TOXIC CHAINS


ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Allies suddenly turn on each other, their bodies sprouting horrid manifestations of sarcoid desire. Pokemon and trainers attempt to protect themselves from the gnashing teeth of Megalopolans who hope to subdue them for the ride home.[break][break]


[break][break]




[break][break]





  • 's toxic chain sprouts from her head to strike , while her SHADOW ALAKAZAM USES DRAGON HAMMER on a nearby Megalopolan who mistakenly believes the shadowed beast is on their side.
  • [break][break]

  • is struck by a vicious ; however, as his LOKIX uses FIRST IMPRESSION on 's toxic chain, and their toxic chain hunts down and his LOKIX.
  • [break][break]

  • and 's combined attacks with their toxic chains strike LOKIX after it cuts 's toxic chain off.
  • [break][break]

  • comes to 's rescue. His BLOODMOON URSALUNA DITTO cuts 's toxic chain in half with its FURY SWIPES.
[break][break]





  • After speaking with , grows a toxic chain, approaching alongside the others.
  • [break][break]

  • grows a toxic chain in the shape of a twisted dove wing. He draws a knife to strike , while his EMPOLEON expels MIST to obscure the battlefield. However, the fight grows chaotic within its haze.
  • [break][break]

  • turns on too with his toxic chain. He attempts to STRANGLE & BITE the man.
  • [break][break]

  • crawls after with the leg-like toxic chains on his back. He jumps at the man ferally as his UMBREON uses SNARL.
  • [break][break]

  • , connected by way of his SYGNA SUIT connection with FIRAGARIF uses REFLECT to protect himself. Under duress, his FIRAGARIF attempts to activate a FAIRY-TYPE TERA CRYSTAL on the BLOODMOON URSALUNA; however, the Pokemon can not eat such a thing. Instead, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA TERASTALLIZES, the NEARBY TERA CRYSTALS allowing an organic Terastallization instance to occur.
  • [break][break]

  • Eventually, 's REFLECT shatters under the overwhelming beat up.
[break][break]


[break][break]





  • 's toxic chain rows into a pair of hands that cover her eyes. Savagely, she rushes for and her CLEFABLE with poison daggers. Her PHIONE assists.
  • [break][break]

  • 's question is answered by the Megalopolans (who were the prisoners): "to lure you closer to the ship. we do not want to lug food from the top of the cliff. you'll be fresher this way."
  • [break][break]

  • In midst the chaos, 's CLEFABLE uses a MOONBLAST on the Megalopolans. The attack is made more successful by the distractions provided by 's KOMMO-O. The noisy scales allow to protect herself from the aliens with a backpack, but she is struck by one of 's daggers. Though it is not a serious wound, the adrenaline begins to pump.
  • [break][break]

  • 's GYARADOS attempts to CRUNCH , but may be affected by 's KOMMO-O and its CLANGING SCALES.
  • [break][break]



  • attempts to sneak closer to the lead Megalopolan, "SPENCER MODELL" under cover of his CHARIZARD'S SMOKESCREEN. 's GOODRA attempts to sweep him with its IRON TAIL; however, an expanding SPACE-TIME DISTORTION protects him.
  • [break][break]

  • In the distance, reinforcements arrive. 's MEGA GRIMMSNARL attempts to use G-MAX SNOOZE as they encroach. Briefly, the incoming army is placated by slumber; however, it will not last long. But it buys everyone some time to make a choice.



URSALUNA &[break]THE TOXIC CHAINED


AS THE TOXIC CHAINED AND MEGALOPOLANS BEGIN THEIR ASSAULT, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA fights valiantly alongside the unaffected. However, during the battle, the bear becomes confused by the obfuscating MIST of 's EMPOLEON. To make matters worse, 's GALARIAN MR. MIME'S FREEZE-DRY causes the bear to slip as 's CAMERUPT uses ERUPTION.[break][break]

Due to the attrition of battle and the aforementioned events, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA seemingly inches closer to death; however, the FAIRY-TYPE TERASTALLIZATION conferred by and his FIRAGIRAF grant the bear a lucky chance.[break][break]

[break][break]

THOSE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TOXIC CHAIN CUT
's tonguework produces surprising results. The distraction is enough for to resist the effects of the TOXIC CHAIN and in dazzling shimmer, the TOXIC CHAIN DISSIPATES as the TERA CRYSTALS shine around them. Others experience similar releases:

THE FOLLOWING TRAINERS HAVE THEIR TOXIC CHAIN DISAPPEAR:


THE FOLLOWING TRAINERS ARE STILL "TOXIC CHAINED":


THE FOLLOWING TRAINERS HAVE HAD THEIR TOXIC CHAIN CUT. THEY CAN DECIDE WHETHER THEY WANT TO REMAIN "TOXIC CHAINED" OR BE FREED THIS ROUND:


Those who have eaten HERBA MYSTICA PLANTS may find that the food allows them to resist the effects of the toxic chain. However, curiously, the HERBA MYSTICA MOCHI seemingly exacerbates the effects of the toxic chain. Thank goodness for that kiss.


SPACE-TIME DISTORTION



ALL AROUND THE SULLIED CAVERN AND SPACE SHIP, THE TERA CRYSTALS DANCE WITH RADIANCE. The Megalopolan who has assumed the form of SPENCER MODELL smiles as the crystals grant his desire. As 's CHARIZARD'S SMOKESCREEN is blown back by the expanding SPACE-TIME DISTORTION. is slowed enough by 's efforts to prevent him from being blown back and harmed by the sudden expansion too.[break][break]

As the crackling energies of the distortion touch the space ship, the lights on the vessel begin to flicker like bioluminescent life. However, any engineer, any mechanic may find this interaction to be suspicious. In what manner would the ship properly retrieve and catalyze the SPACE-TIME DISTORTION'S ENERGY? Is this simply the product of MEGALOPOLAN TECHNOLOGY, or something else?[break][break]

The TERA CRYSTALS shine brilliantly—and those with keen eyes, will be able to see strains of mega stone minerals on the cavern walls flickering under their lights.[break][break]

"SPENCER MODELL" and the surviving Megalopolans run toward the space ship. Within the distortion, shards scatter from breaks in space and time. The world warps. Physical space glitches as whispers and voices from dimensions beyond filter in like ghostly radio waves.[break][break]

The lead Megalopolan sees several of the toxic chains dissipate from their human hosts. He is quick to pivot, especially as reinforcements arrive, still concussed by sleep through 's MEGA GRIMMSNARL's efforts.[break][break]

"come, come!" The lead Megalopolan says as he sees a couple more toxic chains fade from their human hosts. "to the ship!"[break][break]

But before the Megalopolan can direct , , , , @elliot, , , , , and to follow him into the ship, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA roars. While the SPACE-TIME DISTORTION storms around the bear, memories of its owner engulf its thoughts like a deluge. Despite its singed fur and bleeding punctures from Megalopolan teeth, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA pounces with pure ferocity on "SPENCER MODELL".[break][break]

The FAIRY-TYPE TERASTALLIZATION grants the URSALUNA the power it needs to complete the deed. The Megalopolan screams as his head is pierced and torn into by bear teeth. The body flails about like a fish tail before silence floods down into limp limbs. Upon death, the man's feigned skin shifts from pale to blue. The BLOODMOON URSALUNA releases him—and the body falls, barely headless.


DILEMMA


'S MEGA GRIMMSNARL WILL NOT LAST LONG. The sheer amount of reinforcements, alongside their ULTRA BEASTS manage to leak past the cliffside. They soar down towards the party in the middle of the distortion, firing adhesive poisons from their NAGANADELS & POIPOLES. The gym leader knows that they will soon be overrun.[break][break]

Slowly, the distortion shows signs of fading. As reality shifts and breaks, glimpses of the past can be seen. Perhaps and the BLOODMOON URSALUNA will be able to witness emblems of an old life flickering in and out of existence. The latter will fight inside the incoming distortion.[break][break]

However, the gym leader's valiant defense grants everyone enough time to make a choice:[break][break]

  • CHOICE 1: Board and break into ship controls to escape with the Bloodmoon Ursaluna, leaving this significant Megalopolan-related risk and consequence in Hoenn.[break][break]
    The BLOODMOON URSALUNA WILL NOT LOSE A "LIFE".
  • [break][break]

  • CHOICE 2: Lure the Megalopolans into the distortion and fight them long enough for them to be warped somewhere else, presumably the past, but ultimately protecting Hoenn for longer.[break][break]
    The BLOODMOON URSALUNA WILL LOSE A "LIFE".
[break][break]

ROLL MECHANIC


IN YOUR NEXT POST, characters must decide between CHOICE 1 or CHOICE 2.[break][break]

The choice with the HIGHER TOTAL OF ROLLS will be what happens in the subsequent round. Depending on the outcome, an in-character circumstance and scenario will force characters attempting either choice into taking the other.[break][break]

Those who have been unable to resist the toxic chain's effects will ROLL WITH DISADVANTAGE:

[attr="class","rowwtw"]A frustrated growl rumbled in Rowan's throat as his knife bounces off the Reflect that summons around his form, unable to find purchase upon their body. "Coward!" He yells, practically foaming at the mouth. A hand grips firm on the hilt, prepared to launch a follow-up attack and hopefully break through their defenses.[break][break]

A clarity washes over him, the Toxic Chain dissipating as his will manages to overcome the control that poisoned his mind. Rowan's breath comes out shaky as he feels the blade in his hand, his body positioned towards Tempest. "I'm...sorry." He apologizes to his brother-in-law, sheepishly taking a few steps backward and sliding the knife back into it's sheath.[break][break]

There was no time to balk, the situation too dire to mire in his embarrassment. Eyes flicked towards , damning the illusion of their acquaintance. "I'm going after the ship." Leaving the Megalopolans stranded on Hoenn wasn't ideal, but allowing them to fulfil their plans wasn't something he could abide, these people were too dangerous to be allowed to act with autonomy.[break][break]

"Adrian, you coming?" He looked towards , offering a small wink before leaping onto Mistral's back. The Empoleon surged forward, arms reaching out to scoop the still-enthralled into their grasp, at Rowan's command. "Sorry, mate. Playtimes over." The Rocket would thank him later.[break][break]

Mistral burst forth with the pressure of an AQUA JET, launching them towards the Megalopolan spaceship, attempting to disrupt or dispatch as many enemies in their path as possible. Once they were close enough, Rowan hopped off the Pokémon and motioned for them to drop . "We're playing keep-away, alright?" He spoke to both Mistral and Aidan, drawing his knife and swinging to slice the parasitic limb free from the Rocket's body.[break][break]

Taking a defensive stance, Mistral and Rowan prepared for the oncoming Megalopolans, putting themselves between them and the ship. If these interlopers wanted to leave, they'd have to go through him.[break][break]

The plants that she bit into increased their power to have her resist the effects of the toxins inside her when calls out to her to stop. Before she knows it, Elise is covered in ice from the Galarian Mr. Mime and her Mismagius, who wasn’t able to stop in time, uses Mystical Fire to melt the ice encasing both her trainer and . Hearing “Spender Modell” and the others of his kind would try to get those who are still affected onto the ship to go “home”, she knows what she has to do now.[break][break]

Saving her bodyguard was a priority now. He can’t go with the others to the ship.[break][break]

Seeing the Blood-Moon Ursaluna take the life of “Spencer Modell”, this gives her the push she needed to try to turn back to normal. “I’m sorry, Noel. I was so…distressed by my personal guard turning into a mindless zombie from the effects of the poison that I attacked you to avoid hurting him.” An apology comes from the Galarian princess before she went on with a nod. “Save the others too. I will at least try to save Sir Osmond on my own or get hurt trying.” [break][break]

With leaving her fellow ranger in saving the affected, she sees the body of her personal bodyguard being thrown at her from and avoids being hurt by the thrown man. “Love, please get ahold of yourself. I don’t want to see you or the others hurt, so I will do what I must to turn you back to normal. This is the extent of my feelings for you.” Her words might fall on his deaf ears, so Elise goes in for an embrace first to hold him back and leans in for a kiss on 's lips.[break][break]

After that, she breaks off the kiss to take his hand and leads him to the ship since keeping the Ursaluna safe once they could board it and get off from the strange blue people would be a good idea.[break][break]

Desiree groaned in agony as threw her, tumbling across the rocky cliffside and feeling the sharp stones etch against her tattooed skin. Trembling with the shearing scissors in hand, she looked up at her friend with tears welling on the side of her eyes- there was a matching cut bestowed upon his skin just as there was a hint of blood dripping from the antique metal. With the longing of the toxic chain upon her forehead and the nostalgia of what she had exacted upon her father, she felt utterly miserable, frozen in shock. Was this the universe trying to punish her for what had unfolded that night, the very thing that brought her to the shores of Hoenn?[break][break]

But it was as if all of that weight in her forehead was instantaneously lifted, almost as if it glimmered away into sparkling fractals of crystalline. Free from the binding of the chain chasing the crown it had yet to attain, the pinkette picked herself up within her cascading tears and ran to Thomas, haphazardly placing the shearing scissors inside of her bag. A few of her material possessions had strayed with her cliffside roll, but luckily the clipping and her wallet remained inside.[break][break]

"Thomas, I- I'm so sorry, I," she bawled, hyperventilating, ".. that wasn't me! I would never want to hurt you, or hurt anyone.. It took control of my body, I feel so cold.." It seemed as if the Tsareena resting beside her had a similar fate, shaken by the unfolded slew of chaotic energies. Guilt running rampant within her mind, enhanced with the already present guilt that she lived with during every passing second of her life, Desiree had no idea what to do; at least, until Modell's head was gruesomely plucked from his body by the bear, splashing her with Megalopolan blood once it fell.[break][break]

The distortion flickered around the cavern of lustrous gemstones, marked by the approach of more alien forces and their otherworldly companions of toxicity. She wanted to be strong like the rest of them, respected and venerated for such courage- but it came organically, an innocent wish without the need for the toxic chain. A wish to follow suit with the others making their way to hijack the ship, the only present means of escape. "Take me there, I- I wish to follow the others," She commanded the Tsareena with her sniffle, allowing the grass type to scoop her into its arms once more. Attempting to carry Desiree and itself through the air onto the ship with a GRASSY GLIDE, the Tsareena's legs were launching with full force to cut down any Megalopolan forces that bridged the gap between both points in their path.[break][break]

Joining and his Empoleon in their defensive stance, the grass-type stood in front of the idol upon the spaceship. Desiree's heartbeat screamed inside of her chest, imbued with her flight response- this was seemingly the only way out, the only way to be freed from such an unfortunate series of hostility. Sparking up a cigarette for momentary relief with the kiss of nicotine, her golden eyes remained wide, cloaked with manifestation that someone would know how to control such strange technology and that the rest of her friends she could not see would be okay.[break][break]

no matter how much he wants to resist, his body continues to move on its own. he grabs his head between toxin-strengthened hands, mouth full of saliva like he's just latched onto a hamburger instead of a human, but the archeologist hits him before he can sink his teeth into his face. he crumples to the ground, momentarily blinded by a ringing pain through his skull. if aaron had any say, he would have just laid there and surrendered to the feeling, but the toxic chain forces him to shakily get back to his feet, to consume .[break][break]
conveniently, stupidly, he comes to aaron.
[break][break]
before he can bite howard, before he can conceive the plan that's been cooked up, the archeologist gets in his face and kisses him. somewhere deep within his trapped psyche, intermingling with strange visions, aaron lets out a mortified scream. maybe it's the mochi, maybe it's aaron's herculean determination to get the fuck away from him, but he eventually gets control of himself again.
[break][break]
the chain shatters, then aaron attempts to roughly shove howard out of his personal space with kneejerk aggression.
[break][break]
"i know i'm handsome but get off me, bro!" he hisses, muffled behind the back of his hand as he petulantly wipes his mouth against it. gratefulness would come later (maybe), but for now howard's thanks comes in the form of an i'm-not-gay scowl before he's distracted by the chaos.
[break][break]
aaron doesn't want to board another megalopolan ship, so he takes his chances with the distortion instead. he turns to call to his xatu, only to find that she's been recalled into her poke ball, knocked out by the ice punch earlier. he replaces her with his hisuian typhlosion, hoping that the ghost-type will give him some type of advantage in the fuck up in space-time.

Oliver tries to strike at and with his spiked tendril, but was so lethargic from his own Pokemon's Spore attack that he missed. That said, El's Togekiss using Springtide Storm injured Oliver's mutated arm. Breloom tried to strike with with a fist, only to miss and get a kick to the face. Soon, Spencer started to usher them all to come aboard. Only for the alien to get snacked on and annhilated. Sweet! Except...for everything else. Their own reinforcements were starting to bleed through! Excellent!

Some tried to go past him, including one with an Empoleon. What little semblance of humanity Oliver had recognized him as . The red haired possessed man squared up against the man and his Empoleon. Only to see his Breloom join them. And give the Megapoleons and any Toxic Chained trainers a healthy dose of Spores once more. Oliver was already sluggish from it, but now his spiked tendril going after Rowan was commically slow. He had to get on board! But the slow down was really affecting him, and didn't know how much longer he could operate like this in a war zone...


TLDR
Is hurt by Springtide Storm, but the mutated arm is only injured.
Breloom and Oliver trade blows! Oliver wins. Somewhat.
Gets blocked by and his Empoleon and his Breloom.
Breloom uses Spore again on anyone not human getting close.
Oliver attacks with his spiked tendril.

In the heat of the moment, the adrenaline rush prevented Thomas from processing the cut to the neck he received from Desiree's sheers. The Kalosian, instead, took notice to Vanilla's Altaria saving him from being stabbed in the back. He gave the cotton dragon a thumbs up in thanks.

He then turns back to Desiree, seeing her chain subside. But more importantly, blood on the shears. Thomas groped the side of his neck, looking down to notice blood coming from his wound. Thankfully, the wound was superficial in nature.

"Des, it's okay. I know that wasn't you.", he reassured her. Thomas would continue to look for any signs that Vanilla was alright.

This would be interrupted, as Megalopolan reinforcements went on the attack. The group would attempt to use Poipole and Nangandal toxins to subdue them. Meanwhile, those who weren't lucky enough to shake off the effects of their Toxic Chain were being lead into the ship. The strange Ursaluna, in a rush, managed to take down the man impersonating Spencer Modell.

With the Space Time Distortion forming around them, they were left with a choice. Either lure the Megalopolan forces into it, before it closes, trapping them somewhere in the past. Or attempt to hijack the ship, likely saving the Ursaluna, but trapping the Megalopolans in their time.

Thomas didn't need to think on it long. The idea of allowing the Megalopolans to meddle with past civilizations didn't sit well with Thomas. Their own society had a hellish time taking them on three years ago. What chance would a century from centuries, if not millennia, have against a technologically advanced, and war hungry race like the Megalopolans?

While another war, another enemy, was not something they needed now, Thomas felt that if the Megaloplans were sent back in the past, they'd do far more damage than they would now. Potentially even wiping out humanity long before any of them were born.

Thomas, accompanied by Artanis, rushed towards the ship. The Iron Valiant began to carve their way through any Megalopolans in their path with Psycho Cut. Meanwhile, Thomas, in his rush, would be met with a dilemma. He only had one shot at freeing one of his allies from their Toxic Chain, if he was to make it to the ship.

Would he free , , or ? As much as he wanted to free all three from the mental bondage of the Toxic Chains, he had to pick one.

Logically, that choice was . He felt that the Pokkenger was not only one of the most dangerous one they could control, but that if freed, he could free someone else from their Chain.

Seizing his opportunity, Thomas attempted to jump onto Kazimir's back. With his bowie knife, Thomas attempted to sever the shriveled head from the body of his friend.

He hoped this would work out, as he had to quickly move to the ship, if he hoped to reach its controls.

Distracted with the Megalopolans, Nenet is blind-sided as she feels her skin slice open at the bicep by ; the action causes her to fumble the backpack in her hands, which proves more than helpful when the next moment a 's Gyrados slams into it with a Crunch. Pushed off her feet from the force of the attack.
[break][break]
"Oof!"
[break][break]
Wincing from the pain in her backside from landing on her flank, Nenet scrambles backwards, her arm stinging with poison and welting with blood. With the help of her Clefable she manages to regain her footing. A concerned chirp from Clefable fills the air, and the next moment Dew Life courses through the area.
[break][break]
Looking for a way out of the bedlam, Nenet chooses Choice 1 and does her best to dodge attackers while making her way towards the spaceship.

- Nenet tries to put distance between herself, Aubre, and Victoria.[break]

Xiura stared at the fleeing Megalopolans in the midst of the space-time distortion, her Kommo-o standing before her with battle fury still blazing in her eyes. Then, she looked at and , the latter of whom was recovering from the snapped toxic chain that had ensnared her. If they let the Megalopolans stay here, there was a good chance that Hoenn and her dear friends would be endangered quite quickly again. Xiura didn't want that to happen.

"After them! Help the bear!" she called out to her Pokemon, who eagerly followed her command with whip-like speed, her gleaming scales reverberating with cymbal-like sounds.

Kommo-o ran up to the Ursaluna, throwing off Megalopolans and pinning them to the ground with CLOSE COMBAT, doing her best to incapacitate the horde.

The ploy worked to some extent. He was able to get close to the Megalopolan, parading around as Spencer, as Spencer was blocked from his assassination attempt by the expanding space-time distortion. Before he could try another attempt, Apollo grabbed him and flew out of range of the expanding space-time distortion before he could be thrown back and injured.
[break][break]
Without the smokescreen, he could easily see what was happening. Realizing that the Megalopolans were scrambling fully onto Apollo before directing him to take off after the Megapolans. Following his trainer's orders, the Charizard followed after the Megalopolans.
[break][break]
He ignored most of what was going on around him to focus on trying to get to the Megalopolans. He wasn't going to let them get away that easily. All he wanted was to take every last one of them out.
[break][break]
Seeing the ship come into view, he got to where he was in front of the ship before jumping off of Apollo and landing in between the ship and the Megalopolans. Returning Apollo to his Pokéball, he released Ares from his Pokéball before bracing himself to fight against the remaining Megalopolans.
[break][break]
Ares was ready as well and prepared to use Sacred Sword against any of the Megalopolans that neared them. While Ryker was prepared to take them out with the hidden blades, though he wasn't opposed to using just regular hand-to-hand combat, which was why he had fallen into a stance for combat.
[break][break]
They needed to eliminate the Megalopolans now, while they were weakened. One of the lessons his mentor had taught him was to prevent targets from escaping and regaining strength. It always complicated matters when that happened, and he knew this from experience. If they had just taken out the other gang, they wouldn't have been able to retaliate. Every decision had consequences, and he didn't want to go through what had happened with his gang again. If they allowed the Megalopolans to leave and they returned, they would pose an even greater threat.
[break][break]
"We must prevent them from reaching the ship. If they manage to escape, I believe they will come back, stronger and more dangerous," he emphasized, glancing at his fellow unaffected individuals.

when the toxic chain dissipates, it's as if nikola is coming out of a trance. they waver, unsteady on their feet as they try to recall what just happened. those feelings of inferiority and spite are so unfamiliar to them... where did they come from? they try to conclude that it was just a trick, but something deeper inside them says those feelings felt more like home than anything else they've experienced here in hoenn.

reality distorts around them. two options weigh heavily before them; if they take the ship, they'll be free. but the megalopolans will remain here. on the other hand, if they stay, they can deal with the alien invaders, but they'll be risking their own lives until the distortion fades.

as if to combat those selfish feelings from earlier, nikola roots themself in the ground, digging their feet in. they release their bronzong from its ball. the steel type hangs in the air, awaiting its orders. "iron defense!" nikola calls. as their pokemon shores up its defenses, they wait to intercept any megalopolans who are trying to reach the ship. since they're biding time, rather than trying to defeat them, nikola decides to settle in for the long haul. "use confuse ray on anyone who tries to get past!"

nikola chooses CHOICE 2.
they summon their BRONZONG and it readies itself to use CONFUSE RAY on any megalopolans who try to reach the ship.

A grim satisfaction filled Jack as 's toxic chain was sliced away. However, before he could reach her side @elliot was on him, muttering and giggling maniacally. The speed and strength of the rookie Ranger caught him off guard and Jack was nearly knocked over in his initial assault. Jack dodged warily, barely aware of the chaos that continued around them as disappeared and a cacophony of voices and battle filled the air.[break][break]

Both Jack's Togekiss and Elliot's Wigglytuff looked on, though Jack dared not ask their pokemon to intervene lest one of the Rangers accidentally be hurt. Instead, Jack dodged another swipe of Elliot's toxic chain before one of Elliot's grasping hands latched onto his arm while he was off balance. Pivoting around, he attempted to grapple the smaller Ranger from behind and immobilize him so that Togekiss could attempt another air slash, this time for Elliot's chain. As Jack slipped an arm under the rookie's shoulder from behind, he caught sight of the Megalopolan reinforcements approaching from the cliff face while their alien pokemon fired a barrage of poison.[break][break]

"Shit, we need to get out of here," Jack grunted as he tried to clamp down and restrain Elliot. A shimmer surrounded Togekiss as she attempted to safeguard the Hoennians within reach from the poisonous volley of the Poipole and Naganadel.

she should not have been able to subdue ; not without the shadowy powers that had once given her an advantage. perhaps only through the pure chaos of her attack and his indecision, however, she managed to get him right where she wanted him.[break][break]

then, the lokix cut off the toxic chain. she slouched, suddenly feeling sleepless nights and a void where an excess of infinity energy had once been. she didn’t truly have this kind of fight left in her.[break][break]

she still had the instinct to pull a knife in her confusion. scrambling weakly out from under the lokix as and attacked, she held the blade towards shred briefly. the look in her eyes might have been evident that she had no idea what was happening, but if he tried anything else, she would surely stab him without a second thought.[break][break]

seeing others heading in the direction of the ship, then, she then took off, putting faith in her alakazam to battle their way through.[break][break]

ahead, the luminescence passed over the vessel ahead as though it was alive. ’these crystals remind me of stories of the blinding one. they retain peculiar power. they materialized a full ship,’ a note had read.[break][break]

she had been wary of paradox pokemon, dreading that reality might be overrun with imagination and cease to exist. but here was as spaceship, and if it was good enough for the megalopolans, perhaps it was good enough for ultra space.[break][break]

but did that make it the best escape from their situation? regardless, she would fight tooth and nail to see its interior.[break][break]

on her way there, her eyes caught a glimpse of what was occurring between and his attackers. her pace slowed, and though she was relieved to see leave the fight and run ahead, temp had been under heavy fire.[break][break]

”damnit!”[break][break]

switching out her alakazam for her houndoom, she pointed, ”djall, protect!” the dog recognized the man in trouble who had once fed him daily. moments later, he snarled viciously near his heel at anyone still looking to attack as a dome flashed protectively around him.[break][break]

Within the cavern deep beneath the surface of the swamp, it was hard to tell who was friend and who was foe, the line was drawn so thin... Everyone was fighting both themselves and the Megalopolans, and every aspect in between, the whole situation had almost devolved into a free for all as some of their friends struggled with the terrible control that was thrust on them.[break]
There was so much chaos and so much happening, Yuina had no choice but to clutch the seamitar she held in her hands, wielding it just in case she needed to, but things continued to escalate still as the Megalopolans seemed to rejoice, the crystals in the caverns glowing brighter and brighter. Some of their companions had broken control at this point, some hadn't, some were struggling, but really Yuina couldn't keep her gaze off of the head of the group of Megalopolans.[break][break]
How did they know that a Time-Space distortion was going to be here? How could they manifest it? Surely they didn't have any control over it, over something so cataclysmic, who could? And yet, just as if they had the means to summon it at will, the crackling energy began to over take the cavern.[break][break]
Yuina had only ever found a distortion before, she had never been surrounded by it, consumed and enveloped as it began to overtake the area, and perhaps surrounded by the abundant crystals, this one seemed even more fervent, more powerful.[break]
Again the energy felt familiar, the sounds of the distortion breaking and surging around her was familiar, and Daikenki hissed with an open maw as he too recognized... No, remembered this surge of energy. Standing there, the chaos and calamity around Yuina vanished, in this moment there was nothing but the all consuming distortion. She herself felt consumed by it, the overwhelming pressure drowning out everything like her ears were clogged and her head was heavy, her eyes unfocusing and sucummbing to the trembling threads of time.[break][break]
Yuina was frozen, and yet, in her mind's eye, she was very much active and moving, she was... She was remembering...[break][break]
Visions and images passed through Yuina's consciousness, like an old film, fuzzy and blurry, but vivid enough to show her... Herself. It was like she was watching an old movie with herself, she was there, standing in the middle of an old village, faces passing by that she couldn't make out. There were beautiful undisturbed trees, a field of vibrant pink flowers, snow capped mountains and a glittering lake... And the village was so humble, made only out of wood and paper paneling, she was in a small room to herself...[break]
She saw herself and her Pokemon... Kyoko, Nyla, Roble and Kano, there in open fields backed by the mountains that could be seen from forever away... And Daikenki, and other Pokemon that she actually remembered, Harrow, Delton, and Morroe...[break]
She watched, a tiny glimpse of the short life she had lived, lost in time, an image of looking up at individuals of the Medical Corps, the insignia that she remembered and the uniform that had saved her before...[break]
And then, she heard, muffled voices, voices long since gone, no one she could ever know or find again, faces that were too fuzzy to recollect, but she heard her name, Yuina... Yuina Higashi, the name she was given in this life...[break][break]
The name that wasn't hers...
[break][break]
Unbenownst to her in this moment, everything else around her was cresting to its conclusion. The ship was whirring to life from the energy provided by either the crystals or the distortion, or both, and the leader of the Megalopolans had perished at the jaw of the Ursaluna itself. Everyone was flocking to the ship, it was time that they needed to flee while they could as more aliens and other terrible creatures were flooding into the cavern, threatening to trap anyone else that they could get a hold of. Daikenki himself had been consumed in this moment, recalling his life in that old place, but his instincts were more powerful, barking then at Yuina, trying to get her attention.[break][break]
Yuina drew in a heavy breath, coughing as if she had been suffocating, as if she hadn't taken a breath in ages, her eyes were heavy, glossed over, and she only barely caught sight of Daikenki, there in that moment, in this present, blinking furiously. The distortion still surged around them, she could see the Ursaluna, the Pokemon that was lost here in this place... Not only was she longing for the life she had just witnessed, what if...[break]
"No, not yet, I can't...," Yuina stammered then, she couldn't just leave now, she was actually remembering things, for the first time in months, she had actually memories, things she could recall... What, what if this distortion, this break in time-space could show her more? Could she actually see... Who she was before? Daikenki barked again at her furiously, tugging now on her shirt with his fangs. But...[break]
"NO, wait please," she shouted amidst the surging energy, the waging battle... Tears stung at her eyes, why did this have to be now, in this place? Why couldn't she stay, and see if she could understand more? She wanted to know everything, she wanted to know... Why? Why did that happen to her? Why was she lost, stuck, trapped, thrown, into that place in time... Short or not, it was a life she lived, and as she was there it was like she was washed away from this present, her existence before that life gone entirely...[break]
Was it just some freak accident, was it some other twist of fate working against her? Was there some other force working to wash away her life before like she never existed at all? She knew there were more powerful things out there, more powerful than she would ever know, she'd already bore witness to things that confirmed that... She drew in a breath, a sob, she had too many questions and not enough answers...[break][break]
And not enough time to find them...[break][break]
Distraught and disoriented, Yuina was dragged away by Daikenki, keeping the Ursaluna in his sights, as they moved with others of their group trying to flee the situation. Poison rained down around them, and attacks still volleyed freely threatening to hit anything that was in the way, it just wasn't safe. Moving towards the ship and hoping for escape was their only chance, and the Samurott bore his seamitar to strike anything that threatened their escape.

notes[break]
Daikenki the H!Samurott is active and still Terastalized in Water Type[break]
This is actual chaos, and it seems like everyone is really just trying not to die...[break]
Some of their friends have broken out of that control, thank goodness, but there's still some of them that are struggling, what do we do?[break]
The power of this time-space distortion is immense, Yuina is flooded with actual memories for the first time since waking up outside of Petalburg, memories of Hisui, a village, some Pokemon she knew...[break]
Yuina Higashi is not her real name... It was the name she was given in this past, in this short life she lived before...[break]
Yuina stays close to the Ursaluna, they are experiencing their memories together, but Daikenki knows they have to move on, they can't stay[break]
Yuina doesn't want to leave... She wants to stay in this moment, in this memory, she wants to know more, somewhere in this break between past and present, is her 'past life' in here somewhere?[break]
Why? Why did she get lost in space/time that way? Was it an accident, or some other force in the world washing her away from existence before she was brought back to Hoenn...? She would likely never know...[break]
There's no time... And yet, that doesn't feel correct to say... Yuina keeps close to the Ursaluna and Daikenki, making CHOICE 1 and heading towards the ship[break]

Lokix manages to break one chain, only for two more to descend upon him. The insect is ruthlessly attacked by and , savagely beaten by the grotesque limbs. Against the relentless assault, all that the hero of justice can do is throw up their arms and block as many blows as possible. Lucky for the both of you, ’s clone bear comes to your defence, furious claws mangling the tongue-like tendril. Between that dumbass being taken care of, and the other dumbass seemingly coming to their senses, it almost feels like you’re in the clear.

Key word being “almost”. For one, you’re still in the middle of this battlefield, and with Megalopolans and Ultra Beasts coming from all directions, this fight is seeming less and less winnable by the second. For two, pulls a knife on you. You blink. Is this the kind of thanks you get for saving someone from an alien parasite? You try to conjure some witty and charming quip to smooth over the tension, but by the time your brain even gets halfway there, she’s already run off.

Man.

With a groan, you drag yourself up to your feet. Well, it can't get much worse than this, can it? No point sticking around here and waiting to die. Might as well get to the spaceship and get out of here.

”Hey, white guy.” You gesture vaguely towards . With the tap of a button, you return Lokix to his Pokeball, and with the tap of another, you call forth Toxtricity. ”We gotta get out of here. Let's hit the bricks.”

With that declaration, you sprint straight ahead, making a beeline for the spaceship. Meanwhile, Toxtricity leaps up above the Blood Moon Dittoluna, his body crackling with lightning. His claws slap against his chest, building up a crackling bass that keeps getting louder and louder, hypercharging his voice box until it hits its limit. But for a moment, he holds in his ear-blowing Boomburst, waiting for the right accompaniment from its back-up bear.

Until then, you’ll just keep running for your exit.



TL;DR - Shred thinks about how its so over its so over its so ver, gets over it, calls out Toxtricity, and does a COOL COMBO MOVE with Boomburst and Alba and his Ditto-Ursaluna, part 1. He also runs for the spaceship.
