The world around her had descended into a state that was well beyond chaos. She had earlier seen one of the men she had worked with during the expeditions in the Ultra Desert, but she had lost sight of him in the constellations of people who were getting involved andd the plethora of attacks that were flying everywhere.

It was a shame that someone she could have relied on had been separated from her (or more accurately that she had been separated from him), but now was not the time to let that get the best of her.

Within the smoldering chaos that was the clash between blades and shields raining down destruction, the young detective kept her eyes peeledd on the numerous phenomena happening all around her as she tried to keep herself in a safe spot, or at least a location she had calculated to be safe.

Between the damage and the black fragments she had kept her eyes on, she had almost missed the fact that her safe zone would no longer become safe anymore.

A sea of snow from on high threatened to engulf everything in its path. She, too, would be consumed if she didn't act now.

"Tiamat! Take us up and use Fire Blast to create a safe spot. MELT IT DOWN!"

The dragon carried her on its back as it let out a great blaze into the tempest of snow before them.

TL;DR:

• Elaine tries to observe from a distance to find an opening and reunite with the rest of the League
• Flygon carries Elaine and uses Fire Blast to carve out a safe spot in the Avalanche

A roaring Avalanche comes - but El is quick to take cover behind the Wide Guard that John Sullivan sets up. The shudder of ice and snow still chills one to the bone, though - and they are not keen on staying in one place. "Akero!"

At their call, a togekiss emerges - and they waste no time in settling into the fairy-type's saddle. She whistles cheerily, as if unable to read the room - wings briefly flapping as the duo rise upwards, just high enough to avoid danger.

El is unable to help a gentle smile at Akero's cheery mood. However, this was the time for action - and thus, the young ranger made their call. "Safeguard - we need to keep everyone safe!"

Akero trilled in acknowledgement, wasting no time getting to work. Swooping overhead, a glowing veil washed down from the togekiss' wings, to envelop and protect those fighting below!

Yet, even as Akero worked, El couldn't help but notice a number of moves coming Zamazenta's way - and for a moment, shock crossed their expression. Was that... from Rocket? What were they doing?!

TLDR / NOTES :
- El hides behind John Sullivan 's Wide Guard to avoid the Avalanche for a hot minute
- Uses opportunity to mount up on Togekiss and get out of the danger zone of the Avalanche, incase Wide Guard fails
- Togekiss uses Safeguard to protect as many people as possible, including Zamazenta
- El notices that there are Rocket members targeting Zamazenta directly and is shocked. Wonders wtf they're doing.

Ironic that a dog who sees himself as nothing but a sword finds himself close to a shield. Hitoshi’s only been in one battle before. There’s big dogs here on both sides, people trying to shift the tide back and forth. They want the big dumb shield dog. They want the big dumb sword cat. Cats and dogs, it’s a battle as old as time.[break]

As he slinks on the edge of the battle, watching, looking from person to person, he knows the role he has to play. It’s pointless for him to engage with the big bad legendary Pokemon himself. The world’s like a fog in his eyes, a fog of rage and fear. Picking his way through that fog, he scans for targets. Weak links. People on the right side of useful to the League and easy for him to pick off.[break]

He finally comes across a suitable target. There’s an avalanche coming for them. Barreling down on them like the inevitable hand of fate. Jubei, Hitoshi’s Ceruledge, is at his master’s side. Hitoshi hates this creature and all of his kind. There’s no such thing as a fair fight when there’s Pokemon. He wishes that he could just pull out his sword, get to swinging, and not have a thousand different annoying monsters get in his way.[break]

Finally, his eyes settle on one girl. Genevieve Cromwell . Hitoshi doesn’t know her name. He probably never will. She’s another target to him. Ironically, he bears her no malice. There is no hatred in his heart as he rushes the woman down in her professional suit, a madman dressed like an assassin. Ceruledge rushes ahead of him.[break][break]

While her Pokemon makes its wish, Jubei shows her the fate of most wishes. Reality is bitter. Wishes seldom come true. A message delivered at the point of his bitter blade.[break]

“Heeeey! Pleasure to meetcha! I love your suit. Can ya do me a favor and die quick?” He makes small talk like they’re meeting in a bar rather than a battlefield. He gets the words out as the Avalanche comes for him.
