Their gengar is instantly thrown back, tossed to the side by the heavy torrent of fire leveled at her from close range. Like the decidueye before her, she drops into a PHANTOM FORCE opening.[break][break]

Because their pokemon fight the same as their trainer. Evasively.[break][break]

Fern has always been a bit pathetically soft. Better at wiggling out of situations and making an escape like a slippery weasel, as opposed to bucking back and taking a hit.[break][break]

So when the same sort of needled spike shoots up to pierce their hand with far more ease than it had their boot, the howl that crawls up their throat is pained and instantaneous. Through sinew, between all those fragile hand bones. It’s sharp and immediate–the sort of heavy wash that makes light burst behind the eyes and one’s mind fog over.[break][break]

But because it’s him, Fern clamps their jaw shut on the sound, swallows it down. They’re still full of enough pride and enough nerve to provoke. “Ooh? That hit close to home?” they hiss through their teeth, managing a crooked grin.[break][break]

Artemis rematerializes between them, bow drawn in warning.

if only because he wants to prolong this encounter, he does not snap his fingers this time. the EARTH SPIKE remains as is, not yet EXPLODING.[break][break]

he glares at the decidueye, ignoring its warning as he listens for the familiar bubbling of fire that erupts from charizard's maws. a FLAMETHROWER is poured over the bird as charizard swoops by to tackle it away.[break][break]

with his approach clear, he keeps going until he reaches them.[break][break]

Pain continues to radiate from their hand, as blood bubbles at the edges of the pointed spike. That pain turns into something grounding, though. Reminding Fern that they can still think.[break][break]

They can endure it to escape. Doesn’t he know that jackals will gnaw off their paws to escape a trap? And Fern is all jackal.[break][break]

The decidueye falls, unconscious in one fell swoop. Their freed hand finds her pokeball—recalling her in a beam of light before more damage can be done.[break][break]

It’s about this time that their gengar re-appears from her PHANTOM FORCE to drive the charizard back.[break][break]

As he approaches, Fern bites at the air, teeth clicking audibly when their jaw snaps shut to shift into a coy smile. “I don’t think I’ll give you the honor.”

“Aw, you want to take your time on me? How sweet.”[break][break]

With Morty distracted by the charizard, and Artemis down for the count, they have no means of portaling away. Their most handy trick rendered useless even if they did manage to pull their hand off the spike still pinning it.[break][break]

Fern’s stare moves beyond Matias–searching for the gengar to send up some sort of signal.[break][break]

But the fist aimed at their nose pulls their attention right back to the man in front of them as stars explode behind their eyes and they can hear the sharp crack of cartilage and the warp of their mask under his knuckles. Again, a league member has busted their nose.[break][break]

They’ve lost. But like hell do they know when to let a sleeping dog lie.[break][break]

Might as well–[break][break]

Their free hand lifts to the half-mask as their head spins, vision going blurry at the edges. He splits in two in front of Fern’s face. Then comes back together. They pull the mask free and let it fall.[break][break]

A bloody-mouthed, delirious grin meets MATIAS SILPH again for the first time in months. Their tongue traces the blood filling the gaps between teeth.[break][break]

Then they suck in a breath, and spit in his face.

their mask comes off.[break][break]

"oh."[break][break]

through the blood being spat at him, recognition comes instantky.[break][break]

"you're that fucker who took my frigibax."[break][break]

and the same anger and frustration that plagued him then rises again now. an EARTH SPIKE shoots out beside him. he grabs the tip of it, breaking it off.[break][break]

while one hand reaches to grab them by their face, the other hand, the one with the spike, goes for their ear.[break][break]

They lift a brow, “Surprise?” They lean their head back against the wall where they’re pinned. The motion almost cavalier for the situation they’re in.[break][break]

A garbled bark of laughter follows, muddled by the blood in their mouth.[break][break]

“You’re really sticking to that bit, huh? Just accept it; you weren’t fast enough.” Good enough. Another giggle, edging on delirious, despite the flutter of wariness that comes.[break][break]

“—you’re batshit out of your mind.” And maybe not for funsies as all of Fern’s playful banter and nerve would have them seem.[break][break]

It’s a thought that comes as he latches onto their face, and they attempt to bite down on the meat of his hand. Eyes blown wide as they struggle before the iron hot pain sears where they’re ear is supposed to be.

the pain from having his hand bitten must pale in comparison to losing an ear. while he can only imagine, fern delaney doesn't have to.[break][break]

it's all a bloody mess that's somehow overshadowed by the laugh that escapes him. he pulls his hands back—his blood, their blood, it doesn't matter—and smears it across their face.[break][break]

"you fucking bit me! who even bites people? you're such a fucking animal!"[break][break]

balling his hand up into a fist, he hisses in pain, dropping the spike after only to kick both it and what remains of their ear away.[break][break]

the other EARTH SPIKE retracts, freeing them.[break][break]

If there is one thing to be said of Fern Delaney, or rather, Harper Beck, it’s that they refuse to cower. Even when they’re bloodied and their vision spins. The side of their head feels hot and wet, adrenaline and shock temporarily numbing most of the pain.[break][break]

They grin, toothy and wild “Oh, that’s so vanilla. How boring. But it worked, didn’t it?”[break][break]

Fern braces themself as he steps back to shake the pain out of his hand. If they concentrate, they should hopefully be able to yank their hand off of the spike without passing out.[break][break]

But it retracts before they have the need. Still hurts like a bitch, though.[break][break]

Behind Matias, they see Morty tear away from the overpowering presence of the charizard. The gengar looks just as ragged as they do, but there’s enough energy left in her to tear open another portal to jump closer.[break][break]

“You’re awfully gamey, by the way,” they add, a pokeball rolling into their hand for one last trick.[break][break]

Beira erupts from her pokeball to snap her DRAGON TAIL at Matias’ midsection in an attempt to send him sailing out of reach— the baxcalibur’s effort to assist Fern in unhindered retreat.

arrogance gets the better of him as there was no need to release them from the EARTH SPIKE. but he wants to taunt, he wants to goad, and for that, he pays the price.[break][break]

DRAGON TAIL slams into his midsection, knocking the wind out of him as he's sent sailing back. his hand raises too slowly to stop him from hitting the ground.[break][break]

by the time he comes to, all he sees is the dwindling form of a baxcalibur.[break][break]

"...fucker."[break][break]
