The words are not her own, could never be her own. Decked in royal composure, Skyler barely recognizes the woman that calls forth Primal Kyogre – except for the vicious violence that rattles through her throat when she calls for war, surging from the deep like their patron in perfect vengeful glory.

She’s like Skyler, and… not. A surface of stony determination frosts over the queen’s mirror-like countenance – its unfeeling sharpness looking alien on a visage identical to her own. But when a silver gaze meets her own, whetted sharp by fathomless temper and tragedy, she finds in there the familiar turbulence of a distant ocean storm.

The King is dead. Long live the Queen.

Too bad Skyler had never been a fan of either.

’s blood still drips from the palm of her hand when they draw closer to the water’s surface, bathing downy feathers in crystal clear brine. “I won’t be a moment, Angel.” Words are hushed under blooming bloodshed, but remain oddly cheery. “I’ve got royalty to meet.”

And if past experiences are any indication, civility wouldn’t be part of it for long.

Gravity reasserts itself when Starmie is called back to its pokeball. Skyler slips away from her seat on Latias back, parting words leaving her lips before she hits the shallows at a run. “And try not to get stabbed, you idiot. Again.”

A flick of her wrist releases a Dhelmise into the waters, its ghostly form dipping below the surface at her command while the captain rises to meet her queenly counterpart. She’s too late to redirect the tendril of water headed for , but not too late to distract.

Seamother is a terrible title.” The slight curl of her mouth makes mockery of the word, insolence-tipped smile rising defiantly in spite of the power that far exceeds her own. “A bit dramatic too, don’t you think?” Her gaze flickers briefly to the bauble embedded in the queen’s staff, greed drawing her in like a Wooloo to slaughter.

Briefly, her fingers find the Blue Orb resting on her chest.



Beneath the waves, Dhelmise extends its seaweed tendrils. They rise from the depths like spilled ink, unfurling into great lengths to sneak around the Sea Queen’s Primal Kyogre before tightening like a vice. A ghostly cry spreads throughout the ocean, CURSE OF THE DROWNED sinking into the Primal Kyogre’s body.

z-move curse of the drowned: tendrils of ghostly kelp strike nearby opponents' souls, temporarily turning them weak to water-type moves and disabling healing.



“I’d expected someone far more impressive.” Sea Queen Skyler is unperturbed in the face of Skyler’s taunts despite the rage in ocean-tossed eyes. It’s unsettling and unnerving, and only serves as fuel to the recklessness that creeps up Captain Skyler's body, adrenaline-driven.

Muscle tense. A hand curls into a fist. Silver flashes, fierce with the weight of arrogance and hubris.

“So. You’re all work and no play, huh? Can’t say I’m impressed either.”

And with a snarl, she launches herself at the Sea Queen.



Above them, raging Titans test their mettle against each other. Kyogre releases a primordial roar that shakes the air around it. Seizing the ghostly seaweed wrapped around its fiercer counterpart, another ORIGIN PULSE screeches through the air.



FREE ME.

Skyler falters at the ocean-tinted scream that echoes in her head, just in time for a tendril of water to make its way around her throat, crushing it in a vice-like grip.

“Nnhg!...”

Her fingers briefly brush over the wooden staff in the Queen’s grip – before the water slams her down onto the wet ground, agonizing pain exploding in the back of her head. Her vision fades, the sound of conflict a backdrop to words whispered close to her ear.

“A queen doesn’t play for the enjoyment. She plays to win.”

Together, they manage to avoid being struck down by Kyogre's rage. They twist and pivot in the air while aiming to land. In Stormy's peripheral, she sees Fernando fall from the sky. Fortunately, the man lands without much issue other than a lung full of sand to compensate.

Stormy lands not too far away, gathering nearby both and . But while the three of them engage with their watery counterparts, Stormy's attention is tugged away with a snide, overzealous comment from her own.

"I can weather both lava and sea— and I'll send you to your grave in either one. Make your choice, copycat."

Her Charizard bristles, a low growl rumbling in her throat as she looks to the sky. Above them, the burning wings of a Moltres fly overhead, the fiery counterpart to the Zapdos Sea!Kim has summoned. For just a moment, Stormy feels a rush of familiarity and surprise, but the bird above her is not hers. It doesn't have the same soulful eyes that had looked to her when it had saved her life at the Soiree.

"You're really dramatic. What's your choice, huh? Is this really what you want?"

There is an expression of molten rage behind the copycats eyes. Something familiar, something scary, something that the real Stormy just can't shake.

"Fine. Looks like you've chosen to do nothing-- typical."

Stormy braces herself by diving to the side, behind Charizard. Whatever remnants of the dragons PROTECT now shatter with the powerful AIR SLASHES that tear up the ground. Torrents of sand shoot up from the ground with every impact; the noise is deafening, pierced only by Moltres' scream.

Even in spite of the danger she's in, Stormy can't help but scan the bird for signs. She looks for the flash of pink, for the rage, for the determination. It couldn't be her Moltres because this wasn't her world. It couldn't be.

She couldn't pull her punches.

"Tell me, Stormy--" God, that was weird. Is that what people felt when they said her name, too? "How hard have you fought? How close to the end have you come? They say that when we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change. Are you ready?"

She draws in a breath, returning Charizard and standing alone for a moment. Fear traces her steps, leaves her legs tense as she steps to the side to circle her counterpart. Naturally, the other Stormy rises to the challenge, and above, Moltres circles, too.

"What are you talking about? Just shut up and fight, copycat!"

Stormy sniffs. Even here, it seems the similarities between them were stifling. She turns to face the Moltres and it screams again. It borrows from the Zapdos' RAIN DANCE to summon a HURRICANE. Stormy faces that storm head on and without fear. She's hit her lowest point already, this was nothing-- but it was reminiscent. Fitting, given the step she was about to take.

It had been raining then, too, if she remembers right. Everything bad happens on a rainy day. When the world had gone dark and a monster had spawned, hell-bent on devouring everything in its path. It had taken her Castform and countless other innocent lives. It had nearly taken Moltres' too.

So it was time to introduce this Moltres to a piece of Necrozma.

The bellowing, ear-piercing roar that leans over her shoulder is on par with a God's. Driven by rage and by pain with the crystaline growths extending from her face, the Tyrantrum locks eyes with the legendary bird. Without hesitating, the dinosaur charges into the storm to fight. She is fearless because she has already escaped certain death. She has climbed from the brink of it and come out a monster.

Another bellow of her prehistoric vocal chords conjures a SANDSTORM from below her feet. The DARK SANDS whip up violently, shrouding her in darkness. No amount of Moltres' AIR SLASHES or plumes of flame can stop this train. Tyrantrum steamrolls, pulling rocks both from her own body and from the sand beneath her to pelt the Moltres out of the sky with ANXIENT POWER.

Stormy watches with bated breath as the deity fights back, using its AGILITY to evade. Again and again it swoops out of harms way, but Tyrantrum is tireless and unstoppable. She is the black hole that Necrozma had been. She is the remnant from the ashes, the monster come back to life.

One of the rocks clips Moltres and the bird slips. It's all Tyrantrum needs to spring. With a powerful push off of her hind legs, the shadow Pokemon HEAD SMASHES to connect with Moltres.

"No! How is this possible?! What is that Pokemon?"

Stormy says nothing, her expression grim as the two Pokemon crash to the ground amidst the sandstorm and the rain.

War waits for no man.

But he'll steal stars and time to lean into his with a confident curl of his lips.

Well then. Don't let me keep you.” His bloodied, slightly shaking hand squeezes hers before they splinter apart. “Go shove that staff of hers where the sun don’t fuckin’ shine, sunshine.

Latias is the one to pull Angelo away, alerting him through their psychic link with a jolt of shock and apprehension.

Slipping off her back, stained fingers unconsciously grip pearly down.

For stepping out of the water is not just a mirror image. It’s also the missing half of a whole.

Blue, not red. Alive. Latios.

"This one's sister perished a long time ago... I'll take care of yours to make it fair."


Angelo's lip curls in a sneer. This greedy asshole.

That's real generous of you but, see…” His thumb is jabbed over his shoulder, directed towards where splashes around after her counterpart. “I've actually just been banned from taking multiple stabbings in a day. Don't want to piss off the wife more in one sitting. Y'know how it is…” Probably not.

A shrug is thrown, mockingly exasperated, as his counterpart raises a brow.

So, I'm not going anywhere. And Latias ain't, either.

That so? Wanna make things interesting and bet on it?


A bark of laughter rips from Angelo's throat, flash of teeth anything but kind. “Don't need to.

His mirror image steps forward as Latios’s arms tuck into his body, preparing for flight…

Latias, he thinks. We'll be fine. Just get away for now.

With a chirp of affirmation, Latias suddenly launches herself higher into the skies. Her dash of red shadowed by a blue blur as Latios makes to chase her down.



Through the open air the Eon duo commence in a test of speed and finesse, weaving around stray ORIGIN PULSES and other attacks that pierce into the heavens.

But no matter how fast she soars, how many sharp banks and agile manoeuvres she takes, Latios is her equal in stealth. And her superior in strength.

She can’t outrun him forever.




The same could be said for her trusted human companion.

Oceanic Angelo lunges after him, blades of water putting the pilot on the backfoot as he stumbles and narrowly dodges. Fatigue slowing him down.

Magically sutured wounds did not account for the loss of blood, it seemed.

Alert, blue eyes flicker towards a flash of ruby in the clouds before his hand reaches down to his belt, Dragapult long recalled, to toss a pokeball in his alternative's direction.

Sea!Angelo tenses, ready to slash it out of the air. Only for the sphere to awkwardly sail right over his head in a blundered pitch that goes too long.

Nice aim, dickhead.


Oh, fuck off.




In the sky, a LUSTER PURGE brushes dangerously close to Latias, forcing her to take a sudden dive, her descent leading her towards a familiar ally locked in its own battle.

Latios follows stubbornly in her wake as she races towards the clash that erupts between 's Reshiram and Volcanion.

Closer. Closer still. Until she can feel the heat on her feathers.

With but a hairbreadth to spare, she pulls up into a sharp incline, disappearing in breakneck speed as TAILWIND envelops her. Leaving her ‘twin’ to swerve off kilter, close to Volcanion.

Latios attempts to dodge and continue the chase, only for his advance to come to a violent halt.

Black, ghostly tendrils lash from the earth to wrap around his wings and neck tight, too fast for the dragon to avoid.

Angelo's misplaced aim not quite so accidental, after all.

Aided by TAILWIND gales, Decidueye’s SPIRIT SHACKLE snatches out to bind the Eon pokemon and Volcanion both. Latios falling into the sand with a furious shriek…




Forced backwards, the pilot staggers as a slash of water catches his brow and then his shoulder, red beading. Another step sees his spine colliding into a familiar - and thankfully friendly - face.

.

Blue eyes widen as he bumps into the ranger awkwardly, catching himself on his friend lest his shaken legs give up on him. Up above, the executioner blade rises.

Razz! Ah, shit – Right on time!” Out of breath, his hands scramble, relieving the young man of his possessions without approval.

The stick is a blur as it smacks with a solid CRACK against his counterpart, only for water to quiver in the Hoennian sun upon impact.

Angelo doesn’t have time to exhale before his borrowed STUN BATON lights up, electric flying like a house owned by an overenthusiastic decorator during the Christmas season.

She lives.
[break][break]
Catherine’s life is miraculously saved by none other than her own patron deity, the Altered Giratina. Although THE RENEGADE’S DECREE comes to fruition, it’s no surprise that Giratina’s counterpart survives the aftermath. They were - in some form - equal.
[break][break]
“Hrm, i’m afraid not.” The sound of her, or rather, their voice almost disgusts her. Knowing that it belongs to anyone other than herself causes her stomach to churn, but such mundane feelings are dismissed and forgotten about as Giratina’s voice echoes within her mind.
[break][break]
Then she wasn’t imagining it. Catherine did have a shard of the orb. A griseous shard, as she called it.
[break][break]
”But I’ll do you one better, hand over yours and I promise I’ll be quick when I kill you.” She won’t spare her the pain, however. She was not that kind, nor was she even slightly peaceful.
[break][break]
She leaps off of Giratina’s back as it clashes with its counterpart, allowing the deity to tend to its replica without reason for concern. If there was ever a time to prove that he’d chosen the right one— the one true Katherine, then it was now. This was their domain, and no one else’s.
[break][break]
A snap of her fingers directs Nihilego back, summoning it back. It hasn’t travelled too far away from them, although it was most likely still carrying a cargo on top of its head. “You know, before I saw you, I thought that fate was bullshit. That we make our own destiny.”
[break][break]
And to a degree, she still does.
[break][break]
“...But I recognize that some things are written in the stars. A part of some grand plan. I was destined to find Giratina, just as it was your fate to meet the fake one.” Whether if it was the will of Arceus or the stars was left to be determined, but one thing was certain: there was a reason for it all. Perhaps even this very encounter.
[break][break]
“This… This is where it ends. I don’t need the fucking stars. I don’t need Arceus’ grand plan.” A breath is drawn, and then she continues.
[break][break]
”..And most of all? I don’t need you.”

[break][break]

"You talk a lot of game for someone who'd blown her ace already. Fine, have it your way. If you won't hand over your shards— I will gladly pry them off of your dead body."
[break][break]
Catherine appears both confident and vain. If it wasn't for the subtle gills on her neck, it'd be hard to tell the difference between her and the real one. Even at the face of danger, the potential risks that an unknown opponent such as Nihilego might hold, she laughs. She cackles madly. [break][break]"Did you really think that this will be enough? Just some jellyfish from your world? You're even more desperate than I thought."


[break][break]
Nihilego arrives just on cue, as Katherine relinquishes her control over gravity for a fleeting moment— allowing the beast to capture her, a shimmering myriad of lights spreading from their union. The Ultra Burst takes place as Melody and Cobalion are granted a moment of reprieve to settle in the strange, distorted realm.
[break][break]
Yeah, she's brought her allies into the mix. If Sootopolis taught her anything, then it's that there's strength in numbers.
[break][break]
A venomous SLUDGE WAVE surges forth, spreading toxin across Catherine's side of the field indiscriminately. She may phase and turn into anti-matter, but she will resurface. After all, she must breathe.
CopPkTVJ

[break][break]
notes:[break]
- lots of dialogue, mostly between kat & cat. giratinas fight in the background undisturbed.[break]
- kat's BATTLE BOND with nihilego alerts the beast that she needs it to return. it carries melody & cobalion along the way.[break]
- it arrives, and cat laughs at it. that is, until the ultra burst takes place and kat & the ultra beast fuse.[break]
- melody and cobalion are here too now, proving that major difference between these kat & cat is their ability to fight alongside others / trust allies.[break]
- the battle begins now![break]
- 1 salac used aha.

[bgm: with Mila’s Divine Protection]

Having slid the vape back into the inner pocket of his ‘suit’, the pelting ice across their location would made it difficult for others to see what exactly was going on inside the ‘space’; what with two instances of Hail having gone off earlier.

It was actually the perfect cover for them. But there was something else that Lars himself had noticed—since his doppelganger was made of water, wasn’t it going to work against the other?

That was his hypothesis anyway.

Cazzo, this is fucked up,” he grumbled as he grabbed one of the falling chunks of ice and flash-froze it, changing its bulky shape into something that resembled the survival knife he currently carried with him.

Across the way, his other!self had conjured up a swarm of frozen icicle shards, before sending those hurtling across the space.

Above in the sky, both iceborne mirages circled each other, one of the two screaming bloody fucking murder, while the original version merely stared the other down.

‘Getting really loud and annoying up here, you know!’

‘I can hear!’

‘Make it quick, will you?’

‘I’m trying!’

As the shards started pelting across the space and began striking him, the best that Lars could do at the moment was to parry as many of the frozen shards as he could. Which was rather difficult because the shards just kept on coming, without stopping!

“Not a chatty one, are you,” he growled as he bit the bullet and closed the distance. Clearly the other was more experienced with wielding the ice-based magic—this put him at a slight disadvantage.

Why?

Because most of the times he would conjure up said magic were only in dire situations, and not on an everyday whim!

‘Not much of a talker, unlike you.’

‘I heard that!’

‘Well, more experienced than you are with magic, that’s for sure!’

‘Whose side are you on?!’

Lars had to roll his eyes for a few moments while riding through the relentless wave of shards raining down and around him. Some of said shards were sharp enough, he could hear the wind whistling as they flew dangerously close to his face—and his hair.

With his own flash-frozen shard of ice, he continued to parry as many pieces as he could away from his face—thank the hell he was immune to the cold…

The other!deity was still screaming bloody murder and had decided to drop a Blizzard around the area, and for a few moments the conditions within the space had gone from ‘rather fine’ to ‘almost fucking zero visibility’ because of the incoming attack!

Maybe it was a boon that Lars was immune to the cold, after all…

“What was that supposed to be?” he retorted as he continued to parry the frozen projectiles, before looking up at his own deity.

‘Now!’

‘What?’

‘I need you to drop that!’

‘What, that?!’

‘Yes, that!’

Suddenly backing away, Lars then attempted to maneuver through the ‘snow storm’ before the Articuno flying above him began to glow rather—ominously—with a frigid blue aura before the temperatures around the localized area continued to drop.

Just as he’d maneuvered out of the way (and more projectiles came blasting in his direction) he had unleashed the Z-Move, aptly (and ironically) called ‘The End of the World’.

“You’re made of water… guess what happens to water when it gets frozen.”

The beginnings of a shit-eating grin formed on Lars’s face as the Articuno came forward, dropping the powerful attack meant to be used only in last-minute or extremely dire situations—

Like now!

Of course, little did he realize, though, that the more he kept moving around the more the ice he’d flash-frozen over where he’d gotten stabbed was getting dislodged, the clear blue slowly turning a muddy red…



• og!Articuno ain’t pleased with the racket the other!Articuno is causing
• meanwhile down below, Lars is trying to approach his other!self but it is fucking difficult because of all the projectiles being thrown his way
• he realizes that his other!self is like, way more talented at using the ice magic…
‘This is seriously fucked up!’
• other!Articuno dropped a Blizzard around the area, but obvs Lars takes advantage of this and tries to inch his way forward, still parrying projectiles aside in the process
• he just needs to get close enough to be able to do what he’s planning
• just as he’d closed the distance, the og two come to an agreement and Lars suddenly backs away—
• only for the og!Articuno drops the Z-Move: The End of the World around the area where the other!selves are
• and being the hotheaded nutcase that he is, Lars doesn’t realize that his temporary solution to the ‘getting shanked’ problem is melting…
• Amidst all this, the Z-Move aims to strike the pillar with the symbol for ‘Ice’ on it

AN AQUA ASSEMBLY PT. 2


SOLUTIONS TO SYGNA IN THE SILVER SPIRE





FRANTIC WAVES CRASH AGAINST each other as the tapu fini finds themselves at a standstill. neither is able to rise against the other. their power remains matched, a showcase of similarities.

it is their personality and history that hedge their differences. stone and silph, polar opposites, are defined by their namesake and upbringing.

for fernando, being a silph is his greatest strength and unrealized hubris. lie, cheat, steal. look for any and all opportunities. exploit them for all their worth. after all, honor means nothing if costs you victory.




the raging SURF continues to feud. tidal waves climb into an eclipsing spiral as the attack culminates into a pillar of sea water.

anderson, assist,” he screams. in a power struggle between water users, articuno’s ice powers would be instrumental to keeping them in check.

periodically, SEA QUEEN SKYLER will use PRIMAL ORIGIN PULSE that may interfere with your individual fights.

fernando looks to turn the tides with a cheap shot from his ally, hoenn’s first HEAD RANGER, but their queen beats him to the punch. a stray shot from SEA SKYLER’s kyogre upsets their power struggle, sending him flying several feet away. this distraction is more than enough to weaken tapu fini’s control. one lapse is all it takes for the entire SURF to come down on them.

fernando is swept away, buried underneath a near tsunami.



FWOOOOSH!

from the flooded sand bank comes a lightning bolt of NATURE’S MADNESS. it’s aimed not at SEA FERNANDO or his tapu fini but instead at SEA LAR’s articuno.


the remnants of a PROTECT remains around the tapu fini’s shell. on top is a wet and heaving fernando, obviously exhausted and still reeling from the aftershock of the attack. he does a quick scan of the area before tossing one of his pokeballs as far as he can.

ultra war, meteor falls formation!


it’s a call to action that references the one experience he expects them to have over their counterparts. perhaps they had their own version of the THREE DAY WAR but the lack of land makes him doubtful. if anything, it’s a hail mary, a guestimation hinging on hope.




his pokeball lands near . inside is fernando’s aegislash. his choice in pokemon is both deliberate and coincidental, the best of both worlds.

admittedly, illeana’s affinity for ghost pokemon is something fernando has yet to realize. on that front, it’s nothing more than a lucky coincidence.

on the other hand, seeing the hulking figure of her golurk means their synergy is all but assured. after all, the aegislash is one of his gym pokemon. skilled trainers such as , , , and will attest to the prowess and autonomy of his SWORD AND SHIELD challenge.

whether or not the golurk belongs to fernando is irrelevant. the aegislash recognizes its partner. a clothed tether binds the sword to the pokemon’s arm, set to serve its new vessel. now, the pokemon offers its KING’S SHIELD to a new master: .








tch.

SEA FERNANDO does not remain still and complacent. as fernando looks to leverage his disadvantage in their one-on-one by supplementing the others, so too does SEA FERNANDO look to capitalize.

fini! e4, b7, h1!

as if to mirror the original, tapu fini fires several bursts of NATURE’S MADNESS. one at its opponent, fernando’s tapu fini, another at ’s swampert, and the last at ’s shadow tyrantrum (unconcerned with friendly fire).




note(s):
- kim's moans annoy him.
- tapu fini and SEA TAPU FINI are at a standstill w/ SURF.
- fernando calls to assist him.
- PRIMAL ORIGIN PULSE hits fern + tapu fini.
- SURF comes down on fern + tapu fini.
- tapu finish embraced the SURF with PROTECT.
- under the water, tapu fini fires a NATURE'S MADNESS at SEA ARTICUNO
- fern calls for the METEOR FALLS veterans to use their old formation.
- throws aegislash's pokeball toward .
- aegislash lets itself be wielded by illeana's golurk.
- SEA TAPU FINI uses NATURE'S MADNESS on 's swarmpert + 's shadow tyrantrum.

Melody landed on the nihilego, cobalion also landing on it after the salamance wasn't able to really save him. [break][break]

She looked down at the Sea!Melody and her Manaphy, she had a flashback to the excursion with and co where they all had an interactions with Manaphy the heart swapper. She even said a really cringe phrase to real Melody and she visibly cringed. Is this how some people felt during her concerts? It might be time to change her brand. She looked around for Katherine, confused as to where she went as they were buddied up for this mission. [break][break]

She looked towards the sky, a strange bubble of reality and a disorienting place seemed to manifest as she just barely manages to make out katherine. " ! Please throw lapras at the other Giratina! We're making one hell of an entrance!" she pleaded as Lapras didn't really have a way to reach it without his help. Nihilego seemed to already be heading back to her master as she nods to Cobalion and he understood her from just a glance. She made a promise and she fully intended to keep it, luckily she didn't really need to ask Nihilego anything as it took her back over to katherine on it's own. [break][break]

However Melody wasn't even on nihilego by the time it got to the bubble, cobalion leapt into it with Melody on his back as they used the lack of gravity to sending them soaring above. Thanks to the Distortion world's terrain, there was a platform that would allow the duo to bounce off of it and right towards the fighting deities. "Cobalion!" she ordered as Cobalion leapt off the surface and unleashed a smart strike on the false Giratina trying to navigate the disorienting world he landed back where katherine was. A lapras's wail could be heard as either john douglas tossed lapras into the distortion world bubble or it launched itself towards the fight via a hydro pump aimed at the water to slam into the strange Giratina melody wasn't familiar with. [break][break]

"Hah! Sneak attack!" she cheered before a familiar sight seemed to follow and made Melody visibly cringe again, she hated seeing herself. Sea!Melody now joined the fight. [break][break]

A jet of water shot towards the distortion world bubble like an aqua jet as the false melody and her manaphy made their entrance. "HEY! I was talking to you! Now I have to work Miss Sarcasm herself?!" she shouted at her counterpart as the false Melody did NOT get along with Catherine. [break][break]

"you could just leave you know!" she said trying to turn the fight back to her advantage as two on one was much better than a two on two. However sea!melody shook her head no "I'm gonna make you guys see reason! I swear!" God why were these two melody's so similar? This was really bugging her, weren't they like fun house versions of them? what was different with this Melody? Whatever, time would reveal more she guessed. [break][break]

The Manaphy began to try and use heart swap but Melody was ready for it, as Cobalion didn't have time to use a move yet but he could very well try and interupt it "Katherine! We cant let it use that move! If we do it'll send everything into chaos! It can make us all switch bodies!" she warned her duo partner.

Uses nihilego to reach the distortion world marble. [break][break]

Uses the anti gravity aspect and crazy terrain to her advantage by using Cobalion's terrain navigation and launching a smart strike on Catherine's giratina. [break][break]

On top of that Lapras flies into the marble too via either Hydro pump launching it or using his orbeetle's psychic powers to sending it flying into catherine's giratina. [break][break]

Sea!melody joins the fight and tries to have her manaphy use heart swap but Cobalion interrupts it but slamming into the pokemon and Melody warns Katherine about the dangers of that pokemon.

[attr="class","pokkenger"]

as they come out of the shadows kazimir holds his tongue in issuing any more commands as he sees someone familiar on the back of the kyogre. it...it really shouldn't be surprising considering who was the avatar of the large whale beast in his world but...the fact that his double was married to this...sea queen was...well...

would be one of his choices in partners if he had to pick a girl in all honesty.

"sky?! we're...married?!" did that break some kind of fugger code or something? he would need to talk to about it at some point if the both of them were still alive after this. would it be in poor taste if he was the one consoling the real skyler if she suddenly became a widow though?

his train of thought was brought to derailment when a tentacle whipped at him slicing his shoulder open making him lose balance and fall off of his dragon who barely managed to grab onto his foot as he dangled upside down from its hold yet his weight was not something it could hold very well. blood trickled down his arm as he looked at the scene below through pained grimaces. the kyogre was firing off attacks left and right and while skyler was brave to challenge her own royal double it seemed like that nobility was better than the peasantry in this instance. in that case it was time for a pauper to become a prince as he started to swing himself in his dragon's grip.

"drop me down! and stop that big whale kyogre from hitting any of our buds!" he yells out as his dragapault gives some of his own heft into the swing as it lets go of kazimir and fires off a volley of dragon darts to strike at primal kyogre's fins to slow it down. meanwhile kazimir twisted his body to try and aim an elbow at the sea mother as he let out a gutteral battle cry, "hey sea mama! i'm calling for a divorce!"

    * kazimir gets injured by sea skyler!
    * has dragapult swing him down towards sea skyler!
    * dragapult uses dragon darts on sea primal kyogre's fins!
    * kazimir tries to elbow drop on sea mother sea!skyler!

I'D FALL UPON MY SWORD - BEFORE I CALL OFF THIS WAR
[break]
[attr="class","leprosearlo"]


"I'll melt the rest of your face off."[break][break]

Razz just narrows his eye at this annoyed, not caring how much the other him seemed to enjoy this violence. "This doesn't bother you in the slightest? Trying to take prisoners or just any of this?" the Ranger can't help but ask and his stomach can't help but twist at the answer given. [break][break]

"Well like mom always said, 'Orders are orders,'" with that sea!Razz gives a snap of his hand and the Volcanian obeys while they send off a STEAM ERUPTION at both him and Reshiram. With a mix of the jets on their tail, and the gifts Razz was given a single massive explosion goes off as it sends both human and pokemon on either side of the attack to avoid it. His sea counter part seems to predict where he plans want him to go as he is almost already there. Water arm in the shape of a blade ready to strike, but if the explosions have taught him anything by now it was to react quick. Arm up, Razz is able to create another one to change and make himself go up and behind the other before setting off another at his back. [break][break]

[break]

With the explosion going off on their back the other growls in annoyance. "First that wannabe Queen look alike and now you? The hell is wrong with you people!?" they growl as the force makes them stumble forward, to which Razz seems confused because one the blasted hypocrite is able to turn himself to water. And two did the red creature he controlled not give him anything? [break][break]

"Consider them a gift," Razz says as he creates a purple flame in his hand but he doesn't use it as an idea hits him. "Though its not the only thing I can do," as he says this the fire in his hand separates into 3 to create a large field around them for his TERRAIN OF TRUTH. "I can also prove that didn't kill your king, as I really rather not fight another war"[break][break]

Though before he could explain how, or even his counter part reply others enter his terrain and suddenly connects with him. Once again worried about the other as he swore he saw red again. He doesn't get the chance to say much as his baton is stolen from him and used to shock the other's water counter part. Well least they could watch each other's backs now. [break][break]

"Don't you have your own thing you can use?" he had the Latias right?[break][break]


[break]

Meanwhile after avoiding the first attack things are getting heated between the two fire legends as attacks are exchanged. A slight disadvantage as ORGIN PULSE soars at them while the Volcanian attacks on their own. Its when the Latias comes in and offers her TAILWIND that things get easier in terms of movement. When the SPIRIT SHACKLE binds their enemies. with a roar Multiple rocks are created before Reshiram sends them smashing down with the use of ANCIENT POWER

Mirror Match


Round 1- Fight!


"Ever keep things bottled up inside too? Wait, what am I doing... I won't forgive you for what your people have done to us." Said Sea-Doug, brows furrowing deeply as electricity crackled over his skin, Tapu Koko sweeping past at high speed to land besides him, staring across the isle blankly at their opponent.

"Tch... Wouldn't expect ya to." Muttered the youth through grit teeth, reaching up to pull the brim of his hat over his eyes in shame, his counterpart doing the same with his own to mask his anger.

Doug couldn't exactly grill the other for that... But that didn't mean he could leave it at that. Both Dougs looked at one another wearily for a moment... Before their worries prompted them to look around at the same time.

Doug's gaze was first drawn to , Sea-Doug's to Sea-, both clicking their tongues as they quickly snapped their gazes back to one another.

Doug didn't have time for this. His friends (and colleagues, but whatever) were in danger.

He needed to make peace with his clone somehow, no matter how angry the other was.

"I don't enjoy this so... I'll make it quick." Sea-Doug finally said after a moment, eyes gleaming yellow as electricity danced over his skin.

Doug's eyes grew wide in alarm.

Shit! If he didn't do something quick, a fight really might break out! Think Doug, think! Stall! Somehow, stall yourself! How could you-

"WAIT!" Doug said suddenly, his voice so loud it jarred his other self into stopping, the frowning water boy tilting a brow in askance.

"... Uh... So how's ?" He asked awkwardly, unable to stop himself from bringing both index fingers together as the subject suddenly came to the forefront of his mind.

An awkward silence settled between the two as Mer-Doug stared blankly at his counterpart, jaw lax as explosions and shouts and beams went off in the background.

Then-
[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850907874325823529/868658650661654639/Megalo_Box_OST_Soundtrack_247_-_MEGALOBOX_Sorrow.mp3[/player]

"What's that supposed to mean."


Sand crystalized at their feet as the electricity being generated by the sea youth grew out of control, his face twisting into a furious scowl.

Sea-Doug, who thought little of the other universe's party, and didn't think much better of his own counterpart, couldn't help but see those words as some sort of implied... threat.

"... That was a mistake. Can I take that back? I take it back- I TAKE IT BACK!" Screamed Doug as he suddenly dropped on his ass, missing an arch of lightning as it soared over his head and slammed on the beach somewhere behind him, crystalizing more sand.

Blinking at the aftermath, the youth couldn't help but cringe inwardly, whining outloud.

"That's just not fair." He whined, thinking about his neon pink dandruff.

He could almost feel an offended scoff from within his cape.

"ANSWER ME!" Screamed his sea-counterpart irately, one hand raising in a twitching, painful motion before it swiped out wildly at the OTHER youth.

With a panicked scream, Doug leapt up and grabbed onto his Orbeetle's legs, the beetle swiftly yanking them both up to avoid the arc of electricity that swept past like a whip.

In the middle of this, had the gall to ask him to help in her circus tricks.

"I'M BUSY!" Screamed Doug with some panicky ire of his own even as his Orbeetle spun sharply in place and whipped its head, sending the Lapras flying towards them.

Doug felt his stomach reel.

"Oooh... that don't feel right..." He groaned, his grip on his pokemon's legs weakening as his head swam, before he unceremoniously fell back down to the sand- just in time for a beam of lightning to barely miss his crotch area.

Suddenly even more alarmed, the youth scrambled to his feet on the beach while giving his other self an incredulous look. Where the hell was he aiming at?!

Sea-Doug, for his part, was panting harshly while glaring with enough venom to murder a Rocket, teeth gritting harshly as his body twitched and spasmed erratically in places.

Perhaps he over-exerted himself in anger- perhaps electricity powers did not go well with his body, regardless of avatar status. Either way- Doug saw a chance...

"Now that it's come to this... Guess I ain't got no choice." Doug said dramatically as he reached up for his hat, tipping it at his other self with a serious look in his eyes, orbs narrowing as he lowered his stance.

His panting counterpart mirrored him, preparing himself for a match.

And then Doug turned around and ran.


"RUN AWAY!" Screamed Doug to his Orbeetle as he sprinted towards the edge of the water, the beetle quickly leaping in front of the youth to catch him before it took off...

With his counterpart hot in a furious pursuit.

"Slow 'em down, SLOW 'EM DOWN!" screamed Doug, banging his fist atop carapace, his pokemon's eyes glowing neon pink before the weight of localized gravity suddenly fell upon Sea-Doug and Tapu Koko as the other boy leapt into the sea, momentarily stopping them in place.

"The blood! Go for the blood!" Doug ordered next, looking at King 's corpse.

Peaceful resolutions with his counterpart were (hopefully momentarily) down. He would need to do this step on his own!

The union between Nihilego and Katherine eliminates her freedom of speech, but ’s warning is heard all the same. A specific move that can make them swap bodies, huh?
[break][break]
She’ll have to keep that in mind.
[break][break]
The beast’s SLUDGE WAVE claims both Catherine and Sea!Melody as victims. The former may phase to avoid the BEAST NEUROTOXIN, but the latter lacks such an ability— and as such, both Melody and Manaphy likely find themselves badly poisoned.
[break][break]

[break][break]
On the opposite side of the field, the two Giratina continue to (quite literally) butt heads. Their golden crowns batter against one another, singing of malice and doom. Both Renegades shriek in unison, causing the distorted realm to tremble further— as if threatening to collapse at any given moment.
[break][break]
King versus king.
[break][break]
A draw.
[break][break]
Until Melody intervenes, that is. Cobalion and Lapras’ assistance are crucial to Giratina’s crusade against its counterpart. That alone is enough to tip the scales in their favour, but Kat won’t stop there. Far from it. Having forced Catherine to turn into anti-matter already, the Ultra Burst Nihilego casts its HEX, intent on assaulting the woman whilst she hides from the poisonous, treacherous terrain.
[break][break]
… Which pushes sea!melody into action.
[break][break]
Manaphy is driven to SWAP HEARTS between the four of them— but it only succeeds in part. Katherine’s mind, preemptively influenced by Nihilego, remains shrouded with a protective, impenetrable veil.
[break][break]

[break][break]
Perhaps this is the definite proof that she is heartless - but isn’t. She finds herself in sea!melody’s shoes, staring at herself from the other side of the distorted domain.
[break][break]
notes:[break]
- sea!kat is still in her anti-matter form, evading the poisonous sludge wave and whatever remains of it.[break]
- giratina vs giratina ensues, but they appear to be equal in strength. thankfully, cobalion and lapras intervene, tipping the scales in origin forme giratina's favour.[break]
- sea!melody & manaphy are potentially poisoned by sludge wave (refer to beast neurotoxin ability description)[break]
- sea!melody uses heart swap, but only the hearts of melody and sea!melody are swapped. kat is immune to heart swap's effects (refer to the second ultra burst note)[break]
- katherine / nihilego use HEX to assault sea!catherine while she's in her anti-matter form, either to strike her or force her to step on the treacherous terrain (and likely suffer from the poison too).[break]

Melody watched in awe as Katherine became one with her ultra beast, she was beautifully scary in this form but all the more intrigued. She wished she could do something like that with her Pokémon, feel what they feel. [break][break]

However she'd soon find herself in a situation where she didn't ask for it. Sea!melody trying to escape the poison katherine inflicted her with had manaphy use heart swap on everyone it could influence, swapping Sea!melody and regular Melody's mind. She..she felt strange like herself but more..."awake". [break][break]

"God damn it, NOT AGAIN. Now you're really fucked." she said as she stared down her doppelganger. In this body, melody wasn't as mentally limited by the influence of and rocket, now she was truly a terror. "Cobalion, im over here now! We watched that movie together during christmas." she waved as she knew he was capable of more advanced thought that some of her previous pokemon as it seemed to have managed to dodge the heart swap. He stared at her, her expressions were different but sea melody would not have known about that private moment they had shared so he had no choice but to believe her "Movie? You guys watched a movie together?! that's so cute!" [break][break]

"Using coaching on Lapras and advise her of the situation. We need to end this fight quickly before this body dies to the poison. Freeze dry Manaphy." she orders as Cobalion follows up and tells Lapras what to do. Manaphy was assaulted by the ice attack Lapras launched as sea!melody makes her move. [break][break]

Sea!melody stomped on the floor similar to a child "Not fair! Not fair! Imagine how manaphy and I feel, you guys killed our king!" she shouts as Manaphy responds and realizes that's her melody and Begins to channel a large whirlpool to throw at Melody as she falls to her knee. "Katherine! Help!" she cries out as she cant move from the poison.

Notes: [break][break]

Melody is awake as this new body is not subjected to the experiments of rocket and madeleine. [break][break]

Quickly comes up with a way to maintain control of Cobalion and Lapras via coaching and how Melody spent a lot of time with cobalion..[break][break]

Sea!melody gets upset with the whole situation and starts to try and get them to understand their point of view. [break][break]

Melody falls to her knee and is stuck in place thanks to the pain from the beast neurotoxin and cant dodge the whirlpool that manaphy used and calls out to for help.

Laurs was determined to push forth.

Sénon wasn't sure why he was impressed, had been holding down the Rangers as top dog long before he washed up from Kanto.

They didn't really see each other in these high stakes situations often, 'divide and conquer' and all that.

If he'd known about the wound he might have urged his Co-Head to heal it fully before moving on. Silently, he grimaced at the thought of Laurs getting himself killed and leaving the Rangers in his hands.

Add that to the ignore list.

The pointing of Cait down below, or a Cait down below was harder to ignore. Luckily set a play that was easy to follow. Off in the distance he pursed a spire protruding from the sea.

In support, Sénon went after a different spire.


♦︎♣︎♥︎♠︎


Descending from the skies on route to the ELECTRIC SPIRE the man and 'mon were headed off near its base by a ZEN HEADBUTT from a pokémon Sénon had never seen before.


Even still, he'd made fillet out of enough Basculin to know when one was staring him down, even one as gargantuan and ornate as this one. Best guess; a megastone at play.

Half Ranton's size, it generated enough force ramming into them to submerge the Gyarados and knock the Ranger clear from his flying-seadragon into the sea.

Disoriented, his bearings were tossed and lost under the waves. When his eyes found the sun piercing the water's surface he swam towards it, only to be spun and rotated by underwater currents and pulled down deeper.

He barely had enough time to make out the millions of ripples on the waters surface. Notice of 's teleportation shenanigans were lost on him as he remained forcefully submerged.

Before long the 'currents' began to take more precise impacts on him until they felt like hands grabbing at him.

He was so slow underwater, it took moments to realize it was a person dragging him down, and staying just outside his vision with a swiftness about the water he couldn't match.



The underwater assault subsided as small arms and hands wrapped around his chest from behind. A voice cooed into his ear carrying through the water as if it were air. "You remind me of someone... I ride this Basculegion because it reminds me of him." He could feel the warm flesh of cheeks and lips caressing the nape of his neck. "His fire was so bright, and wild." A hand trailed down his core, the other, his bicep. The longing and lament in the voice rang true. "-my Seamount."


Ranton thrashed about the "Basculegion" taking its attacks until finally growing enraged enough to retailiate without Sénon's expressed orders.

Left to her devices, Ranton got nasty.

Her ICE FANGS clamped down the head of the evolved Bascul- and wouldn't let go. In turn the Big Fish CRUNCHED on the Gyarados' belly. Locking into tearing a mortal chunk from one another Ranton went for a brutal but improper finish.

From the dragon's maw a piercing light began to gather, which meant for Ranton, a HYPER BEAM
was coming.

Caught in the pending blast zone, the voice released him, seemingly to flee. Leaving the Head Ranger enough time to call her back to her pokéball before her tantrum killed him.

There was nothing stopping the bleeding Basculegion now save for what he assumed was its trainer. As it made way towards him he reached about the lining of his suit for the right pokéball.

Turning his head away from the approaching Big Fish for but an instant he turned back to scan the depths for the source of the voice, with nothing behind him he turned to face front to find a golden gaze and a face that put his heart in a vice and his priorities in conflict. Case in point-

"I never once thought Arceus cruel until now."



-his heart said 'stay', but his lungs made their own demands.

In the words that are whispered against her ear, Skyler learns the echo of what she could've been. Of who she could've become, had she chosen to thread a different path.

And maybe, just maybe, of who she could still become, if only she had reason to reach for it.

Blood coats her tongue, gurgled out and spat onto salt-soaked rocks as the Sea Queen's attention is demanded elsewhere. Skyler groans and rolls over, pushing through the spots in her vision and the rising nausea to hoist herself up.

Her breath is a sharp wheeze between gritted teeth as she turns around, immediately recognizing Kaz's mop of blond hair. Hah! Just like old times.

"Thanks, sea husband."

Except that this time they weren't facing off against a megalopolan or a pirate. 

Surprised by the sudden attack, the Sea Queen reacts far too slowly to block 's elbow. Silver eyes widen, heartbreak briefly breaking past the rage as she staggers back, bloodied. 

"Disgusting oaf." Sea!Skyler snarls, murderous. "You are not fit to wear his face." 

The distraction, however, proves enough for Skyler to creep closer. And as a beam of Origin Pulse screeches past, terrifyingly close to them, the captain throws all caution and self-preservation to the wind. 

AQUA RINGS envelop the Sea Queen's staff, hopefully exploding the wood to expose the beacon within. 


___________________________________________

tldr:

- don't compare yourself to your au self oof
- skyler recovers a little from being owned by the sea queen
- sea queen skyler is hit by kazimir's elbow. ow ow that must've hurt
- is pissed, ofc. also hurt
- skyler seizes the distraction to use her powers. uses AQUA RINGS to explode the sea queen's staff (since she did nothing with them the previous post)
- hopefully preventing the next attack against kazimir
- we GOT THIS, MUSCLE BUDDIES

When the dust settles, there is more to this fight than just the two of them. The world comes crashing down around them in the form of a NATURE'S MADNESS. It thrashes the Tyrantrum, dragging the shadow Pokemon out of the throes of Sea!Stormy's Moltres. It gives the bird a chance to catch its breath and take to the skies again. Given that it's met more than its match, the legendary bird changes objective. Rather than worry about the Tyrantrum, the Moltres turns its attention to ' Articuno.

With a clap of its ass cheeks wings, the Moltres unleashes a HEAT WAVE upon its ice-type counterpart, hopefully combatting the Pokemon's Z-MOVE. The Moltres screams, challenging the Articuno to take them both. Sea!Stormy laughs, obviously under the impression that she had the upper hand. The real Stormy sets her jaw and whistles for her Pokemon to get back on her feet. The dinosaur bellows, the sandstorm rages on, and she turns back to the Moltres. She has one goal, to succeed, to conquer.

"Keep it up, girl. Show them what true defeat looks like. Show them how far we've come!"

Sea!Moltres already seems worse for wear, having survived Tyrantrum's assault coupled with Sea!Tapu Fini's NATURE'S MADNESS. The rain and the sand wears it down further, so it avoids fighting the prehistoric monstrosity. It pivots in the air, desperately trying to out-fly the ANCIENT POWER flung at it. Tyrantrum is not the least bit concerned with friendly fire either, and the rocks that miss Moltres are likely to interfere with anyone else's battles, potentially 's and 's.

notes:
- ability DARK SANDS in use! sandstorm rages for 3 more posts
- ability DARK METAMORPHISM[ in use! sh!tyrantrums normal-type moves are rock-type
- tyrantrum and sea!moltres are hit by sea!tapu fini's NATURES MADNESS
- moltres abandons battling tyrantrum and turns on 's articuno. uses HEAT WAVE
- tyrantrum continues pursuing moltres, using ANCIENT POWER. the attacks are being evaded, and the rocks might interfere with and 's battles.
