Island Hopping

ft. Yuina Higashi

At her words, he narrowed his eyes at her, lips pursing childishly.

"Ha. Ha."

Then, he unceremoniously picked her up and raised her over his head before sprinting towards the water, leaping inside with a loud splash.

He burst out of the water a moment later, smirking the moment he saw her.

"Now we're both having fun."

"Oup!" He wheezes gently, getting the life squeezed out of him.

He grins nonetheless, wrapping an arm around her as well.

"No need for that; just doin' a friend a favor."

This was what made becoming a doctor worth it. Helping those in need— and specially those close to you.

One Last Hope

Ft. Aubre McKenna-Settentrione

"Three years, huh?" He said, smiling wryly. "Guessing the news ain't something you concern yerself with much?"

Well, that was fine. It'd make for a funnier reaction, he supposed.

"Can't imagine she'd just have that big dragon layin' around." He chuckles, shaking his head. "Well, I'm sure yer already guessin' were this is going. So, without further ado."

Casually, he slid his knife through his palm, cleaving a terrifying gash through flesh and muscle, blood beginning to flow.

Beginning, yes— but stopping just short of actually getting out of his system.

Then, it slowly began to seal up, a neon magenta glow briefly flashing from within the man's own hand before the wound completely disappeared.

"I, too, am an avatar. And my powers are focused around healing." He said, before pausing.

"Don't get it twisted, though. I am qualified as a physician and surgeon as well."

TL;DR: Nice to meet you, Ms. McKenna.

BATTLE OF PETALBURG

A lot of people come dangerously near, drawn for whatever reason to the titan's peak. But its power is shattered before most even make it to the top.

But that didn't matter.

The world took on a shade of pink, and almost immediately a coo came from Tapu Lele's lips.

Pressure fell upon those who had made the perilous climb like a crashing waterfall, slowing down everything to a crawl.

The myriad of faceless dolls had made the mistake of approaching a dangerous berserker, and now all stood within the threshold of its domain. Scales seemed to generate freely within the terrain.

The effects of being touched by them would be much worse than the raw kinetic force from before.

---

There was a misery that rose over most others on the battlefield.

howard slayte's mind was beginning to unravel, but perhaps that was a price well worth paying, if he achieved his goal?

So what would happen if he didn't?

With a curious, entertained tilt of the head, Tapu Lele's eyes flashed, a psychic grip attempting to seize howard slayte and the statue in his grasp in place and just shy away from the crevice.

TL;DR:
-A super-charged Avatar terrain comes from Doug, severely slowing down the speed of everyone inside except for Tapu Lele. it feels as if wading through water.
-supercharged scales are generated within this terrain. Their DoT effect is terrific and may show in the form of (Temporary(or not)) cancerous growths.
-Tapu Lele is amused by Howard's unraveling mind and tries to see if she can find ways to make it unravel harder.
-Tapu Lele uses Psychic (boosted by Psychic terrain) on Howard and his statue, trying to hold them both in place and just shy of Howard's goal.

BATTLE OF PETALBURG

The battlefield was already a symphony of misery— but it could be worse.

It could always get much, much worse.

He senses it, the corruption, from the moment it enters the energy pool— but he does not know what it is. What to do with it.

Not an hour had passed since the new boon had been released— and much like the boons before it, he had little to no real control over it.

His body just did what came naturally— and what came naturally was an unending hunger, a bottomless greed. It took, and took, and took. Consumed, consumed, consumed it all.

Every single grudge, down the hatch.

The whole world seemed to fade away.

---

Tapu Lele didn't quite fall in with her sister, but she didn't oppose her either, working with her to create a parting in the flowing water for her toy.

She simply hung around her, her expression a blank, neutral mask that Tapu Fini would recognize as... distaste.

For centuries, war zones had been feeding grounds for the pink deity. In time's past, she would fly through battlefields raining down her healing scales upon the miserable men down below, restoring them to their full health, saving life and limb... that they may continue to inflict misery and death upon one another for a bit longer.

This battlefield, too, was to be a banquet.

It was supposed to be.

Tapu Fini, however, would recognize her sibling's expression as Lele's equivalent to finding a hair in one's plate.

Tapu Lele felt a stench in the air— as if a strong, pungent spice had been accidentally spilled all over her meal.

Cyan and Magenta slowly drifted over to Elisabeth Fiorelli, boring into the woman as if seeing right through her.

A disgusting, ruinous stench was pouring out her sister's toy—

And into hers.

---

His body glowed. Truly and blindingly, the shades and hues rising through a swift spectrum of purples, magentas and pinks, before reaching a blinding white.

Overflowing energy arced through the air with audible crackles and snaps as the rain of scales accelerated violently into a storm, tiny scales being phased out entirely for massive single chunks that tore through the air like debris.

The features of people around him began to meld together— he could scarcely tell any one person from the other.

Manekin after manekin attempted to ascend the moving mountain beneath him, growing closer, shouting words that he couldn't quite parse and assaulting his overflowing vessel with even more emotion.

Fucking— fucking—!!!

SHUT UP!!!

Massive chunks of scales launched towards those ascending the rock colossus, descending upon the streets below violently.

TL;DR:
-Doug does not know how to control his new powers. He continues to absorb the weird grudges without end.
-Tapu Lele's war banquet is ruined after she finds a disgusting slug on her plate.
-Tapu lele uses psychic to prevent Doug from getting swept by Fini's surf, otherwise does not interfere with her sister.
-Tapu Lele is looking intently at Elisabeth Fiorelli.
-Doug's vessel is overflowing and he suddenly finds himself feeling very aggressive for some reason...
-He vents his aggression on everything down below, raining down big fat chunky scales on everyone nearby.

"Alrighty. Right behind ya~." He said, eyes very conspicuously behind her as they drifted towards another part of the beach.

Perhaps greater treasures awaited them in these newfound reef.

Perhaps because he dipped beneath the water alongside her, when they emerged, they were both holding onto a Clamperl of their own. He gave her a wide grin, throwing an arm around her waist.

"Twinsies again." He hummed.

MANTINE SURFING

It is what it is.

He knew that he was almost certainly playing into his girlfriend's hands by sticking to the Magikarp splash even more stubbornly, but to be fair—

That had been the plan from start anyway.

"Watch me catch up in the blink of an eye! He declared boastfully as he and his Mantine went for the tallest wave they had seen yet.

Clearly, the problem until now was that they hadn't gotten enough air-time to perform the required amount of spins. This time, they would go BEYOND the Magikarp splash!!!

MAGIKARP SPLAAASH!

TL;DR:

BATTLE OF PETALBURG

There went something he had never seen before— A pokemon his scales couldn't heal. How strange!

"Woah!" He boomed in shock, tapping his knuckles against the unyielding stone surface that was Regirock's body. "Built different, are ya?"

This was a pickle and a half! He had healed plenty of rock type pokemon before, but it seemed like Regirock was different from the rest... obviously. The titans were legends for a reason, he supposed.

Still, he was nothing if not stubborn, specially in that moment. Maybe if he just felt around and tried getting used to—

His head twisted nearly backwards towards Kouji Matsubara, his neck seemingly lacking vertebrae as the Oni-mask face glared down at the man taunting from below.

"W̶͇͋̃h̴̤́ȃ̷̟t̷̜͇͋ ̴̛͔̏d̵̰̭̏͠i̸̤̋d̶̢̩̈́̓ ̶̼̭͗̋ẏ̴̛̞o̴̟͎̎u̸̧͓̽̓ ̸̻̎̉s̷̳̓a̷̝͑y̴̛̯̬.̷̞͑́" He said darkly, staring down at the man as his eyes began to gleam like cyan, almost peering into the other's soul as he seemingly prepared to launch down— before snapping back to its regular pitch black. "Huh? No, ya ain't."

He scoffed, seemingly having just decided the other young man was lying somehow—

"huh?" He utters, the platform of scales beneath him lunging up to form a brief barrier before him, blocking at the dragon pulse coming at him— before zooming ever higher as a very determined Lucario came flying by at high speed. "WOAH, where did ya come from, Fido—?"

As ever, a Tapu came to ruin his day. For a change of pace, however— this one was not pink.

"Augh!" He released a cry as Nature's Madness smashed into him from behind, dissipating the platform of scales beneth him and sending him hurtling unto Regirock's head, his chest slapping atop it with a crunch.

Snaps and pops came in short order as he rolled onto his back with a spirited snort, his chest briefly BULGING up like a Popeye's as he took in a deep breath, inflating himself before snapping back up to his feet.

"Of course, you know." He huffed, lips jerking to and fro unnaturally as he put his hands at his hips. "This means war."

He paused, scratching at his cheeks.

"well—" He said, pupils becoming little more than gleaming pink dots. "That's just me. Let's see what she thinks."

There was a perhaps familiar sensation in the air around Tapu Fini, a sort of unheard 'pop' that signaled her bestest sister in the world's arrival.

Said arrival was heralded by a sudden force from above as Tapu Fini's clam-like shell was suddenly forced shut by a pink blur, the culprit moon-saulting over and under her favorite sister, spinning her semi-round form in place one, two, three times before pulling away with unhindered giggles, her amusement echoing through the air space around Regirock as she came to hover over her lil' avatar.

Tapu Lele had come to the scene— laughing and pointing at her sister the whole time.

Just loving busting of the sibling chops, of course...

Meanwhile, Doug's attention was drawn to the battlefield around him once again, seemingly incapable of focusing on anything for longer than a minute.

He couldn't see much of anything through the curtain of sand— but he was standing on a battlefield.

Fear, anger, hatred, sadism, agony, sorrow. All manners of dark emotion and human suffering floated in the air like a toxic miasma— it both welled up within him what felt like unending strength, and made his heart shudder behind his ribcage.

Unending scales surged around him like an open faucet, spreading out over the city by way of the storm's currents, the young avatar remaining otherwise still atop Regirock as if entranced by the requiem of misery that had become the battlefield.

He suddenly bumped shoulders with Yuina, holding up his shiny red rock next to hers and pressing them together. "Oh hey, twinsies." He said with a grin, before leaning over to peck her cheek.

Just one mega stone short of a double twinsies now.

"All I found was trash this round, though." He said as he chucked a cd back into the pier with an eye roll. "I should just attach myself at your hip; your luck's been way better."

He could think at least a dozen more reasons to stay upclose with the cadet, too.

MANTINE SURFING

It is what it is.

He had taken a short break from faceplanting on the ocean floor to get some piñas coladas from the beach shack nearby. As he approached his girlfriend near the waves, riding atop his mantine, he held out one of the drinks.

"How's that tally lookin'?" He asked casually, hopping from his mantine to hers and taking a seat besides her, head propped lazily against her shoulder. "Shit, you're already at 5000?"

Oh, he would try the magikarp splash again in a bit. It would not escape him this time... Surely.

BATTLE OF PETALBURG

[player]https://file.garden/ZeX_8xo9KEiz9dtz/Doug%20image%20repository/mp3%20files/Green_Veteran.mp3[/player]

A human silhouette flew through the sandstorm, droplets of pink raining down upon those beneath.

To some, a healing blessing; to invaders, a cancerous curse.

"Where are'cha, ya ninnies?" An odd looking Doug pondered out loud while propped over the edge of the giant, pink scale carrying him about, his wide grin at odds with the carnage and devastation that could scarcely be parsed through the sandstorm. "I know you're here somewhere! Come on!"

He breathed in, reeling back with a broad smile.

COME ON! I'M RIGHT OVER HERE, YOU SILLY GOOSES!

His voice boomed like a war drum, rising over the chaos of the sandstorm as he leaned just over the edge of his scale and held a hand flat over his brow, tongue sticking out the side as he looked around like a top man on his crow nest.

"Where's everyone gone to? I just wanna play a game! It's an easy one, I'm sure you've all played before— 20 questions!" He said brightly as he continued rambling to himself, his voice somehow carrying through the sands as he turned to face an unseen viewer, winking as he held up a hand, finger pointed up. "Here, let me start ya with an easy one. Question number 1—"

His face twisted into a caricature of a snarl as snapped back into a full C, hair touching against the scale platform beneath him as his very skull began to twist and bulge, his head seemingly growing in size as he snapped back up sharply.

WHO THE F̵̮̠̀͠U̸̧͔̼̘̯̟̘͋̏̑̽̂C̸̠̰̯̞̭̻̹͑̊̔ͅK̶̢̧͈͉̝̼̥̙͉̆͌͛̍̎͛͋͆ TOUCHED M̷̞̩̙̳̻̬̥͔̙̕Y̶̙̪̻͋̽̀̊ ̴̻̲̬͐̑̇ HOSPITAL!!!

It rang louder than any of his words prior, reaching far like thunder as his face continued to morph, closer to a cartoonish depiction of an oni mask than a human's.

AND ANOTHER THIN—

The words cut off suddenly as his head snapped to the side, swiveling at a near 135 degree angle. Something shiny and blinky had found its way into his peripheral vision.

7 Dots hung over the horizon, unmasked by the sandstorm as thunderous drums drowned out the conflict going on down below.

"Ooooh." He coo'd, his scale platform immediately switching routes, bee-lining it towards the giant dots as the drumming continued to come.

This was familiar to him... he had seen those dots... right? The sound, too, he had...

Ah, who cares! Just get closer!

He was almost there when another set of dots shone through the sandstorm. Almost immediately, his attention snapped towards it, the platform beneath him beginning to switch routes once again.

But then it blasted the first pair of nice, familiar dots with massive shiny floating fists.

"Haaaah?!" He yelped, his jaw unhinging as he held his head.

What the hell was that for!?

Once again, the platform switched routes, now back to the nice, non-punchy dots, speeding up as it began to fly around it, raining down healing scales upon it.

"You're good! You're good! Don't worry! We'll get you back in good shape in no time, Dr. Doug's on the case!"

Grabbing Yuina's hand as she slid off Daikenki, he grinned cheshirously before dipping into the water after her, swimming close.

His hand moved to grab hers, flashing Yuina cheeky grin before leaning closer to nip at her lip under the cover of the ocean.

He may have stepped on something while doing that, but he wasn't really paying any attention.

He was preoccupied.
