Rusted Shield



Subdue four powerful Pokémon: two legendary dogs from the region of Galar, and two… beasts… that were what, rumoured to bring ruination to the world? That task seemed arduous enough, even before considering the League deciding to meddle in affairs. At least this was a large-scale operation… and with that in mind, Alba could only really influence half the war anyway.[break][break]

It was more like subduing two powerful Pokémon, then; much more manageable, especially when they were so intent on killing each other. Let them play off each other, whittling themselves down, keep the League from giving too much of a helping hand to their favoured beast… Balance the scales just right, and cleaning up the dregs at the end would be a breeze.[break][break]

The fight between titans was fascinating in its own right. A broken blade chipped away at a steadfast shield, flakes of metal falling to the ground as… well, as something. And as a helpful voice chirped in his ear, Alba's curiosity was piqued.[break][break]

"Grabbing some of those fragments, huh? Well, I'll do my best~" The Avalanche roared in his ears as it approached, but half a dozen people already stood against its tide. Another half a dozen embroiled themselves in attacking the cat and dog; why not let them handle things and indulge in his own wants for a while? Sending out his Musharna, at his command she attempted to use Psychic on some of the disparate shards of once-metal, trying to fetch them for her trainer.

Zamazenta was truly a sight to behold. While it was true he hadn't seen the legendary dog before, Colton would be hardpressed to say he couldn't identify it on sight. It certainly couldn't be the small, weasel-like creature with broken blades jutting out of its mouth like two vicious fangs, but that creature still remained a mystery. Perhaps it was one of the "creatures of ruin" the briefing on spoken on...

Speculating wasn't beneficial in that moment, however, as the Avanlache grew closer and Rockets from all around focused their attacks in on Zamazenta. Colton clicked one of the Pokeball's at his waist, Optimus appearing from it in a flash of red, standing tall and proud with its twinblade at its side. "Follow the paths everyone has cleared ahead through the Avalanche to get to Zamazenta,"he said, pointing towards the magnificent golden shield gleaming in the distance, the Iron Valiant's gaze following along until it settled on the legendary. "Once you're up there, use WIDE GUARD to defend it from all the attacks coming in!"

Optimus' digital eyes flashed twice in confirmation before it dashed off, gracefully running along the path built by others and even along the avalanche itself until it had reached Zamazenta. The neon liquid flowing around its body glowed bright as a large barrier formed around it, aiming to create a protective bubble over the legendary Pokemon. As for Colton, he was quick to scramble behind 's own Wide Guard.

TLDR:
- Colton sheltered behind the Wide Guard
- Iron Valiant used Wide Guard to defend Zamazenta

rusted shield,



Cyg hadn’t played the RVL game, she hadn’t been stuck in Cyberchase beating Hacker at his game… she really hadn’t done much of fucking anything, huh? [break][break]

She was elated to be present here, today, nestled amongst the whirring servos of Sima 2.0’s neck and carving an arc around the battlefield. was also up here with her, though he’d broken off for a different angle not too long ago. [break][break]

“What you mean rookies?” Cyg sneered across the airwaves to . “You’re a big boy, now, Neon Fresh! Get in there.” [break][break]

And get in there he does, booping away with a teleport and heading for the cave that both sword and shield doggo were defending. [break][break]

and radioed that they were heading for the cave, too. Cyg hummed a note, thinking (which was a surprise for all parties involved, let me tell you). If they all jumped the gun and went flying for the cave… they’d get stoppered up like kombucha gas in a glass bottle, fit to explode. [break][break]

She didn’t really fucking understand the angle of attacking the shield doggo, either, because in her mind it seemed like the good guy in this scenario? This is only seconded by the avalanche the frosty Rikki-Tikki-Tavi calls down. It strikes protect bubbles and rattles off of psychics and Cyg gets a firsthand view of rolling in on the Big Green Machine and lighting everything up.[break][break]

“Holy shit,” she breathes, as the air is choked with smoke and flame and the ash smears itself across the black inverted heart painted across her face. “That was the coolest thing I’ve ever fucking seen.” [break][break]

Never one to miss out on the action, she whoops excitedly and drives Sima down towards the snow weasel, firing off a tri-attack as she dives in towards it. [break][break]

The whole operation was overwhelming. Capture four legendary Pokémon? While fighting off the League? It was insane, it was madness. Yet, Kaname Fujihara was counted amongst the Team Rocket grunts present and accounted for this operation. Masked up and adrenaline pumping, he rushed onto the battlefield. [break][break]



Here be gods and monsters.[break][break]



A lithe feline and bulky canine clashed as voices warbled from his earpiece. “Got it.” A curt reply into the comms as he turned his focus on the legendaries. He scanned the area, taking in the scars upon the land and the rubble. It appeared the battle may have been going on for some time; if they were lucky maybe the shield-bearing dog, Zamazenta, and the icy feline will have tired themselves out some. However, there seemed to be no real sign of them slowing down.[break][break]



Overhead, a great green serpent roared with a fury so loud that it rattled Kaname’s bones. Another god joins the fray as an avalanche of snow and ice manifests overtop of the battlefield.[break][break]



There is little time to think, and no time for hesitation. The serpentine god exhaled gout after gout of flame into the oncoming ice and snow, but any remaining clumps would still be devastating to be struck by. [break][break]



Kaname pulled a dark sphere from his belt and the pressed button, releasing from her pokeball a lilac colored Hatterene close by. “Protect us!” The Hatterene obliges, grabbing the scientist with her singular hand and pulling him in closer as a spherical force field appears around them, hopefully absorbing the impact of crushing snowfall. [break][break]

Another warfront. It was Littleroot all over again.[break][break]
Back then (had it really only been a few months ago?), Caleb had wanted nothing more than to prove himself to his fellow Rangers, convince people like that he really was willing to fight against Team Rocket despite his past. Now? Now he merely felt exhausted, beaten down by what had recently transpired between the League and Rocket in the Ultra Deep Sea.[break][break]
By what he had done to .[break][break]
He did not see his brother amidst the crowd of League and Rocket forces that had arrived at Route 120, but that didn't mean Zev wasn't there. A part of Caleb wanted to find him, make sure he was really okay after their recent altercation; another part - a much stronger and louder part - urged him to avoid Zev at all costs.[break][break]
Zev was the reason his name was back on the Rocket hit list, after all.[break][break]
There were more pressing matters, however, than worrying about Zev. For one, a massive AVALANCHE was heading directly towards Caleb and those around him. The legendary creature with the ice fangs had conjured it, and the towering wall of thick snow seemed to emanate an oppressive aura that made Caleb feel...[break][break]
Angry. Hateful.[break][break]
What sort of man stabs his own brother? You haven't changed. Leaving Kanto made no difference. You're the same fuck-up that you've always been. The same despicable coward who was willing to kill for a totalitarian regime. And for what? FOR WHAT?[break][break]
"STOP!" He screamed at the sudden onslaught of hatred from the vitriolic voice inside his head. He should run, get away from the avalanche, but his feet wouldn't move. Beside him, Kuma rumbled with concern.[break][break]
Taking matters into his own hands - literally - the Urshifu began to charge with power, raising his fist against the avalanche. As he did so, a massive plume of red hot fire rained down from the sky, clearing a path through the ice and snow. As the resulting steam cleared, Caleb's gaze was drawn to a younger man in a strange suit with an extremely familiar eye patch ... hair color ... gait ... demeanor ...[break][break]
"Isaac," he breathed, absolute certainty coloring his tone. Hate gave way to fear. Not again. Isaac shouldn't be wrapped up in this! A fierce determination surged through him. As Kuma COUNTERED the avalanche, Caleb began to run towards .[break][break]

HATRED fills the air with the putrid aftertaste of FEAR. Though others may be sickened by these emotions, however, this was not the first time had endured as such. It was that hatred— and yes, that fear— that had brought upon the rise and success of ANVIL INC. It was the reason he was here today as Team Rocket's CO-CAPTAIN of SPECTRA.

And what greater opportunity to study AVATARS and LEGENDARIES than on the field and in combat? Riding upon the back of his HISUIAN SAMUROTT, the mercenary enters the fray with his sights set on ZAMAZENTA. An AVALANCHE summoned by CHIEN-PAO diverts that attention, however, and he watches with a toothy smirk as descends from the sky upon her RAYQUAZA.

"Hope somebody caught that on film." He remarks over ROCKET COMMS.

Nothing quite like a beautiful woman asserting her dominance to get him riled up and ready to go.

Taking advantage of the path she has cleared with her dragon's flames, however, Belial is sure to steer his Hisuian Samurott through it before unlatching a HARPOON GUN from his back. As they close in on Zamazenta, the mercenary hops off and orders a CEASELESS EDGE. He readies his gun for the opportune moment as he observes his Samurott attempt to attack the shielded canine with its razer sharp shell.

Not every day you get to gaze upon a battlefield of titans.
[break][break]
When the news broke of a distress call of legendary refugees from Galar, it was all hands on deck. Rangers or not, if you've proven capable of defending yourself, they might need your expertise. Even athletes abandon their tracks and boots to serve their region in war. That's how you lose an entire generation of youths.
[break][break]
Hunkering down behind the erected wide guard, Lucas eyes the devastation before him. He's a gym trainer, which means he should at least be an auxiliary in the gathered militia. At a glance, he's perhaps only one of the youths sent here to die.
[break][break]
Well, Death needs to take the ball first.
[break][break]
On his side, Zico looks positively ecstatic. Beyond the coming avalanche, the sea of flames, and the mad descending from the skies, there's only one target in his vision: the snow weasel.
[break][break]
At least he's thinking big.
[break][break]
Wordlessly, Lucas doesn't need to second-guess what his oldest partner is up to. He can't blame him. He'd understand when facing an overwhelmingly strong team in the stadium, beelining to face the opposing team's ace is what he'd done.
[break][break]
"Yo." The avalanche's howling winds and general chaos threatened to drown his voice, but he knew his partner could hear him. "Long ball?"
[break][break]
He can make out the grin on the bunny's face. Long ball it is.
[break][break]
Taking advantage of the path the flames created, the Cinderace leaps over the wide guard. His leg outstretched back before recoiling forward, delivering a powerful kick. The flames converge on the space where the kick's energy collides with the void of space, producing a ball of flame that flies straight in the direction of the snow weasel.
[break][break]
As he lands back, Zico and his trainer observe the long pass behind the barrier. Would it hit? Doubtful. Should it hit, though? Well, it would be a bit embarrassing for the furball, wouldn't it?

She never expects to be running off from the avalanche in the ancient tomb, but her Greninja who was with her worries about her safety and carries her. Kotaro uses his speed to avoid most of the falling rocks as the ninja frog uses the cleared up path to get to where Chien Pao and Zamazenta were opposing each other in their battle. Since most of her other senior rocket co-workers were targeting the Zamazenta and not the icy cat, she decides to have her Greninja help out the Zamazenta gang-up.[break][break]

“Kotaro, think you can use Hydro Pump on that oversized dog?” Luce says over to her Greninja as the frog nods after setting her down to a safe place. Kotaro sends a strong torrent of water steaming from his mouth over to the armored dog Pokemon. Well, some of those in the league would be annoyances to deal with when they were stopping the Rockets from reaching their goal.[break][break]

Gerald stood at the forefront, gazing upon the two beasts of legends partaking in battle.

Clad in his usual combat gear, mask hiding his face. He was as ready as could be. By his side a Pokémon hovered, its robotic wings moving about readying itself as much as possible as it zeroed in on their objective for the mission.

“Aim for the dog.” Gerald commanded, following the beat of other Rockets to help the Ruinous beast in its battle. Perhaps even blind to the indifferent Avalanche that Chien-pao would bathe the battlefield in.

Iron Moth was quick to gather fiery energy at the tips of its wings, before letting it fly as a FIERY DANCE toward the Zamazenta.

TLDR:
- Gerald decides to attack the Zamazenta
- Iron Moth fires a FIERY DANCE at Shield dog.

“What a mess.”

That was literally an understatement as he sighed. Just what the hell had he gotten himself into?! Fact of the matter was that he saw at least two of the things that he’d encountered in that strange game—and there was a huge wall of snow headed their way—

“Honestly…”

He had to be quick on the draw, because holy shit on a rust bucket if he didn’t do something he’d be fucking engulfed by the ice! Summoning his most capable companion, Cordy, he knew he had to do what had to be done.

“Take a look into the future, let me know if you see anything.”

And while the Absol concentrated on picking out something tangible that has yet to happen via Future Sight, he thought he saw a flash of flaming red hair and thought, What’s he doing here?! Isn’t this like, a madhouse or something? before attempting to make his way over to where the redhead was.

Frigid air stung at his eyes as , astride his dark-scaled CHARIZARD, cut through the air beside . They sped toward the battlefield to join ROCKET and LEAGUE combatants alike, narrowly avoiding the AVALANCHE caused by CHIEN-PAO.[break][break]

"Got it." The admin confirmed as Zev peeled off from their formation, directing his attentions onto ZAMAZENTA. Barnaby did the opposite, steering his mount to the other side of the field where CHIEN-PAO spat hateful, furious snarls at human and Pokémon alike.[break][break]

With a sharp whistle Lucien shifted closer and released a plume of SMOKESCREEN toward the Ruinous Beast — an attempt to stun or stall the cat long enough for others to land successful blows.[break][break]

Unlike many present near Route 120's ANCIENT TOMB, Josh had familiarity with both the giant snow feline and the shield-faced canine. His trip inside the Cloud, the day he saw the apocalypse happen, the day he almost watched Saber die... it was a day he would never forget. He had saved from the wrath of Zacian once. This time, though, it seemed like the Galarian legendary Pokémon were on their side.

The ice-type was one Josh was familiar with, too, having met a facsimile of the maddeningly fast Pokémon at The Border. His battle with his own shadow had nearly taken his life, the very SYGNA SUIT he was wearing having protected him from being buried in snow multiple times. The shadow referred to the Chien-Pao as Akuji. Was that the Pokémon's name? No matter. This was a golden opportunity. The rider's lust for speed drove him to make this creature, ruinous as it may be, his own.

...Or would have been, were it not for 's orders. Had he not been on thin ice, he would have broken ranks and attempted capture, not knowing the ruinous cat was a god. A creature that simply could not be confined to a Poké Ball. Though he lacked the strength of an Avatar, he did have one advantage: raw speed.

Not once in Josh's entire battle at The Border did "Akuji" use a speed-enhancing move. That was going to be the ticket to making himself useful. The way his SYGNA SUIT worked, Josh was able to draw the maximum yield of INFINITY ENERGY from it only while in his Manectric's thundercloud saddle. Though he had left his dream behind at 's, 's, and 's behest, it felt wrong to remove one of his few remaining memories of that past life.

Excited and JOLLY for the first battle his new self would experience, Josh ordered a fast-as-a-Johto-Beast QUICK ATTACK from his trusty steed. With INFINITY ENERGY flowing from the repaired SYNC STONE deep within his suit, electricity arced wildly among Saber's paws, lunging with blistering speed toward the ruinous ice-type. While they only aimed to land a glancing blow and dash out of reach, much like a jousting lancer, the purpose of the attack was to serve as a decoy and open up attacks for the League's heavier hitters. Perhaps the Manectric could outrun the AVALANCHE and get on the other side of it before it fell on top of him.




sU|C0zUY

- Josh arrives on site and recognizes both Zacian and Chien-Pao, but not by name.
- Josh wants to catch the Chien-Pao for himself, but has second thoughts when he remembers Dahila's orders and that he is on thin ice with the League still.
- Josh orders his JOLLY Manectric to QUICK ATTACK into and around Chien-Pao to serve as a decoy.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Hatred is a troubling emotion. It eats at you, ravenous in its consumption, gnawing on flesh until its rubbed into bone.

It was how, on the battlefield of numbing hatred and rattling fear, the admin of defense entered without his own form of armor. Emotion twisted his expression and veins twitched both on his neck and hands.

"Copy," his voice growled back into the mic; a signal to both and . "Gallade."

His ace took arms beside him, blades whetted by the heat of battle erupting all around them. An avalanche was coming, and unlike those floating high above, there was little to be done to avoid its icy grasp.

"Gallade, Wide guard!"

With one command, a large sweeping shield took up the outline of those rockets within Felix's vicinity. Its spanning reach looked to not only block the incoming snow, but provide cover to attack the ruinous beast before them.
- felix is full of HATRED RN (to who? hehe more will come soon)
- gallade is out and uses WIDE GUARD to defend against the avalanche

Luka might not be very smart, but at least she knows how to follow orders.[break][break]
It’s usually better to let others do the thinking for her anyways. She acknowledges and turns all her attention towards the dog— support is what she knows best, after all.[break][break]
She’s prepared to throw up some protection or offer healing, but their opponents have other plans. ”Heal block that Zamazenta!” she hears someone shouting, ”Don’t let it receive any aid!”[break][break]
Well that won’t do at all! Quickly, and thinking faster than she ever has in her life, Luka throws out a Love Ball to release the Whimsicott inside. She doesn’t know if the pair of them can act fast enough, but in order to protect this giant dog, they have to try.[break][break]
Her little sheep’s prankster ability comes in especially handy, allowing her to move far more swiftly that she normally might. The taunt that follows is aimed directly for the Sylvally that is targeting Zamazenta, preventing it from doing anything that might interfere with the League’s plans.[break][break]
The avalanche that descends upon them is another matter entirely, but there’s nothing she can do about that. All she can do is hope that her allies have her covered, and that her sygna suit can help mitigate most of the damage.[break]

She didn't require an entourage. The peculiar mollusk-esque Pokemon at her side was all the company she needed.[break][break]

Her face was unmasked. The presence of her Ruinous Beast was not hidden from sight.[break][break]

Of those present, perhaps only would recognize it in full for the monster that it was. It would be witnessed for the first time by the likes of , , , , , and , among others.[break][break]

Though the upper brass of Rocket would know its name: Wo-chien.[break][break]

Elisabeth invited the inevitable confrontation of this conflict. Embraced it, even, with a thrill that soared in her with an intensity as potent as the HATRED that lingered over the field of battle.[break][break]

"Legendaries die like any other Pokemon," the underboss said over the Rocket communications, her voice level and calm as she recalled the image of the dead Celebi shriveled on the floor of the Petalburg Woods. "Don't let them intimidate you."[break][break]

A smirk drew across her lips as she watched this feline creature -- Chien-Pao -- slash its bladed fangs against the Zamazenta's shield, putting it on the defensive.[break][break]

"Especially when one seems intent on helping us subdue the other."[break][break]

The disdain and loathing aimed by the others present towards this Ruinous Beast washed over Elisabeth as she watched the scene unfold, fueling her with a wave of resentment as a thought crystallized in her mind:[break][break]

"They hate us for what we are, too. Let them."
[break]

Twin ochre eyes narrowed in on the struggling canine beast, their stalks peering over the crowd as tendrils of dark energy coalesced around its mossy shell. As this grudge built inside of Elisabeth like a pyre awaiting a match, her deity glowed with renewed fervor, resulting in a RUINATION that sought to complete what its hateful cousin started.[break][break]

"Don't mistake this respite as compassion. We will ruin one first, then the other."
[break]

As the spectacle distracted eyes towards the battle between the mythical creatures, a subtle tremor shook through the ground underfoot. Moments later, thick and horrible vines with snap-jawed flowers burst out through the snow-laden ground, seeking to capture the DARK FRAGMENTS that fell all around them like shards of black rain.[break][break]

elisabeth's moods can now affect the natural world around her. notably, feelings of resentment and bitterness suck the life out of nearby flora and allow toxic and dangerous plants to grow in their stead; these can be manipulated and wielded by her to devastating effect.
[break][break]

[break][break]

TLDR:[break]
  • WE ARE UNMASKED AND THRIVING!
  • Elisabeth reminds Rockets on comms that Legendaries die like anyone else (RIP Celebi).
  • Wo-chien is OUT and ABOUT and using RUINATION on ZAMAZENTA! (But don't worry Chien-Pao, you're next on our list.)
  • Elisabeth is trying to use nasty plant vines to capture the DARK FRAGMENTS!
  • Fueling our GRUDGES with the presumed HATRED of everyone here towards the Ruinous Beasts! Mm, tasty...
