The smoke from the burning buildings left behind with Elinor Anderson lingered on Elisabeth's suit, the repulsive odor clinging to her skin like sweat no matter how far she ran from the flames' origin.

A private relief filled her to have distanced herself from that chaos, despite the fact that Elisabeth herself had invited it in a bid to escape.

Fire held a primal terror over her in a way precious few other things did.

Slipping into the shadows of the forest, Elisabeth watched the distant figures of several other individuals ahead -- one whose vestments glimmered like a Kommo-o's scales, metallic and dazzling. Beside her, a Salamence similarly gleaming with armaments stood sentinel, awaiting an attack.

This soldier wasn't a Rocket, that much Elisabeth knew. The Rocket admin would otherwise recognize a woman who possessed such stately bearing on a battlefield.

A Pokeball whistled through the air, releasing a GOODRA that smiled up at its mistress before unleashing a DRAGON PULSE towards the unsuspecting Salamence. The powerful concentration of energy careened through the undergrowth, shattering the vegetation as it sought to strike its enemy unawares from behind.

_{GOODRA uses DRAGON PULSE on SALAMENCE!}

Whatever stealth Elisabeth had benefitted from was gone in an instant, and she silently hoped the trade-off was worth it.

TLDR:

Masked in green and white.
Elisabeth briefly spooked by the fires from her past fight with Elinor Anderson, sees freya morningstar and her Salamence from behind.

John Sullivan and Elisabeth Fiorelli like this

sullivan's display of power has her grinning from ear to ear, blood baying. it's been too long. years ago, she'd been in a ground unit and after that, when this was all just beginning, she was at the forefront. but they are not up against impossible odds, otherworldly foes with little sentience and insatiable bloodlust.

no, they are up against something much more frightening.

lyune swoops low to the treeline, darting as quickly as he can over the swaying branches. her eyes are blue fire, trained on the groudon and its trainer because he's on the field too. she'd recognize that lucario anywhere.

but still some ways off, they're shot from the sky. lyune roars with fury and pain as the dragon pulse sears his wing. he tucks it instinctually and freya leans to the side as he tumbles sideways through the air. the pedal presses, drawing his wing taut against his body, and they spin.

it's dizzying to watch, impossible even to fathom the expert timing of their release. he snaps back open, a spurt of angry flame pouring from his maw, tail swinging as he veers away from their quarry and onto their assailant.

freya flashes a claw-studded finger to her quiver, but doesn't press for an arrowhead yet. instead, she grips her reins tighter as lyune lands on the ground at breakneck speed; the earth cracks and bows out from under him, rippling towards the goodra in a devastating earthquake.

If Elisabeth had learned anything from fighting in Littleroot, it was this: never underestimate the advantage of being airborne.

The Rocket admin's entire body shook with the tremor of the EARTHQUAKE underfoot. Pure instinct propelled her to reach for the branch of a nearby tree, swinging herself up from the ground and into the treetops just as the earth shattered and broke apart, sliding with rocks and rubble into a newly-carved ravine.

That was close. Too close, she thought to herself, heart racing.

Her eyes darted about anxiously for her Goodra amidst the earthen dust, only to feel absurd relief at the sight of the slimy Dragon-type shaking its head as it climbed out of a temporary prison of earth and upturned roots.

Their last maneuver against the Salamence had done significant damage. Why question a tried and true method?

Puffing its cheeks angrily, her Goodra once more sent the vibrations of a DRAGON PULSE towards the enemy Salamence, hoping to recapture the magic of that first strike.

ALEXANDER STONE and Elisabeth Fiorelli like this

the earth rumbles. it's loose now - there is a hollow ache in the surrounding roots, a resounding groan as a tree snaps at the base and falls loudly. they're in a clearing of their own making and lyune's gaze is trained on the enemy. freya's, on the other hand, is searching.

finger twitching, sweeping across the shorn earth and loose rock. but hidden in the trees, swathed in green and white, with sticky sweat already upon freya's brow, she does not find elisa. yet.

the tell-tale thrum of another attack snaps her attention back and she gives a cheshire grin, snapping back on lyune's reins. the behemoth exposes his chest, laden carefully with matching scalemail to that of his rider. one of ALEXANDER STONE 's last gifts.

his own maw gathers with crackling blue energy and out from it pours a horrendous dragon pulse of his own. it meets its assailant's attack in the middle, overwhelming it with force. but some of that energy inevitably slips through, whipping at lyune's sides, battering freya's frame. she never loses that wild smile.

The twin DRAGON PULSES vied for dominance, matching and meeting in a glorious burst of draconic energy. Powerful vibrations rippled out on the impact of these identical attacks, sending the trees swaying as leaves scattered and branches shook.

Elisabeth could feel the woman's eyes searching for her from the skies above, and everything in the Rocket admin screamed to hold still lest a single wrong move betray her position.

In the end, it was a matter of strength: who was stronger, freya morningstar's Salamence or Elisabeth Fiorelli's Goodra?

One was trained by a woman who had spent the better portion of her life dedicated to understanding the intricacies and nuances of Dragon-type Pokémon, while the other belonged to a woman whose specialties lied in the fields of Grass, Poison, and Bug-type Pokémon.

So when Lyune's power eventually overpowered Dewdrop's, the residual energies of the DRAGON PULSE sent the slimy Dragon tumbling backwards, slamming into a nearby tree.

_{GOODRA's DRAGON PULSE falters to the might of SALAMENCE's DRAGON PULSE!}

The damage was significant, Elisabeth realized with mild alarm. She bit back the impulse to recall her Pokémon or to order it to engage in protective measures, reminding herself that silence kept her safer than strategy at this point.

She'd have to trust her Goodra to respond on instinct, instead.

Dewdrop was not the brightest of Elisabeth's Pokémon, nor was it the fastest, or the most defensively oriented. What the Goodra lacked in those regards it made up for in raw enthusiasm.

An IRON TAIL zinged up to meet the Salamence, seeking to strike its shimmering armor with a resounding, metallic blow.

_{GOODRA used IRON TAIL on Salamence!}

TLDR:

Masked in green and white.
SALAMENCE wins the DRAGON PULSE war! GOODRA takes significant damage!
Elisabeth stays quiet and still to avoid being found by freya morningstar, but leaves Goodra in a riskier position as a result.

stinging welts rise over her arms where the draconic energy licks. she twists, bracing herself further against lyune's neck, the fastened claws on her fingertips curl and bite into the flesh of her palm. and then there's a crack as the goodra flies back and into a tree.

lyune roars, stamping one foot down, nostrils flaring. humongous claws scrape into the churned soil and then rear back, dragging root and the blood of the earth with it. the goodra comes nearer and freya cackles, shoulders throwing back in tandem with lyune's.

a goodra's attack is nothing to write off and when its tail impacts lyune's chest, the sleek metal screeches as it's busted. a bout of smoke spurts from lyune's mouth as the wind is knocked out of him, but still those heavy claws fall to capture their prey, tipped with draconic fire and murderous.

the ground shakes and freya snicks her fingers on her quiver, nocks an arrow, and shoots wildly into the treeline.

...*BOOM*.

Expertly notched and released, the flaming arrow swiftly found its mark as it whistled through the air, exploding in a surge of brilliant gold and red sparks. The EXPLOSION broke apart the battered earth anew, wrecking the trees that had served as Elisabeth's hiding place.

_{freya morningstar's SELF-DESTRUCT ARROW destroys the surrounding foliage!}

The tremor of the resulting fissures threw Elisabeth from her high vantage point, furling her body into a tight roll as she collided against the uneven ground. Bruises welted across her skin, and her entire body screamed as old wounds from fighting John Sullivan and Shalin Nariya reopened.

Was she finally being pushed to her limit? How much longer could she survive this constant onslaught of battles?

Exposed in the clearing, there was no longer a reason not to recall her struggling Goodra, which was now pinned beneath the Salamence's might. Bringing herself to a low crouch, Elisabeth WITHDREW the Dragon-type and threw up another Pokeball as her TOXAPEX emerged. It, like its mistress, was beginning to tire from the constancy of battle.

Nonetheless when Elisabeth ordered it to attack the Dragon-type overhead, the Poison-type obliged, and ICY WIND shrieked towards the heavens in a series of frozen arrows.

_{GOODRA was recalled! TOXAPEX entered the battlefield and used ICY WIND against SALAMENCE!}

For all its strengths, however, ice possessed an inherent weakness all its own: fire.

A weakness that Elisabeth shared, in more ways than one.

lyune's maw parts, saliva dripping from teeth as wide around as freya's fist. if there were still not an assailant hiding amidst the trees, freya may have let him have his snack. but instead she sinks a knee into his side, forcing him to press his weight into the goodra's neck. it squeals and freya watches the treeline hungrily.

there. a red beam shoots out from the foliage and crouched amidst rubble and felled trees is a human figure. a low hiss whistles from her teeth and the salamence harumphs as the shape beneath him disappears, ancient eyes turning in the direction of freya's gaze.

he squares his chest, raising his head. his tail slams hard and heavy into the ground in warning. the muscles of his wings flex. freya's spine stretches as she rights herself, shuddering away from the pain from those welts. blue eyes fixate on their target.

lyune thrums lowly. another pokemon takes the goodra's place and freya laughs wildly, snapping back her reins. there is a moment of stillness and then her giant stalks forward. bright light fills his chest, clawing over twisted metal, shimmering through his scales. liquid fire pours down his neck, dripping like lava as his jaw widens.

a wave of heat shimmers. the icicles embed into his raw, exposed flesh (courtesy of the goodra). some ping harmlessly off of what remains of his chest armor. one whisks by freya's cheek, drawing blood. but still the dragon approaches, unfalteringly - the reaper come to collect its due.

freya utters a word that resembles more of a snarl and the liquid catches, sparking into an explosive stream of flame - aimed not at the toxapex, but the trainer hiding behind it.

Before the dragon's breath could engulf her in its fiery tendrils, Elisabeth's vision blacked out from the memory of pain. Hands flew to cover her masked face in vain, paralyzed by a panic that clawed up through her lungs and lodged itself into her throat.

"How far did you think you could run, before you burned for your sins?" a dead man sneered in her mind, the shadow of his ghost dragged back into the light of the Salamence's flame. "You chose to suffer. I'm merely giving you the punishment you asked me for."

The sweltering heat of the FLAMETHROWER surged towards her immobile body as a primal scream ripped its way out of her at last -- something so feral and so instinctive in nature it broke through the technological constraints of her damaged vocalizer, fritzing with alarmed static.

It had been Lulu Flint who had said not to take the dead for granted. Somewhere, in some other unknown universe, the husband she'd buried a year ago instead had lived to see the sight of her charred corpse, torn asunder by his beasts in punishment for daring to defy him.

How poetic, that here and now, she might face the same ending -- as if the loom of fate had not spared her such a demise, but rather rewoven to delay it, for a little while.

Maybe they'd laugh about it in hell together.

That was the last thought that registered before her world was enveloped in smoke and flame.

_{SALAMANCE's FLAMETHROWER aims for Elisabeth Fiorelli! Elisabeth is knocked out!}

Fear had a stranglehold so great over the mind that it could do more severe damage to the human body than anything else ever could.

Here was what happened in the world that Elisabeth had closed her eyes to:

Her Toxapex had leapt to defend her, aiming LIQUIDATION at the fires that sought to kill its mistress. Taking the hit as it stood squarely in place on twelve legs, the Toxapex hissed in anger as the FLAMETHROWER slammed into its body from all angles, unable to fully defend Elisabeth from the inferno in its entirety.

Still, it was enough to prevent burn wounds of that sort that had scarred her in another place and time, when facing an opponent much like this one.

_{TOXAPEX withstands the FLAMETHROWER for Elisabeth Fiorelli! TOXAPEX used LIQUIDATION to try and block the worst of the flames!}

Prone upon the ground, the masked form of Elisabeth Fiorelli looked dead for a moment. The terror of being targeted by the FLAMETHROWER had alone been enough to subdue her.

Her Toxapex nudged its mistress with one of its many spines, growling softly in displeasure, before aiming another jet of water at her directly. She coughed as the water invaded her lungs, barely returned to consciousness as she glanced up at the form of freya morningstar.

With cracked ribs and shattered mind, she was in no condition to run.

TLDR:

Masked in green and white.
SALAMENCE uses FLAMETHROWER on Elisabeth Fiorelli, who has a panic attack and blacks out!
TOXAPEX uses LIQUIDATION to try and subdue the flames and takes the brunt of the FLAMETHROWER!
Elisabeth Fiorelli basically knocked out and barely conscious tbh.

it's a marvel, seeing a pokemon throw itself before its trainer. the creature has an edge to it, given its affinity for water, but there are still bubbling blisters crawling over its skin. lyune's head twists as his gas sac empties. the flames billow, lashing at the felled trees and scorching the earth where their prey lay.

only she does not put up a fight. surely, she could have brought forth her goodra again to withstand some of the heat, and there's little chance she isn't kitted with other pokemon that are able to help her.

when he is finished and he raises his massive head to draw in a deep, rattling breath, freya utters a word. the fire dies in the back of his throat.

i have been here before, but they deserved it. her?

cadet freya would have cut her down in a heartbeat, bloodied hammer of justice making the world a better place. but now, after everything she's been through - with Emma Wolfe , with KING WAYLAND - they are people.

she knows better than most that good people are capable of terrible things.

so she dismounts. lyune expresses his uneasiness with a grumble, a forking of his tongue across her cheek. she slips a hand aside her quiver and presses a couple of buttons. a pink-tipped arrowhead snicks onto a shaft and deposits into her hand.

it balances, delicately, as she nears. still, she is cautious.

she crouches, face grim.

"i'm sorry," she whispers and tightens her grip on the arrow.

Her Toxapex, blistered and battered, was too desperate to RECOVER from its own wounds to act further. It had done all it could to prevent the inevitable.

The silvery-white of Freya's hair glimmered like a moonlit halo as she dismounted, but there was no comfort to be taken in the approach of this angelic silhouette as she notched yet another arrow and aimed it directly for her quarry.

Dread gripped Elisabeth as the strange woman approached, but no matter how her mind screamed to move, her legs failed to obey her. Her nerves had been shot, and what little presence of mind she yet possessed focused on one thing and one thing only: survival. A shaking hand reached into her belt, fumbling until it found purchase on something hard and smooth.

I won't let you kill me, she mouthed silently, the promise unseen and unheard behind her mask.

Self-preservation ruled Elisabeth in this moment, having just barely been spared from the jaws of certain death by her Toxapex. She didn't trust her life in this stranger's hands; she had no reason to expect kindness. The mercy that John Sullivan had shown her had been a fluke, something that neither Shalin Nariya nor Thomas Benoit would have spared her previously.

"I'm sorry," the stranger said, but nothing in Eisabeth believed her.

So instead, before her enemy could strike, Elisabeth took the brief window of opportunity she had been granted, and seized it viciously.

She unsheathed the blade that Felix Gallagher had given her moments before this battle in Littleroot began, and sought to thrust it -- with all her might -- into pale flesh until it bled.
