[break][break]
PIGGIE SMALLS BOUNCES IN FRUSTRATION— if one can possibly convey such an emotion in intervals of temporary flight. still, the spoink urges the elite four member on.[break][break][break]

when bailey's hand casts away the dust, she finds that the red was simply that. accumulated grains, sooty and red thanks to mt. chimney's hot activity. the exposed ore is beautiful: a shimmering, reflective stone encased in an austere boulder.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

the warmth in her hand lingers on the stone. a swirl of energy seems to glisten inside, activated perhaps by bailey's touch. as the glimmer is caught by bailey's eye, the plateau begins to quake.[break][break][break]

the sky seems to tremble too.[break][break][break]

It was... pretty.[break][break]

Bailey let her eyes linger in the depths, unable to resist the urge to state the obvious. “Smalls, this thing is wayyy too big. You'd break your neck,” unless they could get someone out here to excavate it? Refine it down to a manageable size? Maybe someone like would know what to do?[break][break]

“Shit, I should have brought that nerd with me. He'd know what this stuff is,” because League Head Scientists were supposed to be qualified.[break][break]

That was when something seemed to catch her eyes—the slightest of stirrings, so subtle that she would have dismissed it for a trick of the light.[break][break]

That was when the earth began to quiver. A small rumble beneath her feet that amplified in magnitude, growing to a strength that traveled throughout the entire body. “What? What the fuck—?”[break][break]

Feeling too strong to be a move executed by a pokemon, she backed away from the orb with shambling steps.[break][break]

Something in her skull rattled, like it was trying to relay information as she took to the ground; knees dirtied as she reached out a hand to keep on Smalls. “Okay, earthquake... earthquake... you, uh, fuck! Just stay down!”[break][break]

Her other hand went to her belt, feeling her pokeballs as her mind felt out their options.[break][break]

“It might just pass. We're near Mt. Chimney,” and she was wondering if she was trying to calm herself or the Spoink.[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]FIGHTING OVER A ROCK
[break][break]
THE EARTHQUAKE DOES NOT SUBSIDE. their plateau begins to crumble. from the earth, ramps of rock jut out like spikes. the crystal within the stone begins to glow wildly in kaleidoscope gradients. it seems attracted to something, or repulsed, one can not be sure.[break][break][break]

as piggie smalls hides behind , half of their crater plunges deeper into the earth in a violent crash. bailey and the spoink are knocked to the ground. red claws clutch the rough edge, cracking stone as a large dinosaur-like behemoth heaves itself on to their level.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

it roars. then lunges for the stone. each advance it makes causes their remote ring of rock to groan, as if in threat of collapse. however, a another shriek and a flash of green stop the pokemon in its tracks. it clashes with the pokemon, verdant tail flailing behind it in threatening patterns.[break][break][break]

they seem to be fighting over the stone— and in their resulting conflict, and her spoink is in the way. the snake draconid fires a HYPER BEAM (of course, it's bailey) and spikes of stone begin collapsing segments of the earth. should they remain still, they may be struck by their attacks—or plunge into the depths below.[break][break][break]

It did not pass.[break][break]

Bailey felt the tremble as it traveled from the ground to her chest; the sound of churning earth only revealing its full might as prodigious claws breached the surface. With that, she felt the shift, as weight from one end of their platform was applied with such force that it seemed to threaten a full tip into the depths.[break][break]

Earth made malleable shuddered beneath such application, like it was more akin to sand than something solid; whatever was coming, it would be able to cleave this platform with unimaginable force.[break][break]

“We gotta go—!” Old memories arose, old panic.[break][break]

Her feet failed to find traction. As she scooped Smalls into her arms, her efforts to push were useless as the platform became steep; rainbow lights casting across the stone arena signaling like an alarm to her eyes. She had to shield a hand to dampen its intensity.[break][break]

And with that moment, the twist of her head was enough for her to catch sight of the emerging monstrosity; something in its shape harking back to a nightmare that Bailey cannot place.[break][break]

That was not an Ultra Beast.[break][break]

Wind howled, and with it, her sight obscured by the fraying and tossing of her bangs. The draft pushed down against the shoulders; oppressive.[break][break]

How could it feel like the sky was shaking? As her eyes glance back, staring at the elongation of the descending titan, she found her answer. This time, the shape of a new creature unfamiliar with its draconian fury.[break][break]

Run. Their conflict for the awakened orb was not fully understood as the Elite Four member dug her nails into the ground, uncaring if it brought discomfort from the scrape. With that, she was able to find a strength in her throes, propelling her into a mad dash against the sinking of the platform.[break][break]

There was that same overbearing presence, that same unspeakable strength, that Bailey Cooper had come to recognize; the thrum of charging lights as the green dragon parted its maw to show the overflowing light. Hyper beam. Her best friend.[break][break]

Her hand snapped one of the capsules from her belt; white wings the first thing seen from the released red light as her Togekiss sunk her claws into her shoulders. “Extreme Speed!” There was no need for complex instruction.[break][break]

Wind ruptured twice; Togekiss sailing across the length of the tilting plateau and towards the rotating light of the rainbow orb; out of the way of the beam. Bailey felt her shoes skid, aggravating the blisters from her hike as she came to the orb and then attempt to slink her way behind it.[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]FIGHTING OVER A ROCK
[break][break]
A HORRIBLE SOUND cracks as the burst of speed brings togekiss and bailey toward the rainbow orb. despite the fairy's haste, the beam moves erratically like a light reflected by a moving mirror. the groudon and rayquaza wrestling cause the trajectory of the attack to clip the togekiss' wing.[break][break]

the togekiss hits the earth in a spray of rock and dirt, catapulting bailey across the plateau and close to the rainbow orb. ahead of her, she can see the exposed mountain below. more earth— but she can see a pulsing vein of what appears to be magma.[break][break]

the stone flickers wildly— while piggie smalls' own orb seems to radiate energy too. the spoink bounces with small hands extended attempting to help bailey up from the ground.[break][break]

briefly, the behemoths ahead do not seem to notice bailey and her pokemon yet. however, the earth beneath her begins to grow hotter and hotter against her skin.[break][break][break]

Bailey was used to rough landings.[break][break]

She felt her body curve, hitting the ground at such an angle that she could buckle and roll with its flow; better to follow the force than to fight it. In this mad tumble, she linked her arms around Piggie Smalls, hoping to shield the pokemon with her own body. The skid did more to her jacket than her own skin, as she felt her shoulders roll and drag across the rocky terrain.[break][break]

Falling a few feet short from the orb, she would open her eyes to see Tink attempting to regain her composure. The burn that scored the corner of her fairy's wing was blackened and ugly with its char. “Fuck our luck,” were the best words that she could choke out as she fought to stand.[break][break]

Trainer and pokemon would recuperate. Tink flexing her wings as Bailey would take Piggie Smalls by the small outstretch of its hand; there wasn't enough time to nurse their wounds.[break][break]

It was only when she accepted that help that Bailey felt her eyes drift to the spoink's pearl, noting the same reflective light that emitted from the even larger construct. Her mind was not allowed to linger on such an observation for long, but she felt like her earlier suspicion had been confirmed; there was something similar.[break][break]

The ground shifted, further disrupted by the weight of the monoliths crashing behind them; earth split to reveal the heated veins that ran deep beneath its surface. It kept her from thinking, kept her from feeling, as adrenaline urged her to move.[break][break]

They had to act before they could be caught in the crossfire.[break][break]

“They'll drag us down with 'em!” Her feet carry her as Tink would fly in tow; the original plan still in action as she sough to hide herself behind the radiating light of the construct.[break][break]

The aching of her lungs demanded a hand be pressed to the surface of the construct as she would breathe, trying to find the time to fight down the panic, like someone seeking a wall for support. “What the fuck? What? Fuck?”[break][break]

She looked to Smalls. She looked to the ensnared shapes of Groudon and Rayquaza as they collided against one another. She looked to the sky, like an unseen God would answer her.[break][break]

There wasn't enough time to lament her luck.[break][break]

“We gotta pick the right time to make a break for it,” because they weren't the target of this ongoing conflict. They were just caught in the middle of it.[break][break]

Tink executed Life Dew, letting healing waters soothe her burn.[break][break]

“On my mark, we use Extreme Speed and get the fuck outta here. Smalls, you're gonna use Psychic, and we're gonna take this fucking thing with us.” She talked like the hot air would fill her chest, like bravado would spell success.[break][break]

And her head would turn, watching the two unknown pokemon clash; the tilt of the ground growing more dramatic as their weights pushed further down.[break][break]

They couldn't afford to be caught by another hyper beam.[break][break]

"Think you can handle it, Smalls?" and that would be when her hand would transition from one rainbow-like surface to another; fingers grasping around the red orb in a kind gesture, as if to give the Spoink a reassuring touch.[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]A GIANT ROCK
[break][break]
AS PIGGIE SMALLS musters a mountain of courage from within its tiny body, the RED ORB begins to glow.[break][break][break]

the healed togekiss readies itself, swirls of wind eddying around its feet. in this remote location of hoenn, the cataclysmic encounter is unknown to most; however, the rumblings and quakes of the earth travel far.[break][break][break]

when the red orb exudes light, the groudon stops, distracted by the emanation of this new energy. the rayquaza strikes the groudon as it is sidetracked, tossing the dinosaur down on to its large gut.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

crying out with all of its energy, the spoink lifts the large crystal out of its rocky cage. the stone hovers toward bailey— and behind it, comes a flying rayquaza, snaking itself green segments toward bailey like a jade sansetsukon.

the groudon cries out.[break][break][break]

the red orb pulses again— as if responding to the crimson creature. bailey feels it too. the legendary seems to ask with its primal gaze: USE IT ON ME.[break][break][break]

Bailey cannot distinguish her own tremble from the ground.[break][break]

It felt like the sky would fall, like all of its sundering force would press her down; grinding, she realized her jaw had been locked the moment her fingers had touched the orb.[break][break]

Something felt familiar in that brief glow of light, and it was enough to draw her focus as Piggie Smalls rendered crystal from construct. Crumbling, she can hear the separation, and then the resounding calamity as the red monolith was cast aside.[break][break]

She wondered if such force was how these mountains were made in the first place; massifs threatening to shape themselves beneath such crushing weight.[break][break]

“Tink, take Smalls,” she breathed. “Get 'em outta here.”[break][break]

That was when the segmented dragon aligned itself, straightening its trajectory like a descending spear. She felt like a durant in its sights, only distracted by the link that tethered in her mind; claws scratching through bone with its static-like draw, beckoning her gaze to the collapsed legendary.[break][break]

She knew.[break][break]

That was when her hand plucked the red orb from atop the Spoink's head, sundering its psychic energy and leaving the crystal to collapse without its tether.[break][break]

At that moment, feet pushed from the ground as she ran; dirtied shoes protesting the surge as Tink sprung to action behind her. Across the distance, across the tilting platform, Bailey Cooper lunged for the shape of the crystal.[break][break]

Like Mossdeep, she breathed and sought fire as her hand pressed to its rainbow-like surface.[break][break]

She had performed primal evolution; once.[break][break]

DO SOMETHING, YOU DUMBASS.

THE CRYSTAL doesn't seem to activate upon bailey's touch. behind her, she can hear her spoink exerting its power. psychic energies wrap around the red orb instead. finally, the rainbow crystal begins to glimmer. a shimmering energy is siphoned into the orb as it glows like lava.[break][break][break]

with a shriek, piggie smalls redirects the energy toward the groudon. suddenly, the groudon begins to shift. its vibrant red plates shift into a deep crimson. fangs and spikes turn pitch black as the energy that fills the groudon spills forth as magma.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

from the immense heat the groudon exudes, the air around it wavers like a mirage. afterward, piggie smalls crumples to the floor— and the groudon peers back at bailey with its glowing eye, beckoning for you to take control of it. the rayquaza rushes forth, an EXTREME SPEED deployed to avoid the groudon— and to seize the crystal for itself.[break][break][break]

“Fuck,” and Bailey patted a hand to a crystal like it was a light switch, wondering why nothing happened. Was this not like Mossdeep? “Oh fuck?”[break][break]

Dumbassery would finally spell her demise.[break][break]

Or it would have, if not for the trill of Piggie Smalls. Her eyes pull to the Spoink, feeling the strength behind the war-cry and then the radiation of energy that swept from it. Its flow came, filled, and then overflowed from what was clenched in her hand.[break][break]

Her eyes followed; orb, crystal, then to the red giant as the connection was finally established.[break][break]

The overflowing heat flushed over her body with such an intensity that she had to blink back tears; heat searing straight to the white of her eyes like curling smoke. She had to raise her hands just to brace against it.[break][break]

Smalls' fall would be interrupted; marshmallow wings extended to catch the Psychic pokemon to envelope it. She caught sight of Tink as her head twisted back to avoid staring into the searing light of the mega evolution. “Go! Hurry! Find somewhere safe!”[break][break]

Because when she had found the Spoink, she had already been mourning the death of a pokemon.[break][break]

She prayed she would not have to mourn for another—heart clenching at the limp form of the small pokemon. “Go! I'll be...alright.”[break][break]

Throat dry as she turned back, she held the red monolith's gaze. “Don't even think about eating me,” and with that command spoken, she glanced ahead to their mutual foe; she could still feel the lava-like energy flowing out from the orb, and hoped for it to last.[break][break]

As Rayquaza sped around Groudon, re-configuring its original approach, Bailey raised her hand up like the drawing of strings.[break][break]

And then brought them straight down with one sharp motion. “Smack down,” ordering for the two titans to cleave into one another once more; a tremble in her voice, like she had been seated in a saddle that she still struggled to fill. "Bring 'em down!"[break][break]

The tilt of the plate growing more drastic as she shouted her order, commanding the legendary to action as it sprang from the ground to grapple with their segmented foe; large claws raised and brought down with hammer-like force.[break][break]

THE RAYQUAZA CRIES, its ancient wail surging through flesh and bone like lightning. bailey's togekiss carries the limp spoink on its wings, bursting into the distance in a flourish of feathers.[break][break][break]

the groudon summons stones above. they crash on to the verdant dragon, causing its snake-like body to crumple on to the earth. however, it crawls toward the glimmering crystal close to bailey's hand.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

as it nears, the elite four would be able to see rayquaza begin to metamorphosize. a yellow Δ begins to form on its forehead as glowing tendrils start to grow from its lower horns; however, the transformation is not complete. it seems as if the dragon wants the crystal for itself.[break][break][break]

as if cursed by god, the serpent crawls on the earth, using ANCIENT POWER to attempt to strike them— and destroy the ground beneath them. below, magma churns like the digestive liquid in the gut of a pitcher plant. if bailey and her groudon do not move, they will surely plummet.[break][break][break]

Her hands clutched to the rough, unshaven edges of the crystal.[break][break]

It was all that Bailey had to hold onto.[break][break]

Roars from the grounded green dragon flowed like electricity down her spine; all hairs raised as Rayquaza continued its approach. Crawling, pulling, its vestigial claws dragging the length of its serpent-like body, she watched the formation of the sigil upon its head as it began a metamorphosis of its own.[break][break]

Groudon marched, building slow momentum with each step as it attempted to intersect its crawling foe; attempting to cut between Rayquaza and the crystal it sought. With each tremendous step of the legendary, Bailey can only cast her eyes to the rolling boil of the exposed magma; bubbles bursting to release plumes of heat.[break][break]

As Ancient Power manifested, she recalled a move of primal power—a name that had escaped her, until this moment.[break][break]

“Precipice Blades!” She would scream, raising her hand to cast her fingers; frayed like a wall of spikes.[break][break]

Rising, ground trembled and then reshaped as her command was heard; Groudon raising a enclosed fist before colliding it to the malleable surface.[break][break]

In that fissure, rock-faced blades rose like bramble as it followed a line to the collapsed Rayquaza. Some blades standing so steep, so tall, they would rise to interrupt the manifestation of Ancient Power. Ground against rock, crashing and spearing into one another in a collision that was intended to fragment the Rayquaza's attack; spear it and hold it together.[break][break]

It unfolded so fast, with such fervor, that Bailey ran to Groudon when it felt like it was already too late.[break][break]

THE PRIMAL POWER OF PRECIPICE BLADES renders the plateau asunder. magmatic monoliths erupt from the earth, spiking down the line with ear-splitting explosions. the rayquaza attempts to evade it. segments of its jade body zigzag— but it is ultimately hit.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

as the rayquaza is struck in its gut, the end of the pillar explodes. the dragon screeches as it is blown back. even bailey would be able to feel deep down in her marrow, the sheer intensity of groudon's strength. the creature is wild. unrelenting. compared to before, the groudon seems more difficult to control in its primalized state.[break][break][break]

the mountain's plateau shakes. more of the earth falls away to the magma below. as the rayquaza roars, it defers the battle to the crimson beast. however, in a petty, parting shot, the rayquaza summons a powerful DRACO METEOR. a comet of draconic energy is launched to the earth as the rayquaza flees to the heavens.[break][break][break]

as it strikes the mountain with immense speed and force. bailey is knocked off the back of the primal beast— just as the earth falls away underneath them. they begin to tumble into volcanic depths below.[break][break][break]

Clumsy hands sought the division between Groudon's armor-like plates.[break][break]

Bailey Cooper felt her fingers clutch into the awakened grooves that ran as long and as stark as ravines, trying to latch to a creature that so easily dwarfed her; on her waist, a cold truth revealed as a single pokeball sat on her belt. The rest were empty, marked by their minimized size to reflect their lacking contents.[break][break]

She had only brought Tink.[break][break]

One trembling hand clutched the red orb to her chest, cradling the object like an egg; her only ounce of control. In a last moment of thought, it was tucked into the inner pocket of her jacket, where it jutted and refused to be concealed.[break][break]

Without it, this pokemon was primal and unyielding; rapid and frothing and all-consuming with a heat that began to singe her hands and make the skin protest.[break][break]

“You better run!” Bailey screamed to the heavens, holding herself to a pokemon that felt like it could not be restrained. “Next time we fight, I'll shove you into a pokeball! You hear me? That's a promise!” A promise that rang with such volume that it made her head ache from the blood rush.[break][break]

It rang empty at the sight of the draco meteor.[break][break]

Panic. “Destroy it! Solar Beam—!” but her command was uttered too late. Her vision flared white.[break][break]

The ruination of the impact was blinding. Her hands were unable to retain their grip as the wake of its force washed over her; it came with such speed she thought it was the same as pulling her soul from her own body, like death had come and cleaved her within that fraction of a moment.[break][break]

But that was the feeling of her fall. That was the sensation of gravity.[break][break]

The gathered solar light formed in the gullet of the beast, but as the ground collapsed, Groudon released an attack that struck across an empty and rumbling sky; a beam of pure, raw energy decapitating the tip of a far-off mountain with its screech as it stretched across the skyline.[break][break]

Falling. She was falling.[break][break]

Bailey hit the raw surface of the chasm, so propelled by force that she felt her body hit its surface like she were a discarded doll.[break][break]

Like Mt. Pyre, her hands blindly sought traction; fingers digging into raw grooves, trying to snag onto anything to slow her decent. Instead, she can only feel something hot and viscous spray out from her fingers. Earth cutting and shredding her skin that it refused to slow her.[break][break]

Nothing will save me this time.[break][break]

Her jacket tore, lined by a show of blood that followed its division.[break][break]

I still can't win.[break][break]

Her shoes tried to catch, but their weak, canvas-like material was unable to find traction.[break][break]

Hasn't this been a long time coming?[break][break]

A jutting section of rock stuck out like a precipice. Her body landed atop of it.[break][break]

When she hit, it came with such force that it choked the air from her body as her side took the brunt of the blow; then, her slant, as she felt herself skidding off from its surface as the rest of her weight refused to be stopped. Her arms outstretched to grasp onto the ledge, feeling her nails drag as she desperately tried to hold on, tried to not look over her shoulder, tried to not see the rolling boil of certain death—[break][break]

All she could feel was the numbness of her arms, then their tremble. The jutting edges of the red orb still poking out from the pocket that she had so crudely shoved it into.[break][break]

“Please, please, please—!” where the words I don't want to die lingered unspoken, rioting against a mind that screamed that it was time to accept her failings and be broken beneath them. “I can do this! I can fucking do this! I can still—” Choking on tears, there was no amount of strength left in her body that could hold her.[break][break]

She fell.[break][break]

[attr="class","ihead"]GROUDON'S CHOICE
[break][break]
WHEN BAILEY FALLS, time seems to slow. the immense heat of the volcano, surges against her skin. as if she were being swallowed hole, she can see the edges of the crater rise taller as she plummets toward the magmatic sea coursing beneath her.[break][break][break]

but her fall is broken. as bailey pleads, stone juts out from the side of the crater wall: a platform for her to land safely on. her body feels warm, markings adorning her flesh— ones bailey can feel freshly inscribing themselves on to her like hot paint.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

groudon partially submerges itself in the magma at the end of its fall. the behemoth's primal evolution reverts— as if the same energy that caused it to mega evolve is bestowed upon bailey, instead.[break][break][break]

 [break]
[attr="class","chosen"]YOU ARE WORTHY
[attr="class","chosen2"]
groudon has chosen bailey, the volatile, as their avatar.[break]
[break][break][break]

receives the following perks:
[break]

  • bailey receives 10 infamy.
  • bailey can effectively "earthbend", able to erect pillars and walls of stone from the earth; however, she can not launch them. instead, she is able to detonate these structures violently as the pokemon move, ERUPTION.
  • bailey's body is filled with PRIMAL ENERGY, an ancient power from nature, which manifests as markings (like groudon's) on her body. subsequently, she will possess boundless energy and will not tire easily.
  • for now, groudon can not undergo PRIMAL REVERSION, for bailey possesses the energy now. this potentiality can be unlocked in the future; however, bailey herself, has the ability, DESOLATE LAND, which she can use ONCE A THREAD (size and scope determined by the moderator).
  • bailey and all of her pokemon resist water-type moves.
  • feel free to add groudon to your party and choose its moves like a gachapon pokemon.
