“BATTLE ROUTINE SET!”

a familiar voice echoes from the deep pits of the ULTRA SEA outpost. what kyle’s comm line fails to pick up is instead answered by the vigor of hoenn’s POKeATHALON coach. a summer full of receiving fernando’s orders in real time becomes painfully nostalgic as a hulking figure wades closer to them at an alarming speed.

whatever distance separates them is dwarfed by the growing size of his enclosing STEELIX. ab right light radiates from the pokemon’s open maw. by the time it actually reaches kyle, the LIGHT OF RUIN will have already fired. how effective it’ll prove against NIHILEGO remains to be seen.

whether it lives up to kyle’s TERA BLAST or not hardly matters. against such a large school, every blast counts.

BLINDING LIGHT EATS AWAY AT THESE UNEARTHLY CYSTS. the same LIGHT OF RUIN that was prophesied to bring RUINATION to their land is now weaponized against these foreign invaders. like viruses, they shrivel under prolonged exposure. the twisted knots of SHATTERED PSYCHE destroy them from the inside. and when they faint? they become still pools of white, not unlike the remaining puss of a bacterial invasion.

“execute!”

PRIMAL ENERGY pools from the MEGA STONE in his palm. it swells all at once, collected into a large body before it shoots toward his pokemon. when it connects, the energy seeps into the steelix’s body. it grows, each steel segment enlargening as the excess becomes shards of pure crystal that revolves around its mouth.

“raaaaaawrrrrghhhhhh!”

another LIGHT OF RUIN starts to manifest. but the attack is no longer the byproducts of an unknown hatchery. it becomes something more.

something blessed by their world. blessed by the byproduct of a million crossroads. empowered by the ORIGIN POINT that promises to take all of this away.

it becomes the RUINOUS BLOOMS IN MOONLIGHT.

LIGHT OF RUIN: RUINOUS BLOOMS IN MOONLIGHT
a devastating beam of light is unleashed on the battlefield before leaving lingering energy. the user is empowered immensely, but becomes confused.

A GIRTHY ROCK HEAD MITIGATES RECKLESS USAGE OF LIGHT OF RUIN. the entire length of the pokemon’s shaft pulses with life as it discharges a constant stream of searing, white light. the covering fire bathes all that stand in their way, keeping them at bay as kyle makes it inside of the outpost.

“there!”

his focus is strictly on the battle in front of them. even if he had the knowledge, he has no way to communicating without his comm device. so far, defending the base and warping between ULTRA SEA proved too taxing for him to keep score on the outpost’s inventory.

“grroaaah!”

the STEELIX is overcome by the copious ultra beasts. for every NIHILEGO they put down, another pops up in its place. like the water itself, they make up the entire basis of ULTRA SEA.

the whole outpost rattles when the STEELIX lands atop one of the subsections. the sound of its MEGA EVOLUTION being dispersed slips between the crumbling rubble.

“HNGGH.”

fernando finds himself sprawled across the floor of the outpost’s broken wall. his STEELIX rumbles as it tries to bring itself back upright. when its unable to, he recalls it, allowing the FAINTED pokemon to find refuge in its pokeball.

he’ll need it for later.

immediately outside of the outpost, the NIHILEGO create a barrier that prevents them from leaving. they don’t seem to have any hostilities as far as invading the man-made structure, but their prevalence makes the purpose of this outpost obsolete.

WARM CLARITY WASHES OVER REOPENED WOUNDS. the sound of his own name perks his attention onto their visiting champion.

“irritable,” he replies with a coarse grumble. picking himself up requires some effort but tapping the BEAST KILLER’s ball proves simple enough. with a small cascade of light, the synthetic pokemon appears.

“battle routine set!”

despite the raw number of ULTRA BEAST, the SILVALLY remains in place. it growls, obviously aggravated, but reigns in the instinct to act out until the command is given.

“EXECUTE!”

kyle’s play-by-play only spurs his own call to action. it’s a rather long way of mentioning his pokemon is out of commission but frontloading the direness of their situation coaxes fernando in the right direction.

the sudden movements of his LUCARIO are stomach churning but fernando holds steadfast.

his SILVALLY charges forward with its MULTI-ATTACK, blitzing through several NIHILEGO with the grace of a FROAKIE leaping from LOTAD to LOTAD. however, no matter how specialized this pokemon may be, it is merely one against many.

having to tackle each one individually shows how much more effective the AOE of his STEELIX had been comparatively.

“WE CAN’T MAINTAIN THIS,” he shouts to kyle. it’s like watching them pop frenzied DURANTS one by one. whatever kill streak they manage, it feels infantile against a hive’s vast army.

“but we can’t let them overrun the outpost.”

giving up such a strategic point would jeopardize the whole operation. something they can’t risk this far into chasing the SEAL STONE.
