ATLANTEAN ARTIFACTS


"Oh? What is t— Hold that thought." Gwyar mumbled as his Empoleon scrambled back and away from the mass of angry muscles with a cool fish skull still attached to one of its steel fins.

Much like the blonde, Tiberius did not pay much attention to his prize, both keeping their eyes on the oversized Huntail, Gwyar feeling a sense of nostalgia swell in his chest.

"Dynamax?" He wondered outloud for about as long as it took the giant sea serpent to turn its attention onto their team. "Blimey! To action, Tiberius! Drill Peck!"



tl;dr:
-Empoleon used Drill peck!

[attr="class","illeana i"]with the wild pokemon no longer chasing after her trail of blood, the scientist is free to swim closer to and .

it lands her in a shrine, surrounded by pretty pearl designs. and while the outside had been grand, nothing quite compares to inside.

floor to ceiling pearls, intricate and laid out in a specific pattern. the longer she looks, the more things she finds.



getting her legs sliced up by pokemon was absolutely worth it for this, of that she is certain.

of course... as most things are, it is short lived.

the arrival of a giant huntail quickly sours whatever good mood she had managed to find.

and she tries to swim a little closer to pearly walls as her dhelmise covers her retreat with a quick anchor shot to hold the giant huntail in place for the surrounding explorers. while they focus on the huntail, she searches for something curious and new with an outstretched hand.

when the SMOKESCREEN parts enough, his heart sinks at the bloody sight of his pokemon in the process of being devoured.[break][break]

"my little froakie! fight back!"[break][break]

but it's too late. the water-type stills only to be expeditiously recalled.[break][break]

besides him is hit by another person but cian's focus shifts to the giant HUNTAIL, forced to react to it.[break][break]

"shit! what the shit!"[break][break]

another pokeball flashes open, summoning his politoed that can do no more than stare up in awe and fear.[break][break]

"sleep it!"[break][break]

politoed blinks as though to say "you fr?" but it does as told. it swims up and up before trying to latch onto one of huntail's eyes to HYNPOTIZE it.[break][break]

notes:[break]
- froakie chan...is RECALLED[break]
- politoed san swims up to try and latch onto one of HUNTAIL'S EYES and uses HYPNOSIS[break]

“Thanks buddy, you did good!” he praises Jupiter with a pat on the head as the vaporeon finishes up. Wren turns to thank the slowpoke too, but it has already floated away. It’s then that her notices the glimmer of something by his foot and he stoops to pick it up, pocketing it for later. “All good?” he asks his friend, but the question is soon drowned out by the other rookie’s surprised outburst.[break][break]

“What the heck?” he turns, almost in time with , to see the massive creature trying to disrupt the whole area. “That’s a good question!” Even as he’s speaking, Wren is scrabbling to swap out Jupiter, who is now winded both from being attacked, and from healing.[break][break]

Winston is probably one of the bolder psyducks that Wren’s encountered, so when he withdraws his weakened vaporeon, it’s the psyduck he sends out. He has nothing but confidence in the Pokémon, having had him for as long as he has as a partner alongside Juno. And Wren can tell he’s brewing up a real big headache from the way he shakes his little head once he’s out in the shadowy water. “Go help disorient it!”

Shooting away, Winston seems to charge up more psychic power as he goes, aiming a hefty ZEN HEADBUTT at the massive hunttail’s head, right above its eye where its temple should be.

[attr="class","hanatext"]Sure enough, it isn't impossible to get into the ruins. But destroying things isn't quite her forte, so she chooses to leave that to those more confident in their abilities instead. When Sonata swims about to indicate she wants her to follow, Lilith raises an eye but doesn't quite hesitate to follow. After all, the ocean is this Lumineon's home ground and she has keener instincts regarding the safety of this area.

It's a real shame that Lilith really doesn't have the swimming capabilities to match her will. Before she can even make a move, she catches sight of the giant serpent rushing right towards them, barely managing to twist her body such that it slams into her side instead. The pain bites quick and she's thrown off course, inhaling a sharp breath as she collides into .

What is up and what is down? Her bearings are distorted as she tries to move, her attention focused on her lone Lumineon as it speeds towards her.

"Trap that..." She wheezes out even though her voice is silenced by the chaos. But Sonata catches wisps of the command, uncertainty filling her eyes as she slowly turns towards the giant Huntail.

The water churns under the Lumineon's guidance, flowing and gathering into a singular spot as a Whirlpool forms. The current grow stronger, attempting to pull the Huntail back down into the depths, the choppy waters slicing and jabbing into whatever parts it can reach.

The giant huntail was incredible yet horrifying. It's life was proof of the many mysteries that laid hidden within our worlds. Sunny's swampert guided her to a safe distance - utilizing a bubble beam to divert the path of some pesky chasers. She then directs her full focus onto the threat

"Hydro pump!" Her swampert charges up a large volume of water and at it's peak shoots it towards the huntail at full power. Sunny was lucky to be surrounded by such capable people - she definitely wouldn't be able to handle this alone.

"We can do this!"

@unearthing mystery



TL;DR
- swampert uses hydropump on the huntail
- words of support.

Before reaction became a possibility, the entire weight of a human body came crashing into her. Even her Blastoise kept himself shocked by the development, unable to react much more than an apologetic smile.

"Forget it, focus on the HUNTAIL," she grumbled back to the pokemon, who nodded and immediately pushed it forced back onto the field, using a HYDRO CANON to attempt to push it away.

it's the first time he's heard the lullaby from the phione. kyle tilts his head, turning to the professor for some clue, before a call brings his attention.

perhaps it's trust, or perhaps he just cannot be bothered. perhaps kyle was just more interested in this side of his phione that he has never seen before. with @illie and beside them, kyle at least feels confident in staying put with the professor.

"do you think it's a call for something?" he asks professor remzi before turning to his pokemon. "keep up with the song. take heart, phione."

the phione continues the lullaby as it takes heart.

kyle takes a moment to look back at the chaos. people and their pokemon work together to fend off the danger. eyes watch intently, trying to gauge the movement of the huntail, ready to move league's head scientists and professor remzi out of the way should something come their way.

the shrine might not be its target, but safety wasn't guaranteed regardless.

tl;dr
  • takes a blue armband for team 1
  • phione continues to sing
  • phione uses take heart to boost stats
  • kyle on standby, ready to drag everyone out of danger if smth happens

The water crackles and churns with activity, someone out there cranking out Electric-type attacks with little care for friendly fire. Sy makes a mental note to give them a stern talking to should he ever find out who they are- they’re all in the ocean, for Pete’s sake!

Thankfully, is okay; Sy was more worried because there are a lot of important muscles and big blood supplies in the glutes. But he seemed to just shake it off.

Frost begins to form along the bottom of his flippers as someone conjures a blizzard underwater. Normally Hoenn’s seas would be far too warm to freeze, but at these depths, it’s just possible.

’s Pokemon spits up a smokescreen that colors the water acrid and dark. It billows up and falls back over the guy like a mourning shroud. Sy is quick to swim towards him, palm passing through the blood in the water, just as he hears Champagne’s terrified, pained, cry-- a beautiful, horrible sound, from a creature that should never feel such things.

He cries out for her, stuck between swimming back to help her and swimming up to help Cian. From somewhere nearby, a water pulse blasts through their attackers, protecting Sy and giving him enough time to form a coherent thought: he recalls Champagne and releases Columbina, his Primarina, catching onto her tail to swim swiftly through the water to help Cian--

--just in time to be hit in the chest by . It knocks the breath from his lungs and jars his teeth on his O2 mask, though he instinctively closes his arms around her as he waits for their impetus to stop.

The comms are bursting with news of the giant Huntail and Sy opens his eyes and sees the silhouette darkening the water, coming closer and closer. His stomach fills with dread and he may or may not hold on a little tighter to because he needs something to grab, like a child with his teddy bear.

Columbina is not scared. She does, unfortunately, have a moveset that’s almost completely useless against a fellow Water-type. Still, she swims a spiral around , then darts towards the Huntail, drawing on the power of the tides and their sister, the moon, to drive an ocean-charged moonblast right into its stupid, ugly face.

SAVE THE SHIP!

[break]





's KABUTOPS is first on the scene, blasting the HUNTAIL with METAL SOUND. The screech vibrates through the water and it roars in distaste. It's not a huge metal fan, it seems. [break][break]

[break][break]

’s WAILORD follows suit, diving down and opening its gigantic mouth to NOBLE ROAR at the HUNTAIL, adding to its confusion and blocking its immediate trajectory upwards. [break][break]

recalled his FROAKIE, saving it from being torn to shreds. In an effort to stop the HUNTAIL'S approach to their ship and crew, his POLITOED rushes to catch onto the face to use HYPNOSIS. However, the sleep spell doesn’t quite catch on, as the sea serpent shakes its head angrily while the poor frog clung to its snout. [break][break]



's DHELMISE follows, moving in position to safely shoot an ANCHOR SHOT that latches onto the serpent, pulling it down towards the trench. As she studies the wall, the twinkle of the mosaic stares back. She can make out people, surrounding an image of the shrine, guarding the eggs inside from a myriad of coiled and tentacled threats, dark and inky, approaching from the bottom of the wall. [break][break]

The battle outside ensues. Adding to the HUNTAIL'S irritation is 's SWAMPERT landing a blow near its gullet, choking out any other roars for the moment but not without it slamming it's head, Cian's POLITOED and all, into her partner. Both water types are knocked off, shooting back towards their trainers with force. [break][break]

[break][break]

and don’t miss this next opening. Gwyar’s EMPOLEON, despite intensive injuries, chases the giant with DRILL PECK, while Wren’s PSYDUCK paddles with determination, screaming a PSY YAI YAAAAI as their ZEN HEABUTT glows. Both pokemon slam into the brown bone of the HUNTAIL's head. [break][break]

While recovers after smacking into , her frantic LUMINEON manages to understand one order. Without further hesitation, it launches WHIRLPOOL at the base of the HUNTAIL's tail, beginning the process of dragging it downwards as water churned and swirled, latching onto the monster. ’s GYARADOS braces the trap, latching onto the tail with a BITE. calls out his own BRUXISH, and it dashes away to join the GYARADOS at the bottom of the fins and try to help drag it down further. [break][break]

[break][break]

's SWAMPERT and ’s BLASTOISE join forces using HYDRO PUMP and HYDRO CANON, smacking and redirecting a BITE the HUNTAIL was aiming to somehow hit itself! Fangs dig into its own flesh and scales before it lets out a horrible screech, angry and frustrated. [break][break]

and her DRAGONAIR are sent back in the water, slamming into the sand and rock. The HYPER BEAM cuts through the water, bubbling and sizzling with its power. It lands head on strike, the light hitting the monster's midsection before the beam promptly continues upward, shooting out of the water much of the panic of those on the surface. [break][break]

[break][break]

steers clear of the threat for now, her MILOTIC struggling to offer LIFE DEW to who helps by double checking the immediate trainers for casualties. Perhaps the threat of the moment getting to the pokemon. She at least manages to help and her partner brace for impact on their own watery recoil [break][break]

's PHIONE continued singing through a memory deep within their subconscious. It glows as it TAKES HEART, the light of its strange power bouncing off the walls and giving the room a warm glow. The inside of the shrine shines even more brightly, spilling out of the windows and openings. At just the right time, the HUNTAIL is blinded as something is shined in its eyes and it flails with its eyes shut. [break][break]

[break][break]

This gives @symon his opening to act. He saves his MILOTIC, and manages to stop and catch 's, though both end up slamming into sand. His PRIMARINA MOONBLAST's the HUNTAIL. A pale beam seems to through the water and perhaps feels like the last push for dropping the HUNTAIL back into the trench with all its opponent's beside him. The HUNTAIL, angry, confused, and successfully distracted by a mob of pokemon is unable to dodge or even retaliate to what comes next. [break][break]

[break][break]

unleashes his SWAMPERT who promptly MEGA EVOLVES while riding the GYARADOS up to the HUNTAIL. It keeps swimming, aiming higher and higher before dropping down on the serpent like a cannonball. Glowing with iridescent energy, the MEGA SWAMPERT drops the weakened HUNTAIL, and it slams back down onto the sand, half of its body in the trench near its cavernous home, half over the cliffs. It gurgles and chokes, rock and coral impaling its throat and gills. Eyes red with blood and fury. Its mighty tail lashes out, flailing as thick, dark trails of blood rise from its throat before finally it stops and goes limp. [break][break]

THE AFTERMATH



It is only when the beast is beaten back that the underwater teams realize the distortion is over. The storm has passed, and the intercoms are interspersed with the occasional “DO YOU COPY OVER?” messages. Finally, after can get a head count, he sends back that they are alive, with some casualties. All trainers are directed to pull in close in case anything else would appear. While Paxton swims around counting and recounting people and pokemon, Proff. Remzi has been beside himself with those inside the shrine. [break][break]

PROFF REMZI:


Aside from a bit of sand, most of the interior seems preserved.
[break][break]

Copious photos are taken, particularly with the PHIONE Hoenn’s champion had brought. After a particularly emotional lullaby, the pokemon seemed to have curled up to sleep, rocking itself slightly before going still completely. [break][break]

PROFF REMZI:


It’s just a hunch, but perhaps your partner experienced life here at one point. If not here, a similar shrine.
[break][break]

Trainers outside are careful, jumpy from the experience of it all. But ropes and hooks are carefully attached. Water-psychics are summoned en masse to assist with movement. [break][break]




[attr="class","expo"]

THE ZIGZAGOON SQUAD





Nearby, a familiar looking Zigzagoon rushes up amidst the commotion, hiding behind and whining, a BIG PEARL clutched in his paws. It seemed friendly, licking at her hands before paddling away, tail propelling it away. [break][break]

Another Zigzagoon appears almost out of nowhere. It floats near , idly chewing on its snorkel before bumping into her and dropping a BIG PEARL with a yelp. It darts away quickly before it can be stopped. [break][break]

Finally, as ’s BRUXISH returned, it came with a passenger. A Galarian Zigzagoon with sunglasses, holding its breath the colorful pokemon parks itself next to it’s trainer while the Zigzagoon drops its PRIZE before the BRUXISH ferries it away, coming back a few minutes later.

"holy!"[break][break]

with the massive HUNTAIL now taken care of, cian feels safe recalling his politoed before it slams back into him. the toad disappears into its pokeball, soon replaced by his quagsire.[break][break]

he turns to look at @symon, smiling as he waves.[break][break]

"thanks for the help, man!"[break][break]

then, looking back at , he gestures up.[break][break]

"i'm gonna swim up to go check out the huntail."[break][break]

A barrage of attacks fly towards the Huntail in all forms-- Columbina’s moonblast is just one that lands. The great beast’s death knell seems to shake the very molecules of the water, its massive body kicking up sand and silt. Symon is still hanging onto , and he twitches and winces a bit with each blow, like watching a sports play-by-play.

He waves a little weakly at , who thanks him for help he didn’t really give, before finally releasing Annalise from his grasp where he’s been squeezing her like a stressball.

“Sorry, sorry,” he says hastily, rubbing at the back of his neck. “I’m an anxious hugger.”

Columbina returns back to him with a victorious trill, nudging him with her nose towards the downed Huntail. Sy hesitates. He doesn’t want to leave the dig team unguarded, but Columbina bites him through his wetsuit. She wants to go bathe in the gory glory of her success! Sy relents, grabbing her fin and allowing her to pull him through the water to the massive sea-beast’s final resting place.

The chaos was over, and Levy's LIFE DEW had assuredly saved lives. While she was disappointed she couldn't take part in the final battle directly, keeping her comrades, and more importantly, herself, alive was an equally important task. With the mission complete and the colossal Huntail unconscious, she wasn't leaving without a permanent memory of it.

As Levy swam toward the fallen water-type with Shalin in tow, she snapped a photo of it when the serpent got close, the rider making sure to get some of her mount in the photo for scale. As people were coming and going retrieving tokens, she decided she needed one more memory. Her Milotic swam above the blue serpent, letting her dismount and sink above the middle of the massive, unconscious Water-type's tail.

The tail alone was massive; as she fell onto it, she realized just how outmatched she would have been if she tried to ride the giant Pokémon. One flick of its tail would have sent her flying. She clung to the unconscious water-type's tail with both legs and one of her arms, snapping a selfie of herself astride the anomalous creature. This was beyond that of an Alpha. This was a true one-off Pokémon. Still, it was fun to imagine the sheer adrenaline rush she could have gotten from it!

She, like many others on the security team, took a small trophy of her work with her before returning to the surface.

tl;dr:
- Security Team (team 2)
- Shalin snaps a photo of the unconscious Huntail from a distance.
- Shalin is in awe when she physically confirms the Huntail was indeed big enough to ride, hopping on it briefly and imagining how wild it could have been.
- Shalin claims several of the Huntail's scales before turning back to the ship for a debrief.

With collaborative effort the massive huntail is brought down before it can reach the surface. From a distance, Wren watches in mild awe as his psyduck not only lands his ZEN HEADBUTT, but is left unscathed in the effort. Right on target. As he swims back to his trainer in the wake of the huntail's collapse, both hands raise in celebration. "Good job, buddy! I think that was the strongest you've ever been!"[break][break]

Pleased psy yai yais follow the praise, and a chubby hand lifts for a high five that Wren readily obliges.[break][break]

"Your bruxish did great too!" he says, turning back toward before floating through the water toward him again. In the thick of it, they'd drifted slightly apart. "I'm gonna go check it out over there. Wanna come?" He points toward the huntail where others are congregating out of shared curiosity. Maybe he'll snap a pic to two while he's at it.

Thankfully amidst all the chaos, her Gyarados managed to contribute and get the job done—what was surprising though was seeing Dunamus suddenly come out of nowhere, Mega Evolved to boot, and literally yeet himself with as much dispassion as the Swampert was known for—at the gigantic Huntail.

“Geez, what a mess… anyway!” she crackled over the private hubby-only line and looking towards the drenched Chocobo her better half. “You okay back there?”

Thankfully, the immediate threat has been handled—she doesn’t miss the Zigzagoon that dropped a rather large pearl in her hands before it scurried away—and then she realized that the Huntail was a gigantic anomaly of a species…

“Gimme a bit, I want to check out this whopper.”

She then made headway towards the now… pretty-much decimated Huntail and took some pictures of the beast as well. How the fuck did something grow this large, anyway? This was beyond anything she’d ever seen…

And then wondered if she’d be able to sneak something away from it, too. No harm in trying, right?

• Zuzu makes a crack at the big-ass Huntail, smirks at the Mega Swampert
ooh shiny pearl why thank you little Ziggy
• she then takes out her phone camera and snaps as many pictures as she can of the anomalously-sized Huntail
