"Almost finished, Brick. Please continue your excellent work," Grigori said. He sprayed the paint a few more times with his squirt bottle and rubbed at the viscous paint with his towel. The wild Pidgey cawed in confusion and pain, but he rested a hand on its head. "Please do not fret, little one. We're here to help you out."

"Drud," the dragon rumbled from afar. Grigori helped the ones caught in the awful paint-traps, and he played defense. Speaking off, he heard the leaves rustle next to the tree on his left. He pulled his tail far back and twisted his torso. The appendage then barreled right into the trunk. Wood splinters diffused into the air, and it groaned. But the Grafaiai fell out from the branches dazed.

Just as dazed as its prey. He swept his tail back once more, and instead aimed for the momentarily confused Pokemon. His attack struck true and sent the creature far into the distance. It smacked into severa branches and bushes on the way. "Drud."

"Thank you... and... done. I hope," the grunt gently peeled the bird out from the paint and held it in his hands. It tried to flap its wings, but it was too weak. It fumbled around in his palms before finally giving up. Its breaths came out as fast as its heart beat, and he sighed. "I hope the Rangers are accepting walk-ins."

Lutgarde starts taking a deep breath, but immediately thinks otherwise and breathes out slowly. Sylv immediately returns to their side, letting Sylph deal with the last rescues that needed to be done in the area. "It's alright," Lutgarde says, feigning that all's well despite the opposite being the case.

They wave for another ranger nearby to take care of the freed bug pokémon caught in the graffiti, then turn to a more quiet corner a bit farther off. Now, both Sylv and Sylph are on their track, as well as Zylf who has freed himself from his ball at the commotion during nighttime.

"Let's head back to bed, eh?" That vague feeling of unease - almost disease, but not quite, they hope - spreads slowly, and they can only hope it'll be better after a good night's rest. Well, half a night's, actually.

PROMPT if your character has participated in AT LEAST 3 POISON PATROLS, they may feel slightly unwell during this patrol.

Petalburg Woods looked like it had crawled out of a museum. The forest's trees were painted on with distinct colors and decorated with the entrapped bodies of several bug Pokemon that were unfortunate enough to cross this way. Noel takes a wide view of this spectacle before looking to the task at hand, a Terastallized Grafaiai that was the root of the problem. [break][break]

The power-boosted monkey locks eyes with the trainer before beginning its assault. A fierce Poison Jab that threatened to connect against his chest. The move came too fast and he was caught unprepared. All was doomed for this aspiring trainer.[break][break]

However, before his very eyes, time slowed down to a crawl, before unwinding back to the point where the two had only just met their gazes. This time, he brought out his Hisuian Goodra which was able to block the attack for him. The two Pokemon then entered into a fierce battle.[break][break]

Afterwards, Noel wondered just what occurred a moment ago. From up ahead, barely hiding behind a tree, was a green, floating Pokemon the likes of which he had never seen. Suddenly it vanishes as if it never existed in the first place. Noel wasn't quite sure if that was what helped him earlier, but if it was, he would have to thank the creature sometime in the future.

she arrived dressed in dark and brimming with concern, and did her best to observe what was happening without getting too close.[break][break]

nocturnal pokemon were too keen-eyed in the shadows, and as they reflected the moonlight, they made their own way of seeing. she found herself hunted, fighting off threats crowned with crystal.[break][break]

when her dog was nearly overpowered, however, a particularly surprising hero arrived to save them. she'd been grateful to see it.[break][break]

a note recorded her thoughts for later:[break][break]

the tera crystal seems possibly related to what is happening, though other phenomena have been more frequent and severe too. [break][break]

something else happened. just as i found myself surrounded by many grafaiai, a celebi appeared and took me back in time – though for what reason it offered me aid, i’m not sure. fortunately, it does not seem aligned with the drk triad.

PP2: GRAFAIAI


Too late for extra mochi...


Water blasted poisonous paint right off the face of bark and grass, freeing trapped bugs and other local wild life.

Standing besides his Empoleon, Gwyar's brow furrowed, lip curling.

Could this be considered the inevitable consequence of a non-endemic species clashing with the local population, or was this the influence of the tera crystals...?

"Hmm..." The knight hummed thoughtfully, standing besides a dizzy looking lemur with the imprint of a suspiciously familiar shoe on its face.



TL;DR:
-have a pokemon know & use the move, HYDRO PUMP.

Hideo was hit by a sudden sense of Deja Vu. Like he'd just gone through this a moment ago.

He'd been called here to help handle another Toxic Chain event, this time with some Grafaia. He could remember that same unease from the last time he'd done this, but this time, he felt a different kind of unease, like something bad was going to happen.

His Cinccino seemed to be aware of it too - of the Grafaiai that would've ambushed and poisoned Hideo a few seconds from then. A set of Swift stars intercepted the attacking Pokemon before it got close.

His Starmie, as usual, was then ready to break the chain on its body, this time with a Hydro Pump.

But why did he know that was going to happen? It wasn't a premonition like some of his Psychic Pokemon could give him.

He'd never know about the Celebi that'd saved him.

Petalburg Woods is facing a different predicament than the blight that happened a year ago.[break][break]

Grafaiai were grouping around a larger one with a Poison Tera Crown and they were in an outbreak that had to be contained. If they got to do what they wanted, the woodland’s Pokemon would not be safe with them around. Elise worries for the wild Pokemon in Petalburg Woods being disturbed, so she rides by horseback onto her saddled Glastrier.[break][break]

Charles the Calyrex follows next to her with Celeste the Galarian Rapidash using Agility and the princess’ shiny Charizard flies beside them too. Before long, the princess and her Pokemon see the lemurs with poison chains attached to them.[break][break]

“Oboro, I’ll have you take care of this.” The royal ambassador says before her Mega Tiara atop her head reacts to the Charizardite X which Mega Evolves her shiny Charizard to Mega Charizard X. Alarmed, the lemurs from the group attempt to jump onto the shiny fire dragon in order to corner him.[break][break]

With Oboro’s sheer power from Mega Evolution, the shiny Mega Charizard X bats away the poisonous lemurs with Dragon Claw before he’ll set his sights onto the Terastalized Grafaiai. A mighty roar comes from the dragon as he’ll slash at the Grafaiai leader with Shadow Claw which causes the leader to screech in pain.

Johanna was feeling ill. But that wouldn’t stop her. These coincidences weren’t just that. Too many things were happening and by now she was entrenched in helping with all of it.

But still, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous. Though at this point she chalked the nausea up to the sudden stress, exposure to poison where it was that weird Mochi she kept finding or the fumes from poisonous Grafaiai saliva.

Speaking off. The Petalburg woods had been infested by the rowdy artists and though it was late at night Johanna had come here to help with it. With her trusty Tentacruel by her side she went to work. The tentacled Water/Poison type used its HYDRO PUMP to wash away paintings and the rowdy artists who took offense.

So the toxic chain had made it into the Grafaiai eyes. Some of the painters of the pokemon world, the channelers of creative artistry. The species was one that she was familiar with but not through her own personal happenings. Yet, it was a pain nevertheless— it was spreading all too quickly, even with the efforts made by so many wondrous souls.[break][break]

Was the effort made even worth it, or was it yet another ploy to enable effervescent infection of hosts further? Desiree walked slowly, gracefully through the splattered trees as a wild, ruthless forest monkey of her own danced through the canopy. Her eyes were able to scan the terrain mildly so, missing key components due to the nausea that took persistent root on these trips of selflessness. It was just so difficult to be in her prime while facing the grip and the paranoia of what was yet to come.[break][break]

“Night time, my time,” she said softly to herself, the chirps of the intoxicated painters lurking in the shadows. Unable to see the terastalized leader of the pack swing downward and attempt a slash, nor the forest sprite that had rewound time until the deed was said and done. Until she was back tens of feet where she had already walked, staring in shock amidst guttural bewilderment.[break][break]

“You’ve looked death in the eyes, too,” she said softly, clutching the jewels that spanned down her neck, “.. thank you, whatever you are.”[break][break]

It was already vanished by the time she could make the connection that it looked like an onion. But a surprise slash in the forest at night, alone, would have been too cruel of a way to die; perhaps that was the reason it had descended from the canopy?[break][break]

Or maybe it just had a kind heart. Holding onto one of the trees that had yet to be painted with insect and poison, she quietly watched as the Zarude sparred with the creatures donning their chains. Its HAMMER ARM swung down upon them, but her mind trailed off elsewhere as she locked herself in the roots.[break][break]

Divine intervention could be hopeful, couldn’t it? Unless it was nothing more than a figment of the ever expanding cosmos, a sight that would never be born again. She was unsure what it was— but it saved her life.[break][break]

She felt gratitude just as she did shame. Being the damsel needed to go, even if she wished not to budge.[break][break]

"shit!"[break][break]it happens so quickly that she has no time to react. a GRAFAIFAI bites down, breaking skin. she knocks it off of her, but it's too late. she can feel the burn of toxins in her veins, along with a writhing beneath her skin that alarms her worse than any grafaiai poison. [break][break]celebi appears, accompanied by the disorienting rewinding of time. in the blink of an eye, she's several yards back and the bite on her hand is gone. she blinks down at the spot where it should've been, then up at the legendary pokemon — only to find that celebi is gone too.[break][break]she doesn't let herself get close a second time, commanding her orbeetle to strip them from the trees with rough swaths of psychic.[break][break]

The frequency in which poison types and other dangers were flooding the region was concerning, raising panic in every sense of the term, and nearly impossible to keep up with.[break]
It was all Yuina could do between troubles to keep herself in check, being exposed to so many toxins and types of poison was starting to take its toll.[break][break]
The Petalburg Forest was overrun by poisonous creatures that were sure to ruin the entire ecosystem if given the chance to stay too long, to continue to coat trees in their poisonous saliva. Within the tree cover, stuck beneath the leaves and branches, the fumes from the poison were rampant, volatile and disgusting.[break][break]
Walking through the trees with a mask to cover her face, keeping close to Kloa, the fox kept his eyes sharp in the darkness, they had to continue to fight off as many of the Grafaiai as they could, to try and thin their numbers.[break][break]
There was a rustle in the branches above them, more Grafaiai waiting to pounce... And Yuina took a step back, a step too far as in the toxic haze she felt her foot catch on a root. She stumbled backwards, her back hitting a tree trunk, and she could already feel the sting of poison at making contact with the colorful saliva that coated the bark. The Grafaiai screeched, coming down from the tree branches right above her, and she was stuck, unable to move... Their fangs bared, claws at the ready, she braced herself, she was sure she was about to get mauled when...[break][break]
For the briefest, tiniest moment Yuina felt something as she blinked, a glimpse of something green lofting through the trees just behind the Grafaiai? And then, as if nothing had happened, she was standing right where she had been, the rustling of the branches above them... And instead of taking a step backwards, Yuina stepped to the side, avoiding the root that she knew was there.... How did she know that? The same screeching, the tree just there beside her that she had just been stuck in but...[break][break]
As Kloa struck, attacking the Grafaiai, Yuina blinked again, it must have been over exposure to the toxins... Right?

Mint protects himself from the weird poison type hypnotic terrain but is Rotom is not so lucky. What's worse, he's not sure if the ghost type is also hypnotizing his audience. "Hey! Stop it over there!!" he said trying to give chase as the Terastalyzed Grafaiai summoned his pokemon closer. He looked up watching as his partner is lured away, only to see the leader set off a sudden ACID SPRAY tat burns easily through the shrubs and other flora on its way straight to his eyes.

Mint can barely hold up his arms to protect himself before e felt his stomach drop. Like hitting rewind on a tape, his actions reverse and he's safe and at a distance from the leader poison type. Hiss Rotom is completely free and by his side, allowing Mint to pull out his Vaporeon. "HYDRO PUMP asap!" e called out, scrambling with this second chance as fast as he could. Ass the water washed away the strange paint and sent the terastalyzed pokemon flying into a tree trunk, Mint caught sight of a strange, non withered Onion headed pokemon before it winks out of existence. He only gives it a second of though more before the terastalyze aye aye gets up and continue the fight.

Another location in Hoenn, another outbreak of afflicted Pokemon. Michael remembered watching the news about the peculiar developments. He witnessed some of these events first-hand, too. First, there was the Ariados infestation of Cycling Road. The last encounter involved Spidops with their many tripwires and traps. Now reports led the Cadet to investigate at the behest of the Pokemon Rangers. Rather, Michael was among the first to volunteer an investigation into these strange happenings.

The usual gentle incandescence of the moonlight and stars hid behind dark clouds above the Petalburg Woods. Thankfully, Michael could rely on the warm, gentle glow from Eimyrja's tail as it painted hues of yellow and orange to help light the way; a beacon of hope and hearth to fight the biting chill of the air and ward off potential predators lurking beyond the shadows. To aid their sight further, Michael held his issued flashlight above his shoulder, casting it into the dark beyond the Fire-Type's influence.

The Ranger's mind was not entirely focused tonight. Steady steps experienced the occasional trip. With his right hand clenching his stomach, the Ranger attempted to quell the aches of his nauseated stomach. His skin was cold and clammy despite the small fever that worked tirelessly to fend off the ailment he endured.

Soon, the duo stopped. Michael's beam of light shone brightly on the base of a large oak before them. He instantly recognized the shimmering pattern from the reports he studied. They were now in Grafaiai territory.

A cold sweat and a surge of unease sent chills through the Ranger's spine while hair on his neck stood on end. Eimyrja, sensing danger, rumbled a low, threatening growl. She may have been a Charmander, but she would do her damndest to seem intimidating.

A large pair of eyes soon revealed itself in the tree canopy above. The large, pupilless orbs glowed like sickly emeralds. Slowly, Michael and his Partner backed away, while the Pokemon above them made their way down the tree's trunk. It was a Grafaiai, alright, but not like any Grafaiai Michael knew about. Its body appeared to be surrounded by some crystalline set of armor. A skull that fashioned amethyst eyes in its sockets adorned the Pokemon's head.

Now on the ground, both parties stood in a standoff. Both refused to back down or bend the knee. Eimyrja bravely stood between the Terastallized Grafaiai and her human. Though feeling under the weather, Michael remained steadfast in his mission; take down the Grafaiai and help restore balance to nature.

"Eimyrja! Give us some cover with Smokescreen!"

"Char, Char!"

After inhaling, the Charmander spewed black, billowing smoke from her gaping maw! The astonished Grafaiai instinctively tried to cover their eyes with their poison-dripping hands. Somewhat blinded, it could only feel cornered. And once cornered, they grew desperate.

Before the pair could blink, the Grafaiai lunged forward with canines brandished, using Poison Fang! Michael could simply watch in horror as he saw those very fangs embedded in Eimyrja's arm.

"NO!"

The man's legs sprung him forward before his synapses could fire. There was no thought, only instinct. Michael was upon the venomous lemur and slammed his right fist as hard as he could into its jaw. Though the fangs nicked Michael's exposed fingers, all that mattered was getting the Grafaiai off of his companion! Though he could already feel the burn.

The bewildered Grafaiai's vice hold broke, and it staggered back. It shook its head while it saw stars.

"Eimyrja, Dragon Breath!"

The Charmander could already feel the effects of the poison. Pain wracked her body with every waking second, with every beat of her heart that spread the toxins further through her systems. Still, she refused to go down like this. Inhaling sharply. The unleashed power of Eimyrja manifested as a breathtaking display of energy, resembling a vibrant nebula in shades of violet and blue, adorned with captivating rings of crackling blue lightning!

The dust cleared and the Grafaiai was nowhere to be found. All that remained was a single Mochi on the forest floor. Michael picked it up to inspect it as he did his best to hold the contents of his stomach.

"Another one?" he murmured. "Better take this back to the Ranger Station and have it studied...But first, we need to get medical care."

The Cadet shifted through his backpack. A single Poison Heal could be found. He did not hesitate to administer the medicine to his companion, much to Eimyrja's dismay. Though, she did appreciate the human's priority of keeping her wellbeing in order.

"Come on. Let's head to town, recoup, and come back to finish our work."


Prompts:
-Attack/Defend against the GRAFAIAI
-If your character has participated in AT LEAST 3 POISON PATROLS, they may feel slightly unwell during this patrol.
-have your character/pokemon be inflicted by the POISONED STATUS CONDITION.

He’s been here before. Walking through deep, dark woods, déjà vu overwhelms him. It is dismissed as nausea and nerves. Though he has walked along the edge of the forest, he has never ventured this far into the woods.[break][break]
Shuwen is at his side today. The Urshifu’s fist slams into the mischief loving Pokemon. Like so many pranksters before them, the prank doesn’t seem so funny once they’ve been punched in the face.[break][break]
Eeeep!” It shrieks, weighed down by heavy chains. Shuwen punches it again, holding it steady until Hattori’s kunai can cut it free. The chain falls, disintegrates. What follows is repetition, near endless repetition.[break][break]
Nausea steadily builds. A sudden, powerful urge hits him somewhere around the fourth Pokemon he frees. Ducking behind a tree, he vomits. It is undignified, like the first time he had a taste of alcohol. Shuwen places a strong arm on his shoulder, holding the trainer steady.[break][break]
Arceus, I gotta get out of here.” He feels dark bags under his eyes. Elsewhere in the woods, he hears the sounds of others doing what they can. This fight is not his alone. Guided by Shuwen through the woods, he heads back for the ranger station.

Feeling nauseated and dizzy didn't keep Trey away from Petalburg Woods. Perhaps it should have—especially considering yet another Toxic Chain outbreak was occurring—but he was too nosy to comply with logic. For now, he remained stealthy, he and his Mudkip stalking through to woods quietly as to not disturb any waiting Grafaiai, especially the one with the Tera Crystal atop his head. Other people could be the main character tonight. Besides, he didn't have the ability to Terastalize any of his pokemon yet anyway.

He didn't mind. There were other things to be done.

The ecologist steadied himself against an unpainted tree as he pointed out some graffiti to Devi. "Time to wash some of this gunk away, bud. Start the cleanup with a Hydro Pump," he whispered. The water pokemon chirped and bounced forward, a pressurized roar of water jetting from his open mouth at his target. A Sewaddle, Wurmple, and Caterpie managed to wiggle free of the gunk, scrunching their way deeper into the forest and hopefully to safety. Trey nodded in approval. "Not so hard, huh? Let's keep going."

-have a pokemon know & use the move, HYDRO PUMP
