Had this beautiful dream been just a poisoned chalice for them to drink of while the poison and what not gathered it’s strength?

Johanna feared it, and yet as the Heroic canine called them into battle, she made sure to say her farewells to those she left behind. Her students, the children at the orphanage. All of them was given a hug before she joined Megan on the front lines.

Johanna would stick close to the woman she loved. Facing the Inteleon led army was like nothing she had tried before. She had tried battle, but not battle at such a fantastical scale, and with such a giant boss monster at the back. But she would fight. Fight to protect Megan, and make sure they both came out of this alive.

With a Dynamax band on her wrist, she would summon forth her fighter. The Claydol did not even seem surprised, as it gazed out on the army and the dynamaxed monster at the end of the enemy army.

“Clay, dynamax and aim for the Inteleon.” Johanna instructed.

The Claydol began to grow, as if space suddenly was but a mere optional suggestion. It grew towering tall. And with its size came a perfect straight line of sight. And he was fully intent on using it. Raising its gigantic arms it aimed toward the Inteleon as it fired its move. What would normally have been a Hyper Beam came flying as a MAX STRIKE

Meanwhile Johanna would let the HEAL PULSE imbued in her braces flow out over this around her, healing or replenishing the stamina of her allies.


YmOidkvO

TLDR:
- Johanna says her potential farewell to her students, the orphans and such.
- Approaches the battlefield side by side with Megan
- Battle Begins. Johanna stays near Megan letting her Bracelets fire HEAL PULSE to heal her allies or replenish their stamina.
- Johanna Dynamaxes her Claydol and it fires a MAX STRIKE (Using Hyper Beam as the base) at the Inteleon General

[attr="class","mainbox"] They stand at the edge of the battlefield, at the precipice of disaster.

[break][break] It reminds Ollie of how they had started here, nearly twenty years ago. His memories had been nearly wiped from it but standing side next to the love of his life, his wife, his most favorite person in the world — it was willing to bring it all back.

[break][break] His hand slips into hers, entangling tight.

[break][break] "Pen," he says, eyes glittering green and gold. "I love you."

[break][break] "Let's do this."

[break][break] Together.



[break][break] As they stand at the edge of Wedgehurst, his gaze flits towards the sight of the dog-like projections that stand beside them. Stone had split apart as the illusionary ZACIAN had led them to this prespice, and now they all stood together, awaiting the day that was to come.

[break][break] Across the fields, sludge seeps dangerously into the battleground. A swamp of malice floods the earth before them, resurrecting armies crafted from poisonous sludge and the BLACK KNIGHT's scattered remains.

[break][break] Ollie's heart swells with anxiety, and even a little bit of fear, and his fingers clutch more tightly around his wife's own, before his own battle cry rings out:

[break][break] "Motostoke! We charge!"

[break][break] As the armies charge down, Motostoke's monarchy charges straight for the RILLABOOM on Ollie's Mega Pidgeot. His armband glows powerful with the effects of mega evolution, just as the bird resurrects a potent PROTECT. Pulling the string of his bow taut, he releases a GRASS PLEDGE.

The solstice. Summer stood with Raziel Beckett and Naomi Sato as she explained that war was coming when they reached that time. Her face was a small frown, her arms crossed over her chest. They didn't have much longer to get ready. They had to be prepared.[break][break]

However, her thoughts were broken as Naomi Sato spoke again. "Thank you, Nomi. We appreciate everyone in Circhester."[break][break]

---

[break][break]

And the solstice arrived. The sky grew red, the clouds pink. As she received word, Summer strung her Poke balls at her side and sheathed her rapier at her hip. The air was chilly, threatening to freeze them to the bone.[break][break]

As she descends to the center of town, they appeared. The BLACK KNIGHT and the SKELETON. Her hand rested at her side as they clashed, her other telling her people to hold. To see what exactly these two were doing before attacking.[break][break]

And she was glad she did, as the statue broke open with bright light. ZACIAN. Summer couldn't contain the joy in her heart as she looked over the sword-wielding dog, its howl like music to her ears. It was time for war.[break][break]

Outside of Wedgehurst, Summer stood alongside Raziel Beckett. Her people lined up with her. skyler dross, angelo vestri, Naomi Sato, parker jones, GIDEON GRAVES, mikael rosenberg, Serena Malcolm, Aidan Hereford, Eris Halla, Gunner Graves... all people she'd grown to care for or cared for even more than before. She scanned their faces, nodding to them.[break][break]

She shared one last, lingering look with Gunner Graves. Then she turned back to the fray. "Circhester. Attack with all your might! Show them what we are capable of!" she called, raising her rapier into the air.[break][break]

Summer's own CHARIZARD was released, attacking the GIGANTAMAXED RILLABOOM with INFERNO, flames blazing upward to try and engulf it. Her own weapon threw PSYCHO CUT power to the one of the general TOXTRICITY charging forward.

It will be over after today, Adrian thought to himself, perhaps relieved to see journey's end... Closing out this peculiar chapter in his life's history.[break][break]

As the skies ooze with a sickly shade of magenta, the townsfolk and others are able to rightly assume the auspicious nature of the development, followed by the arrival of their hero—Zacian—to lead them into the fray. He recollects the Three Day War, the time spent before the Mauville Warfront broke out—to the darness that consumed Slateport, and then more directly manifested in Sootopolis—and he felt the same chill running down his spine. He would have to be remarkably foolish—or brave—not to feel a pang of dread.[break][break]

There are little, tenders moments shared between himself and Rowan Wrynn, as they make their egress from Circhester. He alongside Howitzer to the crossroads, then riding astride the Arcanine to avail himself to what can only be described as... A cesspit of all that was foul and rotten in the world:[break][break]

A horde of these fetid creatures and their gangling kingpin have formed a host to the south, enveloping Wedgehurst as if a lingering miasma. The Skeleton is then confronted by the Black Knight, though Adrian would know them by different names and associated tales stemming back from his first life—the true one.[break][break]

There, standing just on the brink, he surveys the enemy—making his projections. Perhaps it is a sense of hopelessness that causes him to keep Howitzer at his side, rather than safeguard her away in a pokeball—a sixth sense for the natural conclusion rapidly approaching him, allowing him to let loose with wild abandon.[break][break]

Fifteen years stuck in the same town together, struggling to survive and then managing to thrive, did a lot to erode the barriers between people. Ruby was genuinely happy to see Johanna Joy get married, even if she didn't really know her partner, Megan Whitmore. She wasn't exactly at the forefront of the celebrations, content to quietly show her support with subdued applause and a flash of a smile.[break][break]

---

[break]She hadn't expected to be welcomed so warmly and grandly by kepler brueshaber. The things queendom did to a person, apparently. She felt out of place before the large array of fine dishes and expensive wine, and that awkwardness was only compounded by the complicated feelings for Kepler that hadn't quite gone away. After all, it wasn't like she'd had the chance to be around him for a decade and a half to iron out their problems in the flames of conflict. But he was the only other person from the past that she really knew, and she needed a reminder of that old life.

[break][break]"Yeah. You, too," she said. She meant it, but that didn't stop her words from being too stiff for comfort.

[break][break]She didn't touch the wine at first. She'd long sworn off alcohol, not wanting to be like her mother, and losing Mathilda reminded her of losing her father and her mother's subsequent alcoholism.

[break][break]"Ballonlea. Necrozma fucked things up five years ago, but we've been recovering."

[break][break]Her words were vague, but there was a clear sadness to them. She really didn't have anyone to take care of anymore, did she? Mathilda was gone, and even if opal garcia were here, she'd be... what, 32 years old? No doubt she'd be with the scientists and the scholars puzzling out the mysteries of this world, blindness be damned. She wouldn't need Ruby anymore.

[break][break]She finally started sipping her wine as their conversation went on. It helped her loosen up a bit, allowing her to chat more freely about what she'd been up to for the past fifteen years, how she was something of a guard/huntress/amateur blacksmith, floating between wherever her skills were needed.

[break][break]"I never was any good at holding a steady job," she said with a nonchalant shrug.

[break][break]In turn, she asked Kepler about queendom, why he was specifically a queen, how things in Hammerlocke had been, things like that. It was nice, actually.

[break][break]That didn't stop her from feeling embarrassed once she'd sobered up.[break][break]

---

[break]Five years later, the solstice came and rang the bells of war. Ruby joined the army gathered at the illusory Zacian's behest. Ettie howled alongside the Legendary's mirage and called for her pack to follow. Apparently, that included Ruby. She was surprised at first. Sure, she'd hunted alongside the girl before, but hearing her call Ruby part of her pack... was kind of nice, she realized. She let out a war cry of her own and raced along the ethereal trail to the final battlefield.

[break][break]The Skeleton and the Black Knight clashed behind a sludge-born army armored with pieces of black armor cut from the Knight. Three Toxtricity acted as generals, and three Gigantamax Pokémon took up the rear. It was clear that the trainers would have to break past all of them to reach Necrozma and the Skeleton.

[break][break]From atop his Zapdos mount, kepler brueshaber gave a rallying cry straight out of a fantasy world. It should have been cheesy, but something about it stirred something long-forgotten in Ruby's heart. She'd used to love legends and epics, even if she'd rarely admitted it. There was a reason all of her Pokémon were named after various mythological figures and creatures. Kepler's short speech fit those kinds of tales perfectly. Hell, they were living one, and that sparked a flame behind Ruby's eyes for the first time in years. She held out her battle axe to be tinked by Kepler's sword, a confident smirk playing on her face.

[break][break]Then, at the commands of the royals of each city, the army of trainers charged into battle. They'd need to break through all these poisoned Pokémon to get to the Giantamaxed ones and the Legendaries, so it was time to clear a path by knocking these bastards down.

[break][break]"Delphi!" Ruby shouted as she sent out her Garchomp. "Earthquake! Get these guys out of the way so we can get to the real fight!"

[break][break]Her Key Stone glowed with her determination, and Delphi's Garchompite did the same. Mega Energy shone around the Garchomp, and with a roar, she transformed into her Mega form. With a mighty stomp, the earth beneath her cracked, sending an Earthquake to strike the poisoned armies.

[break][break]Ruby wasn't just going to stand back and give orders, though. With a shout, she leapt into the fray, axe aflame with Raging Fury. Some of the poisoned Pokémon had a terrible Stench that made it difficult to approach them, but Ruby refused to let that stop her. She'd cut them all down.

[break][break]

“Why are you leaving?!”

And Miss Elise Calcifet thought she had it rough. The younger of their ‘kids’ was hanging onto him like a leech.

“Don’t go!”

Oh, no.

He could only sigh, because while Iris was Miss Elise’s idea, Peony on the other hand… was his own. How could he leave the little one behind like that, though?!

“You two have each other, okay?” he began quietly as he crouched down to ruffle her hair. “Look, we taught your big sister everything we can.”


He had to be careful about making ‘false promises’, especially around Peony.

“Stay with Iris, okay? Don’t do anything stupid.”

“What?! I—”

“I trust you two, okay? Especially you. We’ll be back.”

Even if he knew that they were lying. At least they’d taught these two all they could during the last ten years…

---

“Of course I do. You think I go anywhere without an aerial mount?” he began once they were at the field of battle. It was like one of those epic charging scenes, the ones that involved ‘riding to ruin’, and ‘at first light on the fifth day, turn to the east’ kind of nerding out.

Only in this case it was all very fucking real.

“We might need to land on the ground, because… I have plans…” he trailed off, squinting ahead at the ‘horde’ that were still congregating around the gigantic monkey—who bore some resemblance to a Pokémon that… who owned that… ‘Tambor’?

“I advise you to hold on tight,” he continued quietly as he activated the Dynamax Band—but not on his Salamence. Quickly dropping the Cherish Ball he intended to use it on—the Wandering Stormbringer, Tornadus, appeared.

Only instead of just the normal man-sized ‘djinni of the clouds’, he grew…much bigger than normal.

At the same time, he then wrapped an arm around miss Elise’s waist, hopefully all objections were kept quiet—as he recalled the Salamence, and for a few seconds—they were in free-fall.

“I need you to trust me, okay?!” he shouted over the clamoring sounds of battle as they were momentarily airborne—before the sheer size of the Tornadus loomed near them. He’d made sure to fall as close to the Tornadus as possible so that they could… slide down its tail?!

The djinni had other plans, though—bringing down a harsh, but powerful wind on their side of the battle as the Tailwind translated into something—else.

A battlefield-wide Tailwind? Was that even possible?

(Yes, it was apparently Max Airstream.)

• dawn of the final day™ happened and the ‘kids’ they’d adopted are trying to guilt them into not leaving for war
• lie, lie, lie
• eventually the two arrive at the battlefield riding his Salamence, and while miss Elise does her thing he has to make a split-second decision before doing… that
• YES, he Dynamaxed Tornadus and swapped out Salamence!
• so now the two are in free-fall for a few moments, however he decides to turn the curving tail of the Tornadus into a ‘slide’ to bring them down
• Tornadus used Tailwind, which then transformed into Max Airstream!
• since he’s holding onto miss Elise, he can’t use his weapon! At least not yet
• location wise: on the side of the battlefield where the giant Rillaboom is, for reference
