THEIR FAVORED TACTIC is to strike from the air. and so, a flock of hawlucha have found themselves dropping down from the launch mount at mossdeep space center. with every leap, these masked birds show off to their peers and dodge lobbed pokeballs with bravado. however, scientists at the space center worry about the potential damage caused by these birds. please, clear them out.[break][break]

what will you do?

[attr="class","lancepost"]it's almost entertaining to watch people fling pokeballs at them. they dodge them with such ease and bravado that makes lance question if anyone would even be able to capture them. there's absolutely no reason to; they aren't causing any harm. unless scientists consider MOONSAULT SENTONS a potential threat to their wellbeing.

but work is work. he almost feels guilty for having to stop the aerial party the hawlucha are having. with a single pokeball in his hand, he joins the others and attempts to lob it at any one of them.

Okay, if this wasn’t a disturbance of the public peace, then Lars didn’t know what else was.

Once he’d arrived on Air Metagross, he then slid off the shiny Metagross’s back and saw that there was a…literal…clump of Hawlucha engaging in some silly derring-do, diving off the top of the tower in an attempt to impress and depress one another.

Seriously, what the hell is up with that?! He thought crossly, his eyebrows meeting in the middle out of sheer concern as he saw one of the Hawlucha do a particular move—it resembled something like a 619, done by someone who wrestled all in the name of Lucha Libre. Man, the hitstun for that shit was going to hurt if they landed all wrong.

Well, they do have masks… are they forbidden to take it off? He continued in the back of his mind as he withdrew a vacant Pokéball and took aim at the next one who was attempting something that reminded him of a Tombstone Piledriver.

Seriously? In this day and age?

Cap had to hand it to them: they were impressive to watch. Although he knew they needed to be cleared out, he'd set up to take in the spectacle for just a little while longer. They would clamor up to the launching point, strike a pose, and then plummet to the ground to the delight of their peers. The longer he watched, the more Cap came to realize that each one had its own signature move. This one would flutter its wings on the way down, slowing its fall until the right moment and then turning its body into a missile. That one dropped face-first, screaming through the air until the last possible moment and then flaring its wings to land more-or-less safely. Still another dove from the top, one arm clamped to its side and the other flared out like some kind of One Winged Angel, using the angle of its feathers to spiral almost out of control. Cap was on the edge of his seat as it dove, sure that it would hit the ground in a tragic clump of feathers. But no! It spread its wings with incredible strength and smashed into the landing feet-first before tucking and rolling away the rest of the momentum. Cap couldn't help it, he started clapping. The flock perked up, clearly not amused by the round of applause, and he tossed a ball at the angel before they deigned to depart.

[attr="class","witness"]Imagine Asher's surprise when he looked outside his window with a date an saw hawlucha's falling from the sky. Now, admittedly, they were busting some pretty sick moves. From powerslams to brainbusters! Asher wasn't terribly interested until he saw the damage that was being done to the city.

"I'm sorry, I have to go clean up a mess."

After bidding his date a farewell, with mild annoyance, he made his way out to where the trainers had gathered, throwing pokeballs like lunatics, aiming for a very specific hawlucha.

Why not, right? So he threw a luxury ball at the darker of the hawluchas, in hopes.

They moved unlike typical birds, the Fighting-Flying-Type Hawlucha were moving with more "Grace" or at least that's how Ivar viewed it.

Perhaps it was merely his obsession with Fighting-Types and those whom used Fighting-Type moves that made him believe the colorful fighters were superior to typical Flying-Types. Regardless the muscular fellow moved around with his Hakamo-o beside him, prepared to battle as well as capture himself a Hawlucha if possible.

If possible....

And then he saw his opportunity as one of the birds took "flight", honing in, locking in on one singular Hawlucha as it launched itself from the from the launch mount nearby. The Hawlucha almost looked as if it were preforming a Shooting Star Press, a sort of forward back flip aerial maneuver made famous by professional wrestlers and the like.

Hakamo-o use Automitize, lighten your load and hit em' with Close Combat when they land!

Nodding without hesitating Hakamo-o would proceed to snatch away some of it's looser scales, lightening it's weight while increasing it's speed in the process. From there it would wait until the exact moment the Hawlucha landed, the best time to strike. Lurching forward in a blitzing fashion the Dragon-Steel-Type would begin to unload a barrage of punches, thrown at incredible speed. Catching the Hawlucha off guard and sending it reeling Hakamo-o would then stand firmly, waiting it's next order as Ivar himself snatched up a Poke Ball and lobbed it after the weakened Hawlucha in an attempt to capture it, but was he going to be lucky?!.....

When Oscar saw the colony of Hawlucha just standing out here in the open, there was no way he could pass them up. After all, the fetched a high price on the black market. The reward was well worth the effort of trying to catch one. The group seemed to be pretty distracted by their own antics, or the antics of other trainers, so it was easy to catch one unawares.

Oscar threw a pebble at once such Hawlucha, and as it turned around it was met by Oscar's Blaziken Grievous leaping forward to catch its leg between his legs. With a fluid motion, he twisted his might thighs to perform a hurricanrana, flipping the hawlucha into the air. Oscar watched as it slammed into the ground, and before it could get up to retaliate the poacher threw a pokeball at its masked face.

Valerio—disguised as Jonathan—would not be surprised with the bunch of hawluchas bringing chaos into the Mossdeep Space Center with their masked. It was no surprise the scientists of the city were afraid of the potential ruckus this wrestling party would bring into their laboratory. He swore one of those creatures already BATISTA BOMBED a passing civilian and it was enough for Jonathan, although he would laugh at it first, to help them fend of these pesky bird creatures.

“Taunt it, Moe. You can do it!” The chimchar attempted to draw in one of those hawluchas as he waited for his trainer to take care of the rest.

As the swarm of Hawlucha's had suddenly taken over the space center, Rosalyn stared in awe at just how many of them there truly was. She had never seen a sight so busy and she wondered why they were even there. Had there been an alluring scent that had caused the creatures to flock here of all places? She watched as other humans attempted to catch them or fight them off, to bring some law back to the chaos. "Lit!" she heard Litwick and she nodded. "Right! You're a good match against them, being ghost!" She knew that fighting would have a rough time again any of her ghost Pokemon, though the flying side of their typing made her a little nervous.[break][break]

She got her Pokeballs ready and told Litwik to go ahead and start throwing out some Shadow Balls at targets that she could hit without anyone getting in the way. She stood there in awe for a moment as she watched them fighting with one another, some of them doing moves that looked like flying neckbreakers and she winced, but she knew that they would all be fine, or at least she hoped they would be. Shaking her head and getting back to business, she started throwing out her own Pokeballs to add to the fray.[break][break]

late to the party but here nonetheless.


On the very night of his escape to the Hoenn Mainland, Mason found himself awestruck by a certain spectacle. A swarm of Hawlucha, all showing off their acrobatic prowess, on his boring, no-name island!? He couldn't believe it. From his own bedroom window, he gawked as a small group of trainers began to catcher and attempt to stop their roughhousing. "Wouldja look at that, Goose...Must be a sign. Let's get outta here!"

Grabbing his space camp knapsack, Mason and his ever-faithful gible crept down the stairs and out the front door, whilst his mother napped peacefully in her room. Mason knew his own dad would probably be at the space center, protecting it from the pokemon, but he had a feeling that parent wouldn't have a problem with this. Once out the door, the duo sprinted over to the commotion.

"Alright, Goose! You know what to do! Use Take Down- Flying Clothesline style!!" Goose launched himself forward, stubby arms outstretched, looking to do some damage. Whether or not the attack hit any Hawlucha, Mason couldn't wait. He launched a pokeball straight at one of the incoming luchador-look-alikes.

it wasn't everyday that one got to witness a wrestling match between two lucha libre birds as they flew at one another trying to pin the other to the ground. it really was a fun show to watch and kaz was feeling guilty that he needed to stop it before they decided to go out of the ring and into some poor sap's camp and cause trouble. lucky for him pro wrestling was sort of a hobby for him so fending one of these things off is gonna be one hell of a squash match. so he might as well get into the spirit of it.

"ok you bozo beak heads its time for ya to go down at the hand of me! incinemask! so get ready for a world of slamming and hurt!" once his promo was over he ran over to the group of hawlucha who looked like they would take his challenge and charged at him as well. perhaps in the middle of all of this he would catch one for his own, he always wanted a hawlucha and had been mulling over the perfect name for it, because if he did catch one then its name will be JOHN CENA. yeah, that was a cool name.

One after another it proved taxing on the gathered trainers to sort out the problem simply by trying to subjugate the Hawlucha within their pokeballs. After they were deftly evaded or returned to sender, many proved ineffective at finding their mark, and the Hawlucha were wont to taunt their would-be showstopper. Rrgh, how annoying...

Adrian plucked a pokeball from a loose belt, tapping a digit against its module before unleashing his Corviknight in a brilliant red luminescence. "Reign, bring them down."

The undeniably larger avian species took wing, gliding through the air and towards some of the now diving Hawlucha, which attempted to tackle and overturn the Corviknight's ascent. And yet for all their daring, they had not the strength, instead finding themselves stopped dead against the iron span of its wins, Reign's wings folding around them as it tilted backwards, beginning a reverse dive down with two Hawlucha in their respective choke holds before Reign drove them into the ground.

After recovering from the double choke slam, Reign found its footing, standing over the two felled Hawlucha. As one tried to rise to the ground in a futile struggle, Reign leveraged its weight against it once more, raising a leg high enough to brace it against the Hawlucha's chest, slamming it back down against the dirt with a showstopper.

And with that, Adrian was able to prime an unused pokeball and attempt a capture, or at the very least have some level of impact on the Hawlucha's reckless antics before they damage something.

Everyone seemed to be STONE-COLD STUNNED to see the little gang of daredevils using the rocket tower for such purposes. Remiel, however, wasn't very surprised at all. The Hawlucha in Galar liked to ascend the towering spires and castle walls of Hammerlocke, too. They quite enjoyed shocking tourists when the seasonal winds came through, pulling off daring maneuvers and stunts that could make an old woman faint.

Back home, they were treated as entertainment or ignored. But here they were nothing more than a nuisance, interrupting the flow of activity at the space station. Remiel understood why they had asked League trainers to come and disperse them. And, when he drew out an empty luxury ball and cast it at one of the Hawlucha, he had done so with the determination to help them resume business as usual and bring order back.
