[nospaces] [attr="class","skullhover"] [attr="class","skullimg"] [attr="class","skulltitle"]導通抵抗 [attr="class","skulloverlap"]BUT HOLD YOUR BREATH, GUESS WHO'S RUNNING THE SHOW? [attr="class","skullbody"]Was Navy joking? He didn't look like he was joking. Isaac spared a brief glance down towards Neo. "Swear to Arceus, if I start eating rocks 'cause of you," he grumbled. The Aron's only response was a brief, amused snicker.[break][break] The lighthearted vibes ceased as Navy described the real side effect. Isaac knew how he felt all too well, even if he didn't have an apex predator living rent free inside his head. He knew how it was to be angry. He knew how it was to be powerless. He knew how it felt to try and triumph over the impossible.[break][break] "Well, yeah. Your fists can only do so much." The words came tumbling out of Isaac's mouth before he could stop them. Arceus, why was it so easy when it wasn't him under the microscope? "That's one answer, and you're one guy. Even in the regions that haven't gone to shit, that'd never be enough."[break][break] It would be nice, wouldn't it? A lone hero storming out of nowhere to punch the region's act in gear. A noble king ordering all this bloodshed to stop with just a word. One of these legends living up to their damn reputation and fixing things with a wave of their hand. Those were just what they sounded like; fantasies. Frankly, if they did come true, Isaac was fairly sure it'd be for the worse.[break][break] "Not saying you gotta run off to Johto and become a monk. Just, its gonna take everyone trying everything if this place is ever gonna heal." That meant everyone, League and Rocket alike. Could they survive the gathering storm if Rocket kept pushing out the cracks? "But you're doing what you can, and that matters. A lot. Keep that in mind when times are tough, yeah?"[break][break] It was a short lived pep talk. Vortigern grunted. Navy tensed. Their mark was here, cowering behind a dome of jellylike glass.[break][break] The second the Nihilego began to glow purple, Neo charged off. Rampage tried to hook her shell with her horn, but was just moments too short. "Hey, Neo, wait-" Isaac called, but his protests fell on deaf ears. Nothing would stop Neo as she made her way over towards the Ultra Beast.[break][break] She was one Pokemon with one approach, but she was going to do what she could.[break][break] Neo's footsteps echoed like thunder as they rained down on the cavern floor, leaving footprints three sizes too big for her in her wake. Her body first began to glow, then began to grow. By the time she'd reached her quarry, she'd grown to three times her size.[break][break] She smashes down on the ground, claws erupting from what were once small, stublike limbs. They helped pull her into a skid, allowing her to turn the bulk of her expanded body towards the incoming strike. Her armored shell unfolded, raising like a sailed crest to help catch the brunt of the incoming blast.[break][break] The Sludge Wave, intended to scare them off before they could approach, smashed into Neo's unmoving hide. She turned to the Nihilego and roared a challenge, tearing open a mouth that was finally visible. The light of evolution faded in a final eruption. Where an Aron once toddled up, a Lairon now stood tall and proud.[break][break] Adrenaline exploded through Isaac's body. Fuck feeling like a small, insignificant portion of the universe! He could do anything! Navy's speech, the prisoner's protests, the great brawl between Vortigern and Nihilego . . . it all washed over his head. Navy was amazingky capable. He could handle himself. Right now Isaac was on a mission.[break][break] Rampage and Neo charged side by side, soitting images of one another. However, where Neo continued towards fray to plow into the Nihilego with a Heavy Slam, Rampage instead pulled into a drift. Isaac wasn't just sitting idle. He, too, was running, obscured by the dust clouds kicked up by his twin behemoths.[break][break] If the crook was escaping a hitch in his escape plans, it probably wasn't from a deputy hopped up on evolution endorphins slingshotting vaulting off of a Rhyhorn's back. Isaac took full advantage of his confusion, kicking off their fight with a momentum-fueled forearm to the face.[break][break] If their mark wanted out, he'd have to fight for it.
