasel poked its head up, barely able to hear Dallas as the wind whipped around them before following his gaze to the Hydreigon. Yungoos cried out in disagreement, but still prepared the attack it knew Dallas wanted.[break][break]

“I swear, I’ll catch you.” And then it launched. Straight onto the back of the dragon with an Ice Fang digging into it. Meanwhile, Dallas and Fletchinder performed a fly-by. The blond taking a swipe at the stranger on his way to also reach for the blue tag that continued to plummet. Fletchinder clutching onto the man, trying to guide his descent.

Returns Snivy.[break][break]
Yungoos clutches onto Dallas as they fall before Fletchinder catches them.[break][break]
Fletchinder uses Acrobatics to dodge the debris and Ho-oh. Also uses Steel Wing to destroy any debris that collides with them.[break][break]
Yer boi is being verbally abused for a memory slip by the people down under so ignore that whole attacking Dominic thing I'll edit it when I'm not busy.[break][break]

Victor knows all about surviving. He is like the one hp support surviving in a video game kind of survivor. However Victor was not a dragon blooded warrior who was here to defeat a world eating dragon. So when he was pulled onto a dragon he couldn't help but scream. "I didn't ask for an remake of How to Train your Dragon WAAAAAA!"

Arms clung around whatever he could find, which was priam conrad . Victor had such a thing for clinging it was like he was laundry coming out of a tumbling dryer. He prayed to all that this flying beast wouldn't fall, or at least if it did he'd make it out with only bruised knuckles and nothing on his face. Could someone call for Divine Intervention please? Was there a Black Shield of pain neglection that could be used? Where was a good old Astral Blessing when he needed one? Oh god if he made it out of this alive he'd buy Priam a pack of cookies and Kyle a Nintendo Switch Online Membership for 12 months so they could play games together.

Lucas failed. Not just himself, but Fernando too, god forbid. Instead of making the wish he collided with the floor. He'd try again to get to the underboss, but this attempt fell short as well as the tower began to crumble.

"No, come on!"

The ground beneath him shook and sprung zigzagging cracks. Immediately Lucas withdrew his two pokemon, their job done. In their place, he released an aerodactyl which he immediately mounted. Eyes dart around as he looked for anyone that needed immediate saving. If anyone did he didn't pay them any heed, because his attention immediately became glued upon the falling Jirachi tag. His keen eye noting it instead of his fallen Kabutops. Without thinking twice he took off into the air on aerodactyl's back.

"Faster, faster!"

The two flew through the air towards the tag. It was their only hope to end Ho-oh.

All she sees is the falling talons and her mind becomes hyper focused on it, the rest of the din drowns out at the realization that there is only one possible outcome when it hits the tower. Too much is happening, not enough time to react.

Subconsciously she starts hitting the buttons on her pokeballs, bringing everyone she can back to her as fast as possible. Her gardevoir, her banette her typhlosion her-

Feet fall from under her as the world begins to collapse beneath them, her zweilous screaming beside her a stark contrast to her silence until he begins to glow. A moment she's been waiting far too long for as he emerges bellow her anew, the Hydreigon she has been waiting for. His mind is cloudy, she can tell and the whistle guides him out and away from the insanity that has surfaced at the top of a falling tower.

The mental reassessment leaves her at a loss, her team is not meant for the air battle about the ensue and even now her choices are limited to the hydreigon using [crunch] on any oncoming debris to prevent it from hitting them head on as they seek safety from the chaos via distance.

She whistles for him to fly farther, eyes on the abomination in the sky, this isn't over and they must be ready for whatever it brings.

POSTED ON Mar 10, 2019 3:36:27 GMT

the PROTECT does its job. what happens afterwards mean little to the glalie. the price of autonomy comes with a heavy weakness—put in an unfamiliar situation, the pokemon has no idea what to do. the most it can do it continue to berate the ho-oh with ICE SHARDS. the fact that it has to PROTECT against the SACRED FIRE shows that the giant bird is enemy enough.

garchomp turns to cinders and fernando's left without a mount. he's in free fall long before the ho-oh follows up and his ditto is already en-route to snatch its trainer up. the fact that he's taken to the air long before anyone else leaves him clear from the ANCIENT POWER from below. the distance he's maintain comes in handy. the bird's eye view is just a bonus.

the ho-oh soars through the falling group and cuts through the air with its pointed beak. just his positioning alone grants him altitude from the event as he clings to the ditto below him. with a disgruntled, hmph, he mounts the pokemon, adjusting himself as he closes his hands around its neck in a vice grip.

"go."

the glalie plummets with the rest of them and there's little it can do. it musters what's left of its strength to enter SHEER COLD. ice starts to expel from the pokemon's many porous openings and encases itself in a protective block of expanding ice. the more it grows the easier it is for fernando to spot and even easier to aim. once his legs straddle the pokemon's back side, he draws glalie's pokeball and returns it.

with so many vying for what's left and none willing to handle the ho-oh itself, fernando opts for the smartest option: getting the fuck out. it flying upward and in the opposite direction of the ho-oh's SKY ATTACK, gaining distance from the chaos around them. its impossible to leave area entirely, at least in such a short amount of time, but the space granted should provide him with a reactionary window for him to act upon.

glalie uses ICE SHARD on ho-oh after SACRED FIRE subsides
fernando falls since the garchomp he's riding dies
d!garchomp snatches him up while everyone below him gets ANCIENT POWERED

READ CAREFULLY

[attr="class","ipad"]
SUMMARY:[break][break]
jayde cross's garchomp focuses its attention on cait alfric to save her. he and charizard dive toward the paper slip. cait alfric clings onto her maractus and jayde cross's garchomp. she begs for the dragon to fly. an ANCIENT POWER boulder strikes both jayde cross and cait alfric's mounts, causing their rides to careen off-course and toward the sea.[break][break][break]

Alexei Ivanov notices the small shape of the tag, but is drawn to the false ho-oh instead. recalling his aerodactyl, the flying gym leader flattens himself for optimal aerodynamics, and attempts to dart past the ANCIENT POWERS. mid-flight an ANCIENT POWER boulder T-bones the salamence, causing his dragon companion to wail in pain as the spiral out of control.[break][break][break]

priam conrad yanks victor evans into safety, helping him board his druddigon to escape. with his espeon recalled, he races toward kim cole-essam's field of PSYCHIC. however, during his race to safety, the rocket is unable to detect an incoming ANCIENT POWER boulder. but it is the divine intervention of victor evans's scream that causes the druddigon to stop in shock— just in time for a boulder to soar by their faces: a narrow miss from the reaper's scythe.[break][break][break]

Emma Wolfe is terrified, pleading with NIKOLAI PETROV to come with her to flee. enduring the tragedy of the charizard's passing, she monitors the IRON DEFENDING scolipede should they try to escape. for the time being, she is held up by kim cole-essam's aromatisse's PSYCHIC which narrowly stops a boulder from crushing her body.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

FERNANDO SILPH's glalie fires ICE SHARDS at the false ho-oh after the flames. it widdles away at the massive bird as the trainer falls, but his ditto, in the form of his garchomp, catches him. clinging onto the shark dragon, he orders his dragon to fly upward, past the false ho-oh. simultaneously, the glalie plummets as a hardened SHEER COLD ball of ice. a boulder collides with the glalie, but FERNANDO SILPH is able to recall the pokemon into its ball without much harm.[break][break][break]

NIKOLAI PETROV's nidoking and nidoqueen fight to the bitter end. an EARTH POWER spike juts out of the tower violently, slowing the false ho-oh's glowing form. a SUPERPOWER quickly follows up, but it misses by a devastating margin. nidoking's FOCUS ENERGY enables it to drill a MEGAHORN directly into the body of the ho-oh as the fallen charizard plummets helplessly. thankfully, his escavalier floats thanks to kim cole-essam's PSYCHIC.[break][break][break]

kim cole-essam returns lumineon while his aromatisse's PSYCHIC levitates him to safety. as expected from a council member's training, the aromatisse's PSYCHIC pulses out in a powerful field, hued a purplish-pink. kingdra, shuckle and lumineon are cast out again. shuckle STONE EDGES the false ho-oh. immediately after, kingdra FOCUS ENERGIES before sending loose an empowered HYDRO PUMP through the RAIN DANCE. thanks to NIKOLAI PETROV's pokemon and their assault, the HYDRO PUMP lands a direct hit...[break][break][break]

dominic sinclair pushes boris on top of his own hydreigon. after, his hydreigon ROARS at any incoming pokemon to dissuade them from approaching.[break][break][break]

Dallas Rhodes' yungoos grabs at dallas, fearful for what's to come, but a heroic dive from his fletchinder catches the two. like an action hero soaring through explosions and debris, the fletchinder's ACROBATICS allows the party to weave in and out of the boulders with incredible speed and ease. the tag is close, but...[break][break][break]

Isra Nightingale recalls everyone into their balls as the world falls apart. however, within the chaos, her zweilous emerges anew. as a hydreigon, the pokemon readjusts to its tumultuous surroundings, but the familiar tone of its trainer draws him out. with her new draconic mount, she soars through the air. the hydreigon, still orienting to its new ability of flight, runs the obstacle course of boulders. however, one comes hurdling toward them head on...[break][break][break]

dominic sinclair's hydreigon unleashes a ferocious ROAR that reverberates through the air like electricity. after a bout of recoil, Dallas Rhodes' fletchinder does not dally. its wing glows, and the fiery bird STEEL WINGS a boulder coursing directly for Isra Nightingale. like a samurai's dash and slash, the movement is swift and the aftermath: dramatic. the boulder crumbles into a mass spattering of dirt and pebble.[break][break][break]

Lucas Lane returns his pokemon as the tower's roof crumbles. mounting his aerodactyl, he rushes straight for the jirachi tag instead. with heroic intentions, he darts through the belt of ANCIENT POWER boulders— but in his rush, he does not spot another incoming mass corkscrewing toward them. Dallas Rhodes' fletchinder, luckily in the right arc of trajectory, also STEEL WINGS this boulder, smashing it into smithereens.[break][break][break]

[break][break]

THE HO-OH:[break][break]
badgered by the attacks from FERNANDO SILPH, NIKOLAI PETROV, and kim cole-essam, the ho-oh's SKY ATTACK dissipates and the glow is swallowed up by the creature's corrupted anatomy. swirls of energy twist like wriggling maggots under its conjured form. with a shrill shriek, the false ho-oh flaps its wings together, sending GUSTS toward the remaining raiders.[break][break][break]

seeing that its perch is long gone, the false ho-oh begins to fly away. northbound. toward the mountainous peaks.[break][break][break]

as the false ho-oh departs, NIKOLAI PETROV will start to feeling the intense burning begin to eat away at his limbs...[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

THE TAG & JIRACHI:[break][break]
although dominic's attempts to hold jirachi down are valiant, the distraction of the tag, boris and PSYCHICS from kim cole-essam and NIKOLAI PETROV, prove to be taxing. as boulders explode into clouds of dust and rubble behind him, dominic sinclair and his hydreigon launch themselves towards the tag... and catch it.[break][break][break]

however, due to the speed needed to catch the tag and the other distractions, jirachi is pulled away by the slightest degree by the NIKOLAI PETROV's gengar's PSYCHIC. the winds catch the jirachi's body, still encased partially by its purple cocoon. the mythical begins to plummet— but the lagging head scientist, Lucas Lane, manages to scoop the mythical before it falls out of anyone's grasp.[break][break][break]

boris spots the rotting body of @joey fall alongside some of the detritus. he closes his eyes and whispers "thanks," to dominic sinclair. with a shiver, he asks, a resigned tone weighting his defeated words: "so will i be delivered back then? to the boss?"[break][break][break]

[break][break]

MAJOR POINT SUMMARY:[break][break]

the false ho-oh is successfully driven away and it flies north.
dominic sinclair secures boris and the wish tag.
Lucas Lane catches the drowsy jirachi that is still encased in its cocoon.

[break][break]

NOTES:
[break]
with this, the event will roll to a close. there may be one more mod post; however, any actions from this point onward do not need rolls. roleplay the aftermath, find safety... the island is now a dangerous pile of rubble with a lonesome dock attached to it.

exit, stage aerial. Warning for some badassery! (at least according to the writer!)

He didn’t know what was happening at this point.

Having all but hugged the Salamence’s body as Gabriel began the aerial dance of dodging through the storm of Ancient Powered rocks that were being thrown every which way, he closed his eyes and hung on for dear life—trusting the Salamence to fly the right way—and for a while, they were in the clear.

The draconid was doing his best to dodge and cartwheel through the air, but for some strange, inexplicable reason—the tag, he only remembered the tag just now!—he then opened his eyes to hear a shriek of horror as Gabriel had been pummeled in the belly with one of the falling rocks.

And now the Salamence was breathing painfully, trying to keep himself airborne, but it was too much—and for some strange reason—he felt himself suddenly separate from the safety of the Salamence.

Basically, he was now free-falling through mid-air.

“FUCK!” he yelped for a few moments, panic suddenly overtaking for all of a few seconds, before realizing—why did he recall the Aerodactyl? Maybe it was for the best. He could see his Salamence, now obviously unconscious, falling alongside him—but he was falling much faster.

And he knew he only had a few moments to react.

He didn’t want to look down, not to look towards the ocean, so his hand quickly shot into the pockets of his jacket, fumbling at the zipper on the right-hand pocket before pulling out the Salamence’s Moon Ball and quickly recalling Gabriel, flash of red light catching the draconid—and he was still hurtling down toward certain doom.

…and now was the time his mind suddenly decided, ‘why not try to ride a Pokémon in mid-air?’

It was insane, he knew.

But it was like, his only chance of survival at this point.

Thank the hell he segregated how he sorted his Pokéballs—three on the left pocket, three on the right. That same hand fumbled with the same zipper as earlier, and he had a one in three shot of getting it right…

A small glimmer of green knew he’d gotten it, and without a second thought, pops the Friend Ball to full size and screams at his Braviary, Kyouya, to catch him before they hit the ocean. Or the rubble.

Whichever came sailing up first at them!

The avian let out a terrified shriek upon emerging, seeing his long-time companion free-falling through the skies—and while he didn’t know Agility, a burst of Tailwind is fast enough to propel him forward, the speed he needed—

Wings spread out in urgency, the red and white avian shot forward, angling himself—

And a few moments later, Alexei felt himself hit something soft. Even if his ears missed the shriek that Kyouya let out because of the sudden weight plummeting onto his back, the Braviary then sailed up, and away from the rest of everything—aided by the Tailwind.

He’d seen where the ‘false bird’ had gone—north. But was it north within the same region, or out of Hoenn entirely?

Who knows?

For the moment, though, the Braviary beats his wings, sailing higher and higher, indignant noises coming out of his beak as he tries to ‘communicate’ with his master, his owner, the savior, his ‘father’—

But Alexei’s passed out.

Passed out due to the shock of almost fucking dying and freefalling through the air because of the stupid insanity he’d let himself get to.

Knowing that the avian carrying him was smart enough, the Braviary boosted itself further, another Tailwind letting him go faster and further away from the ‘island’, now a ruin—

Back home to Fortree.

And back into the hands of one very angry doctor awaiting his arrival at their shared apartment.

- Salamence gets whacc’d by an Ancient Power boulder, passes out due to force of the impact
- “I’m going to fucking die! What the hell!”
- has a few moments of existential panic before remembering: he’s the fucking Flying-type Gym Leader, the sky is his home
- recalls the Salamence and spends a few moments in free-fall, trying not to panic too much
- a one-in-three lucky shot summons the Braviary out of hiding
- Braviary promptly lets out a “what the fuck?!” indignant screech before using Tailwind to propel himself to fly faster
- he faintly remembers seeing the false bird flying north
- the avian angles himself in order to catch his owner
- Alexei then fucking passes out from the shock as the Braviary catches him a few seconds later
- Braviary propels himself faster and farther away from the wrecked island with another burst of Tailwind
- bye bishes, exit stage: aerial on Air Braviary, home to Fortree he goes!

She's floating.[break][break]

It's possible she closed her eyes, expecting to be buried alive by rubble and tower bits and flame. But she's alive, thanks to Kim Cole's field of psychic. It appears that several other people were rescued by the same circumstance, hovering just above the destruction.[break][break]

But she remembers vividly Nikolai's last word. Her hand is cold where his fingers once laced through hers. He's gone.[break][break]

Tears fall from her eyes, but they're silent. She says nothing as he runs headfirst into his death. His Nidoking and Nidoqueen go down fighting, driving away the fake Ho-oh. Emma's Scolipede is safe thanks to the psychic field, and she returns the beast to her ball.[break][break]

She is almost struck by a falling boulder, the wind from it causing immediate fear. But she's still alive.[break][break]

For the most part, Emma has completely lost interest in the battle for the Jirachi's remaining wish tag. She has no use for such frivolous things. She's heartbroken and defeated, and is waiting to leave the island and drink her woes away likely.[break][break]

Should they land, Emma will take the nearest exit there is, promptly leaving this shithole island of death.[break][break]

tldr:[break]
> survives, somehow[break]
> returns scolipede[break]
> is mourning the loss of nikolai[break]
> as soon as kim cole and the rest of the psychic-rescued people are securely on the ground, she leaves[break][break]

The crumbling dirt and rock splash back in her face as the bird catches it soaring towards them, she brings up an arm to shield her eyes and the dragon roars his displeasure at it, his new heads reaching out to crunch the bigger pieces as they fly into bits and render them useless. She pays it no more mind than that and turns to watch the false legend make its exit and calls for her dragon to change direction. "Up." they scale the skies and she watches the ho-oh fly north, worrying that it can not be left to its own devices for long. They have no way of being sure if it will disappear or continue to exist.

She whistles for her dragon to follow at a long distance, just enough to try and figure out where it goes. It doesn't last long before she must turn back and head for the main land. Neither her nor her dragon are equipped for this.

Her eyes stay on the northern horizon.

>>she and hydreigon weather the boulders
>>flies up and watches the ho-oh/follows a short ways to be certain where it's headed

TAG WITH @dominic

dominic sinclair

II. NAVEL ROCK TOWER RAID

POSTED ON Mar 26, 2019 15:45:20 GMT

he feels paper, crushed slightly in outstretched fingers, and pockets it without a second thought. every success, every small victory, is a flash of satisfaction that runs a shiver down his spine but is always almost immediately replaced with a sense of hollowness.

so fixated on the tag, dominic doesn't immediately notice the jirachi slip from their grasp. he snarls a muffled fuck, wheeling the hydreigon back to watch where the small mythological pokemon ends up. at a distance, he can't tell who specifically got their hands on it, but at least it didn't fall to its death into the ocean.

satisfied, dominic pulls the dragon back and they sail away, though dominic's eyes search for an outcropping large enough to land at least two large pokemon on.

he doesn't reply boris immediately, brow furrowing for a heartbeat.

"no," he says shortly. catching sight of an appropriately-sized rock jutting out of the sea, dominic directs the hydreigon to land before continuing to speak.

"silas wants you dead, i'm going to do you one more favour and give you the chance to surrender to the league. willing or not, you're leaving in their custody."

the dragon lands with an unnatural grace, feather-light, for a creature of its size and weight. wordlessly, dominic dismounts and pulls boris along with him, his eyes fixed on the sky as he waits for the councilman.

≫ catches the tag, yayyyyy!!
≫ flies a fair distance away and lands the hydreigon
≫ tells boris he's being surrendered to the league
≫ waits for FERNANDO SILPH
