Grigori saw something betwixt the rocks that slammed into the black-and-purple bird: a poisonously purple sphere. His eyes went wide. No. No no no. Just before Freddy could fire off another Earth Power, the nasty treat disappeared down the gullet of the bird in one swift gulp. And then it grew.

And grew.

And grew.

Not to the size of a properly dynamaxed Pokémon, but big enough to cause problems. Many, many problems. Now worry flooded his caffeinated vessels, and he took a cautious step back. Freddy roared violently, yet it was like a Durant screaming at a Golurk. Scrapes and bruises were the least of their worries.

How fast can either of you get your strongest Pokémon here?” He called out to the duo. The grunt kicked himself over thinking they’d be potentially fine without them. “Or any of our bosses.

After all, the situation had escalated substantially. “Freddy, unleash the Blood Moon!

Freddy wasted no time. The skies turned dark, and a red orb peaked through the sky. Even if it was an act, and the attack came from just above the bear, that didn’t make it any less threatening. The Blood Moon slammed into the Fezandipiti. And… it looked to be hurt from the attack?

But not enough to faint. The bird only had to preen its feathers and let loose its ruined black billows with a Roost. Fuck.

Fox, Shred?” Grigori half-dashed-half-ran to the duo, as split up as they were. They’d need to be a team to get anywhere.

I think I was wrong, earlier.

For a moment, the admin wanted to scream at how unfair this was. There wasn't a Power Spot anywhere in the woods, as far as Howard knew. The closest ones were on Route 102 and 104. Yet he knew Dynamax better than anyone in Team Rocket, and he could quickly parse that this wasn't Dynamax.

It was a load of bullshit, but not Dynamax.

"Oh, FU-"

The Titanic Munkidori sent Howard flying into the treeline with his psychic powers. Branches snapped and cracked and tore at the admin's back as he disappeared into a sea of green.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

Eventually his voice disappeared as well, leaving Serizawa and Shirley alone to compete with the monkey. Taking advantage of the roosting Fezandipiti, the pupa slammed into the ground with Earthquake, causing trees to fall over. One threatened to crush the monkey, but foresight saved Munkidori from splatting against the floor.

Shirley dove down, tearing at the Toxic Chain, before swooping out of range once again.

arceus. fucking. damn it.[break][break]

as the okidogi swells in size, you take the time it spends transformating to catch your breath. did they just dynamax? no, they couldn't have. no power spot nearby, no dynergy barriers, and no ominous red glow. but then, if it wasn't that, then what the hell was it? urgh. getting real tired of this bullshit. spaceships, cloning, reviving from the dead... how do these pricks keep managing to pull shit out of their asses? is that mochi full of plutonium? are those toxic chains doing cold fusion?[break][break]

"ow! ow! ow! shred! shred!!! please help me!!! yeooooowch!!!!!"[break][break]

oh. right. chester.[break][break]

as the gholdengo gets thoroughly trounced by the massive mutt, you take the opportunity to reassess your choice of pokemon. evidently, you'll need a heavier hitter to get this job done. with the winged king elsewhere, that might seem a problem. lucky for you, though, you've got more than one powerhouse under your belt.[break][break]

and it's one this bitch of a dog is more than familiar with.[break][break]

"gouging fire! knock it down!"[break][break]

as your prehistoric entei bursts forth, it immediately rushes the mongrel, aiming to bulldoze it and knock it off its feet. yet though it might be stupid, it's unfortunately not that stupid. as it see the glowing horns coming for it, it immediately turns it attention towards the newcomer, and pushes back against it with its massive palms.[break][break]

you, meanwhile, allow the orichalcum to flow from your fingertips, and get to work...

Unfortunately for Shred, his Pokemon would be down one ally as the Fezandipiti capitalized on the conjured Blood Moon. Its crimson red hue adopted a more lighter shade, transforming into a dazzling pink. The Moon's Blast went straight for the Ursaluna and sent it reeling.

And it gave one final heave as it lay still on the grass. Oh no. Fezandipiti gave him a dangerous glare, and he once more stepped back. He was now a stone's toss away from Shred, who had sent out a dangerous beast.

And perhaps that was the right idea. Grigori grabbed his poke ball and clicked it open. White and red emerged to conjure up yet another paradoxical being. One from the past, with a hilariously tall neck that let it nearly rival the heights of their foes.

Raging Bolt, tall and mighty. But it would still likely not be enough against the fairy-wielding bird.

If either of you two have an ace up your sleeves, now would be a perfectly good time to show it!” Grigori called over the rising voltage. Thunder rained down straight atop the Fezandipiti, a powerful yet still nonlethal blow.

What would save them?

Nothing would. Even if Regirock, Regice, or Koraidon could make it here in time, they would have to stall for long. Koraidon was fast. One of the fastest Pokémon in the world, no doubt, yet it would not enjoy a trek through gnarled trees and roots in an attempt to reach its avatar.

Howard, Shred, and Grigori were alone.

As Shirley flew around, the monkey's eyes shined with a vision of the future. A large blast of sludge erupted from the Toxic Chain, forcing the Aerodactyl to swerve. As if by fate, a tree fell towards Shirley, causing her to careen and crash into the ground. Munkidori snickered and laughed, before turning to face the Pupitar before it.

Using its psychic powers, Munkidori punted the pupa like a football, sending it crashing into several trees. A large swath of the forest fell, and the monkey meandered forward.

"Mmmmmkay?" Munkidori leaned down to sneer at Serizawa, only to be met with eyes that pierced through the retainer's soul.

They saw.

And they hated.

Serizawa had been born with a chip on his shoulder. For over a year, he had disregarded Howard's every order. The Vital City Tournament had taught Howard that he and the small fiend were completely incompatible. Yet when the admin had changed after Petalburg, Serizawa had been left in the dust.

But Serizawa was Junior's child, after all. had given Howard this Larvitar. At the time, the archaeologist hadn't understood why. Perhaps the sheriff had seen something.

"Mmmmmka-?" A fist erupted from the pupa, cracking stone as it reached out to grab the titanic Munkidori's throat and squeeze. "ACK!?"

The retainer's eyes bulged as it squirmed.

the struggle between gouging fire and okidogi drags on. as does the struggle of your allies and their own prospective marks. simplicity in all its forms seems to evade you in every aspect of your life, be it personal and professional. and frankly? you've had quite enough of that.[break][break]

just as the okidogi seems to get the upper hand on your paradox, you put your plan into action.[break][break]

"HEY, MONGREL! QUIT YOUR STRUGGLING AND DIE LIKE THE DOG YOU ARE!"[break][break]

the hound turns its attention towards you just as you fling your orichalcum spear towards it. in every aspect except one, it is perfect. the spear, sharp enough to pierce even the thickest hide. the angle, perfectly aimed to strike the face and hit something vital. the force, enough to ensure that whatever the result, it deals more than enough damage to leave a mark. in a just and fair world, it would've tore through skin, skull, and synapse all at once, and dropped the dog dead on the spot. but, as you've come to learn over days and weeks and months and years and decades, this is not a fair and just world. [break][break]

upon seeing the lethal projectile rush towards it, the beast swings back. you can practically see its spine bend at unnaturally as it leans far past the point of reason, and even further besides. yet, when all is said and done, the spear buries itself in a nearby tree, and the wretched dog stands tall once more, unharmed.[break][break]

"...are you fuckin' kidding me?"[break][break]

no, it was not. and with nothing else to stop it, the toxic tramp wasted no time in slamming your gouging fire into the ground and tossing it aside like garbage. was this truly the end? all of your divine power, all of your heavenly wrath, was it really not enough to beat a single stray mutt? was this... really your limit...?[break][break]

...[break][break]

"...everyone..."[break][break]

All Fezandipiti had to do what Roost once more. A simple pruning of feathers left it better off than before. Grigori gulped. Even as the Pupitar finally found its mark, it wasn’t without sacrifice. Shirley fell far to the wayside. Shred missed by a wide margin. Gouging Fire flew.

He had already failed two Pokémon, and a third if his paradoxical beast took any more blows. Yet another Moonblast would grace them shortly. They needed a miracle, yet the obvious ones were too far away.

Except…

Except…

Oh no.

But what other choice was there? All they could do was hope it worked. As Gholdengo chanted in its impossibly obtuse language (that of all Pokémon), Grigori did what he did best: engage. Only now did it pose an actual benefit. But was also comedically risky. Desperate times, and such.

Raging Bolt, follow me! To Mr. Shred!

Together, they galloped forward and onward. Straight to the Fezandipiti. As a pink moon threatened to bowl them over, they put themselves directly between the bird and the dog. “Fight me! Come on!

Group them up and let the golden statue do the heavy lifting. To further emphasize this, Raging Bolt called forth one more dizzying surge of electricity, and Thunder struck the Okidogi. Hopefully that would get its attention. The bigger they were, the harder they’d fall.

As Munkidori squirmed against the unyielding fist choking out his titanic neck, the rest of the pupa crumbled as Serizawa emerged. The beast within seemed to grow in size as the pupa shattered apart, littering the ground with discarded pieces of stone. Any poisoning was discarded by the Shed Skin of Serizawa's prior form, and the forest was hit by a massive sandstorm as Sand Stream activated.

"GRAAAAAAAAWR!"

With that proclamation, Serizawa grabbed the monkey by its Toxic Chain and swung it through several trees. With a desperate squawk, Munkidori attempted to pelt the Tyranitar with several mental attacks, only for his Dark-type to shrug them off with minimal ease.

SLAM! A tree fell on Munkidori as Serizawa slammed it around again, but foresight allowed it to dodge the fall. Using the opportunity, a Focus Blast was fired towards the tyrant, but with such poor aim, the monkey was struck with a curse that many users of the technique had suffered before:

Focus Blast missed.

"Uggguhhhhhhhh..." Howard's eye fluttered, his vision swimming. Yet his eye narrowed to watch as his wallet flew past Grigori. As if opened by an invisible hand, the wallet opened, and a few humble pennies flew towards whatever Chester was planning. "Wait, NO!"

A half-dozen plastic rectangles emerged from the wallet and connected with Chester's golden surface.

"MY CREDIT CARDS!"

Somewhere, the funding for 's research was cut down to zero, and would have to forgo any hopes of Howard settling his tab. Business accounts emptied to mere triple digits, including decimals.

"SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"
