You know how this story goes. Preparation is followed by comforting. Comforting leads to condemnation. Condemnation makes the trainers lose control.[break][break]
Something different happens this time. It should be a cake run. Two of the strongest trainers in the League, one of them an avatar, pair up to dive down into the heart of darkness. There is no story to tell of the foes they quell along the way or the defensive barriers built. Stories need conflict, and a story starring these two won’t be waylaid by simple Nihilego…[break][break]
A pink mist rolls over them. Navy remembers its smell. He’ll remember this smell until the day he dies, the chalky sick smell of interdream mist. Something’s coming. Navy throws out the first of his Pokemon, Hattori, to ready for the coming battle. Something is coming. Normally that something lumbers out of the mist.[break][break]
“Wonder what Eternatus is gonna pull this time, Silph. His poison fog gets creative.” Beat. Pause. Navy turns his head to look at the other man, a hesitant note in his voice.[break][break]
“Silph?”

the pink mist is not what tips him over the ledge—a ledge so thin that all it would take is a simple breeze—but it's the all pervading presence that lives in his mind that does it.[break][break]

even as Michael Navidson calls out to him, he remains focused on the beating organ above them.[break][break]

"that day in your office, you mentioned wanting to do something about these...organs."[break][break]

he pauses.[break][break]

What he’d give for it to be that simple. Would that Matias could call out Groudon and end it all right now. One well-aimed Precipice Blade could do it. Everyone knows of this man’s strength. There will one day be a generation that live with the consequences of his actions. If anyone has the strength to pierce the core's protective armor, it's him.[break][break]
But Navy can’t agree to this. Not now. Not like this.[break][break]
“Need the council’s approval first.” A second thought is added to the first, almost an after thought. “Useless as they are.”[break][break]
He prides himself on having developed a resistance to the mist. Resistance is not immunity. Paranoia, resentment, hatred all seep in through the cracks in his mind’s firmament.[break][break]
“Not today, Silph. We’ll get them to agree when the time comes.” His tone makes no secret of how little he likes the words he spews. Looking around, he sees his greninja has vanished.

pink mist curls around his ankles, slowly rising up and up but never quite making it to his knees for whatever reason.[break][break]

no, they don't. the DROUGHT that creeps overhead should be telling enough of what he plans to do.[break][break]

it does not take long until the ground they stand on has become nothing more than a DESOLATE LAND.[break][break]

Never in his life has he been so afraid. Navy remembers his brother running up to him, eyes twinkling with excitement, as his teachers told him about ancient myths. Few Pokemon hold the hearts of Hoennians quite like the weather trio.[break][break]
What power this man holds. Even the mist of a god falls away before him. What is left in its place is desolation: a promise of impending doom.[break][break]
You may as well step aside, Michael.[break][break]
His father’s ghost whispers in his ear. The ghost that’s haunted him for ten years.[break][break]
You’re not man enough to stop him.[break][break]
Maybe he’s not. He’s not kyle lopez . He’s stood on the sidelines so long. He’s let other people take the lead…[break][break]
But right here, right now, he’s all Dewford has. Maybe nothing will happen if he simply stands aside and lets Matias do this. Maybe all that stands between their region and ruin is him.[break][break]
“Can’t let you do this, Silph.” Navy squares his shoulders, gunmetal eyes focused on the man. His heart beats like a war drum in his chest. He prays this warrior can’t smell his fear.[break][break]
He stands ready to defend a god that is his enemy, waiting on the approval of people chained by sloth. By all rights, he should be with Matias. They should march together to the core. But he can’t, not now. Not when he’s been charged with keeping the townsfolk of Dewford safe.[break][break]
Legs spread, he pulls out a pokeball. His sync stone comes to life, synergizing his heart with that of the dragon inside the ultra ball.[break][break]
“Hattori!” Navy cries as the ball comes loose, only now noticing Matias’s shadow bubbles. His greninja jumps, lunging at the neck of the man they call the Volatile.[break][break]
Vortigern breaks free of the ball, roaring. Two hearts beat as one. He, too, charges the Volatile, knowing that a god will soon emerge.

you serve your own agenda, consequences be dammed to those around you.[break][break]

Greyson Connors was right.[break][break]

"what are you afraid of? the consequences? you know we will never get anywhere without risk, so stop being a little bitch and get out of my way."[break][break]

the first pokeball cracks open in time with the EARTH SPIKE that shoots out to stop the greninja from ever reaching him.[break][break]

charizard's DRAGON PULSE comes swiftly as it looks to push the garchomp away, allowing matias to mount it as DESOLATE LAND fully spreads.[break][break]

the DROUGHT above them is damning.[break][break]

they rise into the air, hovering above as he issues one final warning.[break][break]

Vortigern feels what Navy needs before he says a word. They have a mutual understanding: neither ever touches the other’s back. Were this any other time, any other place, any other circumstance, the dragon would rip his trainer’s throat out. Even with the stakes so high, even with their souls bound by the sygna suit, he wouldn’t allow that.[break][break]
When Navy jumps on his back, the dragon doesn’t say a word. His human speaks for him.[break][break]
“Fuck you, asshole.” Not the most eloquent of speeches from Dewforf’s finest. “You’re not destroying my town. Not while I’m alive. You want this…you’re gonna have to kill me.”[break][break]
Vortigern surges up. A Jetstream trails behind him, white smoke in the sky. A stone edge forms along the length of his claws, the pain from the pulse stinging him. Bravery and rage mingle in his heart. Steeling themselves, the man and dragon lunge up, striking at him.[break][break]
“People were right about you.” His voice is accusatory.

“And how the hell can you know tha—”[break][break]
Before the might of the earth, what use are words?[break][break]
Rage gives way to fear and worry. Dragon and rider are linked by one mind. Turning into a dive, the solar beam bears upon them. At once, they know their course of action. It’s madness. The same people who said he was grand standing in the caves under Ever Grande would call him a fool for this.[break][break]
He does not run. He does not show his back. He charges Groudon and its beam. When by all rights it should hit him, instead it only hits a substitute of his own.[break][break]
Hattori, as he always does, saves Navy.[break][break]
With force that surprises even the black dragon, the frog pulls Navy aside. Vortigern continues his charge against the goliath. Oozing poison drips along his claw. What choice does he have but to fight? That’s the sort of animal this would-be champion is.[break][break]
“Feels like cheating!” He taunts from atop his dragon. Vortigern jabs his poisoned claw up into the creature’s belly, launching himself to carve up the armored torso.[break][break]
“Calling me a bitch and you won’t even fight me like a man, huh Silph?”

the taunts fall on deaf ears as his attention lies elsewhere, too focused on the organs that surround them to care about the pest that continues to chip away at groudon's armor.[break][break]

FIRE BLASTS erupt from where garchomp strikes, flames following after it as it carves up.[break][break]

sweat drips down as he stares up at the lightened organs. he has always said they need to be more proactive and less reactive. this is the first of many steps they will need to take, and he will do so with or without the others.[break][break]

"GROUDON."[break][break]

with a bellowing roar that reverberates through the unknown realm, PRECIPICE BLADES erupt out of the ground, each one looking to pierce through the organs above.[break][break]

Blades tear past Vortigern. What matter is a mere dragon to a god? This is not Reshiram, great seeker of truth, nor is it the black dragon of ideals Zekrom. Vortigern and Navy alike are powerless to stop the attack that comes. Navy screams out a throatless cry.[break][break]
It is not the sound of the harsh, jagged blades dashing against Eternatus’s organ that forever kills any chance that these two men will be friends. No, it is steel that burns that bridge.[break][break]
Navy never saw when Ironsides slipped free of his pokeball. So focused was he on the monster before him that Ironsides was far from his mind. Only the sound of the bird’s pained cry alerts him. His blood runs cold as the sheriff sees the first Pokemon he ever caught for the last time. Ironsides is pierced, his sturdy armor counting for nothing at all.[break][break]
His breathing is weak. For one last time, Navy’s eyes meet the bird’s golden orbs. His breath catches as he tries to speak. The memory of their meeting crosses his mind, being fifteen and trying to escape a bad home life. Ironsides had been young then, roosting on a Slateport rooftop. Somewhere along the way, they became friends.[break][break]
And now, he is dead. Within a minute, there is no body left. He falls and melts. A cascade of swirling pink energy rolls off the organ. It stands. Before the judge of the earth and his red behemoth, the skeletal dragon does not even deign to open an eye.[break][break]
But Vortigern grows. And as he grows, both man and mon dine upon fury so potent that their souls are truly one. That raw, red rage becomes the center of the detective’s whole world. Standing before the organ, Vortigern now stands as tall as Groudon. Any man who remembers Galar would remember why.[break][break]
It seems the Fourth Child has blessed his enemy, his defender. It is not outrage that Vortigern unleashes upon the god of the earth. That is too low and sorry a term. In the magenta light of the great enemy, it is a wyrmwind. His strikes are a storm. Navy stands upon his shoulder and struggles to hold on.[break][break]
Not is he alone. Hattori has pulled every other pokeball free. Olivier the Gardevoir, Flora the Blissey, and Eggbert the Togekiss. All of them were meant to support and augment. Standing amidst a battle of two giants, it is all they can do is offer Vortigern two fervent wishes that harm might be reflected away from the black dragon and their trainer.[break][break]
"I'm gonna kill you for that." Navy growls at the god and the man who serves him. Titles are forgotten. Everything is forgotten save the fact that he must throw this god away from the organ or die trying.

when nothing comes from the organ being struck, frustration rises and rises until it flows over the edge, unable to be contained any longer.[break][break]

"TCH."[BREAK][BREAK]

it should have worked. why didn't it? are they not strong enough to rid this realm of this plague? can the land titan not contend against the skeletal dragon?[break][break]

his thoughts are pushed aside as he sees the GARCHOMP before them joined by a few others. pride is what stops him from leaving. surely there is more that can be done.[break][break]

the MEGA STONE fastened in the harness on his shoulder gleams with life. the DROUGHT further empowers as charizard MEGA EVOLVES.[break][break]

"YOU CAN TRY."[break][break]

more PRECIPICE BLADES erupt from the ground, targeting anything in their way as they look to chip away at the organ.[break][break]

at the same time, charizard's INFERNO washes over them with the clear intent of incinerating all that continue to pester.[break][break]

Even in the throes of rage and grief, he understands. Vortigern does not need to be told what to do. They are linked by something deeper than words, deeper than vows, deeper than actions. Their nervous systems are one. Their minds are one. Their souls, too, are one.[break][break]
Precipice blades are met by a max quake. The ground shudders. While there may be nothing unique or impressive about the technique, it slams into the precipice blades and stops them short of the organ. Vortigern’s golden eyes meet the gold buried within Groudon. The black dragon snarls a challenge at the god.[break][break]
This is how He’s going to get them. Navy thinks with growing dread. With what He’s offering them, they can fight gods. And Arceus is it an intoxicating feeling.[break][break]
Below, as Matias’s Charizard evolves, he is beset on all sides by challenges. Even as the sun burns high and hot down in this hellish place, they strive to fight back. Olivier the Gardevoir attempts to hold back the Charizard with psychic might. Already, he feels the strain of this. Ash, by all rights, is a legend in its own rights – one of Matias’s signature Pokemon.[break][break]
Eggbert motions to Flora as if to say after you. Hastened by the Togekiss, she launches a toxic egg that means to explode on him. Eggbert doesn’t even feel the inferno that hit him. One single attack melts the flesh from his bone, reducing him to nothing more than a scorch mark upon the ground. Flora and Olivier both taste the flames, but the sacrifice of their fellow spares them from the worst of it.[break][break]
“Away!” Navy screams. “Get back, Silph! Take your god and go! Take him and go or I swear to Arceus this is gonna end in a bloodbath!”

notes about this post

Garchomp uses Max Quake. Gardevoir tries to hold back Ash and his Inferno with psychic. Togekiss uses after you and promptly dies. Blissey uses toxic on Ash. I swear to God I'll put the updated pkmn list up if I ever do a post at home instead of work lmao

their attempts to destroy the organs seem weak and feeble, leading them to the undeniable conclusion that they have failed. he knows this for a fact now as the PRECIPICE BLADES spill more energy but not blood.[break][break]

the same energy empowers the garchomp, allowing it to put up more of a fight than usual.[break][break]

TOXIC puts them on a limited timer, one he intends to see to fruition.[break][break]

there is nothing left for him here but pride and annoyance keep him tethered, not yet willing to leave.[break][break]

"FUCK OFF, NAVIDSON."[BREAK][BREAK]

as groudon channels another SOLAR BEAM that looks to raze down the terrain, charizard rises up, channeling energy of its own.[break][break]

navy was right: charizard is one of matias' signature pokemon. it has fought wars and mythicals and legendaries and lived to tell the tale.[break][break]

this is the same charizard that killed Melody Miro's relicanth.[break][break]

the same Z-MOVE comes now.[break][break]

Z-MOVE: HURRIFERNO[break]
charizard traps the target in a vortex of flames that BURNS and BINDS the target. this prevents them from escaping.
