Their attempts to punch at Arthur's head would not amount to much. The hulking zombie would grab the heads of the two fighters. Thanks to Ripper's slick and hardened exoskeleton, slipping out of the zombie's grip wasn't too difficult for the armored insect. Brutus, on the other hand, couldn't manage to escape, as he roared in rage first, but then in desperation and horror.

"Brutus!!!!!", Thomas howled as the panda's head was crushed in the grip of the zombie. After that, Fernando's Pokemon would join in on the assault, too little, too late. All Thomas could do was kneel down in horror as he lost another Pokemon. It took him a moment to collect himself, before he'd fumble for something.

A cocoon of rainbow energy, starting out as a rock-like shell, would envelop the Scizor, expanding rapidly, before exploding to reveal that the Scizor's form had changed. The already tall insect had become taller, its pincers lengthened and becoming more menacing. The armor had also been reinforced along its body.

The sight of the gray ring spewing out a train caught the trainer's attention. As the contents came pouring out towards those going for the bottle, Thread would begin hopping towards the walls, hopping along and scurrying as fast as he could in order to avoid the runaway train. Meanwhile, Ripper would dash towards the ring, before delivering a Bullet Punch to it.

Thomas would see the Hyper Beam coming from the corner of his eye. Attempting to act fast, Thomas would hit the ground as fast as he could, in an attempt to get under it.

Split second decisions, only moments to breath, seconds to move his feet.

He makes them with confidence because he and his team know their fate. They always have. Whether this is a dream or not doesn't change. There are 2 rules of travel and if he doesn't feel a pokemon is okay with them they don't even come with him.



Evan moves for the edge of the platform, drops and slides for the edge because what the fuck else is he supposed to do? He's reckless and stupid sometimes but even he's not dumb enough to try and do anything but get out of the way. So you know what? Yolo baby. His feet leave the eddge, the rest of him isn't far behind and he grabs the edge of the platform in time to keep himself from falling. A saving grace that this isn't the first time he's had to hang off a cliff and pull himself up after something dangerous passed by (you know, like a wild bouffalant that he should not be making angry).

He waits and hopes the train is dealt with before the strength in his hands give out. Can they give out? It's a good question since he's certain it's a dream. If the body hasn't been transported then it's a matter of what the mind can handle. If that's the case he's not stressed enough anymore for this to feel draining.

Now it just feels like some kind of wild ride he didn't sign up for but at least it's getting kind of fun.

>>evan yolo'd it off the side of a platform
>>hanging off the edge of a platform and waiting for the train to go by/be dealt with
>>pretty sure dream world = will power and mental strength over physical so he's pretty sure he's not actually going to get tired and fall as long as he believes he won't get tired and fall

>>He's in your hands now shiv

Thankfully, the Rock Slide coming from Ryujin helps in slowing down the incoming undead Manectric—he notices that two heads aside, the canid has a different look—a different feel, actually—about it.

Before he can so even make a single observation about it, everyone else who had aimed their attacks on the zombie canine witness the ‘death’ of the undead… wait, why was it not dead anymore…

He can only blink as he watches the canine go after its former master—in this case, Kyle—before the Togepi’s randomized Metronome lands and saves him from sheer death.

He doesn’t even flinch at the sight of the beheaded canine.

Thankfully, four of the six rings had been dealt with, but with the Misty Terrain—things get a little dire. Seeing that there was another Metagross who was attacking the steel-gray hoop alone, he grit his teeth—if he hadn’t used Ro earlier, he’d be able to help. But no. Grievous mistakes were made, and here he was, paying for it. The steel-gray ring—or hoop, whatever—vibrates before…

“What… the… fuck?!”

That’s all he has time to say as he sees a train hurtling out of it. Bearing down on one side of the field. His gaze is drawn toward the other side, toward the draconic-purple ring…

And recognizes the incoming attack. It’s a Hyper Beam. But it looks far too large, far too powerful…

…and far too deadly.

“Ah, shit,” he swears to himself. Now that he’s down several Pokémon, he swears once more, before quickly recalling Daena—there’s no way he’s risking Alpha at this point as the powerful attack begins to bear down on all of them.

“Ryujin. We’re running for it! Use your Protect when I tell you to!” he shouts, turning tail and making a run for it.

Down three Pokémon. Three important, useful Pokémon. He’s left with the supporting half of his team. He watches as the Swampert leaps after him, running as fast and as far away as they can from the incoming harbingers of death.

What was going to end him? The train?

Or the Hyper Beam?

He had to make tracks, and fast! Seeing a chance, he shouts at Ryujin, before attempting to tackle her to the ground, hoping that the Swampert’s Protect is powerful enough to save them…

However, it seems luck is not on Lars’s side.



• If he had Ro, the gray ring would be a snap. But no. He doesn't. Witnesses the carnage on the Mega Manectric. Doesn't even flinch when it gets beheaded. Yikes.
• Relieved that most of the rings have been dealt with but WTF IS THAT SHIT COMING OUT OF THE GRAY LOOP. A TRAIN? WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK?!
• Thankfully he's not in THAT path. Cringes, however, when he sees the huge-ass mouth firing off a Hyper Beam. An AoE Hyper Beam.
• Recalls Ampharos
• Since Lars has no more Pokémon that can fly because they're all DEAD, turns to Ryujin. Swears under his breath
• Basically: Lars and Swampert try to hightail it as fast and as far away as they can, away from the train, away from the Hyper Beam
• Has Swampert break out Protect and tries to get the fuck out of the way with Ryujin by knocking her to the ground and holding onto her as tightly as he can as the shield snaps into place. Hopefully they don't DIE
