everybody's starry eyed

[attr="class","starrytext"]

gardevoir had been returned. bailey rescued lucas and arian. and as they galloped away and rose into the sky, events began to unfold.

so much had happened. but, in the end, bailey and arian were sent aback and away from the beasts maw. though they were still falling. in the heat of the moment, arian would reach into his suit jacket and toss out a pokeball. "pidgeot!" a flash of white light emerged from the pokeball. soaring through the air, a pidgeot would capture arian by flying underneath his falling body.

landing upon the pokemon's back. arian would be flown to safety. landing upon a building's roof close to the fight between victini and the guzzlord. as he landed upon the random building, he'd pat pidgeot. wondering just how exactly could he help? who or even what was that pokemon fighting the giant beast? what in the world is professor ?

no matter, arian needed to figure out how he could help. "eevee, pidgeot, talonflame, and starmie, out and line up!" he commanded the group. starmie, talonflame, and pidgeot stood in front. "eevee, paw-five with HELPING HAND." and in a straight line from one high-five to the next. starmie, talonflame, and pidgeot individually received a high-five from eevee. their bodies had then begun to glow a bright yellow.

"pidgeot use TWISTER! talonflame ME FIRST, and starmie MIMIC!" he ordered the trio. talonflame, pidgeot, and starmie, together, used TWISTER. inhaling deeply, a surge of funneling wind was released. traveling from afar, but together merging to become a destructive. aimed to deliver a piercingly blunt damage toward the GUZZLORD.

[attr="class","freypost"]they're falling. 

dread nearly drives her over the edge, anxiety twisting in her stomach. sickness overcomes her, but then adrenaline kicks in; her training takes over. 

lyune's guttural cries have her grinding her teeth; blood sprays across her lip as she bites too hard. the pain clears her head, gives her resolve, and she forces his arms out, knowing that they only have seconds to act before they all go crashing to the ground. 

"freefall," she cries and the salamence releases her. aeris' tail twines with sypha's and freya twists in the air, ripping two pokeballs from her necklace. sypha is returned first and a wave of short-lived relief washes over freya when the dragon is accepted. unconscious, not dead

lyune goes in next; she can't see where he's hurt from her angle, but she knows it's not good--not if he can't fly. with the extra baggage gone, aeris swoops under her, wings stretching back out. freya's sweaty hands find purchase on the rough scales of her neck and she clings to the dragon as they go down. 

it's going to kill us all. 

they land roughly and freya staggers off of aeris' back, lyune's ball back in her hand. she releases the pokemon and in the corner of her vision watches a zebstrika get ripped in half. 

lyune reemerges with a snarl, teeth snapping an inch in front of her. freya stares at him with wide eyes, shaky hands held up. he looks at her, eyes hazy with pain, tongue forking out as he smells her familiarity and relaxes. she darts to the right and goes under his outstretched, damaged wing. a deep wound has severed a major portion of it and lances up his back.

she can see bone. 

she staggers back, hand on her mouth, eyes watering. fury makes her fingers curl and she sees red. she glares upwards, gripping lyune's ball tightly in her hand. the beast is suddenly thrown backward by a forceful blast and she raises an arm up as debris blows against them. 

it's facing them now, and freya hears the cry of a strange pokemon. a cry she can understand

rook is next to her now, cheeks puffing with exertion. she commands the pokemon in front of her, and orders the same from aeris as well. behind her, lyune's growls of pain suddenly stop and she spins, alarmed, but the dragon's tail thumps powerfully into the ground. he curls his lips at his ball and then bellows with rage. 

the legendary pokemon careens towards the beast's open maw swathed in flame and freya points forward. "destroy it."

lyune's enormous body glows red as he summons a DRACO METEOR. the giant ball of light explodes from his maw and shoots straight forward with blinding speed, bursting halfway through its trajectory into several meteorites that careen into the open mouth of the beast. 

and following those are a HYPER BEAM from aeris, and a taste of its own medicine as a DARK PULSE from rook. wind whips around freya and she swipes a hand over her face. blood, sweat, and tears mar her palms. 

we're going to end this now.

[break]

Dunsparce felt fear, then felt pressure, as the city began to collapse around him.[break][break]

Mid-spin, the pokemon is only stopped when something pins him to the ground. A weight, a force, had crashed against him so suddenly that there was no time to comprehend the pain, or the reality of the situation that he was in. Gump can only register that he was no longer moving, and that he could not feel his back or the flutter of his wings.[break][break]

He had lived in caves before. He knew what to do when everything was collapsing around him. On some level, he was able to register that this was worse than anything he had ever experienced, but the orders of Bailey Cooper still ring true in his mind. Even if he was a simple pokemon, he still knew that he had to come back—and that this could not keep him from returning to her.[break][break]

Dunsparce used Ancient Power! Serene Grace has activated! It has doubled the chance for an additional effect![break]
hjmGdOqL
[break]


With ancient power activated, the hunk of rubble was heaved from his body—and with that release, there came pain, as Gump felt his wounds breathe and burn. Without pressure, everything oozed, and the soreness seemed to suggest that he was lucky to have not been fatally crushed. With little energy, the Dunsparce closed his eyes and focused on breathing, focused on closing what had been done to him as his body was enveloped with a soft, glowing aura.[break][break]

Dunsparce used Roost![break]
[break]


It was a bandage to his wounds. Even if a portion of his pain was alleviated, and the blood stopped its ooze, there was still a sense of weakness as Dunsparce vibrated his tail, burrowing it into the ground as he descended under the surface, digging backward. He had to find his trainer. He was too injured to continue on his own.[break][break]

Dunsparce used Dig![break]
[break]



[break]

Bailey Cooper felt fear, and then felt weightlessness, as she was propelled away from the Guzzlord moments after the Zebstrika was devoured; jaws snapping as blood sprayed.[break][break]

The sergeant does not have the chance to wince, but she does have the chance to curse at the realization that had just lost a pokemon...but then there was light. Bright and blinding. It interrupted the suction. She had to shield her eyes from the radiance as the mysterious pokemon was conjured into existence. She cannot see or as gravity dragged her downward.[break][break]

But she had to do something.[break][break]

The sergeant grabbed a capsule from her belt, deploying the only pokemon that could stop her fall. Araquanid. Bailey Cooper latched her good arm around the insect as it materialized from the red light. "Get us out of here!" And that was all that needed to be said as the bug type pokemon held her with two of its limbs while its webbing was deployed.[break][break]

Araquanid used Spider Web![break]
[break]


The shot landed on the closest object—a building that had been cleaved in half, but still standing. The moment it connected, their bodies swayed at a downward arch. The bug-type pokemon took the brunt of the landing, keeping Bailey suspended from the ground as they skidded across the street. Fire and lights scorched the sky, and as Bailey felt her feet touch ground, the Guzzlord was already engulfed in flames.[break][break]

"Good. Fuckhead," and that was when she felt something sticky latched to her limp arm. Araquanid had turned its attention to her injury, weaving the webbing around her elbow and forearm. It may have restricted movement as it gradually hardened, but it was better than letting the limb sway without control. "Thanks, bud."[break][break]

Araquanid used Spider Web![break]
[break]


And that was when a voice graced her mind, the same voice she had heard earlier from that strange, ethereal pokemon. Was that the source of the fire? How the hell did that scientist get his hands on a pokemon like that?[break][break]

Her good hand fetched two pokeballs from her waist as the battle turned. Attacks were being fired from every direction, aimed for the bulking monstrosity as it burned; two red shapes appeared by her sides as her Steelix and Sylveon materialized. "Aight. Fuck 'em up. We're doing this for Pailard."[break][break]

Steelix used Gyro Ball![break]
[break]


Sylveon used Moonbeam![break]
[break]


And as those two attacks were executed, she withdrew Araquanid. The bug-type was best kept from the fray, considering its inexperience and mobility...even in the heat of the moment, the Sergeant is able to draw in a breath and get her mind back into the moment. Her eyes scanned the battlefield, discerning the various attacks and from which direction they were thrown.[break][break]

She had never been a strategist, but at least she had experience when it came to not dying.[break][break]

There was a rumble beneath her feet--concrete caving in as a yellow tip revealed itself. A drill. She knew what was on the other end. "Gump?"And one brief glance was all it took to confirm her worst fears. The injuries were extensive, but he... had dug all the way back to her, using his senses to try and pinpoint where she was in this madness.[break][break]

"Rest," and she withdrew him back to his capsule, knowing that this had to end.[break][break]


[break]

tldr: dunsparce is pinned beneath the rubble and uses ancient power to lift the largest chunk of debris from his body. Upon lifting the rock, he notices the damage and the excessive bleeding that comes from removing the rock—uses roost to stabilize his injuries, but a visit to a pokemon center will be a necessity to fully treat his wounds. he burrows, using dig to try and find his way back to bailey while underground.[break][break]

bailey cooper manages to escape from her fall by summoning her araquanid and using spider web to web-sling to the closest remaining building, allowing them to swing down to the street without suffering any additional damages. araquanid uses spider web again, focusing on his trainer's broken arm to create a hard, temporary cast to keep her from worsening her injury. she summons steelix and sylveon as victini's voice plays in her head—araquanid is withdrawn.[break][break]

orders steelix to use gyro ball and sylveon to use moonblast; at this time, dunsparce manages to find bailey and emerges from the tunnel that he created. after seeing his injuries, bailey returns dunsparce back to his pokeball.

Held aloft by psychic Lucas felt a sense of liberation from the situation at hand. There was nothing more to do than place his trust within the newly manifested pokemon. The air around it rippled as heat waves wash over it and lash out at the mega beast.

Lucas' body is propelled through the air by Victini, landing safely by a crumbled family business. Moments later an all too familiar voice rang through his head.

"Hope is not lost. We can win this! Victor is in sight. Do not give up. We will triumph."

His heart raced as he released an aerodactyl and Cofagrigus.

"Osiris shadow ball, Shu Hyper Beam!"

Lucas barked the commands. His attention is entirely directed towards bringing down the beast.

tldr


  • Floated in the air as Victini materialized
  • Propelled back towards "safety" aka ground
  • Cofagrigus used Shadowball and Aerodactyl used hyperbeam

the drampa buckles - she can feel the strain of his muscles as they descend. the landing is rough but persephone knows he tried to keep her mounted. he tried to keep her safe. even with his blood-mattered fur, even with scales torn away, the drampa turns first to look to her with his milky, blank eyes.

she can't ask him to withstand any more for her so the dragon is returned to his capsule.

at least the voltorb was spared as seemingly the drampa soaked up most of the damage. only some thin scratches on its red and white surface indicated indicate that it had been nicked by flying debris.

a brilliant flash of light from near the beast and the others envelops them, and is quickly followed by an unseen voice that reverberates around her as though magnified by an unknown power. persephone doesn't stop to question the source. she knows its mysticism to be true, she knows its warmth to be kind.

she knows this is their chance.

there's no fear, only adrenaline, as she begins to move toward the howl of the alien beast, releasing lucario to run at her side.

"this is it," she says aloud, her tone unnaturally level even as she struggles to breathe through the dust. "perhaps it's the end of the world. i want to face it together."

the lucario's reply grates in the back of her skull not unlike the sound of groaning steel beams, and totally different from the voice of whatever pokemon spoke to them all earlier.

i'm with you.

the voltorb floats along at her shoulder, covering itself with a mirror coat that is adopted by the lucario through copy cat. the two pokemon guide their way through the ruins with alternating aura spheres and swift until they reach an outcropping that will serve as a vantage point.

she reaches one hand to touch the lucario's shoulder and another to the voltorb's shell. no fear, only focused determination. leaping several yards ahead, the lucario performs a swords dance and unleashes a volley of aura spheres, aimed directly for the beast's head.

the voltorb follows suit was a burst of swift. it floats laconically overhead and glances down at its trainer once. when it comes down to it, it has one purpose and one fate. it has accepted it. now it's just a waiting game.

» lands and returns drampa
» hears victini and runs toward guzzlord and co with lucario and voltorb
» doesn't get to see her zebstrika die lmao
» voltorb uses mirror coat, lucario copy cats it to himself
» voltorb and lucario attack with swift and aura sphere, respectively. both aim for the head
» voltorb contemplates its mortality

MOSSDEEP MAYHEM: HARDCORE



[attr="class","ipad"]
MOD RAID POST!
[break][break]
through the power of team work and friendship, 's pokemon are able to bring forth a TWISTER that grows into an increasingly vicious cyclone that tears down and picks up anything in its path. that includes the debris and concrete, threatening to tear down anything in its way.
[break][break][break]

the others follow victini's suit, leading the charge with the rest finding a vindictive confidence behind the stammering giant. it hits first and the guzzlord is sent backward dizzying, screaming with a shrill, pained scream as it starts to glow with a bright red aura. the victini doubles down and takes off to the sky, circling for another go around, behind the various attacks thrown out. [break][break][break]

the beams hit first. HYPER BEAM, DARK PULSE, MOONBLAST. they're near instantaneous and pierce through 's TWISTER, continuing on and landing with a solid thud against the pokemon's protective cover. they're not the only ones who know how to PROTECT. both chomping appendages radiate their own barriers, used as shields to PROTECT the pokemon's main body.
[break][break][break]

the SHADOW BALL, GYRO BALL, AURA SPHERE, and SWIFT come soon after. they managed to finally place several cracks on the barriers and it shatters. the pokemon seems as durable as it is destructive but even it cracks under their combined efforts. the flames too die down, blown away by the approaching TWISTER. it is the DRACO METEOR and its splintering shrapnel that deliver the final blow. the bombardment staggers the pokemon further back.
[break][break][break]

however, the TWISTER is unpredictable. the ferocious gale doesn't discern between friend and foe. as the DRACO METEORS split off they lose mass and become subjected to the winds. once they pass into the TWISTER itself, several of the offshoots get caught in the cyclone and thrown out in different directions. pieces end up en-route to crash into , , and . [break][break][break]

the victini charges again with a frontal assault. there's still a very visible, brown burn mark on the pokemon's head. however, the time the pokemon's prepared and intends to re-compensate it's assailants with a deadly PAYBACK. each arm FLAILS in place before straightening out and aiming straight toward everyone's general direction. the glow of a miniature sun radiates from behind the guzzlord's guttural void. [break][break][break]

the pokemon is a representative of a blackhole, an endless void that never ends and swallows everything whole. from within is an inescapable prison. death too, is inescapable. a big bang means the start and end of creation. everyone is given 30 seconds to stare in amazement, to be blinded by the very essence of life before the raw energy detonates. [break][break][break]

HYPER BEAM. [break][break][break]


a full powered, altered HYPER BEAM encompasses the entirety of the pokemon's huge maw. anything the light touches disintegrates. faced it and lived by the skin of her teeth. what she witnessed afterwards was absolute annihilation. anything caught in its path ceased to exist. this is the end.
[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

. . . . . . @zerker . @triss . [break][break][break]

rest in peace.[break][break][break]


[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • releases his pidgeot, which catches him and sets him down safely. they land on the roof and he lets out his starmie, talonflame, and eevee. his eevee uses HELPING HAND on all of his pokemon and they use their various moves to create a giant TWISTER. the large tornado picks up speeds and heads straight for the ultra beast.
  • with her dragonair's help, manages to recall her injured pokemon. she latches onto the still healthy dragonair and land roughly on the ground. she resummons her salamence to inspect his injuries. her krookodile joins back up with them too. together, the trio fire off their respective attacks: DRACO METEOR, HYPER BEAM, and DARK PULSE.
  • 's dunsparce manages to dislodge the piece of concrete above it by using ANCIENT POWER. after a moment's respite of ROOST, the pokemon DIGS its way back to its trainer.
  • brings out her araquanid and uses it as a grappling hook to slow their descent. they land with a skid and the pokemon creates a make shift cast for her with SPIDER WEB. with the mysterious pokemon distracted, she takes the opportunity to bring out her steelix and sylveon and orders them to attack with GYRO BALL and MOON BEAM.
  • recalls her araquanid and dunsparce.
  • lands safely in a broken building. he brings out his aerodactyl and cofagrigus. they use SHADOW BALL and HYPER BEAM respectively.
  • replaces her drampa with her lucario. with her voltorb, the trio approach with MIRROR COAT, unleashing several blasts of AURA SPHERE and SWIFT. they navigate to another point where they can visibly see their enemy. the continue to try and pelt the beast with attacks.

VICTINI INTERVENES




[attr="class","aname2"]

A LEGENDARY ENTERS THE FRAY






[attr="class","ipad"]

TIME TO TURN THE TIDES?!
[break][break][break]

STORED POWER becomes HIDDEN POWER. every ounce of mysticism comes into play. it grasps toward the natural order to bring out as much potential as it can despite being newly formed. the grace given to it by its name becomes its own matching star. light entangles into light and the victini tries to choke out the ultra beast's destruction. [break][break][break]

LIGHT SCREEN. [break][break][break]

"WE." [break][break][break]

SAFEGUARD. [break][break][break]

"WON'T." [break][break][break]

PROTECT. [break][break][break]

"LOSE." [break][break][break]


survive. that's the only thought that the victini can digest. it had been right about the pokemon monster they face. this thing isn't natural. neither is the power. it spells of disaster and only now does victini realize the depth of the pokemon's might. [break][break][break]

the HYPER BEAM engulfs it and the barrier holds. everyone behind victini is safe. struggling until the bitter end, the HYPER BEAM implodes with an impact that sounds off with a cataclysmic boom. those within the city limits are left blinded and deafened. discord becomes irrelevant as they can neither hear nor see. [break][break][break]

when their senses return they can catch sight of victini slumping, barely ENDURING the attack as it plummets to the floor.[break][break][break]

 [break][break][break]

the mysterious pokemon seems fatigued but shakes it off with some effort. it screams again, elevated, pitch raised to match the harshest of winter howls. [break][break][break]

exhaustion. [break][break][break]

"we can't lose." [break][break][break]

trauma. [break][break][break]

"not like this." [break][break][break]

suffering. [break][break][break]

"we have to win — to protect the world." [break][break][break]

these are the emotion that compass all that dare exist within mossdeep. even the enemy feels it. but there's a distinct difference. victini ignites once more, struggling, but optimistic. it hopes, not because it believe they have a reasonable chance of winning but because it has to. without hope there is only despair and victini will not allow them to succumb to misery. [break][break][break]

"give me your hope, your dreams, your desire to protect those you love." the mental thoughts wheeze out, pained. "please! i need your strength!" [break][break][break]

the other pokemon shares no sentiment. all that propels it is the returning hunger that composes its very being. it must eat and there is nothing tastier then the odd energy radiating from the tiny little morsel before it. [break][break][break]

unrelenting, it charges, acting as an unstoppable STEAMROLLER, eager to scoop up its well earned prize. [break][break][break]





[break]



SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]

  • victini uses LIGHT SCREEN, SAFEGUARD, and PROTECT to shield everyone.
  • the HYPER BEAM hits and causes a huge explosion. it blinds and deafens everyone in the area.
  • victini falls, barely able to ENDURE the attack.

[attr="class","freypost"]their attacks are relentless. she does not know where the rest of the league are. here, she stands alone, with lyune bleeding heavily from his side, one of her dragonair out of commission. moxie is safe in her ball, but the casualties ring heavy. 

she is not the only one who has suffered loss; others have lost partners entirely. 

when lyune's draco meteor goes astray, she doesn't blink an eye. she watches what remains crash into the beast. plumes of smoke rise from the explosive impacts, and still it appears unscathed. still, it cannot be stopped. 

she goes weak in the knees, barely standing upright even as aeris dips her head under her arm to hold her steady. lyune totters behind her, blood loss starting to make him woozy. 

and then there's light. its entire form blocks out the skyline; it's impossibly large, and as its maw extends, she closes her eyes. aeris shudders and freya puts a hand over her mouth, stopping the dragon from attempting another hyper beam. 

in the end, it isn't rocket that will finish us after all.

the light is blinding. wind rips at her clothes and she wonders, briefly, if dying had truly been so painless. but then her ears are ringing and she opens her eyes and she's still surrounded by ruin, still staring at the relentless beast. 

give me your hope, your dreams--

how, how, could they have hope? all they're doing is delaying the inevitable. 

your desire to protect those you love. 

she grits her teeth. emma. she thinks of her garden, the tender life she's breathed into her plants, hoping, praying that she can do the same for her

lyune, aeris--neither of them can hope to stop this thing. all she can do is put her hope, her faith in this pokemon. she drops another ball at her feet and orion emerges. he shakes out his scales, tail lashing, and stares wide-eyed at the foe before them.

freya reaches up, touches his snout, and says, "tell it we're here, tell it that we're listening, that we're hoping." 

the kommo-o sucks in a breath and releases a noble roar. lyune raises his head, maw parting as he roars alongside the dragon. rook and aeris join in as the beast rushes forward. 

freya looks forward now, hands trembling, but she puts her faith in this pokemon and she thinks of emma, of her smile and her laughter, and of all wrongs she's yet to make right. i will. by the gods, i will come back to you. i promised.

the light. the light. the light.

it burns her retina, passes through until trainer and pokemon are lost in a sea of white.

persephone braces for agony, for unimaginable power to tear her apart at the seams. the howl of a charging HYPER BEAM swells, deafening and blinding her, but the pain never comes. death eludes her for now.

the only thing she can hear are the words of the mythical pokemon echoing once more. how much would she give to save them all? how much would she sacrifice? more than this.

the voltorb can hear its trainer's cry; its SOUNDPROOF ability allows it to keep its senses.

"go," persephone implores the spherical pokemon, as her knees give way and her ears ring with the sound of a thousand overlaid bells. "please believe that i'm sorry."

the voltorb knows. casting a single long glance toward where she stands, it bids a farewell that she will never hear.

the pokemon shoots forward like a bullet leaving a gun's barrel, hurtling directly toward the beast and its eternally gaping mouth. the voltorb pauses at the cusp of entering its mouth and SELF-DESTRUCTS. its steel bends, its screws come loose. the explosion's shrapnel and fire are staggering.

at persephone's side, lucario COPYCATS the guzzlord's own HYPER BEAM, aiming squarely for the creature's charred head through the smoke left in the wake of voltorb's self-destruct.

It was coming; the sky rained with the shattered fragments of Draco Meteor that the Twister had displaced.[break][break]

The Sergeant does not retreat, does not flinch, as the fragments fly in her direction. Light Screen was raised; its rainbow light casting over her party as they prepare for the worst. “Hit and run tactics will be our best bet. First sign of trouble, we relocate. I'm thinking plan Wack-a-Mole,” a classic.[break][break]

Sylveon used Light Screen![break]
aB80yw1U
[break]

Bailey Cooper had watched the cataclysm of attacks, wondering if this would be their moment of triumph. Would the tide turn? Would they finally have a chance to subdue this beast before another hyper beam? The Sergeant does not feel hopeful—does not feel swayed—despite the damage done by the small, orange glowing marvel that had unleashed such a powerful attack.[break][break]

It took more than this to take out Regirock—and this unknown pokemon seemed far stronger. It was why her stomach turned. It was why she cast her gaze to the tunnel burrowed to her left, where her Dunsparce had emerged moments earlier.[break][break]

If there was another hyper beam, she could withdraw her pokemon and seek shelter; that thought registered just as the beast opened its maw, charging the attack that would spell their demise. It made her heart skip its beat as time slowed to a dangerous crawl.[break][break]

When she heard the familiar sound, that hum of destruction, Steelix and Sylveon were immediately brought back to the safety of their capsules. There were no words exchanged as their trainer sought shelter; it was done without a moment of hesitation.[break][break]

It was fear.[break][break]

She ran, tearing across the ground as if that tunnel was her bomb shelter. There was no time to comprehend the scale of the attack—no time to contemplate the destruction. Bailey Cooper could only focus on the urge to stay alive. The opening was wide enough for the Dunsparce; thus, it was large enough for her as she threw her body into its opening. Flat against the ground, she has to crawl with her good arm while the other was limp by her side.[break][break]

That quick escape had allowed her to flee from the falling debris from the Draco Meteor. Filtered by the Light Screen, the attack splaying across the ground where she had stood; the crackling of purple infused energy was droned out by the screech of the hyper beam.[break][break]

Bailey Cooper kept her head pressed to the ground after throwing herself into the opening; the one hand clasped to her ear doing little to cut the howl that shattered her hearing. She could only detect a ringing. She could only detect a wet, goo-like sensation from her ears, spelling their rupture.[break][break]

“Fuck,” but she had avoided being blinded by the overwhelming light.[break][break]

It took the Sergeant time to crawl out from the hole, just in time to see that the city was still standing; the falling shell of protection visible to her eyes as she sough its source. Her eyes focused on the orange marvel; crumpled to the ground in exhaustion.[break][break]

Its words still rang in her mind, despite her inability to hear the rest of her surroundings... and the dark monstrosity was still standing, ready to make its approach.[break][break]

Eating made it stronger... she remembered the red sheen after it had made a meal of the fleeing citizens of Mossdeep. “FUCK!” Another burst of energy as her legs pushed her off from the ground—the crumpled pokemon that had held back its blast must have looked like a tasty morsel.[break][break]

"please! i need your strength!"[break][break]

“I'll fucking show you strength!” Was what she roared, unable to hear her own voice despite the strain that pulled at her vocal cords; her only hand throwing a capsule back into the depths of the hole, releasing her Steelix into the tight, confined space. “Remember my orders! Wack-A-Mole! WACK A FUCKING MOLE!” And there was not enough time for her to turn and see if her Steelix understood.[break][break]

Thankfully, he did—he was familiar with this tactic.[break][break]

Steelix used Dig![break]
[break]

The Steel-Type descended only a foot beneath the blacktop, burrowing as he followed Bailey Cooper's frantic pace. “Wait for the safe word!” Another scream as her voice filled the silence—it had to be shouted for her pokemon to hear while underground.[break][break]

Burrowing was made easier by the Dunsparce's pre-existing tunnels—he widened them as he ripped through.[break][break]

And she ran to the collapsed pokemon, keeping her gaze over her shoulder as she watched Guzzlord's approach. “You wanna win this shit or not?!” And she'd use her only good arm to try and scoop Victini from the ground, under her armpit as if the legendary were a pile of laundry. “Get some pep in your step! Where's your dumbass trainer?! We're all fighting this thing! This ain't time for a nap! Get your shit together, hot shot! You're our only hope!”[break][break]

Steamroller. It was coming.[break][break]

If jumping over the Guzzlord had failed, then why not go under?[break][break]

“PECHA MARMALADE!”[break][break]

And that was when Steelix broke the ground underneath her feet—his teeth roughly snagging onto her legs and ripping Bailey Cooper underground. She does not care if the skin would break beneath the pressure—all that mattered was speed as he ripped her down into the opening he had made.[break][break]

If her other arm wasn't broken, she would have flipped off the Ultra Beast—she settled for a crazed, death-defying smirk before a horizon of concrete and mortar obscured her vision.[break][break]

Draco meteors and crumbling buildings fell from the sky as the battle raged.

The head scientist stood strong despite the incoming threat. Aegislash materialized, a near immediate King's Shield is thrown up. Blue light is cast upon the ground as the stray light of Guzzlord's hyper beam passed through it.

OHfljlrI


Red light engulfs Lucas in response to Victini's plea. Claydol and a genetically altered glalie materialize in the air. The temperature plummeted in response to the ice type's appearance as chill oozed from its mouth.

No matter the difficulties.

"No matter what, protect Victini!" He barked, his voice just loud enough to be heard by the aerodactyl floating overhead. Aegislash surged forward in the direction of the legendary, while Glalie, Aerodactyl, Cofagrigus, and Claydol began to channel their attacks from afar.

No matter what obstacles.

The temperature fell further as Glalie released freeze dry from its gaping maw. Lucas' breath now visible despite winter's passing. Far behind freeze dry hyper beam cut cleanly through the air, aimed at the mega beast's tough hide.



You will never give up.

Blue transparent walls blink into existence in the area of Victini, growing as fast as the coffin pokemon was able. The paint adorning its sarcophagus cracked and fell away as it overexerted itself. Everything it had went into the trick room. At the corner of the room Aegislash passed as it rushed towards Victini, King's Shield at the ready. At the same time small cracks began to form in the ground in the surrounding area behind Victini. Yellow light flashed from within its depths.



"We do not know what it means to lose."


tldr;
  • Aegislash released and used King's Shield and attempts to block stray draco meteor / debris
  • Released mega glalie and claydol
  • Aerodactyl fires a delayed hyperbeam, mega-glalie used freeze dry, cofagrigus uses trick room in the area of Victini and guzzlord, Aegislash attempts to reach Victini and use King's Shield, and Claydol used Earth Power.

returning eevee and starmie. arian, shouting, "we're moving!" to both talonflame and pidgeot. he'd skydive off of the building from the sight of broken rocks hurdling their way.

falling head first, pidgeot would swoop in to catch his partner. talonflame followed behind. "take us high!" and that's where they went. pidgeot and talonflame hovered within the sky as they watched from above. before arian could do anything, a bright flash of forced the trio to cover themselves. "what a strong hyperbeam, and yet..." nothing. all hope was lost at this point.

arian took in the city's destruction. he watched from below as many struggled. thinking about it arian never really did understand himself nor as to why he did the things that he did. did he truly care for these people? did he truly wish to stop the abnormal battle before him? a complex thought, it wasn't until he expressed a slight smile. but that smile would come to be forcefully stopped once the VICTINI plagued their minds.

at first arian was ready to merely call it quits and just watch from the sidelines. but, somehow, the victini convinced him to help as much as he can. it'd be ashamed if he died too soon, he wouldn't be able to participate in anymore fun gambles. he'd never get to see the outcome within the battle between league and rocket. plus, if he died here, he wouldn't be able to truly say that he lived. he'd still yet to find the ultimate gamble after all.

"alright then..." placing a gentle hand atop of pidgeot's head, he'd follow along with the many who, too, used hyperbeam. "MIRROR MOVE, talonflame 'ME FIRST'!" arian ordered. talonflame and pidgeot would use HYPERBEAM in unison. targeting the large beast from within the skies.

called out: pidgeot, talonflame
- recalled starmie and eevee
- fell off of the building, pidgeot swooped in for the save.
- pidgeot and talonflame, with arian on pidgeot's back, flew high into the sky.
- from above arian thought about leaving or just sayin' fuck it and dying, but then thought no. that'd suck for reasons.
- had pidgeot and talonflame use me first and mirror move to copy hyperbeam and, like the others, shoot out a white beam of light. woo, let's kill it.

MOSSDEEP MAYHEM: HARDCORE



[attr="class","ipad"]
MOD RAID POST!
[break][break]
the voltorb is the shot heard around the world; the first to stand against the ultra beast as it continues on its absolute rampage toward devouring the legendary pokemon. instead, it offers itself as a martyr, staring into the void as it implodes with SELF-DESTRUCT. its very core becomes unstable as a burst of electricity sets it off one last timer. for a pokemon known for detonating, there's something unsettling about knowing that this'll be the last time. [break][break][break]

regret. [break][break][break]

spite. [break][break][break]

the voltorb doesn't blame its trainer. it knows better, having seen the terror this odd pokemon's brought. it cries, ionized tears sliding across its smooth surface as it unravels entirely. it does this because it must be done. anything to save their world. [break][break][break]

BOOM. [break][break][break]

the voltorb transcends, entering a form of pure energy. the volume and release of its potential energy generates heat strong enough to combust, tearing into the pokemon's mouth from inside. anything to tear into the pokemon, anything to stop it, anything to kill the beast that's already caused them to lose so much. [break][break][break]

but hope does not promise results. reality is often disappointing. the attack is no more then a pop rock crackling inside the mysterious pokemon's mouth. it stings, it hurts, but the flesh does not crack. the pokemon burps, flames snorting out from the spicy appetizer. what's left of the voltorb's remains become thorns embedded into the pokemon's mouth. it may hurt but it doesn't stop it. [break][break][break]

it looks like nothing will. [break][break][break]

's lucario retaliates, avenging its fallen comrade with a precise HYPER BEAM to the pokemon's unprotected head. the COPYCAT cannot hope to capture the gravity of the ultra beast's intensity. but it gets the job done, spearing into the pokemon's bruised head, pushing the small outcrop of flesh back as the main body continues to charge forward. [break][break][break][break]

it doesn't stop. [break][break][break]

not even when has both his bird pokemon hit the pokemon from above with a pair of HYPER BEAMS. the attack land, searing the pokemon's hide but not preventing it from charging at an increasing speed. [break][break][break]

has his full pokemon team out and is pulling all the stops to slow down, if not outright stop, the approaching ultra beast. his cofargrigus sets up a multi-layered TRICK ROOM. translucent psychic walls construct a wide perimeter, tampering with the laws of physics and space-time. the ultra beast's incredible speed will also be its downfall! paint chips and start to flake off as the ghost pokemon's coffin starts to perspire from the exertion. [break][break][break]

his aerodactyl lands a HYPER BEAM, making four that home in among the pokemon's top side. his claydol's EARTH POWER strikes from below, rupturing and scratching against the pokemon's underbelly. neither attack adds much to everyone's combined assault. [break][break][break]

it is the MEGA GLALIE that reacts the strongest to the ultra beast's presence. holding onto the little lingering power it has, the MEGA GLALIE transforms the atmosphere around them, brings an abrupt chill before firing off a FREEZE DRY. the attack lands on one of the pokemon's legs and coats it in solid ice. it takes another step forward and the ice shatters, freeing it but coloring it in a lighter shade of grey. the attack continues, reapplying the ice but it shatters with every step the pokemon takes. [break][break][break]

the ultra beast enters the vicinity and trespasses within the boundary of 's TRICK ROOM. and, for the slightest moment, it looks like it works. the ultra beast is unable to negate the space-time effects of the mystic perimeter—so it does what its always been doing, destroying everything in its way. that momentary pause is broken by the sound of glass cracking. the mass and speed of the pokemon become a steadying battering ram as it throws itself straight into the TRICK ROOM, breaking past each layer, unhindered. [break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

's mad dash would have gotten her to the victini with time to spare if she didn't have to enter 's TRICK ROOM to do so. even with her speed being inversed, as long as that also applies to the ultra beast, she still has a good amount of buffer space to escape. except, it doesn't. there goes her hope as each wall of TRICK ROOM fragments into shards of nothingness. [break][break][break]

the ultra beast is within grabbing distance now. 's aegislash, the last line of defense, holds strong with its KING'S SHIELD. the technique is known far and wide as being an impenetrable shield, a testament to how strong the royal bulwark is. and even that becomes paper against the ultra beast's BRUTAL SWING. one swipe of its appendage manages to uproot the pokemon, not quite breaking the shield, nor causing lethal damage, but FLINGING the lighter pokemon into a broken building several blocks away. [break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

but that split second is enough for operation: wack-a-mole to succeed. 's trusty steelix manages to nab her by the thigh, reeling her back into the ground. unfortunately, bailey is more akin to bait on a fishing line then anything else. the ultra beast won't let the serpent retreat that easily, tearing into the ground with both slithering appendages with a crushing CRUNCH. [break][break][break]

if only that TRICK ROOM hadn't delayed her for so long. [break][break][break]

with both of the ultra beast's claws sunken into the steelix's STURDY frame, it snaps the pokemon out from the underground tunnel, threatening to behead it as it pulls the pokemon apart. it continues to WRING OUT the large snake, occasionally slamming it against the ground repeatedly, denting and cracking each iron section. unable to resist, the steelix cries out in pain, releasing and victini straight into the guzzlord's open mouth. [break][break][break]



[break]

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS TAKEN:
[break][break]
  • lets out her kommo-o. they let victini know that they haven't given up with a resounding NOBLE ROAR.
  • bids farewell to her voltorb that charges straight at the STEAMROLLING ultra beast. it lunges into his mouth, EXPLODING. her lucario uses the distraction to COPYCAT the ultra beast's HYPER BEAM and nail it in the face.
  • returns his eevee and starmie before jumping off the building. his pidgeot catches him with his talonflame right behind him. the trio ascend, high into the skyline, pausing to watch the ultra beast's HYPER BEAM fail. after arian realizes that he's still alive, he has both his pokemon use HYPER BEAM.
  • brings out his aegislash which shields them from the stray DRACO METEORS with its KING'S SHIELD. luckily, his victini manages to PROTECT all of them from the ultra beast's HYPER BEAM. after the attack, he brings out his claydol and MEGA GLALIE. with a full roster, has his all of them attack except his cofargrigus that sets up a TRICK ROOM and his aegislash which tries to protect the legendary pokemon.
  • returns her steelix and slyveon, running for her life and jumping into the hole her dunsparce made earlier and therefore dodging the DRACO METEOR fragments. she then summons her steelix into one of the tunnels, commanding it to retreat into the ground.
  • in a spurt of crazy desperation, lunges for the victini, picking it up before calling for her steelix. the steel snake pokemon erupts from underneath, pulling her underground and away from the surface and hopefully guzzlord.
  • the guzzlord changes straight through the TRICK ROOM, breaking it. it manages to catch 's steelix and beats it against the ground, causing it to drop bailey and the victini right into its mouth.

VICTINI INTERVENES




[attr="class","aname2"]

A LEGENDARY ENTERS THE FRAY






[attr="class","ipad"]

TIME TO TURN THE TIDES?!
[break][break]

the victini is absolutely drained. it can move no further as approaches, the only person willing to put her life on the line to save the legendary pokemon. the sound of 's NOBLE ROAR lets the pokemon know that they haven't given up but even that doesn't spur the pokemon to move. it can't. [break][break][break]

not until releases his MEGA GLALIE. the peculiar energy coming off the pokemon is one long lost to time, hidden deep within the reserves of shoal cave, untouched. the victini gasps at a sudden idea, dubious, but unable to do anything else as its lugged around underneath 's arm. [break][break][break]

'they're not ready—but we have no choice!" [break][break][break]

the victini doesn't have time to spare as the guzzlord mercilessly beats 's steelix. with a pained groan, the steelix finally lets go of the duo, dropping them straight into the guzzlord's mouth. [break][break][break]

"i can't do this. i'm too weak." [break][break] [break]

victini's final hope, the last bitter flame of resistance is snuffed. the pokemon closes its eyes as it enters the pitch black expanse of the ultra beast's mouth. [break][break][break]

"i leave this to you, humans. i'm sorry." [break][break][break]

a burst of TELEKINESIS ejects from the pokemon's mouth, shooting her straight into the sky and on course to crash land somewhere else. just in time too as the mysterious pokemon closes its mouth, eager to chew on the tasty treat. [break][break][break]

but the mouth never closes, not completely. within the small gap in guzzlord's mouth is victini, struggling to hold apart the numerous teeth that line the the roof of the pokemon's mouth and tongue. numerous spikes tear into the smaller pokemon, causing it to bleed profusely. [break][break][break]

"your hope." [break][break][break]

CHOMP. [break][break][break]

"your dreams." [break][break][break]

MUNCH. [break][break][break]

"your love and ambition." [break][break][break]

the legendary pokemon screams. a high pitch, innocent voice radiates across mossdeep. victini is dying, being eaten alive as the guzzlord continues to try and chew its way into the pokemon's core. [break][break][break]

"your despair, your desperation, your anguish. I ACCEPT IT ALL!" [break][break][break]

ON NOM NOM NOM. [break][break][break]

the sound of victini's crying, its short, ragged sobs pouring from every incisions of guzzlord's barbed tongue, radiate through the minds of everyone. [break][break][break]

"I BELIEVE IN ALL OF YOU. THE REST IS UP TO YOU. WIN, NO MATTER THE COST!" [break][break][break]

much like the guzzlord's previous HYPER BEAM, victini starts to glow, super heating as it creates its own big bang. [break][break][break]

"VVVVVVVVVVV-CREAAAAAAATTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" [break][break][break]

a stream of raw energy gushes from the victini's body, ripping the guzzlord's mouth openn as it fires off into the sky. [break][break][break]

bonus roll winner!
[break][break]

unfortunately, is caught in the crossfire. as victini's V-CREATE catapults into the sky, it inadvertently hits the lilycove gym leader and his pidgeot, knocking the bird clean out of the sky as it carries upward, lighting him on fire as he burns. instantly knocked unconscious, is suffocated by the immeasurable pain, unharmed physically but mentally tortured by the heat of the attack. [break] [break] [break]

he's only carried so high before the blast continues beyond him, falling out of the beam and plummeting high above.
[break] [break][break]

the intensity of V-CREATE dissipates every cloud in the skyline, painting mossdeep in a warm, hot orange. it halts when it reaches the edge of the stratosphere, fracturing into minuscule grains of lights before exploding into a billion pieces, splintering off in every direction as the remains rain over hoenn. the most sizable pieces descend right back onto mossdeep, homing in on anyone still alive. [break][break][break]

[break][break][break]


that last burst of power leaves the victini unconscious, void of energy, void of life as the V-CREATE channels its life force into another form. with that, the ultra beast finally gets to swallow the empty shell, creating a vacuum of PRESSURE as the red aura manifest in a fierce flare. had been correct about her assumption but now they have to factor victini being absorbed. [break][break][break]

everybody's starry eyed

[attr="class","starrytext"]arian watched from above in shock of what'd just occurred. then, to his surprise, he was met with a strange spike on the side of his temple. a connection, once more, established: telepathy. pidgeot and talonflame hovered about the air as they awaited for their trainer's next orders. but before a command could be given, arian heard from victini's final words.

distracted by victini's repetition. it was too late to notice the incoming fire that would envelop both he and pidgeot. the fire engulfing their entire being. there was no physical harm, but mentally his mind believed their to be--it was literal hell. before a scream could erupt, consciousness was instantly lost.



everything went white.
it was quiet.
arian was nowhere, yet he was somewhere; his feet touched the something solid.

he had no idea where he stood. he had no idea where was that 'somewhere'. he was there, he existed. he was falling, standing, sitting, and laying. with a single blink, he found himself on a train. with a multitude of people. across from him there was a child, crying. arian stared with a blank expression. he stared at the child that cried and, then, turned away.

when he turned away, there was no one else around. he turned back to the child that no longer cried, but wore a simple smile. "that's how you do it. if you can do that, you win the game!" the child said, "now you try!" arian stared at the child. noticing how in his right eye he possessed a green pupil, but in his left a red pupil. "ah--mm, okay. how's this?"

"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.
"again!" the child said. "okay, how's this?" arian said.

arian brought the palm of his right hand to his forehead. breathing heavily, he was hot. why was he so hot? why was it hard to breathe? how long had he and the child been at this? "h-how..." the child intervened, "again!" arian stood up from his seat. angered, he'd place his hand around the child's throat. "stop asking me to smile! i smiled, i'm smiling! i won, you lose! this game is stupid! i won the bet. now give me my prize!" he began to tighten his grip around the child's throat. the child, once more, said, "again!" as if arian's hands weren't around his throat.

arian released the child by his throat. backing away, "this isn't fun anymore, this isn't fun!" he screamed. holding his head. "i wanna get off..." the child, then, continued with, "but...that was mama's favorite game. all you had to do was smile and you got the prize(s). you just had to give her a big smile and then you won the prize!" the child would pout, "you've become so mean that you forgot all about mama's game." arian's eyes widened. he stared at the child, repeating, "ma...ma?" he stared at the little boy.

that was when he noticed. he noticed that the little boy looked just like him.

"my name's arian! and since you lost the game, you don't get to hear any of my secrets!" secrets? "the secret game..." his favorite game with his late mother. "whenever dad was too busy to play with me and i had my temper tantrum, we'd play the secret game." the child would raise one finger, "there's only three rules! first: you give a big smile, the biggest! an honest, genuine, happy smile! two: you say what made you smile! three: you have to tell three secrets!" arian listened, a calm demeanor worn.


"okay." so he sat down. "i want to play again." arian looked toward his child self. "smile!" arian thought of what could make him smile so wide and big. the thought came and so he did, "what made you smile?" the child asked. "the thought of seeing mom again." that's right, he's dead (or so he believes). this train he was on, he'd look out the window only to see nothing but fog. "oh, i'm dead." turning to the child, it went dark for a moment. the child was now arian himself. an exact replica only except for the fact that he possessed a red orbs that stared into arian's green orbs, he'd ask, "there's no point in continuing the game then?"

copy!arian shook his head. "there's a purpose, you just needed a little push to help. you'd forgotten what it meant to have hope." he rose one finger, "to have dreams," he rose another. "and to have love and ambition." arian had then realized that what he'd listed wasn't just the three secrets, but something the VICTINI kept REPEATING.




upon realizing that, he'd come to be within a dark place again. no longer was there any white light. for so long he despaired within desperate anguish, that he masked it within a form where he desired to watch others lose something important to them. just like how he lost his mother and father at a young age. it all made sense. as arian believed he was dying, he wanted to AT LEAST reveal his THREE SECRETS to someone that was listening (VICTINI).

as arian fell from the sky. he'd tried his best to speak, accepting his fate. but if he were going to die, he was going to get out his three secrets. starting with the first"my hope...is to see mama." a weak smile, he'd say, "i'm happy."

"my dream...to take part in the greatest gamble..." thinking about it, this was a pretty great one. he didn't expect to die here. life truly is the greatest gambler, "i'm happy."

"and my third secret, what love most..." he'd begin to shed a tear. "i really love this world. i longed for the chance to gamble with death, i wanted to see them again for the longest..." it really sucked to say this, but, "i don't wanna die." he wasn't happy, his aspiration was to live longer--to live forever, this sucked.

this really sucked.
