What—just what was that?!

He had to squint before making his Salamence go down for the landing, because—wait a second, wasn’t this—

“What…what are you doing out here?!” was all he could say, his mouth opening in shock at the sight. Unless he was mistaken, wasn’t this—

Quickly recalling his only source of flight to safety, he then swapped out for his Kommo-o, the loud scales clanging off each other as the other draconid took to the field in a defensive position.

“Ji-hoon?!”

Clearly, he was very surprised at the sight of the other, looking like something straight out of a horror movie.

Crystals licked over flesh. As made his approach the blond haired man had smartly called out a pokemon. Chu-e twitches in place, as if rooted to the spot. His eyes are somewhere else and vacant, yet they slide slowly over to take in the other approaching.

Chu-e, mentally, is somewhere else. Blood is still fresh on his clothes when he turns around to face the other.

Darting from behind him, quick, a Mawile. Titania doesn't wait, real mouth lifted and open to Intimidate. Rocks raise from the ground before being flung at the other man and his pokemon. The Ancient Power made Titiana glow briefly, feeling an excess power.

Why did it look like the other man had walked straight out of a nightmare—and then didn’t recognize him?

What in the name of everything unholy was happening?!

The rocks came flying, pelting at the Kommo-o who let out a roar of surprise as he was struck before flexing his arms together, showing that he wasn’t going to be Intimidated despite the other’s sudden offensive charge.

“Noble Roar!” he heard himself say before quickly clapping his fingers over his ears, still disoriented as the draconid took a deep breath and then bellowed loudly across the area, hopefully forcing the Mawile to cower and fall back as the attack cut through the space between them.

“What are—what’s that… what’s that eating at you?!” he shouted after the attack, hoping to snap the other man out of what he guessed (maybe?) was a catatonic state.



Kommo-o took the Ancient Power attack, before using Noble Roar! (-atk, -sp.atk on Mawile)

Chu-e does not answer. isn't wrong in his assessment that Chu-e is in a trance. Battles of the past flash behind his eyes; slowly, he takes one creeping step towards the other. Crystals drip from him like water, forming long whip-like claws that dance and shift as if alive at the end of his fingertips.

Titiana flinches back but doesn't falter. Shifting, her body glows as she Mega Evolves- body warped and changed and more powerful.
Her new Huge Power promises trouble for the other pokemon as she stares the dragon down. She squats down, still, then darts forward to try and close the distance.

Fairy type energy fills her as she tries to Play Rough with the other, not afraid to use her many mouths to crunch and chomp down on the dragon.

How—how was the Mawile not cowed by that?!

“Ilya, CLANGING SCALES, now!” he all but screamed, clapping his hands over his ears and bracing himself for impact once more because holy fucking shit the noise that this attack made was absolutely horrendous—

Little did he realize that the attack wasn’t going to work jack squat as the warped, changed, powered-up Mawile transformed and came in close to deal its devastating attack on the Kommo-o.

But he wasn’t going to give up. Absolutely not. This would be the disgrace supreme if he fell in battle.

“Ji-hoon! What are you doing?!” he felt himself shout once more, knowing that little was going to register because of the reverberation of the earlier attack was still shaking him to the core.

“Why can’t you hear me?!”

Damn it, what had happened?! Where was when you needed him?! Ah, shit…



Kommo-o took the Play Rough attack, before attempting to use Clanging Scales on the mega-evolved Mawile! (which is an exercise in futility because he clean FORGOT that Mawile is part-Fairy and is therefore UNAFFECTED by this)

The attack is a cacophony of noise. Yet, Titiana is unaffected. She finishes her Play Rough and dances around the dragon type as it moves.

In fact, she Mimics it. Her own metal body bangs against itself in a cruel mockery of the Clanging Scales. The noise level rises stronger, which drowns out 's words even more so than the daze Chu-e is in already.

Chu-e does pause, though. Not due to the attacks themselves, but the flashes he sees of Alex, that drips through the clutter in his mind- something wants him to hesitate. To stop. But why? But why?

He can't remember.

It was now, he realized—

That he’d colossally fucked up.

He remembered now, why the earlier Clanging Scales wasn’t affecting the Mawile—it sank into his panic-fueled brain that the Mawile was no longer a pure-Steel type, but part-Fairy, which meant that going up with a Kommo-o against this particular Pokémon was—

“Get BACK!” he shouted as he realized his mistake, but it was too late now for that, wasn’t it?

The draconid roared defiantly, refusing to do so as he tanked, literally took the mirrored attack back on himself—the Clanging Scales impacting with twice the force due to his typing.

There was… there was something else he could still do, though.

Turning back to Alexei, the draconid locked his gaze with his human companion, as if apologizing for what he was about to do next—

Before turning back to the Mawile and roaring defiantly, no he wasn’t going to take this shit lying down, he definitely wasn’t, as he then charged forward, despite the lopsided gait, with an attempt at a Sky Uppercut, a vain effort to send the Mawile flying—or at the very least away from the field, to buy enough time for him to get the fuck out of there.

“ILYA!” he heard himself screaming as the Kommo-o charged onward towards what awaited—those multiple mouths…



Kommo-o took the Mirrored Clanging Scales attack, before charging forward with a Sky Uppercut attempt on the mega-evolved Mawile!

The Sky Uppercut connects. It works as the Kommo-o had expected and wanted- almost. Titiana achieved some liftoff, which was good, but those multiple mouths chomped down on the dragon type before she could get too far. Dragging him further from his trainer with his own attack. Fangs sank deep and tore into flesh.

The end of Kommo-o did not come from Titiana, though.

Chu-e had been approaching. Slowly. On wobbly steps as if drunk and trying to stay upright.

Crystal tendrils wrap around the dragon type. Razor thin and even more deadly. Blood creases.

Then the pokemon falls to pieces.

Sliced as if by piano wire.

Blood drips from Chu-e's fingertips when the Crystals wink back into his skin, sitting on top and moving in unnerving patterns. He glances up from the bloodied mess of flesh and glances up at Alex.

One step is taken towards the other. Titiana looks ready to jump the Gym Leader.

But Chu-e groans and falls forward, only keeping his balance because of his Mawile grabbing onto him. He holds his head as if in great pain.

"... hn... G-go.... ugh..."

The full brace of impact does send the Mawile back, however—

What happened next was literally, something, straight out of those cheesy horror movies he’d watched with once upon a time, very long ago.

It was best that the Kommo-o didn’t see what was coming, because the way the parasitic crystals were creeping up on their scales was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the Mawile that was ripping past his scales, straight into flesh—

Before the shower of blood drenched him as he watched, with his own two eyes, Ilya the Kommo-o literally disintegrated into bits and pieces.

What was that?!

He caught sight of black crystal oozing, pooling on the other man’s skin before—

“Y-y-you…” he dropped off, blinking once, then twice, as his shaking fingers fumbled and pulled out his Kommo-o’s Pokéball, recalling… well, recalling the bits and pieces of what was left as he backed away a few steps.

He couldn’t find the words as he shrunk down the dead Kommo-o’s Pokéball and continued backing away, unable to fully comprehend what he’d seen before breaking out into a run, determined to put as much space between himself and the other man as possible.

But the fact of the matter was…

Ji-hoon… was potentially with Rocket?!

More importantly, what was that weird black crystal-like formation on the other man’s skin?!



Kommo-o dies defending Alex! Alex retreats!

@alexie flees and Chu-e recovers. He groans and straightens up, resolve shaken but not broken- yet. That would be up to , later.

For now, he goes back to wandering around the theater and finding people to battle.

His Mawile stays by his side.
