DRACO METEOR and DRAGON PULSE raced to absorb the impact of Zev’s attack on the crater rim. Necrozma spared them the briefest glance, prism eyes glowing with psychic power. The comets summoned by ’s Dragonite crumbled into ineffectual dust, and the shockwave blasted by ’s Mega Lapras dissipated harmlessly on the air. [break][break]

The minor distraction was enough to put Zev in Kyogre’s line of fire. An ORIGIN PULSE smashed into the Devourer, sending him hurtling toward watery depths. He hit the water with great force, his armor protecting him from injury, before disappearing beneath the waves. [break][break]

Inside his body, organs dependent on life-giving oxygen crystallized into alien metal. When he raised his face toward the turbulent surface, cold starlight swirled where eyes had been moments before. [break][break]

With all his strength, he swam for the surface as the ocean around him began to recede. [break][break]

NOTES[break]
– Zev is at LOCATION F-4. He is FULLY ARMORED: nothing can break through his defense, and things that hit him may take damage on impact.[break]
– Necrozma nullifies DRACO METEOR from Ollie's Dragonite and DRAGON PULSE from Caleb's Mega Lapras.[break]
– Zev is hit by Kyogre's ORIGIN PULSE and tumbles into the ocean. His body fully crystallizes to protect him from drowning.[break]
– Zev swims back to the surface as the water begins to recede.

There's a certain kind of bravery that comes with losing, a desparation that there's not much left that you could leave behind. But something's still there - a bright light, a memory connected to the Origin Pulse that Fenelle and Dondozo can't dodge entirely in time.

Gramps Théo's laughter as they faced Kyogre before in a check-up mission, Sailor's face narrating, the transcripts dee has read after.

"We are currently circling the Kyogre while it shoots more beams of light at us -- Origin Pulse. We seem to have a slight advantage with speed but it won't take long for the Legendary to catch up."

The world is reduced to blue as the energy hits Fenelle, and Dondozo cries out another time - hurt and continuing onward, swimming in lament. Blood drips from their burnt arm, and dee can't tell if it's hot or cold. It's a burn nonetheless, as dee bites their lip in an attempt to distract. Rotom translates 's words.

You could just leave here.

The sensible choice would be leave, get that raw wound treated as it's toyed with by heavy storm and rain - draining blood to not even paint the water red, as there's simply too much to have an effect. An insignificant drop against god-like figures.

Dondozo doesn't agree with Fenelle as dee tears off der intact sleeve for makeshift bandages directing towards the raging Kyogre, sticking close with , and takes a deep breath. Already having given up on a psychic tether with Metagross (dee isn't sure what bringing it out would do to der emotional state right now, or its own), dee asks der translator to leave, too. The Rotom's visibly confused, gulping in the face of too much going on. And now, it's simply another ghost on the field.

Thunder Shock. Kyogre.

A command that the Rotom anticipated as its electricity charges raindrops weakly, distributing little shock waves through the water. A command it, nonetheless, doesn't- but Fenelle's eyes make it stop. This all ... Fenelle frowns as it's brzzts make up Morse Code, and shakes der head, annoyed.

I'm fine.

And they move onwards. Rotom takes a moment, gathering up electricity, before it all is unleashed in one Thunder Shock, travelling from droplet through air to briefly hitting the rising waters, towards its goal.

tl;dr F2
- is hit by origin pulse (severe but "superficial" burns on one arm [itll heal])
- fenelle barely manages to hold onto der mind, considers leaving but decides against
- keeps close to hitoshi, calls out rotom onto the field
- rotom uses thunder shock at the kyogre

In the heat of battle, just when Roy believed he had the upper hand, the tides turned once more. The woman he faced was like a living arsenal, wielding an array of weapons that extended beyond the physical realm. Each move she made seemed to chip away at Roy’s confidence, as if she was stripping him of his resolve. Despite the fury ignited by his cousin's death, an invisible force held him back, a barrier he couldn't quite understand.

Then came her Phione, its attack striking with a force that left Roy reeling. He took the brunt of it, shielding his Zygarde from the invisible assault, but the damage was done. The supersonic waves rattled him to his core, and his opponent seized the opportunity, launching a relentless barrage. Two more deep gashes appeared, staining his already bloodied clothes, and suddenly Roy found himself on the defensive, barely able to keep up.

"Why are you doing this?" Roy forced the words out between labored breaths, his voice strained as he struggled under the weight of the onslaught.

But before the woman could respond, Zygarde made its move. The green scarf around its neck flared in the wind as it charged forward, its movements fluid and precise. With a swift motion, it snagged Roy’s forearm, yanking him away from the fray and dragging him across the emerging peaks as the sea began to recede. Roy fought to return, desperate to face his foe, but Zygarde refused to let him go. The legendary pokemons grip was firm and its intentions clear; escape now and survive to fight another day.

As they raced towards the center of Sootopolis, Roy heard Melody’s voice crackle through the comms. She suggested attacking the Great Dyna Tree, a desperate bid to save Freya from her demise. The idea sparked something in Roy, and he struggled against Zygarde's pull, digging his heels into the ground.

"We need to attack the tree," he grunted, his voice strained.

Zygarde came to an abrupt stop, its gaze fixed on the distant Dyna Tree. It released Roy, standing still as if weighing the decision. The legendary pokemon hesitated, its reluctance to attack the tree clear in its posture.

"You don't want to attack it, do you?" Roy asked, his tone softer now, more understanding.

Zygarde responded with a slow shake of its head, its eyes locked with Roy’s.

"Then we don't have to," Roy said, nodding in acceptance, adding significance to his previous experience with the tree. He respected Zygarde's choice, knowing that their bond was stronger for it.

Instead, they turned together, ready to face whatever came next. Roy and Zygarde, united in purpose, prepared to confront their opponent once more if she decided to chase.

da capo



Heat washes over him, followed by the stray fury of Primal Kyogre. It is a narrow mercy — not one carried by ’s sure fate — that it is a glancing blow, but even a glancing blow from a god is enough to fracture bone, and further break a body.[break][break]

But the false Palkia shatters back into its true form, and beneath his mask, Alba smiles despite the pain. Floette lands in the palm of his hand, shuddering like an animal in its death throes, and he curls his fingers to keep it from being swept away in the currents.[break][break]

“Dusknoir.” His pet reaper is loosed from its Poké Ball, and it carries its bedraggled trainer to the Black Dog and his Lapras, a Pokémon better suited to navigating the churning waters. He clings to it the way driftwood clings to a person, wreckage tangled up in the spines of a shell.[break][break]

A Pokémon trainer’s power was in the assets they could wield. The Eternal Floette had spent itself at his command, in his attempt to slay a god, but there were others at Alba’s disposal. Half-dead, but not dying, it seemed such a waste to fall back now, to acknowledge weakness instead of pushing through.[break][break]

Contractual obligation said it was Alba’s duty to defend Team Rocket. And besides, a battlefield was far more interesting than a medical bed.[break][break]

“Keep it right where it is…” With an outstretched hand pointed at Kyogre, Dusknoir intensifies Gravity, trying to ensure that and ’s lightning strikes true.



[attr="class","gunstest5ooc"]


NOTES


• Bleeding out on ’s Lapras[break]
• The avatar boss fight disbanded so now it’s whale killing time, as a treat[break]
• Dusknoir tries to use Gravity on Kyogre to hold it

The decision to retreat into the sky was the correct one, Josh watching the battles below in horror as the floodwaters completely enveloped the island. The amount of PRIMAL ENERGY in the air was sickening, the Champion vomiting over the side of his electric steed. Perhaps some of it drenched , , , or if they were close enough.

Seeing so many people drowning, Josh's shaky body shed tears. He had seen how his mighty Dragonair, Resheph, was tossed about the violent waves. So many people were on the rescue effort. . . He wanted to join them so desperately... but he could not. If his much stronger Dragonair was being tossed around in the waves like a plaything, Kairi wouldn't even be able to swim in waters like these. And if he made a mistake... he would suffer the same fate.

Even sitting in Swift's thundercloud saddle was taking most of the rest of his energy. As he watched and others descend upon the Dyna Tree, the waters receding and exposing more dry land, he radioed her and from high above. "Melody, Annalise, it's Josh. I shouldn't have come out here in the first place. I did what I could help... but I'm too weak to continue. I need to get back to Ever Grande and convalesce. I'm so sorry!"

With Kyogre's storm cloud not extending all the way to Mossdeep or Ever Grande, and the rough seas covering a space well beyond the clouds themselves, Josh could not get to the safety of a city himself. He needed help. And he would find help in a face he had not seen since the date of his Champion Assessment. "Swift! Jump down next to Entei!" the Gym Leader ordered, the Sacred Ash Raikou listening to him.

Rather than striking out of the cloud, the Beast simply leaped downward, Josh's gut rising into his throat as his ride descended toward the ridge where the late Top Champion's Pokémon stood. Upon landing, his arm began to throb. While it was nowhere as severe as in the prison, it was a pain he had not experienced in months.

LONG-TERM INJURY



Josh's participation in the BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS has agitated his left arm. The duration of his injury from PRISMATIC PENETENTIARY will be extended by 17 (1d20+10) DAYS until DECEMBER 3, 2024.



The dizzy Master of Faster dry heaved when the two harshly touched down. He winced as he swung his leg over the ashen electric-type's side. Shakily dismounting and leaning into Entei's brown, thick fur, Josh embraced the warm Beast as his Raikou locked gazes with his sibling. "Entei... I have no way to get back to town. Can you... take me there?" Unlike on his birthday, this wasn't about a joyride on the ultrafast fire-type.

This was for his own desperate survival.

There is nothing.

Blacking out can sometimes craft brief dreams or, in her case, visions, but there is nothing. It feels like a long blink.

She opens her eyes to the healing synthesis of a Decidueye. Green. And she raises her eyes further to see Lam. Green. Good. Not the red blood in the sapphiric water, not the black of the crystalline devil coming to consume all they hold dear, not the yellow-brown explosion of crater to propel her into the sky.

She feels numb and only knows she's on her back because the sky is so clearly above them, dark and angry. She turned her gaze to the side to see the green thing that looked a little bit like those paradox pokemon in the chasm. "Who the hell is this?" She said with a thick tongue, uncomfortable at the blank face of a new pokemon. "Gods, Lam..." Her head felt stuffy... and her voice seemed to be far-away. Tinny.

"My hearing's fucked," she concluded, feeling a few more curse words bubble into her mouth. "Ugh. Is... is Necrozma done?" The world wasn't shattered, at least. Or maybe she was actually dead, but that seemed unlikely. She would wield her ghostly powers immediately if that was the case. But she sucks in a deep breath and sits up, feeling better with Decidueye's help. More seriously, she looks to him for direction; he was her lighthouse in an abyssal storm. "What can we do now?"

Like a compass needle finds North, her hand gravitates to her belt and releases her shiny Duskull from its capture capsule. She looks to it, too, for guidance. She needs to explain its significance to him, but it has to wait. She catches a clip of Melody's instructions - to attack the Dyna Tree. Duskull meets her gaze, then floats a distance away to launch future sight at the Dyna Tree. What it will see, she can't say, but she hopes the psychic damage kills the tree and punishes everyone who pushed for this battle.

She turns back to Lam. "What can we do now?"


Following where he goes from here
- Is hurt
- Releases Duskull, catches a bit of 's instructions to attack the tree
- Duskull uses FUTURE SIGHT on the Dyna Tree (imagine not having good long-distance moves, ghostfinch L)

Have you ever seen a woman eaten by a god?[break][break]

The ice rider is down, the sea god has consumed the dragon-like beast of a woman, and Ameena's lost. The seas have risen to unprecedented heights. She can hardly make out the bodies beneath her in the water, those of allies and those of civilians and those of enemies. [break][break]

She feels it just before it hits; Gardevoir reacts faster and generates an IMPRISON around the two of them midair to protect against the ORIGIN PULSE. She clings close to Gardevoir, heart racing. She's paralyzed by choice. Gods are fighting all around them and the human cost is incalculable. [break][break]

Gardevoir takes them higher into the air but Ameena feels exposed and unsafe, just like she would if she were in the water. "Is there anything left to save?" The question needs an answer, but Gardevoir has none. The two of them are weakened from battle, exhausted, and unable to coordinate well with the mutual distrust between themselves. Ameena feels a seed of worry unfurling in her belly about the well-being of Montgomery, but she cannot afford to check on him. She can barely support herself against the rampaging Kyogre's tantrum.

distance clamors into spatial matter and her chest heaves through ragged, pained breathing. his body skids, reality rippling through armor until it falls. she stares, unblinking, at the aftermath.

[break][break]

and when he rises, still relatively whole, she can't help the ghost of a smile.

[break][break]

"careful," she murmurs, a hand shifting to pluck spatial matter back into being. "lying's considered a sin."

[break][break]

from quick creation comes a large greatsword, swathed in pink and shimmering with stardust. she holds the weapon steady with both hands, eyes mirrored back from each side of its blade. if she stops to study them, to see the way they stare at her while she looks upon the blasphemous, perhaps she'd notice the lack of movement, the sharp focus solely on her... the cold, calculated anger seething within.

[break][break]

and then the eyes ripple like the water's surface when disrupted. they disappear shortly after as if they had never been there at all.

[break][break]

blood drips steadily as she readies herself, as the cannon goes off, as fragmentation and fire shoot straight toward her. she shrieks, raising the greatsword up and swinging down in an attempt to cleave the attack in half.

[break][break]

her body tries to withstand what it can of the attack, steadily producing spatial erosion in an attempt to beat back the inevitable pain...

[break][break]

and as the greatsword falls, she lunges forward with a blindness. a hand rises, claws into spatial matter, and a rift is ripped into new form as she lunges into it. she appears on the other side, a few feet behind , and clucks her tongue to the roof of her mouth in disapproval.

[break][break]

"is that the best you can do?"

[break][break]

a grin rises, pulling the curtain back on bloody teeth.

[break][break]

"come, sun-eater."

[break][break]

she continues to move, inching closer and closer to the dyna tree as 's voice rings out in her ear. it mixes with the steady cacophony of rat-a-tat-tats billowing out from deep within the universe... a steady call for war beaten against ancient drums.

[break][break]

and as koraidon swipes dragon claws into palkia's skin, resulting in an glass shattering roar, she plucks a crystal from her belt. it shines, light reflected like a prism in her eyes, and she crushes it in her palm without a second thought.

[break][break]

palkia roars once more. light and reality ripple in kind, spurred along by creation.

[break][break]

the spatial dragon shifts, then, and its rosy pearlescent body begins to glow. it lunges forward, trying to slam koraidon right into the dyna tree with z-move: devastating drake.

[break][break]

and as dragon's clash, as the tree quakes with the force of space trying to swallow up the sun, an alchemist tries to lure an imitation of the philosopher's stone into place.

[break][break]

tldr;[break]
- moving from f-2 to d-4[break]
- clashes more with smile, trying to cut his attack in half with a created spatial greatsword[break]
- tries to lure shred to the tree[break]
- uses a z-crystal[break]
- palkia uses devastating drake to try to slam koraidon into the dyna tree - two birds, one stone?[break]
- induces spatial erosion as she tries to beat back shred and focus on the tree as suggested

BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS: MAIN EVENT
POSTED ON Aug 26, 2024 20:41:19 GMT
Aurelie Lefevre Avatar
[attr="class","aurelie"]

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Fight like the sea—the sea is relentless.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]If she had learned anything in the last few, extremely confusing minutes, it was that gods like Rayquaza couldn't be trusted. Yet, mortals, like , remained stalwart and loyal. Where the former betrayed their chosen, the latter struggled, suffered, and still protected their home.

Well, at least some of them did. Others, whom the rest of the world might laud as honorable and virtuous, tried to hack down a blossoming tree and slay a royal Pokemon. Aurelie arrived at the Dyna Tree in time for her Milotic to nourish it and mend its wounds—but not in time to save Calyrex, despite her best efforts.

With a thin cry of horror, she watched as Calyrex was knocked off its Glastrier by a sniper's bullet and began bleeding out atop the Dyna Tree's canopy. He fought so well! Better than I expected! she thought despairingly. If only someone had been here to back him up... If only I'd been here...

Now that she'd made it back to the tree, though, the LIFE DEW scattered by her Milotic fell on a lifeless corpse. Aurelie felt like crying. As she reached helplessly toward the body, her attention was caught by the stunning spectacle of the terrifyingly draconic-looking being swallowed up by Kyogre.

Numb with grief and disbelief alike, Aurelie was barely aware of the waters receding and other trainers swarming about to continue their battles or rescue beleaguered civilians. Calyrex was dead, her onetime cellmate Freya was probably dead, the dream of peace was dead. Sootopolis was drowned. She let them all down, yet she was the only one still here. Still untouched by all this conflict.

She should be out there, helping against Kyogre. She should be protecting the Rocket sub, now that the ebbing tide revealed it to the League's eyes. She should be guiding civilians and Pokemon to safety. She should be...

Wait.

Did Calyrex's head just move? Was that just a trick of the light?

No, it wasn't. Aurelie caught her breath. A flicker of light or energy glimmered above Calyrex's body, stirring and strengthening. 's voice echoed in her memory, full of scholarly glee. "Whatever king Calyrex once was, they have died and have been forgotten. Now, all that remains is the memory of a king who once fought Eternatus... An echo of kingship."

"I remember you," she whispered to Calyrex, her voice coming out as a croak. She coughed impatiently to clear her throat. "I remember you! And I'm not the only one. So, does that mean you're not really dead?"

As it continued to resurrect itself, hope and life flooded back into her heart. But if it's coming back to life, that might mean the League will try to kill it again! she thought. And damn it, I worked too hard on that sword and shield and saddle to let that happen.

"Let's SAFEGUARD Calyrex while it's coming back," she told her Milotic, who also looked more energetic as the sea calmed around them. "But that may not be enough. What else can we do...?"

Unfortunately, Aurelie's training as a smith had utterly failed to include any bodyguarding classes. She looked around rapidly and spotted the fallen sword and shield floating near the body. Making a snap decision, she urged her Milotic toward them and snatched up the familiar shield. She held it ready, poised over the reviving King Pokemon's body to ward it from physical attack as long as her strength held out.

"We'll guard Calyrex," she declared. "We'll keep him safe if the sea turns violent again. Or if the League does. And if anyone comes near..."

Well, that would depend on who they were, wouldn't it? If it was a Rocket she recognized, Aurelie would welcome them. If it was a civilian, she'd direct them with instructions as best she could without leaving her self-appointed post. If it was Kyogre or someone from the League, well, neither the sword nor her Milotic were just for show.

Battle of Sootopolis!


TL;DR:
- Location: Still D4
- Depressed by Calyrex dying, Sootopolis flooding, and Freya being eaten
- Notices Calyrex slowly resurrecting itself and starts feeling hopeful again
- Milotic uses Safeguard to protect Calyrex, and Aurelie grabs the shield she made to guard the King Pokemon with her own body

The Kyogre moves through Sootopolis. And nearby, the horrors persist. Genny has to justify herself in why she let a man fight three-on-one alone. The Dragon of Ideals, with its chosen Avatar , is left to fight alone. He could bear the storm, he was an Avatar, right? No. Instead, it feels as if Kyogre has not even been affected. Her efforts are for naught, and all she has to think for it is that she let them get hurt.[break][break]

She hears Sheriff 's words. They need to help the innocent. The injured. The ones she forsook to challenge the gods. Instead of helping, she aimed too high, and with wax wings she falls as they melt away by her own hubris. It culminates now in this moment.[break][break]

The Origin Pulse comes. It targets a wide spread arc. Hazel eyes watch it come in slower, slower motion. Her eyes lock on. Councilwoman is devoured. Rayquaza isn't enough. Sootopolis drowns.[break][break]

'MOVE,' she screams in her head. Her legs buckle and break under the exhaustion. 'MOVE,' she internally roars, but the fatigue shackles itself around her ankles like a ton of lead. 'MOVE!' Bulu turns their head to see her legs locked down. Her Milotic begins to move. 'SASHA!' And then from their balls, two more. Her Zeraora. 'KY!' Her Hisuian Goodra. 'BEACHBOY!' All three move to protect her. All three are too weak from their duel with to contend. Three pairs of eyes will fall, never to open again.[break][break]

They all smile back to her. A silent goodbye. The price she pays again and again and again.[break][break]

"I REFUSE TO LOSE ANYONE ELSE!" she forces her feet forward with everything left she has in the tank. She is no Avatar. She is no god. She cannot contend with those who are. It was a sword that left her nigh slain. But she leaps forward. Ahead of them. She won't lose another one of them. She races for the ORIGIN PULSE herself, to take it for them instead. She keeps her feet planted, her arms ahead of her face. All three yell back in their native tongues.[break][break]

Her legs give out. Her eyes burn. It hurts all over. Genny is shot outwards, northbound, falling into the waters below. With her plummet comes the crash.[break][break]

For a moment, in the waves... it's peaceful.[break][break]

---[break][break]

BULU watches Genny plummet. The rest of her Pokemon follow after. But Bulu eyes the Great Dyna Tree.[break][break]

@sootopolisletsball[break][break]

NOTES


- SUIT, minus jacket, ripped[break]
- Start: D4 -> End: Northwest?[break]
- Genny feels a sudden hopelessness, as she erroneously attacked Kyogre instead of helping those in need, such as 's 3 on 1 fight. She feels helpless.[break]
- Due to her damage from , the ORIGIN PULSE is nearly blocked by all her Pokemon by Bulu, but through sheer willpower, Genny takes the brunt of the ORIGIN PULSE instead, and falls into the water, northwest from the blast. She won't lose another Pokemon.[break]
- She hits the water... it's peaceful.[break]
- Shiv-ga, I left Bulu as a wild card here. They see the Great Dyna Tree that and are saying to strike. Do what you will. Bulu will be her last mon up. I will take any battle damage forward on Genny. o7 godspeed, everyone.

Racing towards the Kyogre along Celesteela's back, before she can order an attack one is launched by the beast instead. Directly at Zev.
[break][break]
"Zev," she screams into the comms, her voice lilting upwards as he plummets from the sky and into the churning depths below. Pounding her fist on the Ultra Beast she demands, "Find him!"
[break][break]
Celesteela lowers itself, hovering in the vicinity of where he disappeared. For a few excruciating moments she scans the chopping water but then - there - she spies a hand and then the dark hair of her husband's head.
[break][break]
Another directive to Celesteela sends the pair jettisoning in his direction. Nenet reaches downwards, leaning low to grab his hand and haul him from the ocean.
[break][break]
"I've got you," she soothes as she arranges him on Celesteela; her arms wrap protectively around his waist as she leans his head back against her shoulder, the effort made somewhat difficult between her suit and helmet but nonetheless managed.
[break][break]
"I've got you."

NOTES


- .[break]
- Nenet sees Zev fall and searches for him. After a bit she pulls him from the water.[break]
- Location: F4.

Neon leaves to drown. And as he weighs the different points of conflict on the field he has to make a choice. is missing, but Raphael knew how to take care of himself. Could live. Had promised to live. And he would. Much in the same way Neon had told him not to worry, Raphael had done the same. would survive, and is not his problem right now. As usual, she's never his target and he hopes the ENVY of being negligible to a Beast eats her up inside. Her and for gods forsaken fish. His patron shrieks in anger as her winds try to shove the legendary shield back into the depths. [break][break]

And then Kyogre roars, ORIGIN PULSE shooting out in a blinding array. As Neon assessed the drowning city he's shot, shoulder burnt and bloody, and his floating form is sent skimming and skipping over the rough waves little a smooth rock. He slammed into a piece of ripped wall and stone and sinks into the waves, gasping in pain. Saltwater burn and fills his poorly secured helmet. [break][break]

The continued threat to his airways forces his powers to activate, a new instinct that helps him rise to at least cling to the top of the debris, and then climb ever higher. Cries ring out in the comms. He sees G!Moltres and by the tree and felt the call to action, compelled to stand to next to their comrade. [break][break]

And then he sees electricity zipping in the air, and ice vortex and cling to Kyogre. Electronic eyes are drawn to the sources and he was moving before he even considered his God General, or 's desperate calls from the tree. All of Rocket could handle their threats without him. [break][break]

He could handle a threat without them. But he is compelled by loyalty as well. A loyalty that had begun digging it's dangerous hooks into his very psyche years ago. All of Rocket was his ally. All of Rocket was his family, his charges. That's true for any Beast. [break][break]

But for ? For ? He would fall on any sword, fight any monster, commit any sin for them. [break][break]

Where would Neon, The Mercurial, chosen champion of Galarian Articuno and Rocket Beast be? all those titles...and who had pulled that potential from him? Who had beat and struck and crystallized that potential from him? [break][break]

Where would be?
[break][break]

No, it goes beyond loyalty. How does one quantify the worth of a life? The depth of the gratitude within him? [break][break]

Gnocci may be down, but his patron glows with him, sensing a new point of fixation for their favored. Together they move towards the Kyogre. The violet beast screams hovering over the whale's destruction, allowing the humans their hits before they unleash a terrible PSYCHIC NOISE to intercept any healing it may try to sustain. "Need backup? You seem like you've got this!" Neon joked, a bark of laughter as he puts his terrible focus on Kyogre. Oh how he hated this stupid whale. [break][break]

blade halo pog
[break][break]

He plucks feathers, whether or not they're ready as a terrible halo of beautiful plumes shines as they harden and become steel. "I'll carve out your fucking eyes for what you've down to Sootopolis, bitch!" he called out to a deaf god. Dozens of feathers streak and shoot out from the halo that'd formed behind him and shoot for flesh and eyes. Steel aims for blubber and flesh, ready to implant cursed psychic energy. It was already crazy right? What's a little more?

Victoria's attacks were relentless as she continued to chip away at Roy. Her earlier feeling of euphoric bliss now faded into strained confusion versus duty. It was one thing to attempt to kill a nameless League cadet, it was something else entirely when she knew them.

[break][break] No, perhaps that wasn't the only reasoning for her inner turmoil. "Tch." Tori hissed through her teeth as she grinded them against each other in fury. 'Why was Roy here?!'

[break][break] Her chain scythes whip around at her command and tear into Roy's flesh unapologetically. The look on his face mirrored her own as she continued to push forward. The combination from Victoria's constant oppression and her Phione's aggression seemed to overwhelm the man in front of her. He took the brunt of her Phione's SUPERSONIC.

[break][break] "why are you doing this?" he asked her, pain riddled in his voice and decorated his facial features. "I--" she didn't have time to respond before his Zygarde saw fit to remove it's trainer from the equation all together. In a flash, Roy was ripped from her as they began to put distance between the Rocket pair.

[break][break] 'You know you can't let them escape.' the voice echoed in her head. Tori gripped her head as a deep sigh left her lips. 'Blood's already on your hands. It's too late to turn back now.'

[break][break] Victoria closed her eyes and inhaled deeply before swapping her Phione out for her trusted partner. With the waters steadily receding Osiris should have better ground to maneuver now. Glancing at her Lucario she nodded at the jackal. Without any hesitation, the pair seemed to be on the same page. Twisting the mega accessory on her ring finger she brought the ring to her lips as her Oz was enveloped in a blinding light, immediately mega evolving.

[break][break] "Track them down. Don't let them escape." Osiris howled in response as sanguine hues locked onto their retreating targets. Victoria tossed one of her chains to Osiris who grabbed hold and secured it before taking off in a dash.

[break][break] EXTREME SPEED saw the jackal enveloped in a green energy as he dashed off in hot pursuit, dragging his trainer with him.

[attr="class","nametag"]



tl;dr: As the waters continue to recede and Tori finds better footing, her attacks against Roy are brutal and relentless. Before she can answer his question he's yanked away from her via his Zygarde attempting to flee. Tori finds herself hesitating for a small moment before the voice reminds her of her loyalties. For the first time since being here she brings out one of her best cards, Osiris the Lucario and instantly Mega Evolves him as they pursue their 'prey'. (Roy) Mega Lucario uses EXTREME SPEED to close the distance.

Later, the so-called Visionary will stare empty-eyed and disbelieving at 's blood caking her knuckles, splattered across her face, staining her clothing. Later, she will find it impossible to stop shaking, hands and arms burdened by a terrible aching, tears streaming down her cheeks. Later, she will finally, finally, understand the cost of 's undying loyalty, the price paid for loving Nomi so fiercely: a boy in a hospital bed beat half-to-death, and he's only the period at the end of a sentence underlined in shadow.[break][break]
Later, she will think of , and question whether her advice had always been a ruse for ruination to creep its way into her heart.[break][break]
Perhaps they are all doomed to rot. Somewhere else, amidst the corpses lining Petalburg, understands this better than most.[break][break][break][break]
A tremendous force throws her off the Councilwoman, and though she screeches in protest, blue crystal shattering, the surge of magma overcomes Nomi. The water is stained red, and still, it rises - threatening to drown everything in its path. Steam hisses angrily as the elements clash, and Nomi tries to get her bearings only to be frozen in place by a voice in her mind.[break][break]
Have they even told you?[break][break]
? She believes it.[break][break]
My fellow beasts of ruin can be so secretive sometimes. Even towards those around them.[break][break]
Not , she thinks, forcing the PSYCHIC energy out of her mind. Not my brother.[break][break]
Nothing you've done has mattered.[break][break]
She pulls on the thread that binds her to the Unown, wills them to let her leave this hellscape, but nothing happens. ENVY roils in the depths, and she knows it's still watching her, that vile fish ( - it's not her fault, she could have been swayed, its machinations corrupt her like rusting metal - ). Nomi thrashes, trying to stay afloat, and manages to release Lilac, who's gem glows bright amidst the gloom of war.[break][break]
"Take me away," she begs the Starmie. "Anywhere but here."[break][break]
Holding on tight, Nomi beckons for Kallistatus to follow. Lilac blasts one final attack - a HYDRO PUMP - at and her Patron, then uses the momentum of the rushing water to fly through the waves.[break][break]
- your lucky day - [break][break]
The echoes of Father Winter are ripe with pity.[break][break]

- Penny's stolen PSYCHIC attack hits Nomi full force, and the Councilwoman is able to sow seeds of doubt about Nomi's sibling bond with , given he is also bonded with a ruinous beast and ruination is coming for them all...[break]
- Chi-Yu's MEAN LOOK prevents Nomi from using her teleportation powers, so she is forced to release her Starmie in order to survive Kyogre's wrath/the dangerous sea-levels.[break]
- Starmie uses HYDRO PUMP to blast itself away from and Chi-Yu[break]
- The Starmie and Nomi begin swimming away towards C1, Kallistatus following[break]
