Crashing in style.

Soaring through the freezing skies atop his Volcarona, Doug held onto his hat as his eyes scanned through the haze, his moth's searing scales raining down on the blizzard to push away the chill for his companions down below.

He wasn't looking for the titan— that one was easy enough to find even amongst all the icy mist.

No, he wanted its cohort— the djinn that had brought it here.

"Where are you, you audacious little shit?"

TL;DR:
-Doug and Volcarona coming out and fulfilling the Pokedex prophecy.
-WHERE THE FUG IS THE GENIE

NWCqiIum EW, aqua reroll:

White bled into his worldview, suffocating every orifice with a deluge of snow. If it hadn't been for the spike of fear that gnawed down his bones, the frost would've won its claim and another silent victim would meet their end. But, to both his surprise and relief, light dawned once more, returning the vibrancy of color and life back to him. All because a hand had dragged him out from the mound and forced him into a sitting position.

"Th-th-th-thanks." Jaw jittering, teeth clanking together, the secretary could barely formulate a single show of thanks. Now released, the numbing cold had concluded its business, allowing fear to thrust its presence and grapple his chest. All he could do was lose himself to the hefty breaths raising his shoulders. That is, until...

"Just stay with me and follow my lead."

Steven looked up toward the voice, eyes bright. He didn't think his boss was the type to, well, save someone like him. Maybe if it was convenient, but otherwise? He thought it was a league who made the effort. Or another grunt with a heart of gold.

"O-okay."

But Kyurem's cry had made its move, carving out a giant chasm through the middle of the field. Hoopa made its vengeance, too, and of course, one of its first victims were them.

'No,' Steven shook his head to the sudden flash of gold, 'not this time.'

He kicked back up from the ground, prepared to take a stance against the incoming fist. This time it'll be him defending BARNABY FINCH . This time he won't succumb too easily.

But then, before he could make his first step, a figure lunged over him, forcing his body back into snow. Again, the wind is knocked out of him as frost encased his skin. The only other time he's ever gotten this cold was back when he worked at the Pokemart, working stock in the back.

"I'm f-fine," was, again, all he could make out between coughs. "agreed."

The laser beam of death spooked Josh unlike anything he had ever seen before. Even more so than his encounter with Cillian Quinn 's Patron. Surely not even a god could withstand a direct hit from its dense photons. There was only one Pokémon capable of such destruction. The same Pokémon that murdered hundreds, if not thousands, of people and Pokémon during the DAWN OF THE DARKEST DAY. It was a bloodbath the Gym Leader narrowly avoided being drawn into, and one that would most certainly have cost him his life had he been out there.

But they seemed to be on their side? Why was the black Pokémon attacking the Hoopa?

Watching Eva Morales swoop alongside the Keldeo, Josh reined his Pyroar to run beneath or alongside Rayquaza, squeezing the lion's sides to coax TRAILBLAZING speed out of him. It was what he had to do just to keep up with the blistering fast dragon and Sacred Sword. Josh answered the Peacemaker's call, replying, "The Terastal Cavern beneath Dewford Island, too. Reminds me an awful lot of that. I've got your back!"

With added speed and the Keldeo's COACHING, Josh and his Pyroar sped toward the Kyurem, turning off his comms. He took his hands off the reins, drew on the conduit of INFINITY ENERGY between mount and rider, and projected an extension of his own body upward and outward. With the combined speed of the lion's TRAILBLAZE and the rider's FLARE BLITZ, he hoped he would be able to leave a lasting mark in the Kyurem's defenses while only being exposed to the cold winds for a split second.

Things--escalated quickly. Which was impressive because the steaks were already very high, there was not much room for escalation. As Tera shards began to shine through the chasm created by Kyurem, everyone began to step up their attacks. Including, unfortunately, Hoopa. The dastardly djinn had began punching through its portals, sending a flurry of blows across the battlefield. Oscar could only hope that he would not be a target of such an assault--although if he were he had an idea he would want to try..

There was no time for hypotheticals though, real shit was going down right in front of him. Zev Harcourt began preparing a familiar attack, and as Oscar's memory clicked he would instinctively back up and duck down. Zev's laser was just as beautiful as the last time Oscar witnessed its brilliance, however only time would tell if the incredible attack would have an effect on their opponents.

What it certainly had an effect on though was Zev, who was reeling once the laser died down. Oscar observed him for a moment, noting that he seemed exhausted and agitated. If this was like last time--maybe he just needed a snack. Oscar recalled Genesect and took out a beast ball. The ball opened to reveal Oscar's Xurkitree, the florescent Navitas.

Oscar snapped his fingers and pointed forward toward the staggering Zev. "Light 'em up Navitas!" Navitas raised its wiry hands and began generating electricity, a sign that it was about to attack. Oscar clapped his hands together harshly, "No! Like, literally light them up! With your head, doofus!" Navitas's attack died down, and after a second of recalculation its bulbous head would beam with an astonishing Tail Glow.

Oscar and Navitas trotted up beside Zev, with Oscar yelling out to get the admin's attention. "Yo Zev! Here take this light. You're not you when you're hungry."

tl;dr
--Oscar observes Zev's attack and notes his mood swings afterward.
--Using his past experience with Zev's hunger as a reference, Oscar switches out Genesect for Xurkitree and has Xurkitree create light for Zev to absorb.
--Adding my 10 to Andrea Vaneau's 78 to create 88
