and into the water they go.[break][break]

cian is a good swimmer so he doesn't need the help of his pokemon to drag him down. he's able to swim down just fine, soon coming up to the trench with the bed of seaweed.[break][break]

but then they are attacked, and cian's unable to stop himself from swearing over the comms as he ducks under a PIN MISSILE.[break][break]

"what the fuck! sorry, that spooked me."[break][break]

his froakie's DOUBLE TEAM activates, creating multiple copies of the water-frog as it follows cian and starts tugging at algae.[break][break]

"orange team watch our backs please!"[break][break]

notes:[break]
- is on orange team[break]
- froakie using DOUBLE TEAM to help pull algae[break]
- cian pulls algae[break]

As she circled the vessel aboard Pharika, Shalin was discovering just how unusual the Dragalge was as a mount. It felt a lot like being atop a more narrow-bodied Kingdra. Her small size was what largely made this possible; a larger trainer wouldn't have been able to fit their entire body onto the poison-type swimmer. She wished she had brought a Lanturn to be able to help see as the two descended. The seas were starting to get a little cool for the rider's tastes.

The wonders beneath Hoenn's waves never ceased to amaze Shalin; she just wished she had a wider variety of aquatic Pokémon that were adept at diving so deep. The only ones she had that could do so were the three she brought with her. They would do nice work, particularly Pharika! She had a very special weapon; she was one of the few aquatic Pokémon capable of discharging a potent THUNDERBOLT while underwater. It would be a weapon she would have to very careful in discharging; with the very environment being a stellar conductor, the harm the electric bomb would inflict would go well beyond its blast radius.

With how close the perimeter was to the dig team, everyone on her side of the dig would be electrocuted. That was not acceptable. The way the water-types were closing in with PIN MISSILE and CRUNCH attacks, though, she might not have a choice. SHe had to make a move, and fast. "Defense Team, this is Shalin Nariya. Someone cover for me," she requested over defense team comms. "I'm going to lure the school away and take out as many of them as I can, over!"

The rider squeezed her Dragalge's sides, Pharika breaking ranks and using her imposing figure to lure as many of the Carvanha and Qwilfish toward her. Once she was satisfied with how many had gathered around her, it was time to unleash her payload.

"Pharika, use DRAGON PULSE!"

Shalin and her ride glowed with purple dragon energy, the wilds charging her in a desperate attempt to interrupt it. The girl braced herself as Pharika released the ADAPTABILITY-enhanced shockwave, strong vibration from its buildup and discharge rattling her body and leaving her short of breath.

tl;dr:

- Shalin radios the Security Team for someone to cover her spot, riding her Dragalge while she lures the schools away.
- Shalin draws as many of them as she can to herself before having her Dragalge use an ADAPTABILITY-enhanced DRAGON PULSE on them all, the rider a bit dazed afterward.
- Security Team - Orange
- Roll in case one is needed

It was go time, so to speak. With a quick peck on her husband’s cheek, she suited up, summoned her Greninja, who then saluted as well before the two dove into the water.

There… there was a reason why she chose the Greninja out of her three current companions—the fact that they knew some ranged moves would be a plus.

In no time flat here they were—and there were a lot of Pokémon hanging around the area.

“Oh, come on… but then again, they’re not taking to us nicely, aren’t they,” she said with a sigh as she looked toward her Greninja, who was swimming by her side.

With one gesture, the dual-type split off from where she was working, using Extrasensory to help shoo the peskier Pokémon away from where the other humans were working.

“And of course they had to be the territorial ones…” she continued with a tiny little sigh.

• and then the wild Pokémon start attacking them
• Greninja used Extrasensory to help shoo away the other wild Pokémon that get too close!

he's 's boyfriend now, which isn't that bad considering that he's used to her type of people: stubborn and headstrong.

a lot of familiar faces were there, which wasn't surprising for a small region as hoenn. the greets all of them with a smile, a wave and other sort of greeting, making sure to differentiate them as to not look like someone who forgot everyone's names.

the little party has to come to an end though, as they have a job to do.

kyle wasn't new to diving. bringing out his phione, which always was the go-to pokemon he had to accompany him during his trips to the deep, he confidently takes the front, just behind the leads in the form of and prof. remzi.

as an individual, his phione wasn't that special. kyle sees it as any other, knowing it doesn't have much to show. rarity was the only thing it has to show for, so it wasn't able to do much but charm the pokemon away from the algea.

the champion silently starts taking out the algea that clung on, his action swift and precise alongside the mindfulness to what he was prying it off of.

tl;dr
  • takes a blue armband for team 1
  • phione charms the underwater pokemon
  • kyle pries off algea

A lot of conversations were done. Eva answered her question. And Elinor was about to answer when Penelope joined the group, soon followed by Kyle.

In the meantime, Elinor noticed a smile and a wave from . She would respond to Josh with a smile and a wave of her own.

By the time she had returned her attention Ollie had joined the ever-growing group.

Luckily it didn’t seem like she had to spend a whole lot of time with small talk. They approached the location of their quarry expeditiously.

It wouldn’t take long before Elinor found herself beneath the water’s surface. She followed her designated group. Eyes peeled through diving goggles to peer upon their surroundings. Many wild Pokémon hid as they approached, this she noticed. But she had a feeling that not all would do so.

And she would be proven correct. A school of Carvanha seemed to descend upon them. Intent on consuming them or at least pushing the swimmers out of the area. But Elinor would have none of it. She summoned one of her Pokémon, a Hisuian-looking Samurott.

Elinor quickly pointed out their assailant and it rushed to work AQUA JET’ting towards them in hopes of scaring them away or knocking them out depending on how resolved they were on fighting.

"I'm fine, thanks," Locke reassured the stranger. "This stuff's all supposed to help us while we're down there, so I probably don't wanna drop it again, yeah."

[break][break]

The last of the supplies finally made their way onto his Wailord's back just as the call was made to start the dive. He glanced around to see where the rest of the blue team was congregating, before noticing the matching armband in 's possession.

[break][break]

"You wanna ride down?" he offered with pat on the whale's side. "Mer-Mer'll have to stop just outside of the trench so he doesn't damage the shrine or reef, but he can get us most of the way there."

[break][break]

Regardless of her decision, Locke boarded his Pokémon, who happily dragged him beneath the waves. The endless blue of the sea exploded into colors of all kinds as the group approached the reef, broken only by the darkness of the trench as it cut through the coral.

[break][break]

It was in that scar of the earth that Pip-Pip seemed to spot a sparkling something, as the penguin prematurely push himself off the Wailord and began swimming towards the trench at a fast pace.

[break][break]

A flustered "Wha-hey!" would be heard comms as Locke continued downward with Mer-Mer, attention divided between parking the whale and tracking their Piplup's path and shooting off after him once the Wailord was finally brought to a stop.

[break][break]

By the time the courier reached their wayward Pokémon Pip-Pip was struggling to free himself from the tangle of seaweeds he'd tried removing on his own. Exasperated, they tried to assisted the wriggling Piplup, until the seaweed suddenly lifted away all on its own-tossed aside as Slowpoke appeared from seemingly nowhere beside them.

[break][break]

A flicker of amusement brushed through Locke's mind as the disguised Latias turned her Telekinesis onto the clump of seaweed, attempting to reveal the shimmering object below.

Someone comes up behind him and gives him a hearty pat on the back, reinforcing his promise that no one will be drowning on their watch today, let alone councilwoman . Her partner-- boyfriend?-- introduces himself and gives the crowd a genial nod and smile.

Penny says it’s reassuring in a way that suggests it’s anything but reassuring. Sy’s smile doesn’t falter. Maybe she’s just aloof?

There’s not much time for ruminating as the lead of this outfit, , gathers up the goslings and, one by one, they jump into the water, Sy doing the tumble-backward’s technique because that’s how he learned and also because he thinks it’s cool and fun. He takes up a position on the outside of the group, swapping Vermillion for Champagne. The shiny Milotic stretches out in the sea next to him, doing a protective serpentine over the top-rear edge of the group.

Not long after the dig team arrives and gets to work, a group of aggressive Pokemon cuts a swathe through the currents and begins making trouble. is quick to react, creating a buoying surf that aims to drag the collection of interlopers away.

Sy lowered through the water, floating protectively over the dig team’s location; Champagne stretched herself along the trench and flashed a safeguard to shield them from interference.

Oh right, was here too. So the parents were babysitting. At least Lightning would be too busy with its hands full to have separation anxiety. Course, Izumi had decided to go on the other team instead. Decided that diving and exploring was more her thing, while hubby's thing was more protecting. But Izumi's presence came with a reminder that he'd forgotten his armband to mark what team he was on. "Right, looks like I got a touch distracted. Thanks honey" Josh spoke up, sneaking a peck on her lips with no care as to if anyone was looking. The kids weren't around, so he had no qualms about being openly affectionate.
[break][break]
"The new toys should be waterproofed well enough" Josh answered Izumi's question as he would get up and help her to adjust her own visor. Now that he had tested it himself, he had an idea of how to do it for her. In the background, he noted the presence of that one Wledig guy who he kept running into, with the last name he couldn't pronounce properly -- who looked like he had come from medieval times and seemed as much out of place as someone from that era too. Poor lad, he just needed a friend. But maybe one day @gywar up the courage to actually come and say hi.
[break][break]
Soon enough, they were ready to rumble. The group would quickly submerge, and find themselves going fairly deep in the process...
[break][break]
And then they came.
[break][break]
"Izumi, there's more on the outside as well! Watch your six!"
[break][break]
Pin Missile always carried a distinctive sound, one that Josh knew at the drop of a hat. Josh had established a separate comm with in particular before they had left using the HoloVision tech, and hopefully it would come in handy.
[break][break]
"Ice Beam!" Josh called out the moment that he sent out his Blastoise. Underwater, this would be able to be used to form a wall to give them some cover from the Pin Missile barrage. "Hydro Pump!" came the next command as Bastilo, his Blastoise, launched an attack from a gap in the ice wall.

As the mission begins things move faster than he anticipated. Truthfully, having been in few missions so far, Kieran's instinct was to watch and mimic what others were doing. He had never been the wallflower type, considering how much he loved talking, but doing something stupid was a particular fear that had developed since joining the Rangers.
[break][break]
There were few among the brave and the bold, that much was for certain and he wasn't sure if he qualified as either brave or bold. Being loud or obnoxious or open in conversation didn't exactly qualify for either trait. Despite that, he was a fairly quick learner and hated the idea of being useless. He'd gone most of his life as no more than excess weight for someone far stronger than him (ie his sister). How could he possible stand back at and do nothing?
[break][break]
He sent out Dewott then, who lashed out at the last stray bits of pin missile not averted by the other's attacks with AQUA TAIL. The otter pokemon was a quick thinker, clever in a way he probably didn't deserve so he smiled down at the dewott, "That was a good one." Too bad he left his treats at home.

ATLANTEAN ARTIFACTS


Huh, first time diving with proper equipment. A little constrictive, but not exactly a prohibitive cost when the alternative was drowning.

As they all slipped into the water, Gwyar's descent was assisted by his Empoleon and glowing Aegislash.

With and Professor Remzi instructing both groups on what to do, all there was left for the knight was to follow instructions. Only made somewhat daunting by the myriad of shiny gleaming eyes that suddenly opened within the dark, giving him pause.

... Well that couldn't be good.

"Please do watch over me." Gwyar said to Caladbolg as the blue crew approached the algae covered structures, humming. "Deep sea diving is not part of my core skillset..."

On cue, his Aegislash moved suddenly to stand between him and the myriad of eyes, its glow growing stronger as Qwilfish and Carvanha came out to protect their reef.

Like a deep sea lantern, the sword suddenly spotlighted an object/creature (?) in the far distance, trying to prompt the pokemon away from its trainer while the blonde worked on the debris, pulling at it with muscle and buoyancy both.

The man briefly glanced over at and quirked a brow with a grin— not that the Professor would be able to see that.

"Oh? And here I was convinced you could breath underwater." He hummed while looking over her equipment, recalling their last little job together near Pacifidlog.

VZFJDsHP

tl;dr:
-Caladbolg the Illumina Aegislash used Spotlight to hopefully distract the deep sea pokemon away from Gwyar.
-Sassing , but just a little.

He’s about to offer that they go over and actually talk to instead of just waving— an introduction is always fun! But the actual purpose of their being out on the water quickly kicks into motion, and before he can really keep up with it, Wren’s gear is prepped and he’s diving into the water alongside the rest of the orange team. His vaporeon, Jupiter, follows with graceful ease, watching his back and giving a nudge whenever he fails to drag himself down deeper. [break][break]

Though his mind is on the mission at hand, he doesn’t fail to notice shying from his typical outgoingness somewhat, and so Wren tries to stick close to him—though that’s initially a bit difficult in the process of swimming further into the murky waters. He’s not that much more experienced than the other rookie, but he knows what it’s like feeling a bit in over his head. So better together, right?[break][break]

Wren is only able to marvel at the bursts of color throughout the reef as the excavation begins. Perhaps he should’ve majored in marine biology, and not botany? The attacking Pokémon dissuade him from questioning his life choices. As he drifts toward Kieran where his dewott is trying to knock some of the qwilfish away, Jupiter assists in the endeavor— dredging up sandy water from the ocean floor in a strong wash of MUDDY WATER to further push the territorial pokemon away from the area where the blue team is setting up to excavate.[break][break]

Now alongside Kieran, Wren grins (though the diving mask obscures this,) and gives him a double thumbs up.

tldr; here we go!! wren dives down with his vaporeon, and sticks near . Jupiter uses MUDDY WATER to (gently?) push away attacking qwilfish!!

Cute. Ohhh, she and look so cute! There's no time to really go through every picture she'd taken, but Luka's sure there's a few winners amongst them.[break][break]

"Mhm! I'll send it over tonight!" she promises. "And if they really do pay us in treasure, I'll treat you to lunch!"[break][break]

The vow is sealed with a wink and another sunny smile before Luka flounces off and prepares for her own dive. Since she's not the strongest swimmer, she's counting on her Dragonair to help guide her under the waves. The serpentine Pokemon enters the sea with nary a splash, patiently waiting for Luka to put on her equipment and clamber onto her back. Though Luka struggles with her BCD for a moment she eventually gets the hang of it, and the pair slips below the waves along with the rest of the group.[break][break]

Immediately they're plunged into a breathtaking world of blues and greens. Sunlight streams in from overhead, turning the water gold right near the surface. Luka gazes, enraptured by the sight of the colorful corals and cute water types that swim into view as their team dives deeper and deeper. She gets why some might be frightened of the deep ocean but in this moment, she can't see it as anything but beautiful.[break][break]

Unfortunately, her reverie can't last long. It's Sakeru who alerts her to danger first; the dragon's body tenses as she senses the incoming threat. Soon enough schools of defensives fishies come straight at their group, teeth bared as they launch a barrage of swift attacks.[break][break]

Sakeru ducks and weaves in the water, avoiding oncoming pin missles and trying to keep her trainer safe. But avoidance isn't enough— they need to keep the excavation team from getting hurt as well![break][break]

Though her Dragonair is perfectly capable of taking on the danger, Luka sends her Primarina out to assist. Under the water, her Primarina's scales glow even more brilliantly than on the surface. The illumina phenomenon is gorgeous beneath the waves— glittering pinks and blues are woven in intricate patterns around her tail and her pearls glow opalescent.[break][break]

Her dazzling appearance manages to draw the eye of several attacking pokemon. Primarina uses this to her advantage, using sing on her captive audience to lull them into a harmless sleep. The melodic song travels even further underwater; perhaps even some of the agitated corsola in team one's location might hear it and be calmed.[break][break]

Eventually, the boat comes to a stop and the crisp water the the Hoenn Sea invites them in for an adventure. They all do one final check on their equipment before, one by one, they all head into the deep blue.

[break][break]

A flash of light releases a large, amethyst Starmie beneath the professor. She grabs a hold of one of the invertebrate’s large spikes and descends alongside the others into the darkness. As light from the surface fades, the ILLUMANTE ability of the echinoderm ignites. The ruby at her core glows, casting a guiding light for Eva and her fellow teammates.

[break][break]

As expected, they are not welcomed warmly by the pokemon that call this place home. It’s a natural response, as they likely have very little interaction with humans this deep. As much as Eva would like to encourage the Orange Team to use peaceful methods of dismissing their opponents, she is preoccupied by the task of clearing seaweed.

[break][break]

“On it!” she hums happily, guiding Starmie to settle between and . Eva proceeds to gently remove some of the slimy foliage with her gloved hands, “HA! Wouldn’t that be something,” she laughs at ’s comment, sparing him a quick glance from beneath her mask, “You know what? I think you’d be better at this,” she moves to let the Starmie get close to the seaweed. Her ILLUMINATE also aiding the others in their removal, “RAPID SPIN!” Eva commands, hoping to use the move’s natural ability to detangle wraps and binds to remove the seaweed at a quicker rate so they could ultimately leave these poor, scared pokemon alone.

[attr="class","illeana i"]after the final equipment check is complete and the boat rocks to a slow stop, they're able to get into the ocean. she takes her time, slowly easing into the water. somehow... she still feels a sense of unease the longer she's here.

it persists even as they're given instructions, even as they begin the dive.

she releases her dhelmise and while it's not a golurk, it still feels comforting in a way she can't describe. the possessed anchor sticks close as if it already knows her worries. and perhaps it does in some small, obscure way.

while others use clever moves to clear obstacles and distract pokemon from attacking, she opts for a rather slow method of clearing the seaweed: her own two hands. it's busy work, mostly, to keep her mind distracted from the water and what it could hold...

her dhelmise joins her side and begins to swirl itself around in the seaweed. the more algae and seaweed it gathers, the happier it becomes. before long, the ghost type is letting out an odd, elated sort of sound. she smiles softly and keeps moving seaweed out of the way, making sure to push some toward the dhelmise.

em: aa.

tl;dr |
- hi ya'll
- blue team
- releases dhelmise
- working on moving seaweed away with her hands
- dhelmise just sorta... swirls around in the seaweed to gather it on its body
- dhelmise is happy seaweed buddy

he chuckles at her response. "okay, i'll make sure to add that into my training regimen with new recruits then." he flashes her a cheeky grin — "but you're right. what would i do without you, anna?"

[break][break] conversations shift towards their two councilwomen, and ollie does his best to ignore the frost in his ex-girlfriend's eyes. he has a reputation to uphold here, after all.

[break][break] luckily, a perfection distraction comes in the form of the mission that they're all here to do. he glances back at just to make sure that the other boy is following, winking at him. final checks are made, and he flashes a grin at before leaping off the side of the boat alongside her.

[break][break] his lanturn, citrus, lights the way with her glowing orb. he swims ahead of the current to keep an eye out for any dangerous pokemon that would come in the way of their descent.

[break][break] several of his team immediately call into action, by providing cover for the blue team, by way of force or defense. ollie's eyes shift over to anna and as their pokemon's SURF and MUDDY WATER gently roll any aggressive pokemon away. "over there!" he points, speaking through the device on his mouth allowing him to breath, to his lanturn.

[break][break] electricity crackles around the pokemon's antennae as a THUNDER WAVE sparks around any pokemon that wander too close.
