"Hold on-!" Omen was able to dig its tendrils of hair into the earth, ingraining itself with the improvised maneuver while Adrian scraped through it by virtue of not being the intended target. Even still the torrential gales kicked up by the hurricane-strength rainstorm only aggrieved him further as his heels dug into the earth, forcing him ever closer towards the sheer cliffs surrounding them.[break][break]

After the main wind force subsided, though hardly returning to anything that could be considered normal, Yveltal took to the skies, harnessing a power hitherto unseen; reigning in its powers of destruction. The air hummed with its energies, the sound of chaos crackling above them their only forewarning. "Omen, Reflect!" There was no telling what power it wielded, he could but shore up their defenses, and pray they held fast against the demon's aura.[break][break]

Aura... The whites of eyes once filled with alarm drank deep of their patron god's influence, the sclera filling in with black as he gazed up at the aggressing pokemon, fixating on that purple blemish against the crimson backdrop that was its godly vessel. What is going on here... Why did I see Howitzer...? His discerning eyes pried for a clue, any glimpse of hope veiled by the Destruction Pokemon.[break][break]

His eyes flickered back to the other trainers, whose names he only knew due to their League affiliations. League representatives, the both of them, and quite accomplished at that... either of them had lofty accolades tucked under their belts. Why was he here, standing among them? Compared to them, he was a nobody. Still, that never stopped Adrian, who aspired to higher stations still than even theirs. To titles beyond their own. They may have been ready to die heroes...[break][break]

But his legend hadn't even begun. So much left unstarted. "..."

Ah, shit.

He was not expecting what happened next—a powerful burst of air had come hurtling down, targeting—“Brace yourself!” he shouted over the loud burst of wind as the Hurricane buffeted the Swampert.

See, that was the danger of turning the weather to one’s advantage—nobody knew if the opponent could turn it to its advantage as well. As the winds blew and gusted around everyone else, the fiercest effects had effectively whipped his Swampert into a very confused state.

Oh, shit. That was not good.

“Ryu—Ryujin?!” he shouted over the wind, hoping that the Pokémon could hear him. Weaving around a little punch-drunk, he knew taking an offensive move while she was Confused was risky, but… well, there was a chance she could direct the attack! All it took was just a pinch of hope… and a shitload of luck.

“Rock Slide.”

Bracing himself, the Swampert attempted to whip up an avalanche of boulders, attempting to throw it in the monstrous deity’s direction.

He hoped.

Thomas' with a widened eye, began to brace himself against the storm. Colt and Thread too would do themselves to brace themselves, as they were whipped around by the violent Hurricane. It was Lars' Swampert that took the worst of it, being left in a state of confusion. As the Yveltal took to the skies, and began to charge up a powerful attack, Adrian's Grimmsnarl got ready to sacrifice himself for the team.

"Colt, heal the Grimmsnarl!", Thomas called out to the Water-type. Colt was taken aback by this, but nevertheless, fired off a Heal Pulse at the Fairy-type, one that would be boosted by his Mega Launcher.

As he looked up, he would take notice to the purple spot on the Yveltal, as if it had been corrupted. "Thread, try to aim your Thunder at the purple part!", Thomas called out to the Galvantula. The Galvantula would attempt to take aim, aided by not only the Rain, but by Compound Eyes as well. Finally, he would loose another bolt of Thunder at the Agent of Death.

DARK AURA - PRESSURE[break]
DARK PULSE / SNARL / HURRICANE / OBLIVION WING / ?? / ??[break]
SLUDGE WAVE / TOXIC / SCREECH / ?? / ?? / ??[break]

PREPARATION FOR THE WORST MEANS NOTHING BEFORE DEATH. No amount of glass walls will allow the REFLECT to mitigate the OBLIVION WING that manifests between Yveltal’s wingspan. The concoction of the Pokemoon’s latent energy crackle until it expands to the point of causing spontaneous outbursts. At this apex, the Pokemon aims at the group, firing off a malevolent dark red beam that threatens to eliminate anyone unfortunate enough to be engulfed by it.
[break][break][break]

Adrian Malcolm’s Grimmsnarl takes one for the team, thrusting itself directly into the attack to prevent it from engulfing them all. The aftermath is blinding, forcing them to look away momentarily. When it calms down, the Grimmsnarl is still standing but saturated into an aged grey as opposed to its traditional shiny palette. The Pokemon has been petrified into solid stone; impossible to move but also impervious to breaking. Even trying to return it will fail as the Pokemon no longer shows any sign of life.

[break]

MOUNT PYRE RUMBLES WITH NEW LIFE. The Swampert goes back to manipulating the environment with another ROCK SLIDE. Multiple boulders are launched like knives into the Pokemon's infinite wingspan. Most of them will leave an invisible bruise but the Pokemon continues to maintain a strong front. Just on body language alone, you would've never guess that the attack was effective. [break][break][break]

But it is Thomas Benoit's sharp eye that catches the Pokemon's true weak point. Under optimal weather conditions and a good set of COMPOUND EYES, the THUNDER is able to nail the bullseye with pinpoint accuracy. The sudden gut punch to the wound causes the Pokemon flinch inwardly and it buckles backwards, as if they knocked the wind out of it. Noticeably, the spot begins to the shrink into nothingness, still smoking from the electrical singe. And when it disappears from view, the Yveltal lets out an ear-deafening cry, SCREECHING as it regurgitates a tremendous SLUDGE WAVE onto those below. [break][break][break]

The TOXIC poison seeps through the pores of everyone present. By chance, Laurence Anderson's RAIN DANCE from earlier helps wash away the toxins before they can burn through clothes and flesh. Unfortunately, even the slightest exposure is enough to leave victim's BADLY POISONED. The Yveltal is no exception; writhing as it tries to cope with purging itself clean. [break][break][break]

outline which POSITION your pokemon is in the formation (front, back, left, right), for the formation shown above (hover) is most likely inaccurate.
make sure you BOLD your pokemon moves/abilities (when they activate).
all pokemon are under a lot of PRESSURE. they cannot use the same move repeatedly. trying to use too many moves may cause them to fumble.

Who stand at my feet

[attr=class,bulk]Adrian felt a pang of guilt as Omen was overcome with darkness.[break][break]

When the energy faded enough for eyes of amber to pierce through the veil of debris, it was evident something had gone awry. Omen stood stalwart, but only for having been seemingly petrified. Its bleach-white hair and deep magenta skin tone were all replaced with greys and the texture of cement, as if transmuted into stone. Lifeless, devoid of anything that could allow him to infer its survival.[break][break]

Nothing more but perhaps a testament to the corrupted gods' malfeasance.[break][break]

It was ostensibly the second pokemon he'd gotten killed at his behest.[break][break]

SPOILER: Click to show

Latent corruption (perhaps of otherworldly origin) is purged from the Yveltal's body as it's smitten with lightning, only for it to become manifest as an outpouring of toxic byproduct that not even the Yveltal can completely cleanse.

[break]

Balled fists at his sides, Adrian casts a scornful gaze skyward, towards the gangling, lumbering beast that had made Adrian's pokemon yet the victim. Eyes of amber saturate with ire as the demon's plight begins, raining down drops of poison that pitter-patter across the entire field, like amethyst teardrops in the wind, just as Adrian himself is forced to stifle a deluge of remorse in futility.[break][break]

Fear leads to anger...

[break]

Will the next pokemon released suffer the same fate? Should he cower in fear of the death god's reprisal? Should he not then consider himself complicit with their deaths? Would he ever, faced with the selfsame odds, bow away from pursuing Howitzer's retribution? Crushing a hand around a pokeball with enough force to threaten crushing it, Adrian unleashes a bold, crimson Gyarados onto the field beneath the lavender glow of the Yveltal's unchecked power. Adrian resolves to deal in death, forced along by fear of his own guilty conscience, and the fatalistic nature of turning his back on such a fierce foe, freshly wounded...[break][break]

Anger leads to hate...

[break]

"Furor; use THUNDER to force it to lower from out of the sky..." His tone lacked compassion or care for his pokemon, only a seething undertone belying the aggressive call to arms that it was. As the sea serpent raises its head high, crying out in its guttural tongue to call upon the heavens, dark clouds begin to beat with the pulse of thunder. As the cacophony of their echoes begins to drum over the sound of the pitter-patter, flashes of yellow-and-blue begin to bloom within the darkest columns, before forks of lightning begin to crash down and ravage the highest heavens, denying the death god its only safe haven.[break][break]

Hate leads to suffering...

[break]

No amount of death may now hold sway over so sorrowfully tempered a soul, yet even with this newfound conviction, there is not hope. Only remorse and self-pity, yet these fuel his spiting of the fates just as well as anything might, spurring along the echoes of a violent mind addled by misfortune and untold influence...

[break]
^{Not sure if the trainers are poisoned too or not... Or what that entails if they are. :pogchamp:[break]
But I'm going to flavor text it that Adrian is corrupted because reasons.[break]
Aware Omen isn't technically dead, but it looks that way In-Character.[break]

Despite his best efforts, the Heal Pulse wasn't enough to save the Grimmsnarl. All Thomas could do was watch on in horror as the Dark Fariy was left petrified in the wake of the attack. Its sacrifice would not be forgotten.

Despite this, blasting the purple blotch on the dark bird was the right call. Despite the poisons spreading out among their Pokemon, and them, Thomas grinned. Even if he was to die to day, he'd die knowing that his Pokemon was responsible for landing such a wicked blow on Yveltal. It wasn't out of hatred or malice for the deity, but rather out of a desire to go out like a warrior. He could only hope that Yveltal would remember this moment.

"Colt, Thread, slam the bird... with everything you got!", Thomas called out.

The Galvantula would fire Electroweb at Yveltal. Meanwhile, boosted by a combination of the intense rainfall, and Mega Launcher, Clawitzer would fire off a Water Pulse at the Agent of Death.

It was thankful (or rather, ironic, really) that amongst them all, the one who had one functioning eye had managed to spot something on the strange—creature’s body and had blasted it earlier with a Thunder attack.

Thank the hell they’d decided to turn the weather to their advantage, however—now all their Pokémon were poisoned, and he internally flinched for a few moments at the strange Pokémon that had flown up to take the hit for everyone else.

As the rain showed signs of weakening, he knew he had to make the most out of it before the rain came to a stop and they lost their advantage.

Using Rock Slide again was too risky, and he had to play it safe—for now. For now.

“Drench it,” he said quietly to Ryujin, before turning to face the other two with him. “I don’t know what the fuck it’s going to throw at us next, but bring it down, as fast as you all can.”

He hoped that at least Thomas understood the intent of his wording, he wasn’t sure if their companion was listening to reason at this point anymore.

Either way, he turned his attention back to the Swampert, who turned to use another Hydro Pump at an attempt to further drench it and get ready for whatever the fuck was coming!

DARK AURA - PRESSURE[break]
DARK PULSE / SNARL / HURRICANE / OBLIVION WING / ?? / ??[break]
SLUDGE WAVE / TOXIC / SCREECH / VENOSHOCK / ?? / ??[break]

UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THEIR ATTACKS the Yveltal crumbles. It’s mighty mass descends on top of them and when it crashes the mountain becomes unraveled under its impressive weight. The way Adrian’s THUNDER comes down crucifies the bird into a direct descent, preventing it from landing right on top of them and crushing them underneath. Grounded, pelting it with ELECTROWEB, WATER PULSE, and HYDRO PUMP becomes simple.

[break][break]

DEFIANT IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY, the Yveltal shakes its head in protest at the attacks. It SCREECHES once more in pain before thrusting its head forward, mouth open, as if to scream. Instead of noise, more poison comes out, a more vicious VENOSHOCK that covers the opponents in a more lethal poison. For most of them, none will recognize the potency of the vile toxins but Thomas Benoit’s experience will see a vague familiarity to the sample he found at during New Years. [break][break][break]

[break][break]

Like a feline, the Yveltal continues to choke on its own poison until it hacks up the hairball that has been upsetting its body. Among the sludge is a much smaller Nihilego, writhing in its own death as the Yveltal finds the strength to eject it from its body. Panting in exhaustion, it follows up with a vengeful OBLIVION WING to turn the Ultra Beast parasite into raw stone. The maleficent energy petrifies the beast, shattering it into dust the moment the Pokemon becomes entirely stone. In comparison, Adrian's Grimmsnarl remains whole.[break][break][break]

IT'S A ONE-HIT KO! [BREAK]
NIHILEGO DIES. [BREAK]

[break]

AS IF ON CUE, an Ultra Wormhole manifests high above Mount Pyre. The neon spread of colors reveals another Nihilego on the other end, this one much bigger and comparative to the one from New Years. A RED AURA emanates from it as it prepares to descend, tentacles wriggling in preparation to attack. For now, it seems to ignore the humans and Pokemon here, tunneling on the Yveltal as it floats downward. [break][break]

"THE BALANCE REMAINS SKEWERED. [BREAK]
AND MY POWERS ARE WANING. [BREAK]
THE FAILURE TO HEED MY CALL— [BREAK]
I CANNOT FEND IT OFF. "

[break]

Yveltal tries to keep a distance from the Nihilego by launching another OBLIVION WING but this one is noticeably smaller and lacks the same punch as the previous ones. The Nihilego starts to turn to stone but the process stops mid-way up a tentacle. As if the counter it, the Ultra Beast coats the same tentacle in its neurotoxin, melting the appendage off and preventing further petrification. [break][break]

"ESCAPE HUMANS. [BREAK]
ESCAPE AND PREPARE. [BREAK]
FOR YOU HAVE FAILED ME BUT YOU ARE MY LAST HOPE.[BREAK]
THEY ARE COMING."

[break] [break]

[break]
NIHILEGIO appears![break] [BREAK]

[break]

[break]
YVELTAL uses OBLIVION WING![break]
NIHILEGO RESISTS IT. [BREAK]

[break][break]

DESPITE BEING ATTACKED FROM A DISTANCE, the Nihilego shows no outward malice. It continues its approach until it's within physical striking distance. Once it gets close enough, the Pokemon inflates like a balloon, slowly covering the Yveltal's left wing as it tries to swallow the Legendary Pokemon inside of it. Exhausted from both expelling the previous Nihilego as well as fighting the trainer's present, the Yveltal can barely put up a resistance, swatting at the Ultra Beast with its other wing. Despite this, the Ultra Beast doesn't budge, continuing its apprehension and absorption of the Legendary Beast.[break][break][break]

Those with the SHINIGAMI EYES will feel Yveltal's pain. The searing feeling of the neurotoxin burning through its wings will be shared across it oracles, watering their eyes in intense pain. They can feel the Yveltal struggle and resistance but like the Pokemon said, it's far too weak. If only it was able to siphon the energy that it had requested of those present. [break][break][break]

instructions

outline which POSITION your pokemon is in the formation (front, back, left, right), for the formation shown above (hover) is most likely inaccurate.
make sure you BOLD your pokemon moves/abilities (when they activate).
all pokemon are under a lot of PRESSURE. they cannot use the same move repeatedly. trying to use too many moves may cause them to fumble.
you may off up the life of your pokemon, character, or both to help empower yveltal.

So far, their combined efforts were working out. Attack after attack landed on the Agent of Death, before it unleashed another Screech, and a torrent of toxins. But something was wrong. Thomas realized just how familiar the toxins were. They were similar to the toxins left by the Nihilego, the very ones that infected dahlia goode.

Indeed, they got their answer when the Yveltal spat up a smaller Nihilego, before killing it off with an Oblivion Wing, reducing the thing to not stone, but dust in the wind. But before he could question anything further, another Wormhole opened up, giving way to a much larger Nihilego, one bathed in a menacing red aura.

As Yveltal told the group to run, to prepare for what was coming, Thomas clenched his fist. "Go if you want! Someone needs to warn the others!", he'd tell the other two, before turning back to Yveltal. "Yveltal! I refuse to abandon you!", Thomas declared. "I will offer myself up to you, to give you the strength you need to fight back! I only ask that you help the League in its time of need! Not only to expel the Ultra Beast menace, but the criminal elements waiting in the shadow, Rocket, or otherwise!", Thomas called out, outstretching his arms as he called out to the bird.

His Galvantula and Clawitzer would stand by his side, offering themselves up alongside their master. As he attempted to protest, the Clawitzer cried out to him, as if telling him to shut up. The two of them were dead set on remaining with their master, even in the face of death. "Thank you both. I am blessed to have such amazing family by my side.", he'd tell them.

Descending misery

[attr=class,bulk]Adrian could feel the moment coming to a head, the vindication welling up inside as their efforts began to overwhelm Yveltal, whom finally began to show signs of cracking under the pressure. It hadn't been easy, and he'd given up much...[break][break]

But soon their moment would be at hand. Even as the beast collapsed to the ground, he thought only of the victory; of how sweet the irony for them to destroy the destroyer. But much to his chagrin, his dreams of victory were soon put to rest, and the naivety of their short-sighted conflict would be made apparent as the god of destruction choked on its own bile. Expelled from its gullet with a vile retching, a lump of queer flesh was expunged from its body, writhing in futility before the Yveltal quelled the life in a similar manner to Grimmsnarl.[break][break]

Before the creature was obliterated, they caught a glimpse of its form.[break][break]

It's like the thing from Slateport. That's been inside Yveltal this whole time...?![break][break]

Adrian was no stranger to these beasts and the influence they held; the untold powers they brandished. The clown effigy had devastated Slateport, and the threat of the Megalopolans was on the rise. And now he'd borne witness to one afflicting the likes of Yveltal, destruction incarnate. And though the demon had at last freed itself, it had now incurred the wrath of something far greater; trading one set of chains for another, heavier and tighter than the last. Yveltal brings its final vestige of strength to bear in desperation, but the Nihilego makes short work of it, entangling the specter of death in its body even as its tentacle petrifies.[break][break]

[break]

Altogether they feel the resplendence of their connection to Yveltal quicken, the tether between souls turning ghastly as they feel a stream of despair and hollow rage, overwhelmed only by pangs of agony felt as the idol of darkness became the plaything of this leviathan entity come from beyond the rift between worlds.[break][break]

This third party threatens death beyond counting, and though Adrian is loathe to overlook Yveltal's slight, they would be without recourse should this beast fall into an outworlder's pocket. His vendetta against Yveltal is only momentarily stymied by the presence of a far more dire omen. But something is still bothering him.[break][break]

As Thomas urges them to leave if they so choose, he mulls over the last few weeks spent in Yveltal's name, thinking back to the sins committed for its self-aggrandizing sacrament... Were those lives not nearly enough?[break][break]

And if so, how could Thomas' sacrifice alone make the cut?[break][break]

Through the tears and the pain, Adrian's teeth grit against themselves before he can bark out the words. "Oh no, you don't get to give up so easily. Too many have already died for nothing less than your revival... You WILL honor that accord..."[break][break]

The lives of those lost had been taken perhaps by more than one... but all too much his hands felt the ruddy stains of blood, innocent and virile, all for what...? For their own 'god' to break faith...? Even now he seethed with a malcontent for Yveltal, but contrary to his ego, he deigned to lend it his aid...[break][break]

But Adrian would not presume to offer it anything beyond himself.[break][break]

"Furor, if you stand by me..." He winces through the sheer torment of Yveltal's blighted soul. "Tch... Let out your all... On the big, ugly pale one... Don't let it take hold of Yveltal-!!!" His chest heaves and his breathing is labored as he strives to ignore the aching, burning sensations riveting through flesh and bone. Bowing over at the waist, his body begins to numb with adrenaline, and yet the soul and mind are flayed ruthlessly still, dampening naught but the frigid feeling of cold and the misting rains against his clammy, pallid skin. Falling to his hands and knees, he asks himself: What more could be done to avert this outcome?[break][break]

As he went prone to the ground in a form of supplication, he too made a heartfelt plea, though he was not so humble: "If you are truly the aspect of destruction... Then destroy this false god before you, and all who would follow after its footsteps. If for nothing else, b-because..." Adrian's voice began to falter and he croaked over the syllables as his forehead dipped against the damp earth, his strength failing him as mortal limitations were reached, pushed beyond the threshold of pain. Or perhaps the weakness in his limbs was something more.[break][break]

...We are born of a shared earth; birds of the same feather... And they would continue to share it in ruin and prosperity. But what strikes as odd is the reason Adrian offers; is it truly meant to inspire the beast, or is it perhaps a justification of his own martyrdom? Or even more possible yet, an admission of guilt.[break][break]

As his eyes glazed over with the film of unconsciousness, he dared cast a weary glance towards the clashing giants before them, watching as Furor lunged forward with a hitherto unseen voracity, its BITE attack becoming something more as Yveltal's waning DARK AURA granted him perhaps its final boon, condemning Nihilego to the unmitigated terror of its BALEFUL BRUX...[break][break]

But was that enough to stay the beast's hand?

[break]

Wracked with inhuman pain, Adrian threatened to slip out of the waking world...

He could only blink at the shock of what was happening. At the same time, the Rain Dance was fading, petering out—unfortunately, he also noticed that Ryujin was trembling on her feet.

He was torn on making her stand strong and continue, but the way she was shaking—the poison was clearly affecting her in ways unknown. Quickly pulling out her containment unit, he recalled the Swampert, and with that the Rain Dance finally came to a halt.

However, what happened next would have Lars riveted on the spot. Looking skyward, he saw something—strange, open above, and what the fuck was that?! There was some strange kind of portal that had opened far above, and then—and then there was another.

Another squid-like creature, descending and attempting to eat… wait, attempting to eat the herald of destruction?!

That’s fucked up! he thought before he felt his eyes sting painfully, forcing them shut for the briefest of moments as he fought to remain standing. The pain was too fucking much. He couldn’t open his eyes, but he could hear what the hell was going on around him!

In the general direction of Thomas’s voice, Lars shouted, “Are you crazy?! What about Verdanturf? I know you have family in the region! What am I going to tell them?!” while trying to force his eyes open. It still hurt like a motherfucking bitch, despite his best efforts to numb himself to the pain constantly assaulting him.

He didn’t know what their other companion was planning—but if they were going to stand a chance to warn everyone else who wasn’t at Mount Pyre… he bit his lower lip. He didn’t want to turn away, not after having come so far! They were… close, so close, if one could call it that—

“Fine! But I swear, should you make it out later, Thomas, I’m going to want a word with you after this!” he shouted as he rummaged blindly through his jacket, pulled out a Pokéball at random and forced his eyes open for the briefest of seconds, letting out a sigh of immense relief as Ro, his Metagross, had emerged.

“Ro! Time to fly!” he shouted, clambering half-blind through the muck and stumbling atop the Metagross’s back.

Knocking exactly once, he felt his body collapse on the Metagross’s cold steel body before the hulking beast folded his legs in and used Magnet Rise, preparing to get the fuck out of the area should shit go even farther south than it already had.

DARK AURA - PRESSURE[break]
DARK PULSE / SNARL / HURRICANE / OBLIVION WING / ?? / ??[break]
SLUDGE WAVE / TOXIC / SCREECH / VENOSHOCK / ?? / ??[break]

THE FAILURE TO HEED YVELTAL'S WARNING comes with a heavy price. Those present will witness the great legend become consumed by the Ultra Beast. It starts with the wing but over time the Nihilego will expand to swallow the Legendary whole. The orifice gapes open once the Pokemon is rendered PARALYZED by it's neurotoxin, unable to move, unable to resist. Once the Nihilego has it there's no escape. Much like dahlia goode, the Pokemon becomes a vessel for the parasite, evident by how the Ultra Beast changes colors and starts to hang from the Pokemon like a secondhand accessory. It's DARK AURA seems to dim as the Ultra Beast adapts to the Pokemon's ability, evolving into something more. [break][break]

[break][break]

ADRIAN'S GYARADOS IS THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE. While the others try to give up their life energy to revitalize Yveltal, Gyarados is the only one to take up an offensive stance. It lunges at the new Ultra Beast horror, tearing at the Nihilego's head with a BALEFUL BRUX. [break][break]

As it sinks its teeth into the stony flesh of the Nihilego it will feel the poison start to burn through its prized teeth and the inner linings of its mouth. It burns, it hurts, and the more pressure the Pokemon puts into the bite the weaker they get. Eventually, the poison reaches a nerve and its teeth shatter against the impenetrable hide of the otherworldly monster. But even then the Pokemon doesn't give in. Like a predator, it shakes, ferocious in nature, wringing the Ultra Beast as its anger matches Adrian's hate. Despite the pain, through the injuries, the Pokemon persists as the group's final hope. Tenacity allows it to dislodge the Nihilego for only a second, forcing the Ultra Beast to lash out with its tentacles to address the red menace. [break][break]

"HUMANS!"

[break]

That moment is enough for the Yveltal to collect its toll. Thomas, his Pokemon, and Adrian will find their consciousness fade as their life energy is sapped from their bodies. Their skin will turn cold, slowly turning to stone as Yveltal's petrification completes the process. Lars escapes on his Metagross, able to catch one last glance of their statues before he escapes the battlefield. Once he reaches safety, he'll be able to spot the peak of Mount Pyre turn into a haze of red and purple lightning, harboring the final storm of the Legendary's showdown. [break][break]

Thomas and Adrian will have no bearings on their current location. As far as their eye can see is a great expanse of nothingness. Only a dim red light sits in the distance, pulsing, drawing them closer as they travel toward it against their will. "IT IS NOT A LOT BUT IT IS ENOUGH. THANK YOU." It flashes once more before igniting into a blinding white light. [break][break]

The Ghost Pokemon of Mount Pyre vacate their home and tombstones as their innate sixth sense warns them of a foreboding future. For every Pokemon that leaves their haunting an actual ghost comes forth, summoned by their herald. They start to congregate in consolidation against the Ultra Beast menace. Specter hands reach out, supporting the beast in its final moments. [break][break]

"O B L I V I O N W I N G !"

[break]

[break][break]

HOURS TURN INTO DAYS, DAYS INTO A WEEK. And somehow despite the calamitic battle atop Mount Pyre, the events go unnoticed by the region at large. Only Lars will have any recollection of it but upon his return he'll recognize that the area is impossible to enter. Malicious energy strikes at anyone who dares venture too close, as if protecting something. Eventually, that too dissipates as time heals all. [break][break]

The sound of something cracking will rouse Thomas from his slumber. Everything is still dark but he can feel his own breath, gasping when the air feels both stale and limited. It only takes him a moment to recognize this and calm himself. Adrian proves luckier as a part of his shell cracks right down the middle. Nothing else happens until he feels something thump against him. His Gyarados, which had remained, protecting the duo during the week out of commissions, rubs against his statue, breaking him from his bindings. Thomas too will be able to break free, inching his way through by breaking piece by piece from the inside out. [break][break]

[break][break]

"IT IS NOT YOUR TIME. THAT MUCH IS ASSURED."

[break]

Yveltal's slumped, exhausted body is there to greet them. It stares at them, menacing as the behemoth dwarfs both of them up close, before breaking into a glare. "BUT MY POWER HAS WANED. I MUST REST IN PREPARATION. WE ARE NOT DONE YET AND WE ARE NOT PREPARED. " It coils back into its cocoon form leaving both of them to their own devices. [break][break]

"WHEN BALANCE RETURNS BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH [BREAK]
I SHALL ARISE [BREAK]
UNTIL THEN, FAREWELL."

[attr=class,bulk]Mt. Pyre has not lost its eerie ambiance, yet Adrian cannot help feeling welcome.[break][break]

Adrian arrives atop Usurper, though quickly stows the pokemon away. Ahead of him is the summit, and what he believes to be Yveltal, nearly restored to its potent godhood, brimming in equals parts life and death. With its ravenous pursuit of balance momentarily achieved, what now would it ask of its servants...? Curiosity has him in its thrall as he takes the steps towards Yveltal's ebony cocoon. Its carapace writhes as the demon within stirs restlessly.[break][break]

Back at Mauville's warfront, bodies are still being salvaged from the wreckage that is Xurkitree's fallout. In the aftermath of the titan's fall, Adrian had failed to offer a boon of death to Yveltal, although he can only wonder if that is as the fates willed. Moreover he did not as yet feel the victor with Coltillard lost to kidnappers...[break][break]

...And the call of death rarely boded aught but ill to those who answered...[break][break]

Thomas feels his consciousness fade from him. Soon, petrification sets in, reducing his body, as well as the bodies of Colt and Thread, to stone. Soon, Thomas finds himself in a void, with only a dim red light being visible in the distance, drawing closer as he finds himself traveling towards it. Thomas does not resist, allowing himself to be carried towards it. After Yveltal's words, a flash of white light is all he sees, before nothing.

A week later, the sounds of cracking roused Thomas from his slumber. He'd wake to darkness, barely able to move, feeling his breath, stale and limited. He's able to calm himself after a moment. At first, his movements are extremely limited, but with every little flex, the brittle stone encasing his body starts to crack. Thomas, through sheer willpower, inches away at his stone prison, cracking it away little by little, until he finds himself able to break free of it.

Thomas collapses to the ground, taking in the fresh air around him, fingers gripping into the ground. The sudden exposure to the light would overwhelm his vision, forcing him to clench his eyes shut. After a moment, Thomas would slowly open his eyes, his vision slowly normalizing. After taking a moment to get his bearings, he would see Adrian, and his Gyarados. Thread and Colt would be standing where they were, attempting to free themselves as well.

Checking on his Pokeballs, he'd find them free of their petrified states as well. Thomas would quickly send out Ripper the Scizor, who looked around at his surroundings, shocked at what he was seeing.

"Ripper, help them- get free.", Thomas told the Scizor, coughing as he did so. Ripper would see the statues of his comrades, and with a tap of his steely pincers, the duo was able to free themselves of their stone prisons, the two of them barely conscious.

As Ripper would look up to see the slumped over bird, he would look back at Thomas, in disbelief. Thomas could tell what the Scizor was conveying. That it felt hurt by the fact that he didn't get to fight the giant red bird. "I would've-" he started, before breaking to cough. "-if I could.", he finally continued. Ripper's Pokeball was one of those that ended up petrified.

Thomas would listen to the words of the Agent of Death. All he could do was watch as the Yveltal curled back up into its cocoon form. All he could do was contemplate what Yveltal had said, before finding the strength to recall his Pokemon, and bring out Kalameet the Hydreigon instead.

"Adrian. Need a ride?", he'd ask, offering to fly him back to civiliazation.

----

After the bloody war between worlds, Thomas found himself being called by an all too familiar power. Flying up the mountain on the back of Kalameet, Thomas found himself before the all too familiar Cocoon of Destruction. Was the bloody war being waged across Hoenn, one that claimed so many lives, enough to restore the balance?

There was only one way to find out. As Thomas arrived, recalling his dragon, all he could do was await the words of the Agent of Death.
