Many people were finding their senses amidst the chaos - but there were others yet still under the control of those strange chains. Worst yet, enemies were continuing to advance.

Akero helps to steady El on their feet, as the swirling petals die down - and the cadet has to take a second to take in the way the battlefield's dynamics were shifting. Not only was the telltale signs of a space-time distortion taking over, but there was also the distant sounds of the arriving reinforcements, Ultra Beasts aplenty included.

El's initial instinct was to try and provide support - namely in the form of healing, for those who had been hurt. But as they go to direct Akero, there is that familiar flash of light as someone else comes out.

Yggdrassil.

"Y-Yggy, what are you--?" El is about to question - but the Torterra's gaze is firm, locked ahead. She has an idea, they can tell - and though El is reluctant to stay on the offensive... They - after a moment's thought - nod. "... Go for it - I trust you." She was sturdy built, and hadn't seen any action - she was healthy as could be. If trouble came along, she'd be able to take it.

And as raring to go as could be, to. Because as El returned Akero and made for the ship, the Torterra would let out a trumpeting bellow - charging forwards into the fray! Megalopolans and zombies alike would be tossed aside as her thundering hooves brought on an Earthquake - one that she slammed into the cliffside that they came down from full-force, to try and take out the path and cut off the reinforcements!
TLDR:
- Choice 1
- El returns Togekiss and heads for the ship, as Torterra comes out
- Torterra charges thru the fray like the Shell Armor'd juggernaut she is, to use Earthquake against the cliff, and attempt to take the path down to cut off the reinforcements.

[attr="class","samjermain"]That answer didn’t comfort her. Not just because it came from the mouth of someone who wanted to skewer and cook her over an open flame. “Fresher?!” Her voice is punctuated by a mad laugh. Half of her was a chewy, disgusting mess. "There were easier ways to—” But that confusion sharpens into a point driven by the poison that now streams through her blood.

The syringes—filled with gods know what—are blown away by a burst from the Altaria. They bounce off the hardpacked dirt, shattering and showering the earth with their payload. With a distressed noise, the chained trainer tosses her hand up to protect her face. The Dragon Pulse sends her tumbling to her bottom in a flurry of limbs. She wipes blood from her cheek and lips her lips. Too many people around him. Maybe something smaller? Her eyes settle on but then they shift. Why are you so weak? Stop this!

In this state, her brain’s fears are rendered almost mute. ’s Houndoom earns a brief glare and a press of her lips. Some shred of her dislike drives her forward. Again, two full syringes appear between her fingers. They are clutched carefully as she stumbles toward the scientist. Like before, her approach is almost mouse-like. The magenta chain wriggled beneath her poncho to hide beneath its translucent surface.

As she passes, she tries to slam a needle into the other woman's leg.

As she approaches from one side, her Gyarados is attacking its victim. The fact that it is a bag—not the flesh of what hurt it—isn’t obvious in its rage. Instead, it shakes the bag like a dog might a rat. As its contents fall out, it turns its rage back on the dark-haired woman. But it’s recalled in a blast of light as its trainer clutches desperately to his ball.

Nothing takes his place.

The distortion almost sends her toppling over again, but she stays on her feet this time. This gives her a ringside view as Spencer’s head is removed from his shoulder with an audible crunch. Fear punches through the fog as she glances at one of the aliens for comfort. Going forward doesn’t seem safe. But everyone else seems so confident and self-assured. Just like she wishes she was. They didn’t second guess themselves. They just do.

If in the right state of mind, she’d debate their paths for a moment. Remind her companions that none of them know how to drive this spaceship. That, with all this technology, there was a chance they’d make things worse. That maybe she should just run out a different way. But she wasn’t, and she wouldn’t have been even if the chain hadn’t hung from her neck like a weighty tumor.

So, instead, she staggered toward the spaceship following those who held her leash. As strikes at one of her perceived masters, the redhead appears from behind a different attacker. She, again, tries to turn her medicine into a deadly concoction, aiming to jab it into exposed skin.

One of them succeeded in their task. Druddigon’s Dragon Tail effectively knocked back the Urshifu. However, Grigori’s underhanded swing does not do much to dissuade this massive man. Even worse, he managed to get past him entirely.

Oof,” he grunted as the man muscled right through. Oh no. He couldn’t even manage to stay upright, instead tumbling down to the ground. He kept a tight grip on the hammer, though. A necessary tool for the turbulent times.

Which, due to his fall, he managed to get a glimpse of. “What the hell is going on?!

Tera crystals lit up the cavern with their illustrious glow. The massive ship came to life as a weird distortion dominated the cave. Chaos continued to do its thing all around him, not slowed in the slightest by the bear going over and murdering that one captive. The leader? Not anymore, as his corpse hit the ground missing its head. A good start. Not nearly enough as creatures from who knows where breached some defense above and behind them. Toxic sludge rained down by the barrel full.

This was a lost cause. They needed to get out of here, before those ‘reinforcements’ showed up. Many people, which included , ran right towards the ship itself. Some seemed adamant on the distortion, as they instead held their ground within its awful, weird area. Maybe they planned to keep these forces in there and hope it goes away?

Unfortunately, it’s Howard that gets him to bolt upright. “Brick, use Outrage on anything that tries to oppose us! We’re getting on that ship!

He’d lost track on what occurred with Howard and the stranger. What a terrible defender he was. If the man still attacked Howard, he’d try to fight him off again and drag him to the ship. If the chain had been broken, though, he’d still drag Howard to the ship. Either way, they were getting on that ship. Not much could withstand a hammer blow to the skull, afterall. “Hold on, Mr. Howard, we’re escaping this cavern together!


Tl;dr
 - Rib Breaker failed. Fuck.
 - Grigori falls and truly takes in just how fucked the situation is
 - Regardless of whatever Kazimir does, Grigori will help/drag/pull/maneuver himself and Howard towards the ship (Choice 1) (I wanted choice 2 but can't justify it)
 - Druddigon will OBLITERATE anything in the way with OUTRAGE

Freed from the strange delusion, Adrian feels his hand grasping at some vacant shape. A certain weight that'd been acting upon him lessens, but the thought is no less diminished. Even still, he can only think of his freedom, and how he might now use it. First he steadily rouses from his stupor, taking in the warped surroundings—[break][break]

Space-time breaks down around them in familiar sensation, though it interacts strangely with the alien ship. While the Megalopolans make their retreat, he can only assume this is enough to power their ship—though he has no real grasp of the technology. If there was more to it, he could not know.[break][break]

's voice fetches his attention promptly, cutting through the fog of confusion. '...you coming?' As if it could be questioned. He managed a wry smirk before turning his attention to ARCANINE, bringing his fingers to his mouth and whistling sharply for the hound to heed.[break][break]

"Howie, let's go." Throwing a leg over her back, Adrian manages to clamber on before she made a wicked lurch forward, bolting for the space vessel with more haste than grace. Arcanine's remarkable speed would allow them to outstrip any contingent Megalopolan force as yet remained.[break][break]

Once there he would make his stand with them (Rowan, Aidan) as they braced for the oncoming rush. Their NAGANADEL shot globs of poison muck at their ranks, so he thought then to disperse them: "Howie, FLAMETHROWER — scatter 'em!"[break][break]

"Oh. Um." Howard's face reddened as he dropped even as his assistant scrambled away from him. "Sorry."

How did he explain that making out with someone was the solution to curing them? He didn't have any evidence, but it had ended up working on Aaron. Kissing him had simply been the most efficient way to remove the effects of the Toxic Chain. Hell, Aaron should be thanking him.

It had simply been for science! Research! Thanks to the joint sacrifice of their dignity, the group now knew that the Herba Mystica was the cure to the Toxic Chain!

Until the big buff guy collapsed, and Tsubaki yelled at him.

"It was a hypothesis with no evidence! If I was right every single time, I wouldn't be out here!" Howard snapped at as he watched Aaron scamper off. Just because he was smart, she expected him to have the answer every single time. It wasn't fair! Why couldn't Shred or Grigori have a good idea every once in a while? Everyone expected him to have the ideas and results, but nobody was willing to bear with him whenever he blundered.

Wait. Bear?

"THE BEAR!" Howard scrambled towards the murderous creature. They couldn't let such a magnificent specimen be lost. Howard's paper was relying on it. While everything was collapsing around him, Howard grabbed onto the only thing he could control: the fate of his academic paper.

"C'mon... bear! Haven't you dug us into enough trouble?" Howard attempted to pull the hulking behemoth with him, unaware that dug sounded an awful lot like Doug. "Pleaseeeeeee... I'd rather study you than just your bones!"

Then Grigori grabbed him and forced Howard away, much to the archaeologist's chagrin. Blast this enforcer! Why was he so strong? He was dragging Howard away like he was a child who caused a ruckus at the mall! Why wasn't his Golurk helping him? Instead, it was swatting away at attackers with precise Dynamic Punches. "Big fella, c'mon. Don't you want this?"

Howard dangled the ball in his hand, hoping the Ursaluna's attachment to it would allow them to escape with the Pokémon in tow.


Golurk is using DYNAMIC PUNCH to help escape.
The kiss was for science Aaron GOD
Yelling at Tsubaki
Yelling at Grigori as he drags Howard towards the ship.
Attempting to use the Ursaluna's ball as bait to lead it to the ship. Accidentally calls it 'Doug'.

Though many had been freed of their toxic burdens, the grotesque appendage that had sprouted from Luka’s heart remains. It pulses and twitches as she remains helplessly tethered to it, and the madness that accompanies such a burden. It’s as though her mind no longer belongs to her fully- there’s something else rattling around in her skull with her, too loud to drown out completely.[break][break]

She has enough of her wits about her to realize this is wrong, however. ”I-I’m sorry!” she manages to choke out to , even as the chain makes an attempt to strike again. It takes all her remaining effort to hold it back, though the herb she’d consumed still isn’t enough to free herself of the chain’s influence. If anything, it seems to be getting worse. Perhaps it’s because of all the damage to her sygna suit: now nothing more than a piece of thematically appropriate clothing, it’s working poorly to keep her safe.[break][break]

Even so, she does her best to fight back. It feels like her head is splitting in half- there’s a part of her, struggling to surface, that still resists. But the toxic chain that sprouts from her is still deeply rooted, and the hive-minded urge to join them megalopians back on their ship is overwhelming. It doesn’t help that most of her former comrades are now also racing towards the ship, though for her the line between friend and foe is still muddled and blurred.[break][break]

”I’m sorry!” she yells again, though it’s unclear who-if anyone- she’s talking to. Her chain practically drags her forwards, still in the misshapen form of a shield, though now it batters against some of her fellow, pushing them aside to clear her own path.[break][break]

But not all hope is lost for their group. And though she has little to do with it, her Pokemon still embody the true spirit of their trainer. Luka fumbles with her belt as she runs, managing to release her Sylveon. And Sugar, upon noticing the wave of enemies about to descend upon them, springs into action.[break][break]

Pink ribbons extend around her, her z-move unleashed in a powerful attempt to hold the line back. If some of their foes are prevented from attacking, even if only for a few moments, it should hopefully give Luka and the others a chance to escape…[break][break]

z-move: resplendent ribbons[break]
sylveon exudes a calming aura from its ribbons to affect nearby opponents. those affected are unable to use offensive or status moves for a brief period of time

's hammer hits nothing but the hairs on Kazimir's chin as the embodiment of toxic masculinity manages to turn himself on one leg just out of the nick of time to save himself from a broken rib or worse. Seeing the large man in front of him he's tempted to try and sink his teeth into him. A prey that big would surely give him a good feast. Then decided that he needed to go on a mochi diet. It tasted horrible.

"Pfff! Hrk! Blech!" Kaz fought off the taste, scraping it away with his tongue and leaving his back exposed for to come and jump onto him. The ginger giant only growled as he felt his friend on top of him and thrashed around to either knock him off or hit him with his second head as it flailed about. That's when the feeling of cold metal suddenly cut into his neck, not his neck wonderfully, but the neck of the toxic head beside his own as ooze started to leak out of it.

It was hard to tell just how deep the cut was, whether it was fully removed or simple skin deep finding out would have to wait as he heard of his "leader" before his final moments at the hand of the bear. Get back to the ship. However it seemed that everyone around him would try and prevent him from simply following this order.

arrived atop her Altaria and grabbed onto both Kazimir and Thomas and attempted to fly off. How her and a bird like that could carry the weight of both men was astounding considering one was more muscle than brain right now.

Domon the urshifu's head collided with a Druddigon's tail and the two were locked in combat. Instincts managed to keep the martial arts bear still in the fight yet when it heard Kaz's voice, "Put me down!" its attention was focused elsewhere. On saving its trainer. So it turned its back on the dragon and raced away.

As it found itself under Vanilla's Altaria the bear jumped to grab onto Kaz's legs, the combined weight of them pulling Kaz down onto one side of the bird. It wasn't until his shirt slipped off of him that he found himself and his bare chest free from the grips of clothing and a young girl. As he fell though his Urshifu caught him in his arms and held him, the two locking eyes with one another as Kaz leaned in to touch foreheads with his brother in arms. "My hero...now get us on that ship!" The man growled, unsure if it was genuine desire to get out of this hell hole or the influence of the toxic chain on him still in effect.

So the bear ran carrying Kaz bridal style towards the ship and brush past by and by bumping shoulders with them as they made a mad dash for the alien craft.

he brings the foot down in the wrong direction. [break][break]

nagi lurches, skidding across the melting remains of his mr. mime's freeze dry. momentum — not willpower — takes him to 's side, a human battering ram made of guilt, frostbitten, wet knees and split-second decisions. [break][break]

It was a tough call, in that he couldn’t retain his thoughts whatsoever, the hazes and shadows of people whose names he couldn’t recall. It was strange, all he could think about was standing up, holding himself upwards, and answering that call…

Wasn’t it nice?
[break][break]
With no thoughts in mind, he simply moved, but he felt a sharp impact, a pain that struck him directly, familiar but far more sharp as he was avoided. had struck true, his blow seemed to shake Kouji’s head for a moment.
[break][break]
”Arghaaa.” It was a moan that didn’t represent anything but the gradual resurgence of consciousness, he could feel it in his guts, that something wasn’t right…But he didn’t want to thi-
[break][break]
Still, that rock sat in his stomach as he moved, towards a ship, guided by a voice that wasn’t his, moved by words that weren’t even his allies. To no longer think, to follow the simple orders of another person…
[break][break]
Did he really want to live like that again?
[break][break]
It was a stray thought, a passing belief, but Kouji pushed onwards, against his own mind. A singular punch, a sharp pain, it was the first bit of help he needed. As he fought against his own body, Kouji rushed towards the ship. Part of him wished to leave this place, return back to rocket.
[break][break]
But the Toxic Chain that carried him had only one goal, to stand on his own and take out the everyone else, so he ran towards that ship, on the strange chain that were his legs.

IN THE DISTORTION


FROM THE SUBTERRANEAN CLIFF, the Megalopolan reinforcements descend. Undeterred by the stormy distortion, the alien troops are lured inside the interstitial expanse by those determined to fight—and protect those running toward THE QUAESTOR LUCIS II.[break][break]



As Megalopolans rush into battle atop their beasts, releases his HISUIAN TYPHLOSION. There, the Pokemon guides him skillfully through the mesh of chaos, violence, and teeth. A BRONZONG, cradled by ancient memory and 's bond fires CONRUSE RAYS across the distortion. They strike several MEGALOPOLANS ON THEIR ULTRA BEASTS. Wailing voices knot with each other as NAGANADEL crash into each other mid-air.[break][break]

remains on the battlefield. Tears in time dart past him as his WHIMSICOTT channels a SOLAR BEAM quickly thanks to 's SUNNY DAY. The gathered sun is unleashed, blasting a channel into the encroaching MEGALOPOLAN FORCES.[break][break]

However, a TOXIC-CHAINED saves one from being incinerated by the solar shaft by distracting 's WHIMSICOTT momentarily. Guilt galvanizes to protect the Champion-hopeful. He tackles by the shins, the syringe still raised, while ALLY SWITCHES with 's GALARIAN MR. MIME, teleporting him to safety. Frantically, the WHIMSICOTT swings its SOLAR BEAM, barely missing as it cuts off the TOXIC-CHAIN controlling .[break][break]

As a LIGHT SCREEN and Z-MOVE: RESPLENDENT RIBBONS. The pink shimmer from 's MEGA GRIMMSNARL protects the fleeing party, while MEGALOPOLANS find themselves calmed by 's SYLVEON.[break][break]



and reunite within the distortion. Infinity energy swirls between the Hoyeon Rocket and his FARIGIRAF. A TWIN BEAM clashes against incoming MEGALOPOLANS as a PROTECT from 's HOUNDOOM covers an exposed angle from a NAGANADEL'S POISON. As they flee toward the ship, , still under the effects of his TOXIC-CHAIN, pursue them inside... funnily enough, bringing him to safety.[break][break]

After 's TOXIC CHAIN is cut by , his SCIZOR DOUBLE HITS a pair of POIPOLE who swerve in with their stinger. 's and his beloved EMPOLEON, cleave a path toward the ship with AQUA JET. However, manages to strike with his spiked tendril TOXIC CHAIN. As the chain retreats, 's ARCANINE manages to aim its FLAMETHROWER at the younger one's tentacle. It burns off, freeing from its toxic influence.[break][break]



joins them too. Smoking to calm her nerves, a sweet plume trails behind her while her TSAREENA GRASSY GLIDES toward the ship with 's EMPOLEON, ensuring everyone near her makes it to the ship, blanketed in sweet leaves.[break][break]

Nearby, 's IRON VALIANT uses PSYCHO CUT to ensure a path for him, @vanilla and to flee by. Deftly, the Kalosian slices 's TOXIC-CHAIN and as the Pokkenger chews on mochi, his URSHIFU saves its shirtless musclebound trainer. On her ALTARIA, soars past both men. The dragon's SKY ATTACK brings her up the landing ramp and into the ship.[break][break]

widens the gap between herself and . As the storm swirls around her, CLEFABLE'S LIFE DEW grants her enough strength to push toward the ship. Close by, manages to regain lucidity. With her LUCARIO driven to protect its owner, the canine CLOSE COMBATS incoming assailants, a barrage of fists ensuring safe passage.[break][break]



A TOGEKISS' SAFEGUARD rises to nullify NAGANADEL POISONS as grapples @elliot. The latter bites 's arm; however, the HULBURY native is strong enough to subdue him. Eventually, he brings the man to safety towards the ship. 's KOMMO-O roars, contesting incoming Megalopolans with a CLOSE COMBAT. Bones break as poisons slide off the SAFEGUARD protecting . Her TINKATUFF swings its hammer, a THUNDER WAVE paralyzing several enemies and their ULTRA BEASTS from disrupting their escape.[break][break]

leaves to rescue her bodyguard. After her MISMAGIUS melts the FREEZE-DRIED AREA hindering their mobility, she runs to . As the distortion swirls around the Galarian Royal and her Bodyguard, they share a spicy kiss. The HERBA MYSTICA helps subdue the poisons somewhat, granting him a clear conscience as the CHARIZARD avoids attacking in favour of keeping lucid. Like a knight, 's GALLADE swings its bladed arms. A SACRED SWORD prevents the aliens from impeding him and the Galarians any further, helping to redirect 's CHARIZARD'S HEAT WAVE unto enemies.[break][break]

Nearby, 's IRON VALIANT uses PSYCHO CUT to ensure a path for him, @vanilla and to flee by. Deftly, the Kalosian slices 's TOXIC-CHAIN and as the Pokkenger chews on mochi, his URSHIFU saves the shirtless blond.[break][break]

On her ALTARIA, soars past both men. The dragon's SKY ATTACK brings her up the landing ramp and into the ship.[break][break]

With her LUCARIO driven to protect its owner, the canine CLOSE COMBATS incoming assailants, a barrage of fists ensuring safe passage.[break][break]



THUNK THUNK THUNK. 's TORTERRA collides through any obstacles in its way. MEGALOPOLANS and their ULTRA BEASTS spiral out of the juggernaut's path. They get to the ship safely as follows the BLOODMOON URSALUNA attempts to save. She continues to contend with her memories, her deja vu tickling her skin.[break][break]

hears a voice within the distortion. It calls her name: "YUINA?" before disappearing in the mess of distorted time and space.[break][break]

races to the ship. Against all odds, while tearing the TOXIC CHAIN out of her body, she howls for those to get out of the way of her war path. Her FENNEKIN erects LIGHT SCREENS to protect allies in her way: , , , , and . Eventually, the chain loosens...[break][break]

A ROCK SLIDE is summoned by 's CAMERUPT. While 's HISUIAN ZORUA slaps several MEGALOPOLANS away with its EXTRASENSORY. Under pink glow, attempts to save from her TOXIC CHAIN. The child's COMFEY SWAPS FOR A LUXRAY. Growling, the Gleam Eyes Pokemon pounces on , tearing the loose chain off with its fangs.[break][break]



NAGANADEL obstruct the BLOODMOON URSALUNA'S PATH, causing the bear to cry anxiously. The bodyguard dashes toward the ship as his DRUDDIGON OUTRAGES. Surrendering to its draconic aggression, the DRUDDIGON knocks the MEGALOPOLANS out of 's path. follows the archaeologist and the bear closely. The GIGATON BALL is used by to lure the anxious bear. Behind, a GOLURK'S DYNAMIC PUNCH strikes a MEGALOPOLAN away—and through the familiarity of home, the bear passes past the distortion's boundary to get to the ship with everyone else.[break][break]



Several MEGALOPOLANS brave the distortion as it begins to show signs of fading. As the last few rush into the ship, including an inspired , summons his TOXTRICITY alongside 's BLOODMOON URSALUNA-DITTO. The purple musician plays an uproarious BOOMBURST, the electrifying notes crash into the incoming reinforcements; however, it is 's DITTO'S BLOOD MOON that acts as a disco ball keeping beat. It eventually descends at the end of their duet, forcing the last MEGALOPOLANS away.


LAUNCH & LAND



WHEN THE LAST OF THE HOENNIANS enter the loading bay. They will be able to glimpse the remaining MEGALOPOLANS in the cave. Their assailants remain outside of the distortion's boundary as it begins to dissipate among tera crystals and mega stone mineral strains. Simultaneously, the landing ramp lifts, closing the ship off to their pursuers.[break][break]

It is a gargantuan ship; however, curiously the other hallways, the other chambers, save for a path that leads directly to the CONTROL ROOM/COCKPIT are blocked by TERA CRYSTALS. reaches the controls first. Though, no one would know how to fly a ship of this nature... there are several control centers for trainers to interface with.[break][break]

Unbeknownst to everyone, the controls have shifted. Buttons, throttle levers, indicators, wheels and pedals—all become simplified by the desires of those who wish to escape. Of those who wish to fly.[break][break]

Eventually, our party initiates launch. The ship rocks with the roar of engines coming to life, supposedly powered by the energies of a SPACE-TIME DISTORTION. As the ship lifts off from the ground, the MEGALOPOLANS stare from below. They do not pursue. Rather, they watch as their ride home leaves them.[break][break]

The ship tears through the underground. It brute forces a hole through dirt, stone and swamp water and launches out of the lagoon as everyone struggles to hold onto furniture, walls, each other, and their lunches. However, the ship does not get too far. Eventually, the ship loses altitude. From above the Hoennian treeline, the ship descends again as portions of its machinery begin to glimmer and fade...[break][break]

TERA CRYSTALS present within the aircraft fall across Hoenn and embed themselves in forests and fields near FORTREE CITY. Those controlling the ship attempt to make safe landing... and do so, miraculously, before the entire aircraft disappears in glimmering light, leaving a scar in the muddy fields by FORTREE.[break][break]

Those with TOXIC CHAINS will also find themselves freed of their influence. The fleshy, magenta tendrils fade too.[break][break]

The rain still falls. The BLOODMOON URSALUNA sniffs around as the party spreads out from where the space ship once was. In the distance, the authorities that were called by can be heard coming with their sirens, their partner Pokemon. There are no signs of the MEGALOPOLANS that had hunted them down.[break][break]

However, should one listen or watch carefully, they may spot three Pokemon-like figures scampering across the trees, led by an amorphous shape before disappearing.[break][break]

Above, the BLOOD MOON glows a delicious ruby in witness of their survival—and what has been unleashed on Hoenn once more. Before the authorities arrive, , , and may tend to the bear. The events that have transpired tonight, should they be recounted, may be met with skepticism. A whole horde of Megalopolans beneath Route 119? A Megalopolan space ship and a space-time distortion?[break][break]

Regardless, the BLOODMOON URSALUNA seeks a new owner. Although possesses a familiar scent, the bear moves toward the man holding its GIGATON BALL.[break][break]

may take the BLOODMOON URSALUNA. Please update your PC and choose its moveset like a GACHAPON POKEMON.[break][break]

Furthermore, players may be able to evolve their URSARING into BLOODMOON URSALUNA or FORM CHANGE their URSALUNA into this new form.


As rescue arrives and reports are taken, Hoenn falls quiet once more. The missing persons reports are closed by the uncovered tragedy; however, answers can finally deliver closure to their family and friends. will not be able to shake off the feeling that more memories, more echoes from the past will come to haunt her...[break][break]

But it is the remaining MEGALOPOLANS IN THE SWAMP that will return with a otherworldly vengeance in due time.

DUE TO YOUR CHOICE OF FLEEING BY SPACE SHIP, a raid event titled PRISMATIC PENITENTIARY is now in development.

Vanilla's ALTARIA'S sky attack had resulted in her speeding past the other people and ending up on the landing ramp in the ship. With behind her, the Altaria would come down to make contact with the floor of the ship. Once she lands safely, the trainer jumped off and had a quick look of things around. The interior of the ship was larger than she had thought it would be, thought that was a given for what this was likely used for. The teenager made her way inside only to be met with the sight of crystals blocking different hallways.

"What're they doing blocking off access to them?" she said to herself during the sprint towards the pilot room. "Wouldn't they need whatever is in those rooms?"

One burning question aside, Vanilla stepped foot into the cockpit and was met with several screens. There wasn't anybody inside either, which gave them free access to get the hell back home. As she entered and sat down in one of the the pilot seats, green lights flickered all around the viewport as she jumped in surprise. "What the h- Hey!" A glint of light had been blown in her eyes, causing the girl to rub both eyes in annoyance. During this, the screens and controls shifted around her, simplifying themselves into something somebody of her age could understand. Screens, functions, levels all culminated into more simple things for her screen.

The most obvious one being a glowing red button that was labeled START ENGINE. Once she could see better, Vanilla would notice the controls had changed. She wanted to start asking questions left and right, but in her haste, Vanilla did what any kid would and smashed the button.

The engines of the ship roared to life as the controls spread out for Vanilla. It was like one of those mopeds back in Galar. Two levers that were simply shown to be ACCELERATION and BRAKE. Some other buttons were around her, but those didn't seem too important now. Luckily, one was meant for the ship's intercom and speakers outside the ship.

"KSSH! Attention passengers. My name is Vanilla Kingsley and I'll be your pilot today. My hobbies are cooking, the Gym Challenge and GETTING US THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, SO STOP MESSING AROUND AND GET IN THE SHIP NOW!"

That peaceful and calming message done, she'd press another button that showed camera footage of what was going on in the sip while grinning widely. was going to blow a gasket when he learned what she was doing. But that would be after he helped get them out of there.

TL;DR:
↳ Is the first on the ship, with not too far from her.
↳ She bolts inside of the ship and encounters the rooms blocked off by the crystals before entering the cockpit
↳ She sits in the pilot's seat and has a device flash in her eyes, which customizes the ship's main controls for her to use
↳ Vanilla pilots the ship and activates the engines as the ship roars to life.
↳ SHe makes a call over the speakers in and out of the ship for people to get inside.

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Howard's shill screams echoed throughout the ship as it spiraled towards Fortree City. This entire trip had taught him a whole slew of things: grant money wasn't worth it, aliens were violent, and mochi made fleshy chains worse.

He had come out here for a paper, and had gotten so much more.

He had gotten an assistant, lost his dignity, ran away from a child in pain, ate some mochi, hit people with a frying pan...

Quite the list, all things considered. Still, the weird flying spaceship was definitely interesting. Who would've known that Tera Crystals were capable of making a fully functional spaceship! Suddenly, a part of the flood fell through, taking several Tera Crystals with it.

Howard made a silent amendment. Partially functional.

"GRIGORI!!!" Howard shouted at him as he latched onto the enforcer's back. Grigoris were far more sturdy than spaceships that couldn't even survive their maiden voyage. Man, these Megalopolans were terrible at ship design. "Check... bear!"

The ship crashed and Howard let out a shrill scream as their mode of transportation tore through the earth. At least Fortree City would have another canal. Suddenly, the ship began to vanish, and Howard's eye widened in confusion as he watched the ship disappear into nothing.

What was going on?

"Guh... I think I'm gonna be sick." Howard stumbled towards the tree line before retching. After a few seconds, he looked up at the trees, only to frown. His eye narrowed as he watched the four shapes disappear into the distance. Suddenly, his head throbbed. That vision...

He shelfed those thoughts for now, and crossed his arms thoughtfully. Well, this was a bust. He had wanted to get a review on the elusive Ursaluna for his paper, but he was bearless and moneyless.

"That's a bust. How am I gonna face that old bastard now? That bear was my only lead." Howard sighed. The authorities would likely want to take it away to study it. Maybe he could apply for a permit? No, that'd take too long. Someone would've already written a paper on the thing.

"No use dwelling on it, I guess." Howard sighed, before smiling. "No need to give up. I've got loads of topics now. Funky chains, Tera Crystals, strange plants..."

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Howard blinked once. "Eh?" He turned around.

The Ursaluna was staring at him. Howard stared at it, unblinking, while his brain remembered that he was supposed to be panicking. Why was the bear looking at him so intently? Howard reached into his pocket and pulled out the Gigaton Ball. It sniffed it once, then looked back at him.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"What do you want?"

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"I don't speak bear!"

"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"Fine. Fine!" Howard threw up his hands and reached into his pocket, pulling out a saltine cracker. "You're just like my Aerodactyl. All you predators are the same..."

The Ursaluna looked at the saltine cracker, snapped it up, and returned to staring at Howard. Then it lunged at him. Dammit. He was dead. He was going to die after everything had ended. Was this where the great story of Howard Slayte ende—

Liiiiiiiick. The bear licked him and refused to move.

"HELPPPPPPPPPP!" Howard screamed as he disappeared under the bear. "GRIGORIIIIIIIII-" His voice vanished.

It was a wail she made. Now, gaining more control than she ever had, and worried more for those who would falter and fumble around her, those who could dodge her attacks, Genny screamed out loudly as ' Luxray tore away the remains of her chain. And...[break][break]

For the first time in what felt like an eternity, all is quiet in her mind, her body forced to stay upright as her mind readjusts itself. And finally...[break][break]

Peace.[break][break]

"..." Wobbly legs, as she wants to crumble. Until, that is, as she eyes towards , and her hazel eyes immediately focus to try to help. She can't slow down. She's in so much pain, her back is killing her, but as the spaceship is going... her legs buckle. She feels how shaky her own legs are, so she looks over to her. "Are you okay?" She's finally in control. With the sudden tackle of a Fennekin, the redhead happily hugs them, only to double-check Luka.[break][break]

It seemed the ship had moved upwards through the sky, and sailed closer to Fortree City... and though the blood moon shines above all, as Genny can finally close her eyes... the sounds of ruffling pulls her gaze up.[break][break]

"Huh?"[break][break]

The sound of footsteps.... a couple of them. That's... odd?[break][break]

Still. She's more focused on the people who are here. First, ensuring the person before her. Then a few check-ups, namely , , and . Add on , , , and . And of course, who she charged at fully... "Everyone okay?" She asks...[break][break]

And then, she would immediately get busy afterwards, to help file an eyewitness report. Her Ranger work, never done.[break][break]

The blood moon sure looked pretty tonight...



, , , , , , , [break][break]

NOTES


- STANDARD ATTIRE, YELLOW BRIGHT PONCHO[break]
- Finally, Eris' Luxray gets her brain on straight. She is herself again. She needs to be ready to help everyone else...[break]
- Ship removes her chance though, and she goes after Luka first to ensure she's okay, being one of the last affected.[break]
- Finally out and okay, Genny asks the group if everyone is okay, before going to get a Ranger testimony of the events of tonight.[break]
- What a night... GENNY END.

nikola and their bronzong manage to fight back a number of megalopolans before boarding the ship. they're one of the last ones in, wanting to leave behind as many of the invaders in the rift as possible... so almost as soon as they board, the ship is off. nikola stumbles and falls against one of the walls. today's been a really weird day, and they're weary and just want to go home. they don't know how they're going to get home, but they can't think very hard right now so they decide to just sit on the floor. oh well.

and after a while, the ship crashes. nikola collapses to the floor again, just barely saving themself from a nasty faceplant. once they collect themself, they leave the ship with the others, stumbling out into the open. it looks like someone called for help, too, as sirens surround them. nikola is left alone with their thoughts afterwards, not volunteering any information. suddenly they're paranoid about who's an alien and who's not... maybe it'd be better to figure some things out before they go blabbing to just anyone.

"well!" they put their hands on their hips and survey the area. "it's been real fun, but i think i'd better get going." much to think about.

nikola sets off towards fortree, where they can call an air taxi to take them home.
bro wtf was all that. anyway *leaves*

Making eye contact with the wandering Megalopolan eyes that peered from the edge of the ship, once everyone was on board the ship began to lift and shoot through the ground, causing her cigarette to crumble. Tsareena cast a strand of glimmering MAGICAL LEAVES to temporarily shackle Desiree and herself to one of the erected columns of the vessel's surface; it was a blessing that they had been granted the ability to leave a night forsaken such as this one, saved by 's piloting. However, within that relief of being granted flight, all she could feel was dread creeping up her spine and into her heart, for this night was unlike any other that she had experienced since the night her father plummeted off the edge.[break][break]

The ship landed within the trees, glimmering away into clouds of lustrous fractals; and the magical leaves encompassing her body released her to slowly, gracefully slump into the blades of grass that awaited her. Pulling herself to sit on the ground, removing the clipping of the herba mystica that glowed within her palms, tears cascaded down her tattooed cheeks. Though claimed that her attack during her moment of losing control to the pink chain thirsting for a crown was okay and not her in the slightest, guilt and discomfort rushed through her veins. All she felt she could do was cry, releasing all of the pent-up tension that had been brought upon her within the swamp and its glistening caverns below.[break][break]

Rescue teams were appearing on the horizon, prompting Desiree to place a large pair of heart-shaped sunglasses over her eyes and pull her hood over her head in an attempt to not be seen, to not face inquiries of those curious about what had unfolded. Taking to the hand of her Tsareena and pulling herself up, she sniffled and continued to cry while looking to face those that had special spots in her heart. "I'm.. okay," she sniffled in response to , heartbroken by the lies she spoke. She was anything but fine, she felt destroyed, as if she was unable to trust her own body anymore. A wish to not speak of how she felt at this very moment ran rampant, for with the heartbeat in her chest screaming and pushing, she felt nauseous.[break][break]

Desiree used the glow of the herba mystica as a guide, almost, partially illuminating her surroundings to lead her to . "I love you, my best friend. I- I'll call you tomorrow.. once I sleep." She said shakily, her tears plummeting deeper into the soil below her feet. At least everyone was safe, partially unscathed within their physical capabilities- but she was severely overstimulated, feeling the aftershock of all the blood, mud, and iron. Slowly walking to look for one of the others she cared for ever so much, Thomas, the ultraviolet light of the flora and the hand of the grass type eventually led her to him.[break][break]

"Thomas, I.. I don't trust myself to make it home alone, I," she cried, attempting to whisper to him within her hyperventilation, ".. please, I feel so much hurt on the inside. So much guilt, so much pain in my heart.. it- it was all so much. I wanted to be brave, but at what cost.." Even though her house was just inside the limits of the city nearest to the landing site, she was paranoid that she would lose control again, leading her to do the worst. Perhaps leading her to meet the fate her father had within her instability, the fear that her unchained emotions would push her to spiral into carrying out the darkest, wretched ideals. She needed someone there, especially him, so she could distract herself with atonement and elucidation.[break][break]
