Rusted Shield



Chaos erupted around Alba, as heroes and villains butted heads in pursuit of their own agendas. He was part of that chaos too, of course, it was just that he was a little distracted with a side project before the main event. His prize, the little black shards, fell neatly into his hand before being stowed away in a safe place. Something to take a closer look at later on.[break][break]

Mercifully, the scientist was close enough to to be able to take shelter under his Wide Guard, though as it turned out the avalanche was only the beginning of their trouble. Some weird move was used on the canine's shield, and with a vile sense of vertigo…[break][break]

According to some random people's yelling, they were in Galar, or at least a very good simulation of the Crown Tundra. But was the region meant to feel like an hours-old corpse? Had it fallen into this much disrepair, or was this the result of unfathomable hatred blending together with local legend?[break][break]

The world still spun. Musharna used Calm Mind to focus herself against whatever new dangers this unknown snowscape had in store for them.[break][break]

Someone ( ) perked up on comms asking for the black fragments; as if Alba would just hand them over so willingly. If he wanted them that badly, he could wait his turn. Or maybe some other, more generous soul would keep him happy?[break][break]

It was still chaos, of course, but mostly the chaos of people licking their wounds, and threatening each other with their swords. It wasn't until attacked that fists really started to fly—[break][break]

Oh, it's him, huh. Saying he was filled with hate when he saw the freak bastard who nearly killed him wasn't quite right. It was more like he was feeling someone else's hate that had pointed itself towards the easiest target, leaving him disconnected from that violent emotion.[break][break]

If Musharna wasn't busy, he'd have probably taken a shot at killing him as well. Instead, he'd have to settle for watching him get vaporised on the sidelines.

NOTES


Currently concealing his identity with a mask.[break]
Musharna uses Calm Mind because 🤓 cooler heads prevail guys[break]
That's basically it he's just watching because he's s rat and I just woke up

Good, good, she was able to make herself at least somewhat useful with that Tailwind and managed to not get run over by the avalanche. All in all this was a very successful endeavour so far. But that was bound to change. One could call her a cynic, but honestly, she just assumed that things would just go completely off the rails as always. That had utterly frustrated her during the previous large scale operations, but by now she had reached a consensus with herself. Do not try to anticipate the nature of weirdness, but anticipate things going awfully wrong at any moment. She did not spend every second wondering when it would hit as she navigated the chaos surrounding them, but she kept herself expectant all the same.
[break][break]
This could never be as easy as fighting one, two legendary Pokemon alongside the League (in either sense of the words, really). The avalanche had been the first indicator, but it was too harmless for that. No, something else was bound to happen. It was just her assumption, given how many legendary Pokemon were throwing down all her. And it was not exactly wrong.
[break][break]
In fact, she gave out a jubilant little yelp when it actually did happen – and when she found herself at least somewhat prepared for the weather. After that eternal winter thing, she had decided to wear gear to these incidents that could take at least some kind of heat. One could always take off clothes to deal with sudden desert, but conjuring them from thin air was a no go. Plus, well, she was used to the cold anyway.
[break][break]
Some chatter over the comms got her to focus on the present again. Yes. Regroup and try to work out what was going on. She could see the statue in the distance, furrowed her brow at what she heard regarding that. It was probably not a great idea to potentially involve more legendaries by angering them with statue-smashing, but it would be a fool’s errand to try and stop that now, and from afar. Plus, she was alone. Mostly. Violet finally got up from the pile of snow near a tree that she had fallen onto, but not been buried by, and as she looked further around, she noticed a flame. A Pokemon, fire type, alongside a smaller frame, likely the trainer.
[break][break]
Frosmoth was already hovering nearby, fixated at the people coming. But fire was a bad matchup for that one, so she recalled it and instead brought out her Spiritomb. “Get ready. Unless I tell you to stop, hide behind the tree, come out and Sucker Punch the Pokemon.” She was not going to risk it. She’d gotten lucky to have been somewhat covered by the tree being between her and the incoming, but she was rather certain that she had been spotted by now regardless. There was League about, so it was likely she would be attacked. Seemed smart to prepare a trap as she got into full view, assuming a wide stance with crossed arms as she awaited the other to come closer.
[break][break]
As that one did, Violet did not take long to recognize her. Elaine. Cute, someone she wanted to get along with better. But also a detective. It would be too hard to try and play off the civilian in distress in this case. Briefly, she sighed, glad to have come here with a mask. Yeah, this would probably have to go the rough way. But that would be fine as long as she did not lose. Yes, she just had to win and her cover would remain intact. Really simple. Hence, she did not rescind the order of the Sucker Punch but instead resolved to fight her friend. Part of being a professional and compulsive liar was to accept the reality of potentially having to double down on lies in a bad way to not have to face consequences. Plus, she wasn’t going to go after Elaine directly. Pokemon were made to fight, they fought of their own volition.
[break][break]They had no one to blame about getting hurt but themselves. Not Vio at least. No, she was just going with what needed to happen. This was definitely not her fault.

She didn’t realize whose Pyro Ball used her opening at first, or that Michelangelo’s attack had even been used as the basis for an opening until it happened.[break][break] The Sword of Ruin took the attack directly, merely hissing in response. Despite not knowing much about the creature at all, Rhydia could tell it was of a different class, simply from that kind of reaction as well as the avalanche coming towards her still.[break][break]

It was a magnificent piece of scenery all on its own, even without acknowledging the descent of gods and monsters across the battlefield. A single wall of nature’s wrath was thrown towards all of them, callously threatening to bury each an every interloper in a conflict they’d only just arrived to try and control.[break][break]

Beauty like this was hard to come by naturally, as it was something only war could typically create.[break][break]

The Nidoking moved for its trainer, her eyes to fixated on the magnificence of the falling snow and ice around her to move to defend herself.[break][break]

Thus, it did it for her, gruffly wrapping her in a single magenta arm while it braced itself to take the falling avalanche to the back.[break][break]

When Chien-Pao’s Ruination falls upon the Rusted Shield, a single heartbeat is all Rhydia hears before the ice hits, and the world goes black…
[break]

It’s more snow that she awakens to, surprisingly. Snow and… well, almost a corpse. ”You’re too durable to die from something like that… aren’t you? Rest then, you’ll see another canvas.” She taps her pokeball onto the skull of the Nidoking buried in snow, whispering a quiet thank you to the pokémon for allowing her alone to witness the state it was left in.[break][break]

Rocket’s communications are in an uproar, likely do to the league’s handiwork and the absurdity of the situation. Shifting from Hoenn to Galar in such a short time was… well she wasn’t sure of the timeframe, honestly, she simply knew it occurred.[break][break]

”Let’s see where this goes…” She releases a gathering of esoteric shapes and wings into the air with a flick of another pokeball, and sends her Sigilyph off into the skies in the cover of the chaos, following behind it on the path towards a popular target. She spots a familiar face along the way, but can’t find the time to talk to , as her vacuous gaze is settled only onto one person.[break][break]

The one behind the newly shining sun above them all, .
[break][break]


Pokémon + Tagging/TLDR Here[break][break]

Mb6KezJH[break][break]











TL;DR - Nidoking Faints![break]
- Sigilyph is sent out, flying towards Matias and Groudon.[break]
- Rhydia’s jogging kinda, but she’s using the snow as a cover.

INVESTIGATION



Many attempt to scour the snowlands surrounding the abandoned courtyard. Warmed by the light of her CERULEDGE, attempts to discover clues. hides in the snow for her—and should the detective come near, she would surely have a decisive advantage… if the trap is not derailed by an event unforeseen.[break][break]

communicates with fellow League trainers—those who are tuned into the same frequency. Although everyone has been warped into a different world, oddly, their technology works. Like , would see the barren wood, the rugged mountainous terrain leading up to their location. Everyone is high up on this mountain—and from this vantage point, the two would be able to see the ruined, dilapidated town of Freezington far below at this mountain’s base. Likewise, discovers no threats. Warmed by his INCINEROAR’S innate heat, he can see that same ravaged Freezington.[break][break]



attempts to seek paths out of this realm. Surely, it can’t be as easy as flying over to Hoenn, could it? Primal energy. Ultra Wormholes. Teleportation. It is difficult to discern, From the sky, she can see what appears to be glowing, poisonous slop smothering stretches of land. Throughout the kingdom, through the frigid haze, she can see the incandescence of bright magenta beams.[break][break]

There are no signs of ZAMAZENTA or CHIEN-PAO. Even ’s LUNATONE can not scry where they are. Its FUTURE SIGHT fails here like many others’ attempts. Perhaps, this world operates beyond the threshold of temporality and space.[break][break]



As snow crunches beneath his feet, encounters calling upon his SMEARGLE. The Engineer would bear witness to the Top Champion’s science experiment: a SPATIAL REND tearing into the world’s quilt. As the weaker iteration of PALKIA’S power etches pink scars of light into the air, both and would notice that the scars “fill in themselves” with a murky blackness. Like an inky smoke. The hue reminds them of the CHIEN-PAO’s ruinous attack that delivered them into the shield. Both would be able to surmise that this is no alternate universe, dimension, or plane. Rather, this seems to be a lethean labyrinthe far removed from the prying eyes of The DRK Triad—and of the Alpha Pokemon’s innumerous hands.[break][break]

The repair is also imperfect. The reconstructed space is foggy, like a dream that is impossible to remember in full.[break][break]

Although can not find any black fragments of the shield ZAMAZENTA had wielded, she is warmed by the hearth of TALONFLAME. Around the courtyard, where the statue stands in the center of, the two would be able to find a scribbled note:

𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖋𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖒𝖆𝖘𝖙'𝖗'𝖘 𝖇𝖚𝖈𝖐𝖑𝖊𝖗 𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖘 𝖎𝖓 𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖓𝖊. 𝖎𝖓 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍, 𝖜𝖊 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖋'𝖗𝖌𝖊𝖙 𝖎𝖙𝖘 𝖘𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖞. 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖙𝖍 𝖕𝖑𝖆𝖌𝖚𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖑𝖒 𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖔𝖝𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖕𝖘𝖞𝖈𝖍𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖒𝖊𝖓[break][break]

OOC: please dispense this information to other characters.


TEAM ROCKET’S OPERATIVES survey the wintry mountainside too. The Galarian cold nips at any exposed skin like sharp Carvanha teeth.[break][break]



and unite with and his FIRAGARIF. joins him too, their TOGEKISS keeping them warm. Though can find no RUSTED SHIELD—after all, to fathom that a world should exist within a physical object is an idea perhaps too ludicrous—Quinn’s husband can only find an old piece of parchment. The penmanship is scratchy, blotchy. Done by the rough edge of a quill. It says:

𝖙𝖍'𝖗𝖊 𝖎𝖘 𝖓𝖆𝖞 𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖙 𝖋'𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖇𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐 𝖐𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙. 𝖜𝖊 𝖉𝖔𝖙𝖍 𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖙𝖍 𝖎𝖋 '𝖙 𝖇𝖊 𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖊 𝖙 𝖎𝖘 𝖈𝖔𝖚𝖘𝖎𝖓 '𝖗 𝖋𝖔𝖊. 𝖊𝖛'𝖗𝖞 𝖇𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊𝖙𝖍 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖍 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖘𝖐𝖊𝖑𝖊𝖙𝖔𝖓 𝖉𝖔𝖊𝖘𝖙 𝖒'𝖗𝖊 𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖓 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉𝖊[break][break]

OOC: please dispense this information to other characters.


By the same group, ’s SHADOW LUGIA makes its presence known. As the Underboss communicates to those tuned in onto the same Rocket frequency, joins him on METAGROSS. and too, though the former attempts to go down the side of the mountain. She would find that should she continue to travel forth, that there is no “end” to this “illusion”. If it is an illusion, that is. She would surmise that continuing to go on alone would not be a good idea.[break][break]



Nearby if not entirely beside the aforementioned group, would conclude his search too. Underneath a stubborn rock, seemingly frozen solid despite the absence of ice, he finds a SHED FEATHER OF PURPLE. Similarly, would discover a similar feather in the courtyard: coincidentally the highest point in this frozen tundra.


CALM BEFORE THE STORM



UPON UXIE’S GUIDANCE, moves toward the statue. On his way, he encounters , whose CHANSEY offers healing. As they step on frozen-worn stone, is alerted to or steps on a half-eaten ICEROOT CARROT...[break][break]

Warmed by his INCINEROAR, advances into the forgotten shrine with . However, as more and more bodies funnel into the courtyard, their fates become increasingly entwined like string. But this is no red yarn. No fairytale gossamer. Instead, it is the thick cordage of an explosive’s fuse. Though this may be another region, another kingdom, Hoenn’s trainers are territorial creatures of habit.[break][break]

already senses the rise in tension. His IRON MOTH swirls with fire—but to commence a performance this prematurely means a rushed script. A skipped scene. From his preparations, he unknowingly advances the conflict further.[break][break]



Likewise, ’s MUSHARNA steadies itself too. A CALM MIND is a precursor to survival—but a mind numbed by too serene a composure can be cursed by a SLOW START. and his HATTERENE, cooled by the healing of a LIFE DEW enter the courtyard too, unaware of the factional fuse that has already been lit.[break][break]


INTERVENTION



Others reunite with each other after the warp. A rather bitter and her friend, , join on the slope after the former is dug up by her HISUIAN ZORUA. Snow sloughs off of their clothes as and his PYROAR dash by.[break][break]

extends the small black particulate gathered from the RUSTED SHIELD to . When touched by the Rocket Beast, they absorb into his body. It is a chilling feeling to have cold metal sink into the skin—but the sensation is acclimated to immediately. As if this was meant to be. Smaller parts of a greater whole coming together. It is now unmistakable. The RUSTED SHIELD appears to have some connection to NECROZMA, itself.[break][break]

The Mauville Gym Leader finds a burdened by a delay in mourning and a sprained ankle. Soon after, arrives too. Her GARDEVOIR is quick to assist her with a well-aimed HEAL PULSE alongside ’s LUCARIO. [break][break]

The hurt Alolan is showered with further healing; the last dosage of mending from is the final ingredient to mitigate her sprain. A LIFE DEW descends upon the entire group.[break][break]

Though it is cold, ’s LAPRAS heals fatigue and bodily harm remembered by the avalanche on Route 120. By the crowd of recuperators, and receive the aid too. Droplets grace the latter’s hair and skin after she is dug out by her compassionate dullard of a GOLURK.[break][break]



However, peace is not to be had for long. A disguised lands by DRAGONITE as the Pokemon attempts to strike ’s ORBEETLE. Misinterpreting the former gym leader’s powers as hostile motions, the man aims to protect his ilk.[break][break]

Similarly, rushes to protect who stands beside a troupe of Rockets. With her MEGA LAPRAS in tow, she asks them to get back and away from threats such as , and .[break][break]

However, their respective conflicts can not find proper resolution. An incredible explosion erupts from the summit. Old stone is blasted apart. Like falling stars, they soar down the slope and smash the ice-dried trunks of weary trees.[break][break]

narrowly avoids a hurtling brick thanks to his observant watch as a DROUGHT (SUNNY DAY) forms overhead.


THE CROWN SHRINE



WHEN TOSSES HIS LIT CIGARETTE, he does not expect it to explode the trough. But it does. Sort of. Timed perfectly like an action movie and lit perfectly by the convenience of a GROUDON’S DROUGHT—except with the slight issue of there being no insurance.[break][break]

Indeed, as soon as the stick lands the STATUE & TROUGH are speared through by ’s PRECIPICE BLADES. The pillars crack with molten scars before erupting as blossoms of explosive flame.[break][break]



would have seen what the statue looked like—an odd bunny-like royal mounted proudly on a GLASTRIER—moments before its destruction. [break][break]

Large masses of snow are drawn into the air. Beckoned by ’s BEEHEYEM, they manage to block some of the wood shrapnel and chipped cobblestone to protect the Rocket Beast so close to where the trough once was. Despite the memory of the illuminated eve he shared with once upon a time—the sheer force of GROUDON’S AVATAR burns away such pleasantries.[break][break]

Thankfully, ’s DOUBLADE’S SPRINGTIDE STORM manages to salvage the statue’s decapitated head while protecting from the rest of the splintered torpedoes. [break][break]

While PHANTOM FORCES with his SPECTRIER, initially, the prospect of escape seems certain. Obvious. However, ’s SHADOW TOGEPI activates it SHADOW LUCK. The invisible forces of probability twist and churn to shed mortal action from chance. The Admin finds himself in danger as the SPECTRIER’S PHANTOM FORCE lags. [break][break]



A WHIMSICOTT’S GRASSWHISTLE is sung toward ’s DRAGAPULT as ’s SHADOW TOGEPI returns. The DRAGAPULT FALLS ASLEEP as a sun-powered SOLAR BEAM is immediately loosed. When the DRAGAPULT’S HEAD slumps in slumber, the trajectory of the beam careens off-course and forces away from his high ground as more of the ruins are blown apart.[break][break]

and join their WIDE GUARDS together. Javelins of stone clatter and crumble against their TOXAPEX & GALLADE’S defenses. [break][break]

’s GROUDON manages to impede the WO-CHIEN’S GIGA DRAIN with the remainder of its PRECIPICE BLADES—but it knows to be weary of that withered mass of dead foliage. It bears a similar scent to that of ’s CHI-YU, after all.[break][break]



The GIGA DRAIN & MISFIRED SOLAR BEAM is distraction enough. Upon ’s command, launches toward with . The former’s Herculean figure descends first—and as a XERNEAS’S MOONBLAST rocks the entire courtyard, a CHILLING NEIGH cuts through the chaos like a sword alongside a shrill cry.


CALYREX


“CROW OWN… CRAAAA… ROWCROWN!”
[break][break]

Suddenly, , , , , and are lifted into the air. Their bodies are engulfed by a PSYCHIC ENERGY as their limbs fall limp by their sides. Their respective Pokemon stop attacking, pushed back by the same incredible power.[break][break]

A CALYREX dashes in on its GLASTRIER, its green fur billowing behind it like an arboreal cape. The jaws of the floating trainers begin to move... They act as a haunting chorus: a mouthpiece for the CALYREX.[break][break]

“who dares destroy the effigy of the king of bountiful harvests… the last of its kind!”[break][break]

The voices of the five trainers meld together. They speak in almost perfect unison.[break][break]

“it was the only thing holding my affliction back…”[break][break]

Upon closer examination, the CALYREX’S HEAD looks severely injured. Its bulbous green crown-like bud is rotting on one side. Inside, the WHITE PISTIL is withering, peeling away from poison.[break][break]



It sees the decapitated head of its statue. With a sigh, the CALYREX releases , , , and . They would remember what the CALYREX had said through their tongues. The WOODEN CALYREX HEAD is lifted into the air, its head hollowing out for air to billow through it like a perverse woodwind. The CALYREX speaks through it instead, the manufactured voice unnerving and unnatural as air whistles through the sculpture.[break][break]

“i sense you are not of this memory... but I am not long for this world now, for the last vestiges of my remembered existence will leave with the destruction of my statue.”[break][break]

The GLASTRIER neighs loudly as if in sheer distress at the inevitable fate of its owner. Quickly, the CALYREX soothes its steed. However, one of its white prongs holding its head up begins to peel away, causing the regal Pokemon to reel in pain.[break][break]

The bud on the King Pokemon's head begins to concave, the flesh darkening like a forbidden fruit rotting in swift timelapse.[break][break]

"quickly! my magicks can not last because of the poisons... ask all you that you can... then kill me. you must grant me this one favor, for the poison will render me forever paranoid and forever your foe.”[break][break]



Slipping in and out of lucidity, the CALYREX & GLASTRIER begin to trot around. The horse legs rear upward, pedaling as CALYREX attempts to remain in control... but it can not help but unleash erratic GLACIAL LANCES in between answers.

ROLL MECHANIC


EVEN NUMBERED ROLLS will allow the question to be answered. ODD NUMBERED ROLLS will cause the Pokemon you have out to be KNOCKED OUT BY A GLACIAL LANCE for a part of this raid.[break][break]

Characters with ACTIVATED SYGNA SUITS OR AN ICEROOT CARROT PIECE can ROLL TWO TIMES AND PICK WHICH VALUE THEY'D LIKE.[break][break]

Characters can decide to attempt the KILLING BLOW on the CALYREX. To do so, they must indicate their attempt in their TL;DR. The HIGHEST ROLL (& MOST NARRATIVELY SUPPORTED ACTION) that belongs to a character attempting this, will have the honours of executing the king.

The explosions come just after and radio of the dangers ahead, but Mint is too concerned with clearing the statue as he believes its important. Battered and ragdolled, but still conscious and still shielded by Rockets and CERBERUS, he stands, grateful, albeit sore and with his adrenaline spiking. [break][break]

But then the unthinkable happens. As the dust settled from the explosion of ' avatar blasts, nd as several legendaries tower over ready to engage in a war of attrition, a creature appears resembling the statue they'd just been studying. [break][break]

The creature is...sentient- or lucid for now. Mint's never seen such a thing before. Not in that state- what was going on. A memory? A memory that they can communicate with? But he commands everyone's presence and Mint can't focus on anything but that thing. [break][break]


"Your name! And what- who did this you?" Mint called out immediatly, Gnocci staging hismelf close to his owner once he began speaking up. But then the lances come and Mint swallows. Perhaps this is futile. He returns Gnocci and swaps out for his shiny Weezing. A strange GAS floats about his immediate area, before Mint orders it to attack. "HEAT WAVE, it's not goign to stop!" The green and pink pokemon obliged opening its mouth wide before letting out a slow roaming wave of hot air that burns at the touch.

Nothing is okay.[break][break]

Even though that was true, as she gets doused in Heal Pulse after Heal Pulse... one from this beautiful blonde lady (), one from a familiar blonde boy (), and another from the Lieutenant Colonel (). And yet another, some guy () and a Lapras. Blessed by everyone! And... huh. She felt lighter. What was that? Like magic, she felt herself able to stand on her own two legs, the Gardevoir, Lucario, and pink dust making it almost a dream; like the avalanche didn't hit her. Like she could run forever.[break][break]

Like Lady Bloom didn't just die minutes ago.[break][break]

"Thanks everyone. I'm okay now! Really!" She's smiling ear to ear, bubbly and sunshine despite everything, before explaining. "I'm a Ranger. It's my duty to be here and protect Zamizenta, and every life I can... but this place... it looks like Galar?" She gives a bright, still bubbly smile, unknown to the affiliation of a number of those here, as a Pyroar with a man appear nearby.[break][break]

's own response has her smile, and though she is about to take him up on the offer, she quickly turns on a heel towards the explosive heat of the statue nearby, that is, ' Groudon that erupts nearby. Genevieve's hazel eyes look on in horror. She was about to hop aboard but-[break][break]

"Wait! No! STOP!"[break][break]

Too late.[break][break]

Genny's horror meets reality, as the statue is obliterated.[break][break]

She had a bad feeling about this, and oh how true that feeling was. Horror, as she turns to see an assassin swipe out at them both, a mechanical voice echoing out. Ms. Clean immediately puts herself between @amor and Genny, but her attention is set elsewhere, past where a girl () seems to be pulled out by a big hulking Golurk.[break][break]

The five lifted into the air. Puppets on strings, forced to speak out in unison. Effigy of the King... the only thing holding back the affliction? She knew it. She was right. Whoever that dullard with the Groudon, she'd have to give a stern talking to... what they effectively did was kill something ancient. Forgotten, and forlorn, and Genny's lips curved downwards.[break][break]

What other question could there be?[break][break]

"How do we get home?" she squeaks out, beginning to run back, and through the Glacial Lances, Ms. Clean following suit. Unknown to the danger, reckless, pointing out to Ms. Clean. Intent to do this. Its own last request.[break][break]

"Superpower, Ms. Clean! Go!" With a heavy heart, the Galarian Darmanitan goes to make due upon her trainer's behest. To stop anyone else from getting stricken down. In an attempt to save everyone from this threat.

- She yells out to stop, but no use. And then the Five-Man Unison Speech begins. Holy moly, what did you do?![break]
- After being asked the question, Genny runs in THROUGH THE GLACIAL SPEARS with Ms. Clean following...[break]
-- And asks how they get home... and? SUPERPOWER's that horse Glaseteur.

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]BUT HOLD YOUR BREATH, GUESS WHO'S RUNNING THE SHOW?



[attr="class","skullbody"]Everything was happening all at once.[break][break]

One minute, Isaac was speeding over to help heal poor 's wounds. The next, they were joined by a military man, who was luckily too busy healing Genevieve up to clobber him into the ground. "Thanks for the hand," he said, shooting a smile 's way. Then came down from the heavens to join the fray, throwing in some healing of her own. At this point, between them and , there was more healing being thrown around than Isaac could count.[break][break]

With the healing out of the way, the hurting and the chaos could begin. , getting the wrong idea from seeing his companions surrounded by the League, leaped from the shadows to sling an attack Doug's way. Then charged on up on the back of his Pokemon, in tow, giving Isaac the "come with me if you want to live" offer. At some point, poor was buried in the ground, and Isaac couldn't tell if she just got here or if they'd been standing on her for the last five minutes.[break][break]

So many voices. In the background, Groudon was doing his best Godzilla impression, and it seemed like half of Rocket was flinging themselves at it. In front of Isaac, this little group already hung on the edge of infighting. Even in the middle of this frozen hellhole, the war was inevitable and it was overwhelming and it was going to be the death of them.[break][break]

"For fuck's sake, can you all just stop!?"[break][break]

Knuckles slid between Amor and Doug, the Lucario's aura flaring up. The Lucario didn't attack for now, but judging by the aura flickering across her fists, whoever tried to break the peace first would be on the wrong end of a Close Combat. As she played defense, Isaac did his damndest to help unbury Akira.[break][break]

"We've got two missing legends on our hands, we just got sucked into a magic shield, and now we're stranded in some frozen hellhole that's somehow in the middle of Galar." Not a word of that even made sense, but the intel didn't lie and neither did their lived-in experience. "I don't give a hot gay fuck how you all try to kill each other once we're out of here. But can we all just suck it up and find a way out of here before we all die of exposure?"[break][break]

Stupid war. Stupid Galar. Stupid Sygna Suit. Why the hell did he bring a full suit of armor to a frozen hellhole?[break][break]

Before Isaac could ask if anything else could go wrong, the King of Galar turned a bunch of Hoenn's strongest trainers into meat puppets. Under their chorus of disconcertingly off-sync voices, he announced that A) he was dying, B) while he lived he would answer everyone's questions, and C) it was stab time. Okay.[break][break]

By now, the guy was in way over his head. Not even a year of being immersed in Hoenn and his war could prevent him from the insanity unfolding before his eyes. However, in gruesome spectacle and dangerous consequence came opportunity. While the Calyrex was dying before their eyes, he promised much knowledge to share in his wake. Isaac had no idea how much he knew of affairs outside of Galar's borders, but he also knew that several of the threats to Hoenn were threats to their entire universe as aw hole. Maybe there was opportunity here.[break][break]

"Do you know anything of the Dark Triad?" Isaac asked, a rare touch of hope to his voice. "And do you know if there is anything here that can help us stop them?"[break][break]

Maybe they were all dragged here for some big, fucked up cosmic reason.[break][break]

To his relief he managed to find the Mauville gym leader. ”Hello,” he said in greeting giving the gym leader a smile though if one were to look closely they would see a strained edge to the smile. Upon hearing the older males question he shook his head.
[break][break]
”Not exactly I got turned around in the evacuation, than I got cut off but that avalanche. Luckily Mirage was able to get us clear so we didn’t get caught up in it but than we couldn’t exactly get to the escape route,” he explained rambling a bit at the end causing his face to heat up a bit in embarrassment.
[break][break]
All that talking wasn’t exactly helping him when it came to breathing. The cold was like knives to his lungs. But after they started moving he started to get warmed up a bit. The came across a group of people the woman with orange hair that he had noticed earlier among them.
[break][break]
Unsure how to react to so many people he didn’t know he just awkwardly waved his shoulders tensing. Suddenly something showers down around the group, due to one of the Pokémon using life dew, and he started to feel the tightness in his chest loosen.
[break][break]
It was after he had just started feeling better when he heard what Josh said causing him to jerk his head around so fast to look at the Mauville gym leader that it was a wonder he didn’t get whiplash. In the times he had run into the gym leader he had never so much as heard such course language.
[break][break]
Before he could ask Josh about what he was talking about his attention was drawn to a commotion. His gaze flickered towards the man with a Groudon used a move that completely obliterated a statue. He watched as suddenly a strange Pokémon that looked like a badly injured version of the Pokémon that the statue had been off appear.
[break][break]
The fact a group of people had been made to talk in unison like a bunch of puppets made a shudder pass through him. His hands tightened on the reigns of Mirage and it took a minute to get any words to leave his lips.
[break][break]
”That is also something I’d like to know,” he said clearly referring to what had said. The idea of killing anything even if requested to left a foul taste in his mouth.
[break][break]
His gaze flickered towards wondering if he would join in the attack as well. He was a bit turn since he didn’t want to leave the orange head on her own to attack. He bit his lip before coming to a decision.
[break][break]
Letting out a long drawn out sigh he told Mirage to help with the attack. He was a trainer he should at least help. So with that he directs the zoroark Shadow Ball against the Pokémon deciding to keep his distance when attacking for now.

There are no shields or shards found- but there is a scrap of paper. Temp frowns at it as he tries to parse what it says, his eyes swimming. It was too cold and too much was happening. Where was everyone? Where was his husband?[break][break]

approaches and his eyes snap up to take them in. Not someone he knows. Not one of them. But whatever he sees in the other makes him think they're not a threat. A whistle has Compass standing down from any attack she might have tried to make; the Firagarif huffing.[break][break]

"Thanks. Fucking freezing out here." Being Hoenn born and raised, Temp wasn't accustomed to the cold and ice at all.[break][break]

Then comes .[break][break]

Temp snarls at her from under the fluffy wings, voice low and warning.[break][break]

"You have any idea where the fuck we are? No? Then shut up and deal with it. We're friends till we figure out how to get home." Temp raised an arm and clapped on the back, maybe a little too roughly but it wasn't on purpose. He pulled them under his arm, as if to shield the other between and himself. "You fuck with them you fuck with me."[break][break]

Before anymore arguments can happen between the unlikely trio, there is an explosion. Hell breaks loose. Smoke and fire and brimstone and heat. The distant echo of warped voices.[break][break]

Temp clicks his tongue.[break][break]

"Looks like we have places to be." Temp offers the paper to before he starts to head in the direction of the chaos. Appointing himself the leader he starts ahead of the other two. With one final look, he dares to defy him. But his voice is just a gentle rumble when he speaks again. "Do you know what that says? I can't make heads or tails of it. I'm Temp, by the way."[break][break]

Black wings unfurling overhead catches his eye. Unlike so many who want to break themselves on her corrupted wings for glory, Temp only feels warmth and relief thick in his chest.[break][break]

"My husband's over there! He can help keep us safe!" Temp beams at and points at the ominous cloud that is Shadow Lugia before darting off. It is up to them and if either of them choose to follow.[break][break]

Eventually in the snow and ice Temp spots the familiar fluff of blond hair.[break][break]

"Cill!" Temp bounds through the snow the best he can, coming to a halt right before crashing into the other. His husband would be able to see the pure relief that was on Temp's face from seeing the other.[break][break]

This post is already very long. So we will paraphrase reactions to the statue and the cute bunny as follows: Temp has no idea what the fuck it is, feels bad for it despite being fucked up and evil, and has no idea what the fuck to ask it. Temp doesn't even think he cares to ask it anything.[break][break]

But he does want to kill it.[break][break]

Not for glory, not to savor taking a life, but because whatever this creature is it deserved to be put out of it's misery. Some people just didn't accept that death could be the better end for some things. Whatever blight or rot was happening was probably causing it pain.[break][break]

While Temp might have very black morals at this point in his life, at the end of the day he did care deeply about the suffering of pokemon. Most of it he could swallow down and ignore for the greater good of Rocket- but this wasn't one of those times. This was something he could try and help with.[break][break]

His Sygna Suit flared to proper life, energy surrounding Compass as his partner pokemon took heart from Temp's determination. She gave a cry and surged forward towards the rabbit pokemon. Psychic Fangs gathered in the 'helmet' of her head, attempting to snap down and break the rabbit's neck. A quick, clean death without suffering. It if worked.[break][break]

A chill that has nothing to do with the cold snakes down Cillian's spine as requests the collection of the BLACK FRAGMENTS. Lips pursed, the underboss decides neither to reply nor engage.[break][break]

His attention is quickly diverted by 's yell.[break][break]

"Cillian," he says, not for the first nor the last time. But he doesn't sound annoyed. "I don't know where is, but I'm sure he's all right." He had faith in his husband's strength, but, "It's fucking freezing, though..."[break][break]

Hitoshi seems incredibly concerned about the cat, a sentiment the underboss shares. But it's not his sentiment that matters, here. Like Hitoshi, Cillian is a dog serving a master.[break][break]

"Our orders are to subdue and procure. It's up to to decide their fate after that."[break][break]

They're soon joined by others, like , and .[break][break]

"Galar was deeply scarred by Necrozma, but the region still stands," he says to . "I recently returned there myself... though admittedly not to the Tundra." His attention snaps to the others. "Might be best not to wander off, lest you wish to freeze to death."[break][break]

Then, some distance from them, the statue in the courtyard explodes.[break][break]

He can hear the orders of over their comms, hears respond, but the group are lifted into the air by some psychic force before he or the others can intervene.[break][break]

"Rocket: hold fire."[break][break]

They couldn't afford to lose several members of their brass trying to kill... whatever that thing was. Cillian approaches warily, golden eyes narrowed upon the strange creature atop its frozen steed. Joined by (and those with him, if applicable), his relief at reuniting with his husband is palpable but subdued by the stress of the uncertain situation in which they find themselves.[break][break]

"You must be freezing, love," he murmurs. They needed to get home; but someone else () had already asked that pressing question.[break][break]

"Arceus!" he snaps, as a GLACIAL LANCE slices past them, its chill biting bone-deep. Yet the allure of an answered question sees him demand of the mounted monarch, "What do you mean, 'this memory'?"[break][break]

Where the hell were they?[break][break]

"Kill it if you wish," he says dispassionately, affording the others agency should they look to him for guidance. Others were likely already clamoring to do the same.[break][break]

It's too loud, far too loud.[break][break]

Xenon had come here to try and gather up with other Rockets, and already she was regretting it as she's forced to listen to some loud mouth Leaguer screaming about dangerous Rockets and blah blah BLAH! "These people are all idiots, every last one of them." Xenon mutters as she switches out her Pokemon, drawing Rhodium back into his pokeball and sending out Radon as she gets ready to go scout around for a way out of this hopeless memory of the past she's found herself trapped in.[break][break]

She looks to with a frown. "I don't know what your plan is, but I'm going to start looking for a way out of this stupid tundra. I definitely don't plan on sticking around for whatever is going on with-" An explosion rocks the area from a short distance away, interrupting Xenon while simultaneously punctuating her sentence without even needing to finish it. "Yeah. You all can come with me, or you can go kill yourselves on the rampaging big brain. I don't care. Wait, except for you." She then turns her attention to and gestures with her uninjured arm. "I'm gonna need you later if I can't get this arm fixed up, so you're coming with me to cut down anything that needs to get cut down. Now help me up onto Radon, you can ride too if you want." [break][break]

Regardless of if acquiesced to her demands or not, she'd quickly head out in the opposite direction of Calyrex's rampage to try and find a way out of the hellish Tundra she'd found herself in, asking questions of a dying beast didn't interest her in the slightest. The only thing a rotting corpse had to offer was a vision of the past. And if she were to be so unlucky as to get targeted by one of those Glacial Spikes flying to and fro, she would have a Protect locked and loaded to keep her and Radon safe, along with whoever else might be riding the gargantuan Scolipede.

"S-Shit!"

He recognizes the PRECIPICE BLADE that spears through the STATUE & TROUGH for what it is. SPECTRA reports on and GROUDON had been accompanied by photos and first-hand accounts of past battles. Though he's blown backward by the initial blast of wooden splinters, it is the second that is liable to kill him.

Thankfully, the few seconds granted are all the Hisuian Samurott needs to swiftly reach Belial and shield him with its SHELL ARMOR. Explosive flame does little against the armored veteran Water-type. Belial, on the other hand, seethes in pain as he addresses his injuries from the initial blast. They're not life-threatening, at least. Just a tattered cloak, a few cuts, and plenty of damnable wooden splinters.

"You just moved up the list, asshole..." The mercenary captain hisses, tearing off his aforementioned cloak before letting the biting wind take it away. As he turns to look for and his GROUDON, however, he sees that the former has been possessed (with others) by the strange bunny-like king he'd seen as the statue earlier.

As it speaks, the SPECTRA co-captain makes his way toward familiar faces for support: namely, , , , and . He offers them little more than a nod in greeting, however, as his attention remains fixed on the situation at hand. Then, when this 'KING OF BOUNTIFUL HARVESTS' begins to lose its mind, Belial is a second away from ordering its death when...

makes his command not to engage.

He sighs before reaching up to activate his earpiece.

"Roger that."

The king's GLASTRIER appears far more afflicted with madness than its rider at the moment, however, and his Hisuian Samurott nonetheless braces itself as it tries to track the trajectory of each GLACIAL LANCE that it launches. Belial, in the meantime, steps forward to ask a question:

"What else do you know about this poison and the one who inflicted you with it?"

The flamethrower erupted from her fire and poison type pokemon, only to be blocked by another. Green orbs fell upon , narrowing at the man. However, the woman couldn’t escaped the avalanche that practically buried her alive. Everything went dark, leaving the raven haired woman alone and cold.[break][break]

Genesis was unsure of how much time had pass once her awoken from her slumber. She sat up, feeling the freeze of the new frozen wasteland she been pushed too. She blinked, spotting several others who have been trapped by the massive snow as well. Getting to her feet, the woman spotted a statue. What was that?

[break][break]

Despite everything that had happened, chaos still claimed the place. Others rush to heals others and some run off to explore the new area while others continue to battle it out. A sudden explosion got the woman’s attention, arms rose to shield her face from the thousands of splinters that scattered. [break][break]

And just as the explosion settled, a pokemon appeared and snatched them off the ground with its psychic energy. Genesis remained silent, merely observing from afar. Many began to call out their questions and the strange pokmeon replies, some getting the short end of the stick. Genesis however, remained quiet. Surprising for her, but gathers as much information as she can remember.[break][break]

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Come back with your shield or on it.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Aurelie bit back a startled gasp as—in the middle of watching the BLACK FRAGMENTS she'd gathered assimilating right into 's clothing and skin, an unsettling sight in itself—she heard a brief, urgent warning from on Rocket's comms. It gave her just enough time to duck behind and 's joined WIDE GUARDs before a cataclysm of PRECIPICE BLADES ripped up the courtyard, statue, and trough. Reflexively, she flung up her forearms before her face as the sword-like stone pillars tore through the ground and then exploded into spires of smoke and flame.

"Thank you," she whispered gratefully to the Rocket admin who'd sent the timely warning.

Later, the red-haired smith would look back at the attack and shake her head, darkly amused to think that the ruthless pragmatism of attacking first—and not bothering to ask questions later—clearly wasn't specific to Rocket. At the time, Aurelie just sighed with relief to see the WIDE GUARDs holding strong against flying stone and shattered statuary.

Then...the red-haired smith completely lost track of what was happening.

Battle was joined in the courtyard as Legendary Pokemon and avatars launched devastating attacks at each other and further blew apart the snow-covered ruins, making Aurelie want to cower further behind her shelter. As the statue's decapitated head rolled to a rest on the ground, suddenly five of the fighters started floating upward in mid-air and speaking in a unison at once haunting and somewhat hilarious.

To Aurelie's growing perplexity, this phenomenon turned out to be the work of a regal, rather cute, yet injured CALYREX upon a GLASTRIER, who revealed itself to be the very figure the destroyed statue had represented. Strangely, the CALYREX offered answers to them, even as it erratically attacked everyone as well. Even though it was going mad and dying, it seemed to want to help them.

As GLACIAL LANCES shot past, Aurelie recalled her fiery DELPHOX and released her trusty GALLADE, whispering to him, "Heal Pulse, please" and indicating the teammates nearby injured by the PRECIPICE BLADES and GLACIAL LANCES.

Just as 's question was leaving her mouth, Aurelie also blurted out in the direction of the CALYREX, "How do we return home?", her question overlapping with the other girl's.

Unfortunately, Aurelie barely got the words out before facing a new barrage of GLACIAL LANCES flying straight at her. Instinctually, she attempted to parry them, swinging her upraised forearms like swords, but unfortunately, her flesh proved far less protective than a real blade would have offered. Her GALLADE quickly moved to protect her, only to be struck by an icy lance as well, wrenching a grief-stricken cry from Aurelie as he slumped over onto the frozen ground, knocked senseless by the attack.

TL;DR:
- Wearing jeans, T-shirt, sneakers, sunglasses, and a dark hoodie with the hood pulled up all the way
- Takes shelter behind and 's Pokemons' WIDE GUARDs, thanking for the warning
- Watches everyone kung-fu fighting in the courtyard
- When GLACIAL LANCES start slicing at people, uses GALLADE'S HEAL PULSE to heal injured teammates
- Not attempting to go for the kill
- Also asks how to return home but only gets more GLACIAL LANCES to the face (1x salac - grrrrr, RNG!)

Soyeon had been marching through the snow filled tundra with Ignis at the ready. Although nothing really seemed to be attacking them at the moment, she wasn't going to take any chances with any of the wildlife here. Overhead, the sound of a certain 's Shadow Lugia and Rayquaza above could be heard for miles. Such a fascinating sight to behold, had both not been on opposing sides with one another. What must the temperature be up there? Would it be just as cold?

As she continued to make her way around, Soyeon heard a familiar voice come from around her. She swung her head around to spot the woman from before, . Another Rocket that she had went dog hunting with for Poochyena. "Madd, right?" she smiled although noticed the hand going to the back of her head as her expression soured. If it wasn't the faltering focus or that look of something bothering her, she could have hidden it better. It must have been a way rougher landing for the brunette than herself. She warned about not going inside of the church as the signs of a fight were breaking out. Soyeon only nodded, though stepped near Madd. "I'm as dispensable as any other Rocket thug. You're clearly hurt." Just as fast as she came, the woman hurried over towards another person attempting to try and scale the mountain solo, while trying not to crumble into the snow below. Soyeon followed suit, although when she came to a good stop, Soyeon attempted to take Madd's shoulder and hang it over her own to try and help steady herself. She huffed, with Ignis keeping his tail near the two to keep them safe. But as another figure entered the fray, Soyeon quickly would gasp at recognizing the man.

"C-Captain, sir!" She said, watching as he lit up a cigarette, and again like Madd had done so long ago, she sort of crinkled her nose up at the scent. Nothing too disgusting smelling, but she would be lying if she admitted it was a minor annoyance. "So this is Galar? Or a part of it? I've never seen a snow filled place like this before...But it seems like everyone around where we were got sucked into this place. Are we in some kind of new place? Or are we still back home?" But the peace is soon interrupted as a frozen spear roars across the landscape, tearing apart the statue that was a short distance away. Standing before them was another Pokémon standing across from the large group of Rocket and League officials.

The mere sight of its head rotting away, concave to the forces of nature that were causing it to wither away was nothing short of horrifying for the woman. She covered her mouth in shock, though would listen well to what it wished to be done. A mercy killing, putting it to death here instead of becoming a threat very few could handle.

It had been Infected by a poison that would make the victim incredibly hostile, one that must have been incredibly potent give it such power to affect a creature such as itself. Soyeon frowned at the declaration. Everyone had asked questions, and she would try and honor its wishes. Although her mind wanted to shout questions for her mind, the comfort of a quick death was of more importance than this. "Ignis, let's try and give it what it wants." The Charizard would huff, then alongside a select few in the crowd, launch Inferno at the suffering being.

TL;DR:
• Meets up with and tries to help her get steady
• Is discovered by as she greets andreports to him
• Shocked at the strange Pokemon suffering from a poison and takes pity
• She sends CHARIZARD to use INFERNO at the creature.
