The path ahead is foul, murky, and full of brackish water. The perfect environment for Rhipsalis, really. Though Remiel struggled crossing the terrain slightly more than he would have without wearing stone armor. It's the main reason he's separated from Mars, finding himself with a motley crew right in the evergreen thick of it instead.

Hearing something large awaken and rise behind them, the human Runerigus turns to see the great ape charge for the friends they'd left behind. Seeing Eris Halla amongst them, he begins to channel the same ancient power he'd felt in his core earlier, this time gathering it at his hands as if he were actually weaving a spell.

"Someone ensure Eris comes to no harm!"

(Rowan Wrynn , Martín del Mar , Cossack Kurama , Dante Telos )

His ghostly voice, booming and echoed, calls across the terrain before he unleashes a glowing red HEX. Filled with the power of his will, it intends to find its way to the giant Rillaboom's face and crawl into its facial scar. Once there, the curse would attempt to summon the pain the ape felt when that scar had been inflicted, and even multiply it in an effort to buy the others time.

Meanwhile, Rhipsalis the Carnivine latches onto his master with his vines, ferrying him up out of the bog before they LEVITATE further down the path. The Unown chime like worried pups as they follow along.

Of course, he calm can’t last too long, and that much is evident when the swamp water began to gurgle and part way for something monstrous. A Giant, mutated Rilaboom that’s almost as horrifying to look at as the transformed Rockets before it. Like ants, it towers above them before letting out a paralyzing scream. Mint’s only snapped out of it by his partner who reacts before he does. Another AURORA VEIL is put up by the Abomasnow, covering the entire group whether or not they decided to engage the monster. As she did, Mint’s attention is on priam conrad and the OTHER monstrous pokemon that’s released. [break][break]

“You heard him! Beat it up, Tella!” he said turning to pokemon. She relented, moving in closer with the Guzzlord for back up while her SNOW WARNING began to kick up a hailstorm around the Rilaboom. For Mint’s part he was more interested it was looking like a diverging path behind the giant monkey. “Maybe it’s protecting something of value?” he called out, pointing behind it before beginning to make his way there. It just felt too coincidental that it blocked one path and not another. Then again, this whole place was fucking weird. “Buddy, help me out.” He added calling forth a nervous looking Unown that trembled under the rocket’s gaze before facing the thicket of trees and using HIDDEN POWER. Mint in the meantime scrambled to follow it, looking back at the dirty water before trying to use another Lapras-centric move. “Ok, ok, Lapras can use….they can use…” he muttered as his eyes began to glow and water began float up into a sphere behind him. “Aaand go!” he said pointing at the obstacle and praying for a HYDRO PUMP.

The sound of the water stirring is all the warning they seem to get before the booming sound of the behemoth of a gorilla shows itself in front of those that straggled behind. Good distractions if nothing else, though it seems like several Rockets wanted to try and protect those who were lagging behind. Something which the older scientist figured he could let the heavy hitters handle such as avatars Remiel Calcifet and Cillian Quinn. [break][break]

So rather than attempting to fight the giant gorilla Pryde does attempt to go ahead, eventually noting the breakable obstacle up north. Pryde tries to focus on the ancient power that was fueled him earlier to see if he couldn't do something. A shadow like power forming in his hand. Oh if only this will actually stick, one could only hope. "Attack with me," he orders his Lucario who gives a nod though seems worried about the large Rillaboom on the other side of the south Obstacle. [break][break]

For now both Trainer and Pokemon combined a SHADOW BALL with an AURA SPHERE to try and break down the wall for futher venturing. And for now just hope the heavy hitters were able to do something about the gorilla.

with so many eyes, it did not take long to gather that several of their group had disappeared ahead, including THEO BECKETT . she felt surprised at the feelings that hit upon the realization. even darkrai had faded somewhere into the shadows.

from the dark marsh, light suddenly burst, and a giant rillaboom was headed towards them in an instant.

to the edge of their party, she barked a warning, ”look out!”

her first instinct was to throw a pokéball—djall’s. the houndoom appeared, rabid and ravenous for combat, heading immediately for the obvious target.

pulling rinc’s coin from her chest, with a click, her dog MEGA EVOLVED, horns elongating, bone armor growing stronger, bigger. fire spat from his mouth and trailed along the wet and mud in his wake, jaws cracking open to unleash an INFERNO at the titan.

out of survival instinct alone, lulu’s levitating body began to glow, and a strange central light passed from her core towards the rampaging ape. a POWER SPLIT.

Okay. Huge ape. Much bigger than her own. Thanks to the viney connection she had to it, Violet could feel Zarude’s apprehension at the attacker. This was a Pokemon she’d once seen on TV, only a whole lot bigger. And given that it was attacking, she decidedly and enthusiastically classified it as bad news.
[break][break]
Fortunately, some other Rockets were already stepping up to fight it, hopefully meaning that they would not all get smashed immediately. Though others seemed slower to react. “If you can pull anyone away from being hit, do so. Otherwise stand ready with Jungle Healing,” she ordered, putting on her game face for once. Huge Pokemon suddenly appearing and attacking did that for her. Happened with the Jellicent too. Though she doubted that she would be allowed to catch this thing, even if they beat it.
[break][break]
A lot more important people around for that. And a lot more people that she would try to help now, while leaving the battle itself to those with legendaries and what not. Plus, she wanted to get out of the way of these attacks, too. As long as her Zarude could help with cohesion of the unit and keep others from being lost, that was good enough in her book.
[break][break]

+ - tries to get away from Rillboom
- orders Zarude to be ready to heal others and pull them away with vines if they don't get away
- double salacs to get away from death
