Despite a strong attempt to try and shield itself, Garand is nonetheless struck down by a spear of ice cast by the unhinged GLASTRIER. Belial curses as he returns his mercenary Pokémon to its ball. The dialogue between CALYREX and the others, however, is far too important to ignore out of anger. He committed every response to memory.

Afterward, the black sheep of the Stone family watches as Calyrex undergoes a gruesome death. A satisfied grin spreads from behind the cover of his mask. To see something so high and mighty finally meet its end grants him some hope for the future. He watches the events unfold afterward before realizing that not enough of his compatriots were heading towards one particular portal. It was time to try and change that.

Catching up with and granting her a nod in greeting, he pauses to summon a SHINY SPEWPA onto his shoulder before advancing into the portal headed for MOTOSTOKE. "Let's stick together, yeah? We don't know exactly what we're walking into..."

Mira watched Calyrex die with a very solemn expression. Again, she didn't see the point it getting thrill out of killing the king. She also knew not the live the  alone. "I'll follow you to hammerlocke. Something still me that we might be in for it." Her fox was satisfied now that the threat was gone he returned to his trainer. [break][break]  She wondered if the power who used xerenas power did the right thing. If someone wanted to die- well they should stay dead but did seemed that work anyway what did they have to worry about. "Be ready for anything." And it seemed they were off. [break][break]


After seeing Calyrex killed she agrees to go hammerlocke with Lucette [break][break]

Her hisuian zorua returned to her side and they left off with the other.[break][break]

Was the ruler worthy of mourning? Had seeing the corpse of Calyrex, high king of Galar, wither before his eyes inspired some kind of melancholy in Alba? Something of deep and striking majesty had been tainted with rot, and had turned to sludge before his eyes. Did the sight stir something within his heart?[break][break]

Not really. Not enough to follow the horde of mourners nonsensically grieving over a creature they'd known for a scant few minutes. A half-dead thing was bound to die. Being sad over such an inevitability was ridiculous to the extreme. From the moment they met to the moment they departed, everyone present knew that they would dye their hands with royal blood.[break][break]

Or maybe Evovae's mourning came in the form of contemplation. A Black Knight, a Skeleton, a Hero of Many Battles, falling stars. He didn't understand the full meaning behind the names, but the words were filed away all the same. It was a shame he couldn't ask Calyrex anymore about it. Wasn't that grief, in its own way? Grief that knowledge had been lost.[break][break]

Musharna was returned to her ball. He grieved— no, merely pitied the pain his Pokémon had suffered. That, too, was an inevitability. They were meant to attack and be attacked. Tools that blended into companions.[break][break]

Create stories that will be everlasting. Ones that will be sung in every tavern in the land…[break][break]

He hadn't tried to do that for a long while. Maybe this try and being a hero would turn out better than the last.[break][break]

The destination of the would-be legend was more of a blind pick than anything else. He had no idea who actually was, but he'd heard him speak on the comms, so that was good enough for him. As Alba marched towards the teleportation beam for Ballonlea, he sent out his Iron Moth. It was best to keep his defences up, right?[break][break]

"Oh! The guy who held me at gunpoint," the scientist said to almost cheerfully, smiling behind his mask. Clearly, he'd chosen his next step perfectly.

"Eh?" Its a confused sound that escapes Akira as she looks at Isaac, as he seems to be- happy about the blanket? And whats the stupid look on his face... "I mean, yeah its warm." She responded with that familiar curt tone. "-I don't really plan on sharing either. You look warm in that-"[break][break]

And suddenly, he was gone.[break][break]

The one pillar of fucking sanity she'd found in this hellscape seemingly vanished into thin air, warning them of a threat that- well- she at this point couldn't quite keep her shit together for. Her single eye would become wide, filled with the same panic she'd felt in the snow just a few minutes before.[break][break]

"H-holy s-shit- are- are we-" bewildered and utterly convinced they were going to fucking die in this tundra, Akira tries to find anyone nearby that woulda actually listen to her. And, upon seeing people migrate move towards the general direction of a town-[break][break]

"-Is nobody phased by how utterly insane this is? We're all going to fucking die, aren't we?!"[break][break]

Oh god... not ... he was just dead. They were so screwed...[break][break]

TLDR:[break]
- ngl I have no idea whats happening.[break]
- she's confused by Isaac's statement about the blanket. Oh right, thats his aint it[break]
- when he poofs she's- yeah- spooked.[break]
- golurk stands prepared to take any hits for Akira.

A thick veil of black obscures Felix's vision from within the masks. It fades colors, washes details, and conceals what would normally be visible to the naked eye.

And yet, despite these obstacles, there was no denying the way 's abilities swept away the attacks without struggle. One second, there was a straight shot, and the next? Legendary beasts were birthed from ashes, prepared to take the bullet and slash.

"Don't let them escape," he barked out to the gallade, who spun into another attack. But, nothing more than a simple glance, a momentarily lapse of eye contact, was earned.

No different than , the admin nearly kicked himself into gear, readied to take aim at one of the opened rifts to which the legendary beasts took escape into. They'd have to be in one of them.

But then he heard 's voice break through the static, followed by the rest, and shook himself awake.

There'll be another time. Another opportunity to pay dividends for the power they'd allowed run rampant throughout the region.

"Omen moving to Ballonea."

Try as the beast might, its jaws clenched around the ice lance, its primal might eventually fell short. A small respite for its inevitable demise. Mori lurched, and the lance detonated in its maw, sending the beast crashing into the floor without any more fight in it. Kyrenai, shielded by her Tyrantrum's large frame, was left unharmed, but at the cost of her partner's ability to fight.

Mori was recalled, the assassin fully aware the beast was incapacitated until she could get it checked by professionals, for she doubted rest alone would not be enough to heal the damage done. Down one and another injured, she'd have to start picking her choices more carefully. Her pondering is interrupted by a wary-eyed dragon rider, regality befitting her as much as the dragon steed she sits upon. The way she looks and extends her hand at the cyan-haired man near her makes her smirk.

"Like I'd ever expect them to," there's sacrasm lining her words when she says those words, and then she raises her arm at the two, making her way up the hill. "Same goes to you, both."

The details of Calyrex' death remains a mystery until she too wanders towards the four beams left by the deceased High King, like all else flocking towards them. She takes her time checking the remnants of the destroyed statue, the Calyrex' body; in search of anything that might look interesting enough to releave them of.

But eventually Kyrenai finds the time has come to choose a destination, and her feet drag to a halt before the Hammerlocke portal. She regards it for a moment, inhales, and makes up her mind before allowing the light to swallow her whole.

"To the heart of the beast we go."

While 's LAPRAS attempts to freeze parts of the CALYREX EFFIGY back together, 's MUSHARNA uses a FRENZY PLANT to weave it in vines. and 's GOLETT attempt to repair it further while 's SMEARGLE attempts to reverse time in part; however, it is 's ALAKAZAM that brings it altogether. A TELEKINESIS helps amass stones and debris to create a cairn to support it from falling.[break][break]



and offer the quickest prayers, while lays a somber poem by the mound.[break][break]

Regrettably, it is a hasty ceremony. A rushed ritual as understands. As the powers of teleportation bestowed by the CALYREX'S last act begin to fade. As people begin to leave, wonders if any consequences will come from CALYREX'S DEATH.[break][break]

can not retrieve a petal, for the petals have turned into teleportative pillar. He manages to pick up a small leafy fragment, shriveled by poison, however, as a small, transient souvenir.[break][break]

As 's criticisms falls on apathetic ears, an EARTHEN SPIKE begins to emerge from the ground. 's powers of wind attempt to blow the man away from the erupting spear, while attempts to warn him, his voice tearing into an echo as he's warped.

THE OUTCOME & RESULT CAN BE DETERMINED BY RAIKOURIDER.

HIDEO CAN RIDE THIS TEMPORARY GLASTRIER AND COMMAND A POKEMON AT THE SAME TIME AS LONG AS THE GLASTRIER DOES NOT USE A MOVE. YOU MAY CHOOSE ITS MOVES LIKE A GACHAPON POKEMON.


Eventually, the burial mound is left all by its lonesome and the teleportation magic fades. The Crown Tundra falls quiet, save for the howling winds of an everwinter.[break][break]

The mound stirs. From the cracks traveling across its disturbed soil, poison begins to ooze.



BALLONLEA




THE WHIMSICAL HAVEN IN THE GLIMWOOD is now a grove of despair and death. It is a dark city: nestled so deep in the wood, some of the only light comes from surviving bioluminescent shrooms. Half-timbered cottages in Tudor style are set against thick tree roots. This city is the only city that will have a clear sight of the night sky; there is an observatory high up in the trees only made accessible by a spiraling staircase of mushrooms.[break][break]

Much of the flora that had adorned the city's streets now withers and wilts from the flooding of poisonous sludge. There are modern day conveniences here. Poke Centers. A stadium. Old street lights. However, the residents here seem to be of old Galarian peasantry.[break][break]

HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from BALLONLEA'S STADIUM from where its POWER SPOT should be. The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]



Suddenly, a tortured scream rips across the city. A peasant is grasped by what appears to be like a wretched, dribbling hand that has emerged from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. It pulls the peasant deep into the sludge, the body instantaneously devoured. When attacked, the hands seem easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]

CIRCHESTER




CIRCHESTER WAS ONCE A CITY OF GRACEFUL BEAUTY. Snow no longer falls in beautiful flakes here; instead, ash descends upon its various ruins. Modern day amenities can be found in the city. The stadium, poke Centers, hotels, and sullen cafes. Strangely, the people in this city seem out of place, for they look like old Galarian peasantry.[break][break]



HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from THE HERO'S BATH. It is the famed hot spring of Circhester, where the Hero of Many Battles was rumored to have rested in its fight against the skeleton... The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]

HAMMERLOCKE




THE ONCE THRIVING CITY OF HAMMERLOCKE now stands as a somber shell of its former graundeur. Arriving here, one can see familiar modern day luxuries. Broken down Poke Centers. Street lights. Towering walls and parapet walks have crumbled in parts, the castle stone weathered and worn by fissures. However, the people who peek out of ragged structures seem anything but contemporary, for they appear to be of Galarian peasantry.[break][break]

They hide from hand-like manifestations that emerge from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. They aim to grasp anything that nears them; however, they are easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]



In the west side of the city, two heavy double doors can be opened to a set of stone stairs. Climbing these stairs and opening another set of wooden doors will reveal the HAMMERLOCKE VAULT; however, the chamber and its four tapestries are smothered in bubbling poisons.[break][break]

MOTOSTOKE




MOTOSTOKE WAS ONCE THE CAPITAL FOR INDUSTRY. However, it is now a tragic testament to the destruction of this world. Its steam machinations churn sludge in channels where water once was.[break][break]



Steam is now replaced with putrid smoke.[break][break]

There are still modern day services in the city: the stadium. Poke Centers. Factories. The people who still live here, however, seem like they do not belong here, for they are dressed like Galarian peasantry. They hide from hand-like manifestations that emerge from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. They aim to grasp anything that nears them; however, they are easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]

Motostoke is close to a GALARIAN MINE; several carts of mined ore can be found in the MOTOSTOKE OUTSKIRTS to the east, where a broken down brick bridge prevents further traversal to the caves.[break][break]

HOWEVER, THE CALYREX'S PREMATURE 'DEATH' has shifted the scene in which our trainers find the city. THICK, VISCOUS WAVES OF SLUDGE continue to pour out from MOTOSTOKE TRAIN STATION & ITS STEAM TRAIN. The TRAIN LEAKS ON AN ELEVATED TRACK, spilling sludge like waterfalls all around the city. The peasantry have erected palisade walls with their Pokemon, shouting warnings and war cries as poison crashes upon them.[break][break]

Suddenly, a tortured scream rips across Motostoke. A peasant is grasped by what appears to be like a wretched, dribbling hand that has emerged from the sludge. They are not Pokemon—no, they are pronged manifestations of what had slumbered in the deep. It pulls the peasant deep into the sludge, the body instantaneously devoured. When attacked, the hands seem easy to down by GROUND or PSYCHIC-TYPE MOVES.[break][break]

It's cold. Hitoshi's one hope is that he'd end up somewhere warmer. It'll take months to adjust to this weather. His blood's too thin up here. If there's any solace or consolation, it's that he'll have time to adjust.[break]
At least, for the first time since coming to this place, he has a task that he can understand. He doesn't even need to look at to know what order's coming. Someone has to deal with the claws.[break]
With a perfectly impartial expression, he observes how one of the peasants is grabbed. He watches with methodical, clinical impassiveness as they are pulled kicking and screaming into the sludge. A necessary sacrifice - one that informs him on how to kill these monsters. There's a solution to this problem. He has the perfect blade for the job.[break]
Munenori, his Gallade, is drawn out of its pokeball. The creature looks around, unsure of what to make of this place, but ultimately looks to Hitoshi for orders.[break]
"Seems like we've got ourselves a game of whack a mole. If we don't want more folks to die, we have to figure out where the claws are gonna pop up before they pop up. You know what to do." It's future sight, the same maneuver that almost killed back in the cave beneath a podunk town. Munenori teleports with Hitoshi to a central point of the town, somewhere they can respond to threats from.[break][break]
The Gallade closes his eyes...[break]
The hours that follow are a blur. Half-lived in the present, half-lived in the future. He foresees a peasant being grabbed by claws. He rushes in to save them, cutting down the claws with psychic force. Afterwards, Munenori always returns to that central point.[break]
"Don't worry, folks. We'll kill anything that tries to kill ya." The dog gives any passing townsfolk an awkward thumbs up. He doesn't know the first thing about being a hero, or inspiring people, or telling tales of heroism, but he's trying. He made someone a vow, sworn in his blood. That means something for a man who wears his identity on his back.
aKo3ylcl

tl;dr
Hitoshi throws out Gallade.
Gallade uses future sight to predict when claws will pop up and attack townsfolk. Goes to the scene, kills the claws before they grab people.
Primary Action: Attack the Poison Hands.
Secondary Action: Inspire the Peasantry.

Home.[break][break]

Except it isn't. Not really.[break][break]

Cillian finds himself in a Circhester blanketed in ash instead of snow. Where steam had once rose off the Hero's Bath, sludge now bubbles. There are walls and towers in the same approximation of Quinn Court, overlooking the ancient city from the mountain's foothills, but Cillian suspects he will not find home should he set foot upon the grounds.[break][break]

Still, he feels drawn to this place, these people. His people. Momentarily, the fervent search for Chien Pao and Zamazenta is forgotten. It is only the buzz of Rocket's communications in his ear that keeps him grounded to his own reality, as he takes his first shaky steps into a different one.[break][break]

SHADOW LUGIA bears none of his trepidation.[break][break]

She soars over the baths with a haunting cry, the kind to summon RAIN to wash away the ash and (hopefully) dilute the toxic sludge. In Hoenn, she was a monster, and Cillian her Harbinger. In this memory, in this Galar, they are both only here to HELP.[break][break]

Upon her back, hoping to avoid the toxic wave, Cillian clears his throat and speaks.[break][break]

"Have faith and courage!" His accent is at home here, even if his manner of dress does not match that of the peasantry. I am one of you he hopes to impart. Trust in me. "For your efforts here will awaken the Hero of Many Battles to drive out this poison!"[break][break]

Circhester.[break][break]

Genevieve remembers her mother's stories from here. When her mom was younger, this place was beautiful, once upon a time. A majestic home, where snow fell. If she had never met her husband, she had once told Genny she'd stay here, in Circhester, for her final days in retirement from her Ranger Duties. The Hero's Bath was one such trademark she loved at a young age...[break][break]

Genny could see why. At least, she could have, once.[break][break]

Her honed Ranger instincts are already with her, and the unfortunate truth of the matter is, on this ash-riddled home, that beauty was only a shadow of what it was, but the immediate shouts fill her ears, and Genevieve moves to do what is necessary, Dr. Rhythm on her tail, on all fours. Even if she wasn't ready, she could do this much. She could protect the people, even if it meant giving up her life.[break][break]

"Dr. Rhythm? Can you utilize your music to push the sludge waves, and divert it away from the barriers?" The Low-Amp Toxtricity gives a thumbs up, racing forward atop these palisade walls, sucking in a large gulping of air, and beginning to do just that, sounding out a BOOMBURST in an attempt to do just that.[break][break]

While Mr. Business, Serenity, and Bubbles were her first, Dr. Rhythm was her first friend she made by herself, by her own merit.[break][break]

But when she thinks back to Lady Bloom and Ms. Clean...[break][break]

Fear begins to overtake her.[break][break]

It hurts.
[break][break]
It hurts so much.
[break][break]
She tries to ignore the pain, a relic of the past that she would much rather be without, but it clings to her frostbitten arm like a shadow, always clinging to her back.
[break][break]
She rides further into the storm atop Radon, she can feel blood dripping through the cracks of the frozen limb and hitting the snow with a hiss, leaving a trail of red ribbon that binds her to the snow.
[break][break]
The storm begins to break as she rides through the dimensional tunnel that the king had forced upon her, she emerges alongside looking like absolute hell. Her arm is frozen so badly that there's no possibly saving it, a last gift from Chien-Pao before they had all been sucked into this fragmented dream, she can barely even move it as she dismounts her Scolipede and touches foot upon tainted grass.
[break][break]
"Hm. Not a fan of this place, very primitive." She remarks casually as she starts looking around for... something. Her associate shouts something about focusing on the poison, something about death fueling something or another. "You can save the weaklings yourself if you really want to. I'm busy." Xenon shoots back, her tone ice cold as she wanders off towards the nearby Pokemart.
[break][break]
CRACK. CRACK. CRACK. SMASH!
[break][break]
The pommel of her sword smashes right through the glass of the locked door as she smashes it over and over, clearing out a space big enough for her arm to fit through as she drops the blade and reaches through to unlock the door. It slides open with a bit of effort and Xenon walks right in, still looking for something... something... ah! There!
[break][break]
A minute later she walks back out with a backpack filled with medical supplies slung over her uninjured shoulder, crouching down to pick her sword back up as she walks back to where the rest of the group had emerged from. "Alright gang, good news and bad news. Good news is, I'll help you losers out with saving these worthless primitive dipshits. Bad news is, I'm pretty sure this arm is fucked! So after we're done, gonna need someone's help to cut it off. Such is life." There's little doubt she's serious if one takes even a cursory glance at the state of her right arm, the flesh is already undergoing necrosis from the cursed snow that Beast of Ruin had hit her with, if nothing was done than it was more than likely going to reach her heart before the day was up.
[break][break]
But that is that and this is this, without sparing another moment the girl points towards and whistles. "Radon, shake it up!" The Scolipede that stands at her side releases a series of clicking and hissing sounds in response, rushing forwards past the Rocket Beast and slamming its upper body into the ground, creating a massive Earthquake targeting as many of the venomous hands as it can in one fell sweep.

he's elated by the development of things. the setting and the atmosphere set it up for the story to be just what the high king wanted. a new ballad of heroes would be sung right after this.

as soon as he exits the portal, he lets go of . "you should stop doing that. we're winning this," he tells him. receives another word from kyle when he comes right after them. "ah, josh, you too! get your head in the game!"

both statements were said lightheartedly, as if excitement overpowers panic for the champion.

immediately after, he turns to for reasons unclear for anyone but kyle. "hey, you're like a boss, right?" an identity hidden behind a mask almost always means rocket, and solgaleo's reaction towards him suggests someone important. "you already know what i'm asking, right?"

he grins despite the grim situation as gears start turning in his head.




the center of the city becomes the hub of the operation. most of the citizens gather, with kyle busy with one hand in his phone, typing names out in spreadsheets, while the other holds the receiver for their comms system.

"yeah, yeah, don't worry about us doing most of the heavy lifting," he tells one peasant, a smile accompanying the lightheartedness of his tone. "people find this fun where we came from."

kyle's emerging hero complex has progressed into an ability to UPLIFT THE SPIRITS of willing people around him.


he turns to soon after. "people up north needs back up." he looks up the spreadsheet on his phone. "i think one of your people are nearby."

soon after, he taps in league's own comms. "if anyone spots suicune, that means cleanup is needed."

kyle can choose to make the ash manifest as raikou and suicune to aid him in battle. they will act as separate, additional entities in threads/events before fading away after a period of time.


kyle has dispersed both beasts for recon, both of which were instructed to escort any lost citizen back to the collective. every bit of assurance helps to build up the hope galar's inhabitants had lost.

terrakion stays with kyle as the last line of defense, though kyle knows it won't be needed. he trusts hoenn's own people to carry the objective out, no matter their faults.

tl;dr
  • sygna suit deactivated
  • location: hammerlocke city
  • starts a command center
  • summons suicune/raikou for peasant rescue
  • terrakion for security
  • 🐉INSPIRE THE PEASANTRY.

The teleportation beam delivered Zev to Hammerlocke before he could witness the funeral and burial. He stepped into a dreary city, the stone worn and weathered, ancient walls crumbling. Hammerlocke's famous castle loomed overhead, a dying sentinel failing to protect its people against the sludge.[break][break]

Much to Zev's surprise, addressed him as soon as they emerged from the portal. The Top Champion's offer, however, was even more surprising: work together to help the Galarian people.[break][break]

Zev considered Kyle's words for a long moment, weighing the pros and cons. Then he nodded. "Fine. But if anyone in the League attacks anyone in Rocket, we will defend ourselves," he promised.[break][break]

He was, ultimately, a practical man.[break][break]

The Beast tuned into the comms. "Attention all Rockets in Hammerlocke. This is Ghost. I've made a deal with the Top Champion, . We'll cooperate with the League for now, until we get back to our world. Defend yourselves if needed, but otherwise, don't fuck this up for the rest of us."[break][break]

Over the next several hours, Zev worked alongside Kyle, barking orders at the peasantry to set up defenses and arm themselves better. His Hatterene stalked by his side, using HEAL PULSE on the injured. He also coordinated actions over Rocket's comms if needed, but largely let his fellow operatives do as they saw fit.[break][break]

"Someone check out the north side of the city," Zev said into comms after Kyle gave his report. "See if there's anything that needs fixing."[break][break]
