MY BRAVIARY IS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO CARRY EVERY ONE OF YOUR POKEMON." the braviary caws. it alights too and withdraws its wings. "HAVE IT FAIL ON THREE, LET IT CARRY ONE, AND STRIKE MY BRAVIARY WITHOUT HURTING THE POKEMON IT'S CARRYING!"[break][break]

even with the briefest rest, the braviary is able to soar into the sky. the girl's grin glows below the bird's shadow. "EASY ENOUGH, RIGHT?"[break][break][break]

[attr="class","devonpost"]the atmosphere in the room does not improve but he makes no efforts himself. the next floor presents their next challenge and he is the first to speak up because unlike the other rooms, this one requires actual teamwork.

"find something heavy that knows thunder."

alexander waits until the others call out their choices and watches as the braviary fails to pick them up. he is the last to go because he is their sacrificial mareep.

perhaps the lack of hesitation in the way alexander calls out his diggersby only for him to get swooped up by the braviary is telling. but he chooses to take the initiative and sacrifice because he knows his pokemon have been through worse. he's put his pokemon through worse.

"you'll be fine."

and sir diggersby knows it. the ground-type puts his trust in his trainer as he's lifted up into the air. the sharp talons of the braviary digs into his skin but he braces through the pain and prepares himself for the attacks to come. alexander motions for the party to proceed.

"go ahead."

The next floor proves to be a tongue twister challenge. She hesitates at the sight of the Braviary, and her gaze instinctively falls to Illeana. She had heard about the woman's incident during the contest - and instinct encourages her to take the hit for the woman. Despite whatever discomfort and angst she feels in the present moment, she's not heartless enough to put her best friend through something like this again.[break][break]

But she doesn't get the chance to sacrifice herself - Alexander does it for her. He instructs the rest to find Pokemon heavy and able to use THUNDER, so she complies. She pauses on her choice only because she's trying to think of her heaviest Pokemon.[break][break]

She ultimately settles on her Dragonite. The Pokemon is far too heavy for the Braviary to lift, and, when it finally comes back around to the Diggersby to lift it into the sky, she commands a THUNDER from her Pokemon.[break][break]

"You won't hurt the Diggersby, don't worry."[break][break]

Dragonite nods before channeling energy to blast the bird.

[attr="class","witness"]Francie's no idea that this would in any way be this hard, nor does she really even understand that there's something deeper in the room. The tension does feel a bit lighter, but that comes with time. And only time will be able to heal the wound that has been created. Time, and maybe even, distance.

Francie hates wounds like these.

But she's no time to worry or fret. Alex is taking the initiative this time and Francie falls in line with the others. She withdraws her probopass from the rotomi and grins as she releases her. She and Prima had come a long way from the rock blast that nearly took off Francie's head.

While she waits for the braviary to attempt and pick up her probopass, which was hysterical and Prima made a noise like mocking laughter when it tried, Francie eagerly awaits for her moment. Once she finds it, she's throwing her hand and giving her command.

"Prima, thunder!"

Prima doesn't show concern for the rabbit because she's aware, like Francie, that the rabbit's type immunizes the thunder. So she strikes the bird, using THUNDER as instructed and giving off a happy sort of grind when she does it.

Francie's probably the only one who notices the grind as a happy noise... oh well.

[attr="class","illie i"]the next floor provides a dilemma for her. faced with memories she'd prefer to never experience again. the move is too familiar and she's frozen in place for a moment. flashes of a furret dropping from too high of a height to survive, talons throwing the body down to the ground. sky drop is something she would never want to see again.

her movements are sluggish, preoccupied, as she shifts over to the rotomi and ushers out her next pokemon. the dragonite that joins her side is grumpy, arms already crossed firmly over his chest the moment he's released from a pokeball. perhaps too protective, he can taste the tension in the room. and while it's not as bad as it was earlier, he's still not happy in the slightest. the narrow gaze he offers toward the rest of the group is telling enough.

she has to look away when sir diggersby is scooped up in sky drop, has to force herself to turn away and stare at the wall behind them. her body has begun trembling by now, overcome with emotions she can't fully handle. the coldness she's been forcing up until now is now melting away into fear. she can't bring herself to utter a command, not now. instead, the dragonite will take matters into his own hands and follow stormy's into battle.

eripio's own THUNDER joins the rest in the endeavor of striking down the sky dropping pokemon. and only when sir diggersby is returned safely to the ground does she turn and book it toward the staircase.

[attr="class","witness"]Francie's head spun as they entered the room, but she was quick to understand, and she withdrew her excadrill. He could clear the spikes and avoid their poisoning, since the corrosive ability of the salazzle wouldn't work through the toxic spikes that came out of the ground.

"I can help in getting rid of the spikes."

When it was all settled between them, she released her excadrill along with every else's pokemon.

"Rapid spin!"

Quickly the excadrill followed suit, sure to stay out of the way of the next attacks.

Francie really hoped their strategy would work...

[attr="class","illie i"]a new challenge presents itself and she's sent into mild confusion. her mind is attempting to work through the equation to provide a simple solution. and yet, it might not be as simple as she'd hope.

she's quick to shift to the rotomi, swapping out her dragonite for a loaned baltoy. and only when the clay creature is at her side does she step up to the plate. taking a place beside francie, she's ushering the baltoy out into the floor. the LEVITATE ability allows it to pass over the spikes without leaving poisoned.

"rapid spin," she murmurs. and while she isn't the clay creature's original owner, it still follows her command. joining francie's pokemon, the combined efforts of RAPID SPIN are enough to clear away the spikes that litter the ground.

the rest will rest upon stormy and alex.

[attr="class","devonpost"]a quick trip to the rotomi finds the solution for the next challenge and the salazzle that appears comes from the same millennial who owns mister pancham. what a saviour they're turning out to be. because the salazzle is not alexander's pokemon, he has to give it an order.

"TOXIC."

purple ooze drips across the wooden floors. the posion-type's CORROSION will ensure the effect seeps through.

It takes Stormy a hot minute to figure out what the objective of this challenge was. There were many variables, a CORROSIVE Salazzle to deal with, and a room full of TOXIC SPIKES.[break][break]

Ultimately, it's the efforts of her team that help put the pieces together. She watches a Baltoy and Excadrill clear the room of the spikes, the poison never harming them either due to their typing or their abilities. Nice.[break][break]

Alexander handles the poisoning - and Stormy lends herself to his aid. She retrieves her own Salazzle to apply a second dose of TOXIC to the enemy Salazzle. She only hoped the right Salazzle's would return to their right owners - they all looked the same.

It's actually exhilarating, the next climb up the steps. Their teamwork is impeccable despite the angst within their ranks. [break][break]

Before them stands a Gengar, looking creepy and intense and -- he's about to sing. [break][break]

Stormy rummages the rotomi in search of her Zebstrika, releasing the horse onto the field. With every step of her hooves she sends sparks up her black skin. [break][break]

"Ion deluge, please. Get ready, everyone - send something out that'll absorb lightning attacks."[break][break]

Because as soon as the PERISH SONG turns into an ELECTRIC-TYPE move, Zebstrika's LIGHTNING ROD ability absorbs the attack instead of damaging her. It looks like the Gengar's attempt had been effectively electric decapitated.[break][break]

Success.

[attr="class","illie i"]higher and higher they climb and she's starting to fully melt into the challenges now. once stormy swaps her pokemon, she's quick to step up to bat next. the loaned baltoy is swapped out for a more familiar pokemon. one of her many eeveelutions joins with a soft shake of spiky fur.

and while normally she'd fawn over both her jolteon and the gengar before them, there's more pressing matters. like, oh i don't know... a goddamn perish song? who knew a gengar could sing so well?

of course, it ends up not appealing to the audience as stormy's ion deluge shifts the typing in their favor. when her jolteon steps forward, his VOLT ABSORB does what its namesake intends and makes quick work in taking in the electric currents that skitter along the floor.

[attr="class","witness"]Francie quickly catches on and grins at Stormy's proposal, immediately going to the rotomi and switching out to a new addition she'd thought she'd never use.

The pachirisu emerges in confusion, but the electric moves around it are absorbed due to it's volt absorb ability. It also happened to get a stat boost because of it, causing the little squirrel to give a huff and a puff like he was big business and they'd best WATCH OUT.

[attr="class","devonpost"]another pitstop at the rotomi finds a cute little pikachu that belongs to a particular head scientist. he calls out the electric-type and watches as pikachu's LIGHTNING ROD absorbs the now electric-type PERISH SONG.

alexander just hopes the gengar isn't too sad about its song. it sounded lovely!
