[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]The blood moon rises once again.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Aurelie gasped and staggered as the TOXIC CHAIN extending from her chest was swiftly severed by the Togekiss' AIR SLASH. The lion's paw disappeared in an incongruous shower of magenta sparkles, and the overwhelming urge to cannibalize her fellow trainers faded away like a bad dream. The redhead slumped over in sudden shock, her body freezing in mid-strike as her thoughts became her own again.

"What...who...how…" she stammered, her uncovered eye wide with confusion. Then, realizing where she was and what she'd been doing, Aurelie turned bright red.

"I'm... so sorry," she said lamely and inadequately to , who thankfully didn't appear livid with rage or incandescent with the desire for vengeance, at least for now.

Feeling fairly sure she recognized the Togekiss who had freed her, Aurelie raised her voice and turned her head to call out to . "Jack! Thank you. I owe you." Then she bent down and hugged her Tinkatuff, thanking it wordlessly as well for its intervention.

There was no time for more than that, though, when the Tera crystals in the cavern shimmered and a space-time distortion opened before them. The enraged Ursaluna slew and beheaded the fake Spencer Modell, but the Megalopolan reinforcements were awakening from their slumber. Even more strangely, through the distortion, Aurelie was shocked to see what looked like glimpses of...history?

How that was possible, she couldn't even begin to fathom.

Of course, they had no idea what history it was, or whose past. But the terrifying thought occurred to Aurelie that it might be their own past—Hoenn's past. Though she wanted nothing more than to somehow trap and strand the invading Megalopolans on the other side, Aurelie shuddered to think about trapping them truly in the past.

In a past that wasn't in any way ready for them. Insane though it was, Aurelie wondered if it made more sense to follow the others who were boarding the spaceship, help to steal it, and trap the Megalopolans here. She didn't think any further than that before she started pelting toward the spaceship herself.

"Stay behind me! Use THUNDER WAVE on the reinforcements to deafen and shock them, at least take them off-guard!" she told her Tinkatuff. The Pokemon nodded fiercely.

To her fellow trainers also boarding the spaceship, Aurelie asked, "Is there any way we can get word out to the rest of Hoenn? If we're trapping the Megalopolans here with us, we should warn everyone else that they're here. There's got to be a way to get that message out to someone who'll listen, right?"

TL;DR:
- CHOICE 1
- Apologizes to Yuina for attacking her, and thanks Jack for the intervention of his TOGEKISS
- Tells her TINKATUFF to use THUNDER WAVE to shock, awe, paralyze, and slow down the reinforcements
- Asks if there's any way to get word out about the Megaolopolans, if they're planning to leave them here in modern-day Hoenn
- Probably never getting her machete back at this point

[attr="class","textbox"]@baki had been just fast enough to stop Isaac from doing something stupid. Y'know. Less stupid than normal. When the explosion roared out from the edge of the ship, the only thing to fall to the ground were the shriveled remains of the Toxic Chain. The toxic need for freedom pulsed out of his head, and the fury on his face as he wheeled towards her gave way to an apologetic grin.[break][break]

"I owe ya one for that," he said, walking past and giving her a pat on the shoulder. No longer was he beelining for the spaceship. There was something else, something more important, he'd need to take care of here. "Sorry you had to clean up after another of my messes."[break][break]

At least this next one was all his to tend to.[break][break]

Poor was in a bad way. A Toxic Chain erupting from her body. A big bump on her forehead from where had given her the El Kabong treatment. She wasn't moving much, and yet the Toxic Chain was writhing in irritation. Everything about her condition broke his heart, and it was enough to get him pulling out the shriveled, severed stump of his own Toxic Chain.[break][break]

"C'mon, sis. Up we go." He scooped her up in his arms, not caring how much she clawed, kicked, and bit at him. She wasn't herself right now, even moreso than usual. It wouldn't be fair to blame her. "Kili, think I can get a hand here?" In response, the Camerupt shook its humps, shards of rock falling from the space between them.[break][break]

"That'll do." He lifted up the biggest, most weaponizable shard, slashing through Eris' chain with it. "There ya go."[break][break]

Perhaps the chain being cut would ease her struggling. Perhaps it would only make it worse. Whatever the case, Isaac would hold Eris close, checking her for any wounds or pains. He softly, tenderly put a hand atop her forehead, trying to feel for the bump. Once he found it, he sighed softly, gently rubbing the area around it to try and ease the pain.[break][break]

"It's okay. I'm gonna get you outta here. I promise," he assured her. "We've just got a little further to go. I'm gonna need you to hold on for me, okay?"[break][break]

He'd walk for miles, for years, for the rest of his life, if it would get this poor child the happy ending she deserved.[break][break]

In a chaotic dance of teeth and nail, the flailing of limbs and the choir filled with hatred and pain. His body moving on his own as he attacked with a ferocity that he didn't know he was capable of, a hunger he had never felt before in his life and the fear of losing control forever suddenly setting in.[break][break]

As he scuffled with Temp he is suddenly kicked away from his target, his body taking a quick second to glance around before once again moving towards what he perceived as a tasty snack but before he could make another strike he was being scooped up and carried, confusion embracing his mind once again.[break][break]

As soon as his impromptu landing took place he trying to get up to attack once again, but once again before he could react the newly formed limb lost control of his body as cut it. Falling to his knees before his body could fully regain control of itself. "I'll owe you a big one." Aidan would say looking at Rowan, fear still looming at the back of his eyes. Slowly picking himself up and becoming the embodiment of "on sight".[break][break]

"We play then!" He'd say popping one his pokeballs, bringing out Breaker, his Scizor. "Alright! If anyone weird looking gets close hit em'" The Scizor would nod and prepare itself to use DOUBLE HIT on any Megalopolans that tried to get inside the ship with them. Taking a quick nod towards a new person who had joined them ( ), they'd have time for introductions after the dust had settled, or at least he hoped they would have time.[break][break]

Boy, oh, boy. Would he have a lot to apologize to after this.[break][break]

His body is slashed and battered by so many attacks. Two on one is hard enough- but four on one? Absolutely shit. Thankfully, , , and seem to get some sense back to them. Unfortunately, does not. Tempest tries to land a a square punch on the other's jaw, trying to knock him away- and maybe out. Thankfully, has his back.[break][break]

The bear bursts into Fairy type Crystals and those reinforcements they stalled finally arrive. Like all other cornered rats, Tempest turns to run for the ship.[break][break]

Compass joins him, hooves and boots pounding on the ground as Temp tries to meet up with his sisterr-in-law.[break][break]

He licks blood and dust from split lips, a blast of a Twin Beam trying to help cover their retreat.[break][break]

"Lulu, are we about to go to fucking space?"[break][break]

Tempest feels like he shouldn't be as surprised as he is. Hoenn was filled with wild shit like this.[break][break]

It rings in her ears. It roars in her body. The need to show just how intimidating she can be. Even when 's Togekiss utilizes a SPRINGTIDE STORM to strike her, her body holds steadfast. Even when the toxic chain from batters against her body, she remains ever the venomous parasite, ready to strike. The spores from , however... slows her down. Suddenly, she feels like she's floating, her movement clumsy. Her mind slowing down.[break][break]

In some manner of way, its in this means, her body slows, that she feels it. She's trying, with all her might, to grab onto this monstrosity born from her own body, the chain from her back. Maybe it was the taste of that Herba Mystica... by Genevieve finds herself beginning to rip at her own body.[break][break]

The pain is excruciating. Gripping into it, blood tinging her fingernails, as she pulls with every bit of might she can, her mind still unable to fight it fully, but she forces herself towards the ship. She can't get this part of her body to work for her... so she hatches an idea. If the chain won't dissipate, she'll aim towards everyone going to the ship.[break][break]

And with it, strike at everyone so slow, she HAS to miss.[break][break]

"AV... OID... THE... STRIKE." she is biting into her lip, as her body screams. A strike towards , , attempting to push at towards the ship more than them, an obvious movement of the chain, as it is forced into a trajectory against stray Megapolan. The sour taste in her mouth from the HERBA MYSTICA she chowed the only thing she can focus on. It's the only thing keeping her sane. A strike with that massive tendril from her back, imposing yet slow, attacks holding , blood seeping her lips, as she hopes he can pull out of the way so she can rip and tear into another of them. It was slow enough. She doesn't want to hurt either of them.[break][break]

She didn't want to hurt anyone, but as she is crying, and beating into everyone, she keeps attempting to ruin her own aim by the aid of the spores, her fingers still attempting to tear this chain from her body.[break][break]

"GET. OUT. OF. ME." Her pupils shrunken, she is attempting to tear this chain off through sheer willpower now as she strikes at more Megapolan, attempting to miss against , , and , as her Fennekin attempts to LIGHT SCREEN at every turn to keep her from hitting her target.[break][break]

NOTES


- STANDARD ATTIRE, YELLOW BRIGHT PONCHO[break]
- Real good thing Genny is both spored, injured, and tasting that herba mystica from last post. She's finding power to resist it.[break]
- Though she attempts to pull out the tendril, she is actively forcing herself to miss against Thomas, Desi, Izzy, Eris, Yuina, Aurelie, and Jack.[break]
- Breaking this girl wide open as she races into the ship, trying to hit stray Megapolan on the way, as she tells people to AVOID HER ATTACKS. Too slow to hit the broadside of a barn.[break]
- She is screaming for this TOXIC CHAIN to get the everliving fuckle out of her.[break]
- Oh yeah. Choice 1. Problematic Genny trying her best to strike people, as Akane the Fennekin continues to aid anyone attacked with LIGHT SCREEN.

[attr="class","inner-finally"]For a moment, she gets what she wishes for. The sheer impact of frying pan against her head causes white noise to flare up and ring right in her ears. But in turn, she stumbles, falls over her own two feet as she clutches at the sore spot. And without the slightest hint of restraint, she begins to sob -[break][break]

What a horrible day this is, getting nearly drowned by corpses? Poisoned by Nihilego? Where the hell are they? Her head really hurts. The crying and fighting really isn't helping. She just wants to curl up into a ball and cry herself to sleep. Would that be okay?[break][break]

It certainly sounds like a good idea until someone lays a hand on her, gently scooping her right off the ground. Her first instinct is to start clawing, kicking whatever she can reach as she considers just biting their hands right off. But the firm grip on her wrist isn't something she can twist out of, the sharp edge of the rock swiftly aimed through her own chain and shackles.[break][break]

Even so she struggles, discomfort surging through her chest and making her squirm. Her head really hurts - Until it just so slightly doesn't, the gentle rubbing slowly but surely helping to chase the pain away. She clings to , tighter than he holds onto her, fingernails gradually digging into his skin as she bites down on her lips.[break][break]

Get her out of here? Yes... she'd very much like that. The only problem is that everyone's getting in their way -[break][break]

"Behind..." She murmurs, ever so certain that he'd heed her call. In a flash of red, a Luxray emerges, ready to crunch down on the approaching tendril and rip it away.

Elliot's body thrashed wildly and violently. Attempting to wrest itself free from the senior ranger's vice-like hold. But to no avail. While Elliot was left to watch from the inside as his voice snarled out insults and threats towards , the Rookie Ranger felt helpless as he tried to gain control of himself. But the Toxic Chain was just too strong! He was but a prisoner of his own body... [break][break]"Raghhhh!" Elliot watched in horror as he attempted to bite down on Jack's exposed limb. Savagely fighting to break free as he flailed desperately trying to meet the Megalopan's orders. While Elliot screamed internally in shock and fear for his superior's safety. The moment his body stopped biting was the second Jack's pokemon had to react. And with the Megalopan dead, it might have just gave Elliot another small chance of freedom. 'The Toxic Chain! Please, hit it! Save me!'

Fully glad to see safe and sound, the young trainer breathes a sigh of relief as she goes to save her beloved. If anyone could get out of their trance it would be her. Leaving that task to the Galarian princess, Noel is left with a difficult task. To flee in the spaceship or to stay and fight. Watching as everyone around him makes their own decision, he knows what must be done. The right choice for him would be to protect the land of Hoenn and its people from this threat even if he has to risk his own life.[break][break]

Stepping between the ship and the Megalopians, he releases his Whimsicott out and begins to prepare their attack.[break][break]

"All right buddy... I know you can you do this. We're going to have to show these guys just what exactly we're made of."[break][break]

The two of them nod to each other. The distortion surrounding them unnerved them to no end. Would this be their last stand? The fluffy Pokemon takes up a stance, meditating for a moment and shutting its eyes as the hordes of alien creatures were advancing and time was of the essence. The grass and fairy type harnessed energy inside its body, a power surging inside that was waiting to be released at any moment. The opposing force grew closer and closer and just when all seemed lost, the Whimsicott re-opens its eyes and lets out a battle cry. A swirl of energy unfolding around its mouth as the Solar Beam unleashes on their foes. It would keep the laser steady as it slowly waves the beam around in a wide area to take out as many Megalopolans and Ultra Beasts as possible.[break][break]

His mind was a state of rage as tried to struggle against the Mismagius's psychic like a mad animal however Elise seem to give  the change to attack and sent him crashing into the walls. It was there he managed to regained some of his reasons. He minds was in uproar. What was right or wrong anymore he couldn't tell whatsoever? He left Fury as the toxins emotions like a violin. He now filled courage to what need to be for the twisted aliens to return home. He followed the Megalopolan to the ship.

He didn't feel or make any reason but that all he would think about until he heard her voice again. It seemed she had follow him too. He was damsel in distress this time around. "Elise, I am sorry what said early. I can't control myself." He felt like monster he wanted to runaway before more of his friends and allies got him. Only paused once his beloved kiss him. It took a moment to realized they were sharing their first kiss in most unromantic but it he didn't care.

The courage he previous felt quickly turn into lust. As pulled Elise closer turned the simple kiss into a full event but then pulled away. "I can't-"  Dammit he was man and some men had urges but this was not bloody fucken for them. Although he felts the of the spicy herb mystica from her mouth. He did want only want to run and despite the will of the chain he forced him to so soon

Deep into the depth were  and the other were. Cinder seemed to have followed him not by her willing however or she planned another attack. He couldn't let this happened. He threw his bag towards him while he taunted the fire/flying. Cinder had no control no matter the feelings. The toxic still took over her and in fit of rage she did that thinkable.  Cinder in heatwave on Cade! Cade only beloved pokemon had become a traitor.

Cade tries to fight back against Mismagius's psychic but fails
Cade get slammed into the wall by like a WWE pro wrestler 
Cade is deep turmoil but by follows "Spencer" to the ship
He stops by  who kissed and he almost give up to dark desires but pulled away he gotten a taste of the spicy herba mystica from her and run at the last moment
How Romantic! -.-
Choice 1 despites everything Cade ends up near  yet again and without say a word toss one bag toward him. Al the while cade's Charizard is about to attack him again but cade managed to taunt into using heatwave on HIM INSTEAD
WE take one for the team!

Bad Moon Rising



Easy peasy. The Toxic Chain was cut in half, though Alba didn't really pay attention to whether it liberated or not. He was more interested in picking up and pocketing the thing that was hopefully just a weird growth, and not part of an actual tongue.[break][break]

But with the way things were moving a mile a minute, there was no time to linger on the Chain. There was the spaceship, of course, and the bear, even if his attention had wavered from that creature. Not to mention the fact that he was a white guy.[break][break]

Wait. Huh?[break][break]

No, nevermind that. The slightly-less-white guy had left him with a job to do, and with God as his witness, he was going to do it. With a snap of his fingers, the stage was set as he made his escape.[break][break]

"Alright then…"[break][break]

A dread Blood Moon hung over the two Pokémon, bathing them in a crimson spotlight. Hopes and dreams, sound and fury, the very essence of rock and roll bubbled within as Toxtricity crackled with sheer musical fever. Two spirits surged as one, melding into a two-'mon band ready to debut and disband all at once…[break][break]

"HUMANS AND ALIENS, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR…" But what they were putting their hands together for would never be revealed. Whatever Alba was about to finish that sentence with was drowned out as the power chord roared, loud enough to rock the heavens. The ringing in his ears provided the harmony — and maybe some blood, he couldn't quite tell — but there was tragically little time to admire their handiwork.[break][break]

They had a ship to steal, after all.

The eruption had died down a little while after Vanilla was in the middle of it. was still under the control of the chains, busy trying to fight somebody else. She rushed to go get him, diving and ducking under people while getting ready to plot a course of action to tear that chain out of his head. It wasn't too hard, or so it seemed. "Isaac!" Vanilla shouted at the man while he was still being controlled. Thankfully, his chain was complete destroyed by the fortunate timing of @tsubaki , as the teen smiled as he returned to his normal faculties. "Nice one, Tsubaki!"

She flashed a relieved smile towards the two, but the order was given to the rest of the chained people by their superior. They didn't have enough time to go and free every single person, but they could at least try and control whatever was causing them to act this way. With the leader taken care of in a bloody matter, this left the people with a sudden choice to make. Either leave the Megalopolans in the past and rid them from Hoenn or take the risk and hijack the ship and take them with them back home.

Cauli came down the the sky to roost by her owner, which Vanilla rewarded the Altaria with a comforting embrace. Her soft plumage was still something that she enjoyed the feeling of, even after all that time. It brought some amount of calm to Vanilla as she looked up to see Thomas doing well still. "I'm fine!" she called out to him, waving her arms. Her tutor was making a mad dash to the ship, along with the many others that had gotten the same idea. Vanilla did have some hang ups, but it seemed like the best play. It beat being thrown back to the past, after all.

"Time to show these guys how we earbed the Quick Badge. Ready, Cauli?" The Altaria chirped in pleasure as Vanilla slid on board. Although her stature was about the size of the Altaria, Cauli thankfully was larger than the average of her species. Once fully boarded, her eyes hooked onto Thomas currently cutting somebody free from their chains. Even when the world was collapsing around them, he was worried about other people. It was part of the reason why she viewed him so highly. Even if he gave the look of somebody hardened, Thomas couldn't help but be a big damned hero.

"Let's ride!"

Cauli took off, flapping her wings as she jumped towards and , managing to land next to the two as Kazimir was recovering from having his chain pulled off. She offered a smile to Thomas, nodding her head. "You guys okay? C'mon! We've got a ship to catch." Her hands clutched on Thomas and Kazimir's bodies as the distortion around them was growing worse and worse. "Cauli, get ready!" The Altaria took a moment to slowly gather energy as Vanilla looked down at the recently freed Kazimir. It could have been a pretty bad idea, but she was confident they'd be able to make it. "Hold on and pray that this is gunna work!" After surrounded tmitself in energy, Cauli would complete the use of its SKY ATTACK and take off in a burst of smoke.

The Altaria and its riders sped towards the ship and its controls at top speeds, Vanilla having to grip both men with her full strength and try to keep them on with her as they pushed through the crowd towards the ship and aimed at any Megalopolans in their way.

TL;DR:
↳ Vanilla readies herself to break 's chain before @tsubaki beats her to it!
↳ OPTION A: She meets up with Cauli again and notes that people are running towards the ship and decides to join them
↳ Vanilla rides her Altaria towards and .
↳ With the terrain worsening, Vanilla takes both and has her Altaria use SKY ATTACK to boost them towards the control room.
↳ Hopefully this doesn't backfire.

Years of combat training allowed her to know her body better than anything. Even if one of her senses had been cut off momentarily, the other's would make up for it. It's why she could tell that her hit had landed successfully even if she didn't see it happen herself. Though it hadn't been a vital point hit, she was prepared to lunge and attack again, overcome with the intense sensation to secure fresh meat for the long journey home.[break][break]

But before she could pounce on her target, the blinders from her eyes were lifted. It was like her brain that had been caught in a foggy state-of-mind shattered into her now current state of clarity. The poison she'd been effected by earlier seemed to have subsided a bit and the pain, dizziness, and nausea that had once overwhelmed her where nowhere to be found now.[break][break]

Tori touched at her eyes in disbelief as she began to pause for a moment to take in her surroundings. While it might have felt as if someone else had been controlling her body, she was still somewhat cognizant of everything that had gone on. That was evident by the grit of her jaw as she clenched her teeth.[break][break]

But she didn't have time to wallow in despair at how she was once again taken advantage of because she was too weak to be able to properly handle herself and the enemy. Reinforcements from the Megalopolans were closing in and a decision had to be made. Lavender hues wandered towards the ship as she pursed her lips.[break][break]

She wasn't quite sure what was going on but she was sure they were out numbered and after dealing what she just went through, she wasn't sure what other alien technology they would encounter. Wouldn't it be better to take their prize away from them while also single handedly distancing themselves from the threat?[break][break]

A deep frown formed on her features as she pondered that thought a little longer. Normally she'd want to face the enemy head one and fight. But was it because of her recent taste of defeat that she was considering retreating? Did that make her weak or was this a strategic move? The flash of light by her side is what caught her attention.[break][break]

Her Lucario had released himself once again now that she seemed to be in her right mind. Or perhaps his struggling efforts now finally bore fruit once the suspicious hold on his trainer had been released. Either way he barked loudly to catch her attention. "Oz..." Tori said as she glanced at him. He nodded his head in the direction of the ship and her eyes followed.[break][break]

"You're right, we gotta move." she said with a firm nod. She could contemplate over her performance and decisions later, right now she needed to book it. It would seem there were other's who were thinking similar to her as well, because they were also making a beeline for the alien ship. As broke through the crowd Osiris made sure to use his advantages in CLOSE COMBAT to their advantage as both he and Tori carved a path through the Megalopolans towards their destination, the Megalopolan ship.[break][break]

Ambrose was saved from his berserk state by a nearby stranger with what seemed to be his own, beady eyed bear! As the growth was cut, Ambrose screamed as his bleeding tongue shrank back to its normal size. As he came to his senses, he was foremost burdened by a sense of panic. Did he just lose his money maker? His golden ticket? HIS LIFE LINE!? Ambrose felt around the inside of his mouth, sighing with relief when it seemed as if only the tip of his tongue was wounded.

What came next was a sense of sober clarity, along with the embarrassment that came with the memory of his recent behavior. He was not pleased to be made a fool of by--himself. Or rather his most secret desires amplified to a toxic degree. Holding his mouth closed, Ambrose looked around for his savior--only to catch him running off with the one known as Shred. Ambrose hated having an unpaid debt, so he decided to run along to at least find a moment to extend his thanks.

What he could not have anticipated was that the duo would deliver such a resounding cord, that it would ignite Ambrose's soul. As he caught up to them, the duo's epic musical assault would grab Ambrose by the ears and force his face into the delicious cake of proper rock. The visual of the bloodmoon alongside the toxtricity was an inspiring sight, and by the end Ambrose more invigorated than ever.

By the time he recovered from his awe though, the two were once again running off. Ambrose shook his head to wave off his shock and began running after them toward the ship.

"Holth up you thwo! I wanth tho shower you with athmirathion!!!"

tl;dr
--Ambrose has been freed by from his toxic trance and he feels really silly about his behavior.
--Ambrose is inspired by the power of rock and follows and to express his thanks.
--CHOICE 1 GANG YES!

[attr="class","star2tsu"]A vision makes her head swim, and Tsubaki suddenly clutches her head. Wincing through the pain, she tries to keep focus on the chaos unfolding all around her.[break][break]

"Of all the... uhhh... hey, genius, you sure that was the cure?"[break][break]

Tsubaki asks , glancing down at 's sorry state. The toxic chain doesn't seem to being going away. [break][break]

If anything, it only made the man's condition worse.[break][break]

She wracks her brain, thinking of what to do, when the crazy conspiracy theorist from before lunges onto the giant man from behind. aims to sever the toxic chain from Kazimir's body like some insane hero of myth battling a hydreigon and cutting off one of its heads.[break][break]

"... Ohhh... the purple thing, right... whoops..."[break][break]

She pieces it all together a little too late, sheepishly turning away from the two of them wrestling. There's no dwelling on mistakes. There's too little time for that.[break][break]

She turns to face the ship, the Ursaluna holding the Megalopolan in its jaws, and standing in front of it all. A man continually apologizing for some fate beyond his control. Supposedly snapped out of his own trance, taking up in his arms, Tsubaki glares back at him as if scolding him for his gentle words.[break][break]

"Hey, now! Never apologize for stuff beyond your control! You don't owe me or anyone anything! [break][break]

... but if you insist, then... take care of that girl and we'll call it even! Okay? Good!"[break][break]

Tsubaki enlists Isaac to go ahead and do what he's already doing. After all, Navy'd be pissed if anything bad happened to Eris. Hell, he'd be pissed off at all of this. Aliens, a buncha dead bodies, and people he cares about getting stuck under a swamp in the middle of it all while he's off somewhere far away, none the wiser. [break][break]

But it fell to them to take care of this problem, one way or the other. The Sheriff couldn't solve every case.[break][break]

Tsubaki reads the situation at hand. A horde of Ultra Beasts pressing down, a distortion raging around them all. There's the chance to cut and run, saving themselves at the cost of others, or a chance to stand united.[break][break]

A year ago she'd have chosen the first, no question. But now...[break][break]

"Koyo! Do what you can to block 'em! We're not leaving anyone behind!"[break][break]

The kitsune's eyes glow, and his extrasensory manifests the shape of a giant hand, swatting at the flying Ultra Beasts like flies while Tsubaki runs to the ship. [break][break]

"Everyone, get aboard! Let's take this and get the hell out of here!"[break][break]

Unable to maintain his stand against the coming horde for long, there is little delay between it and his retreat towards the megalopolan ship. Others taking their stand allow him to manage this unharmed, as well as the LIGHT SCREEN quickly projected by the mega-grimmsnarl following close behind.

It was all becoming a bit much for what he expected to be a typical search-and-rescue. He would've liked to gripe about it, though Derek gave pause upon observing 's apparent injury. And the manner in which he handled it.

It made him think about the face of the league when he first arrived in the region. When Thomas was still a member of the elite four, and how different it felt to stand with all of them back then. In the mix of it all, what could one more leap of faith cost him?

tl;dr
- CHOICE 1
- mega-grimmsnarl 2/3
- Mega-Grimmsnarl uses LIGHT SCREEN
- Derek proceeds towards the megalopolan ship
