The straight line was indeed an easy part of the track, but soon Zachary saw it coming-- the big U-Turn coming along the end of the track that would go to another part. The ramp there at the higher end kept people from flying without loosing too much momentum, but it was a tight turn! Hermes kept going fast, intending to keep the lead as he now was ahead of both the Raichu, the Houndoom and the others! [break][break] "Hermes -- careful of that tight turn up ahead!" Zachary said, pointing to the sharp, ramp-like turn. [break][break] Hermes saw the curved 'half pipe' up ahead, used to keep people on track! [break][break] However... it was then that Hermes grew a grin. That same grin of a Nasty Plot brewing in that road-rage rodent's head! Instead of entering to slow into the turn-- Hermes sped up! , leaning to the edge and then into the turn to grow in momentum. [break][break] Zachary's eyes widened, unaware of what this Raichu was up to! "Hermes...? " Zachary said, nervously, and soon saw the ramp. "Wait you're not thinking-- HERMES NOOOOOO!!" [break][break] Hermes picked up speed with a kick of Psychic and flew up into the ramp's far end, and went right into the air!![break][break] A cry of fright came from Zachary as his feet practically left the surface of Hermes tail! Despite it, holding the mouse's back-- the psychic aura still held him connected to Hermes. All the while, Hermes 'caught some major air and entered a daring spin! The psychic Raichu lifted his tail with his paw, did a full 360-degree spin and held his tail out in a wicked pose, while up in the air. As gravity soon took hold, he soon returned to his tail-- and using his Psychic control, Zachary back down with him. The two returned to the board the moment the tail-board hit the ramp-- and Woosh![break][break] Hermes little aerial stunt leveraged the physical ramp with his psychic power-- and using the flip just to show off. The force of gravity giving him a kick of speed just to get a lovely kick-start to that new part of the track! [break][break] The stunt-flips clearly a boost to Hermes' ego. [break][break]

[break][break] "And an amazing air-method, 360 power invert spin! That's a solid A-rank stunt right there!" an announcer in the bleachers shouted. [break][break] Seeing it, and hearing the announcement, Dizzy and the others looked at eachother-- clueless to what the announcer just said. The race had become some kind of trick performance? [break][break]

[break][break] Zachary looked fried from shock as he stood there, his heart racing from the near throw off of Raichu's tail. All the while, Raichu smiled gleefully as he sped forward. [break][break] Zachary soon grew an angry glare at Hermes. "HERMEEEESSS...WARN ME BEFORE YOU DO THAT!" Zachary shouted, almost having a heart attack to go flying off the ramp. [break][break] Raichu glanced at Zachary, a little surprised by his reaction, but soon just laughed-- seeing Zachary's surprised face. [break][break] While still obeying Zachary and listening-- Hermes did enjoy entertaining his own ego with tricks and stunts like that! It would make things either more challenging-- or more difficult for this race. [break][break]

What happened was unexpected. Pyroar did in fact meet resistance with the Reflect wall. Happy was proud of that. Josh's attitude had changed back, now being a bit more eager to battle. Now this was a real match! Zachary was now into it more as was happy, able to back up the trainer's wishes. [break][break] However, what happened next was indeed concerning. It was Pyroar's next attack. A move called "Bounce! Zachary had never even heard of it before-- but soon saw as Pyroar took with a massive leap and went high into the air! It was intending to dive bomb right after Happy, defenses and all. Even with a strong defense, it looked nasty! As Pyroar was about to descend-- it was time and Zachary knew just what to do. [break][break] "What makes the fool the greatest card in the Tarot? Is that they can become anything! Happy, use MIMIC!" [break][break] Happy gave a cheer as it observed Pyroar's ascendance. An aura of light covered him briefly, adapting to the same power of the attack that Pyroar just used. [break][break] Once the aura finished, Happy began to jump. It looked like a bouncing ball, his little arms trying to 'flap' as if to fly. His very body stretched with his hops, ascending higher-- and higher...[break][break] Then-- with a burst of energy, Happy too took off flying skyward as Pyroar began to descend! [break][break] As Happy went up, Pyroar went down, meeting nothing in its place by the wall and nothing behind it! [break][break] Happy was high in the sky, almost gleeful as he soon began to descend once more-- little an adorable comet or cannonball, to hit the big red pyro cat! [break][break]

Azelf was still in his thoughts. He felt useless here. Why had he not taken Rabsca when all this started? No... he had to focus on what he CAN DO. He was where he was suppose to, and help where he could. He knew that a rocket ameena abadi had tried to abduct one of the children of the aliens! He was grateful that Greyson Connors was able to stop her. They had enough problems going on and he was glad there were ethics among them-- even against the ones who attacked him. It didn't take a genius to figure out they were not the only captives-- the aliens too looked like they were under duress as well! [break][break] By then, Zachary saw as Happy prepared their defenses-- and in come the giant wardens! However, a moment of distraction took Zachary as he looked to the window-- and saw it. They were not in the mines of Area Zero-- but now were floating in space of all things?! [break][break] "Um... WHEN DID WE GET OUT INTO SPACE?!" Zachary shouted in shock. [break][break] I always wanted to go to space-- but not abducted and prodded by aliens! he thought to get the stress off his back, his imagination running wild again. However ever blackwell & Josh Devlin pulled his attention back as they fought against the Dynamaxed Warden Trio! All of them wore the same masks they had found from before, sporting far more deveistating power. Zachary joined with Josh Devlin , intending to help. Luckily he was healed by his pokemon's power. Sharing in its glow, Zachary felt the soothing power of his pokemon's Life Dew-- healing Zachary too. [break][break] He found it easier to breathe, the wounds in his chest and limbs fading a bit. Shaking his head back to the present, he only hoped to do his best for them all. The masks were a problem and the enemy was strong. [break][break] Happy had made their defense strong, but Zachary feared it wasn't enough. [break][break] "Happy, let's not leave anything to chance!" Zachary called out, "Use Light Screen and hurry!" [break][break] Among the scampering and larger Pokemon, the little Mime Jr. did his best to dodge and dance his way through the roudy Pokemon. Seeing the big versions of Pokemon around, the little mime felt so tiny-- but he didn't hesitate to follow his trainer's lead! With another hop into the air, Happy cast another glow from his hands-- creating a shimmering veil of colors! The aura mixed with the Reflect Wall, creating a sparkling ward. [break][break] They were now protected on all sides-- from physical and special attacks! Should the others fail to stop the trio from using a super strong attack, they had some margin of protection to keep going! [break][break] Hopefully they will end up better and not risk more poison. But once Happy had his defenses secured, they could join and actually help with the actual damage on the enemy! Zachary glared at the Okidogi and his pals-- owing them payback! [break][break]

Eduardo soon called out his own Pokemon-- A Pangoro and Swampert! Both looked formidable as Zachary took a stance of alertness, feeling as if he too was facing them along with his pokemon. The bear did a little ritual of Bulking up, growing stronger. The Swampert however, took more action! Before Zachary knew it, a furry of rocks and earth came hurtling through the air , all while the big bear charged forward to attack! [break][break] Despite the fright-- Zachary didn't lose his composure or determination. Even while the bear rushed to get close, neither he or his pokemon would have it. "Happy, use REFLECT!" he cried. [break][break] Happy bounced around with joyous glee as the incoming bear charged-- but wouldn't get far as Happy pushed his little hands forward and they glowed. Out of nowhere a barrier of light shot up between them! The Pangoro would hit smack right into it as if it was glass-- and discover he was not going to get by it. By a happy coincidence, it would protect against Rock Slide as well. The wall was far reaching across the battlefield, preventing harm to both pokemon. The rocks would meet the wall, it flashing as the rocks would fall from it and crumble. [break][break] From behind the wall-- Happy gave a cheerful cry and smile at the big panda as if to say 'hello'. [break][break] Zachary smiled. Happy was one of Zachary's best pokemon and lovable friends. He could always count on the Mime Jr's mischief to help them out. Meanwhile, the Xatu, Prophet barely flinched as he looked ahead with unblinking eyes. Despite battle, the bird wasn't even uneasy or anxious. [break][break] It was now Prophet's turn as Zachary directed his attention to the patient bird. "Okay Prophet, time to show them all what you're capable of! Use Miracle Eye!" [break][break] Xatu's eyes soon widened as it looked to the Pangoro. Zachary knew enough that Pangoro was a dark type-- and a dark type was the worst to contend with as a Psychic trainer. But he was never without options. Prophet, had Miracle Eye allowing him to zero in on Dark Types, normally impossible. His eyes glowed with an eeree glow, showing his mystism of his vision. While doing no damage to it, it made them reachable to psychic power. [break][break] Zachary was not a blind battler. He had a creative mind, and strategic thinking. He knew how to leverage abilities in the right way and combine attacks. While it may not play out as he always hoped, he had faith that Happy and Xatu would make a reliable team. [break][break] "Didn't see that coming, did you?" Zachary commented with a smirk. [break][break]

With the battle resumed-- Josh wasted no time. Commanding his Pyroar, he had the lioness enter a speedy dash, brushing through the field at break-neck speed to try and catch little Happy. [break][break] However, unlike Tarot, Zachary and Happy were in far better sync and better prepared for anything. "Now you will REALLY see what we are made of!" Zachary declared, "Happy! Reflect!" [break][break] The little Mime Jr made a gleeful hop through the air, and as he touched ground and spun-- he extended his tiny hands outward. Out before him, appeared a magical wall of transparent light! It flashed when it caught light, showing the transparent barrier of psychic power! [break][break] The Pyroar wouldn't be able to cross it as it was a solid wall, blocking the Trailblazing move! [break][break] Now behind his magical wall, Happy danced to his own tune as he was protected. Zachary smiled, seeing how cheerful the little pokemon was. With Reflect up, Josh's physical attacks would barely get through. [break][break] "I may not of had the best start-- but with Happy and my other pokemon, its a whole other story!" he said confidently. [break][break] Happy gave an agreeing cheer, intending to be a source of pride for his trainer. [break][break]

Dizzy didn't see it coming but the offer of a special poffin made the fox's ears go up and an expression of joy! Zachary's food usually was more generic while they traveled-- and missed the day when Zachary cooked . Their time on the road made that not possible, so it was lovely for the fox to get a taste of a Pokemon Poffin. Dizzy gave a grateful bark to the Pansear and gently took the half and nibbled it with gratitude to the little monkey. [break][break] As Wendy and Dizzy watched as Zachary climbed the tree, Hoothoot tilted its head, soon spying Zachary along the base of the tree. He got up enough and the owl hopped on its leg back a bit, nervous. [break][break] "It's okay! It's okay... Hi there. Sorry to startle you. You want a snack little birdie? " Zachary asked, as it took the granola bar and broke it into smaller pieces while still clinging to the branch. The owl cocked its head about as Zachary placed the crumbs on the broad branch. [break][break] It paused a moment, but soon hopped forward. After a moment, the bird lowered its beak and pecked at it. it began to eat the food, then ate it more with fervor, as if it had not eaten in a while. [break][break] Zachary smiled, glad he could make the little owl feel better. "Wow you must of been hungry. I'm glad I can help." Zachary said, smiling. The hoothoot became less on guard but--[break][break] "KREEEE!!" A shriek called through the air. Zachary looked as soon a black blur darted across his vision-- and rammed into the Hoothoot. The sheer appearance made Zachary loose his balance, falling from the tree! [break][break] Zachary tumbled down to the ground, alarmed as he looked up. Dizzy too looked alarmed, seeing the black blur. It soon stopped, as Hoothoot was also knocked to the ground, hurt by the attacker. [break][break] Flapping its wings, was a rather large black crow of a pokemon, with a crown of feathers unusually sinister. IT glared with sharp eyes at both the humans and pokemon there. [break][break] Zachary slowly recovered and got out his pokedex. [break][break]

" Honchkrow, the Big Boss Pokemon. A nocturnal bird, Honchkrow acts as a leader guiding its flock of birds. It commands complete obedience and orders several Murkrow and other birds to follow its orders, even to cruel means.

[break][break] The Honchkrow gave a deadly glare and cry at the Hoothoot, almost as if belittling the bird. The poor owl was on the ground, slowly getting up, to recover from the rude shot. The black bird then proceeded to eat the food greedily that Zachary had laid out for it. [break][break] "H-Hey! Stop that! That's not for you, you jerk!" Zachary shouted, getting up to his feet. [break][break] Also angered by the mean bird's attack, Dizzy shot up and took out his stick. Fire burned at its tip as he growled. [break][break] Zachary quickly got to where Hoothoot was, scooping up the poor owl to protect it. [break][break] The confrontation and lack of respect-- made the Honchkrow leer at them. With an angry cry-- the bird began to Persuit towards them! [break][break] Dizzy gave a bark and with it-- blew out a solid stream of fire, attempting to ward off the black crow! [break][break]

The overbearing presence of the big man made Zachary nervous. Luckily his jacket kept the chills low as he thought how he was going to respond to this. His request was a double battle of all things! Two pokemon, versus two pokemon. It was not something Zachary had done before in a formal battle so this was going to be a first for him. [break][break] Zachary nodded at the challenge, and gave it serious thought. He could tell by the Pawmot that he wasn't being included for the battle, but it showed that they were really thinking hard. Dizzy was patient as Zachary thought what to do. Zachary didn't want to be reckless either. Dizzy was his strongest, but he had to train his other Pokemon too. [break][break] Unsure who to choose, Zachary took out his Tarot cards once more. With a deep breath, he reached for the deck and drew out two cards.[break][break]

[break][break] From the deck-- Zachary pulled two cards. The first, was a good sign. It showed the cartoonish depicture of The Fool -- showing the adorable Mime Jr, aka Happy. Then he flipped the second behind it-- revealing it to be the Heirophant. That one, showed a regal and wise picture of a Xatu, Zachary's Prophet. [break][break] With the cards in hand, Zachary turned to Dizzy. "Diz, let's give Happy and Prophet a crack at this. Do you mind?" he asked. [break][break] The Delphox gave a mild droop of his ears , almost mimicking the Pawmot a bit, but soon shook his head-- not minding. The fox knew that his other friends needed a shot. [break][break] Zachary put away the cards and soon took out his Pokeballs, containing the Roman numerals 0 and V on them. [break][break] "I invoke the guidance of the Fool and wisdom of the Hierophant..." he spoke, his little ritual for luck as he took out their pokeballs-- and tossed them high into the air. "Come-- Happy! Prophet!" [break][break] The two balls burst out light and they took shape on the ground! Before Edwardo, appeared Zachary's choice. His Mime Jr, Happy and his Xatu, Prophet. Both Pokemon gave happy cheers as they emerged, Happy being more gleeful and Prophet being more out of awareness. [break][break] They didn't look it, but the two got along well. They were among the first Pokemon Zachary had befriended and grew close to. They were his most reliable partners and both were skilled in ways that were difficult to predict. [break][break] Zachary looked to Edwardo with confidence, wondering what he was gonna pick. "Ready when you are!" Zachary called. He then turned to his Pokemon. "Happy, Prophet-- this will be a double battle, so that means we have to work together, okay? Can I count on you?" [break][break] Happy spun around to Zachary and give a happy cheer of a yes. He turned to Prophet, and raised a hand for almost a 'high five'. However, while accepting, Xatu was an odd bird. The enigmatic psychic bird looked to Happy with a neutral but warm gaze back. [break][break] On paper, they looked like a very odd matchup for a double battle... but looks could be deceiving. [break][break]

Meowstic was still on guard, keeping his distance, but Happy was slowly working its cheerful magic to make the cat more at ease. The Mime Jr had the gift of spreading cheer-- more suitable with being helpful than battle. Slowly, the cat waddled out to meet the group of humans and Pokemon. "Mreow...?" it mewed, curious to them all. [break][break] Zachary felt bad how they just barged in. It was clear this house was home to some pokemon now. Zachary carefully approached the Meowstic, being mindful of his new friend Himari. It was nice she too made friends with Pokemon. "I'm very sorry to barge in unannounced. We kind of got caught in the storm outside. I know its asking a lot, but... could we stay here a while? Till the storm passes?" Zachary kindly asked. [break][break] The cat paused a moment-- then suddenly its ears perked up and expression lit up! "Mreeeoow!" it cheered. It was almost very enthused by the offer. Like a hotel employee who had not seen a guest in a while! THe friendly cat waddled closely to Zachary and reached out to take a hold of Zachary's sleeve to guide him. [break][break] "Wow... this Meowstic is a lot more friendly than I thought!" Zachary giggled as the cat practically welcomed them in now. [break][break] Dizzy gave a happy bark as he used his torch to light the way for the other pokemon-- at least till Meowstic saw it. Happiness turned to fright, and then anger as the cat glared at the flame and gave a cat-like hiss. The cat's ears up and the eyeball patterns glowed-- which caused the small flame on Dizzy's stick to suddenly go out. Dizzy looked puzzled, and hurt by it, as the Mewostic put out his little torch. The fox looked to the Meowstic, a touch peeved. [break][break] Zachary frowned and looked between them. "Um, Dizzy? I think Meowstic here doesn't want to have a fire risk? Maybe... just put the stick away for now please?" Zachary asked his partner. [break][break] With a reluctant grumble, the fox put his stick away into his fur. The Meowstic calmed down and smiled to Dizzy. [break][break] Looking around-- they all could tell. Much of the building showed signs of fire. Charred wood, blackened walls. This place had suffered some kind of disaster over the years. Perhaps the little cat was trying to preserve the house, and having another fire probably made the cat very upset. [break][break] But things got even more complicated-- as another wild pokemon appeared. This time, a Litwik! The little ghostly candle, hopped around, the flame alit on its head! It was clearly a wild one, who had gotten into the house and was hopping around all giddy, perhaps either willing to fight or just being a child running through the house. [break][break] Meowstic got agitated again, scolding the Litwik but it wouldn't listen. Soon, also came out a little Duoism. Another psychic type Zachary was able to identify too! "Oh wow, a Duoism too! Lucky me!" Zachary got out his pokedex and went to record the two. [break][break]

"Duosism, the mitosis pokemon. The evolved form of Solosis. This particular pokemon possesses two separate brains. When both brains are in agreement and sync, their psychic power doubles. " [break][break] "Litwick, the candle pokemon. The flame on top of its head burns when it has absorbed the life force of nearby people and pokemon. It often at times acts as a guide, but only to leech more life energy from its prey. "

[break][break] Zachary paused as he saw all this and stopped. While it was roudy, neither one seemed hostile at first glance. "They don't seem that dangerous..." Zachary said as he looked at the pokedex and then to HImari. [break][break] It was then that the Duosion spotted Zachary and gingerly floated over to him. Zachary smiled, seeing this one was very friendly as it approached. "Hi there. Nice to meet you. Think we can get to know one another?" Zachary asked. [break][break] The green Pokemon looked up to him, and then suddenly hopped up, embracing Zachary with a slimy hug. It smeared all over his jacket as the cell membrane of its body met him. [break][break] Zachary suppressed the urge to revolt at the sensation, but was grateful as he did wanted to meet and catch one. "Ahaha... wow it really is friendly. Easy there, haha... " Zachary said, clearly seeing this pokemon was a hugger. [break][break] Meowstic still acted on alert at all the wild pokemon. It was easy to tell the cat had to deal with a lot. Perhaps it saw itself as his house and was doing its best to protect the place. Some pokemon called it home, others just barged in to cause mischief and roughhouse... maybe worse. [break][break]

Working the Bugs Out (Wild Duo)

Zachary just gave an annoyed glare at his Haunter. The pranking Pokemon just continued to make bug eyes-- but soon blinked, seeing Zachary not amused. The ghost's grin dropped as he soon gave a guilty smile and floated away. Dizzy gave the ghost a cold look too-- telling Greed he wasn't funny. [break][break] Zachary looked at the ball now containing his new Scizor, and then to the pokemon around him. Even the wild bugs nearby-- and Shalin's bugs. The unease in Zachary's heart was going down a bit. His skin wasn't nervous as he got closer to the white mouth, and Swadloon soon joined him. Zachary gingerly reached up... and petted the moth. [break][break] It almost seemed to purr as it nuzzled into Zachary's hand, grateful. He blinked, not expecting the body to feel so soft, furry and smooth underneath. IT was squishy a bit... but sturdy. It didn't attack, or bite Zachary. It was welcoming to the caress. [break][break] Zachary stopped and stepped away. He still felt a chill up his body and a shiver-- but it wasn't as bad as before. He looked to his Pokemon-- Rabsca and Swadloon. He knelt down as he recalled Shalin's words. "My Pokemon... chose me. They wanted to be with me, cause they saw something in me they liked. That they felt safe around..." A tear fell from his eye as he soon discarded his fear and held Swadloon, who cooed happily in her leaves. [break][break] "Thank you for choosing me. I want to be a trainer with all of you." Zachary said, happy. [break][break] Swadloon gave a happy cheer-- but in that moment, suddenly the body and leaves of the pokemon glowed! [break][break] Both Rabsca and Zachary jumped in surprise, seeing as Swadloon was consumed by the light, growing and changing shape. Zachary was breathless at the magical display, seeing the little bug grow taller, and lither. [break][break] Finally, it stopped-- now transformed into something new! The light faded, revealing a narrow pokemon with pointy limbs and leafy exterior among its body, ending at its head with antennas and other more bug-like features more than swadloon had. Zachary blinked, feeling both nervous and excited to see that the Swadloon had evolved. [break][break] As he did, he took out his Pokedex and read its info. [break][break]

Leavanny, the nurturing pokemon. A nurturing pokemon who protects younger pokemon, both to care and protect them. It makes clothing for the pokemon in its care by gathering leaves. It's own leaves grow so sharp it can cut a tree in half.

[break][break] The Leavanny looked up at Zachary with a smile, expressing her happiness to be with him and that she was happy to evolve. Zachary still was stunned, unable to believe how she just evolved like that from his care. Despite his fear... Zachary was still a kind trainer and cared for it. THough her features were more bug like-- and made Zachary a touch more nervous to be near her, her compassion was not unknown. [break][break] "Swad--I mean Leavanny... congratulations! You evolved. I'm so proud of you." Zachary said with a smile. The Leavanny came closer and took a hold of Zachary's hand. At first, he flinched at the touch-- but soon, what he thought would be sharp and pointy-- turned out to be gentle and smooth. Like a soft leaf. [break][break]Zachary was making progress. Slow, and delicate, but progress all the same. [break][break]

It didn't take a Psychic to tell that Aaron's past may of been difficult. There was definitely a sorrow to his tale and his expression as Zachary watched a glance of it in the corner of his eye. He spoke, wanting to ask-- but the sound died in his throat. It was better not to ask. He bit his lip, controlling his curiosity and concern. Some things were best left alone. It wasn't like he didn't have hardships himself. [break][break] Along with the Dragapult-- Nyx soon flew upward, and spotted the giant golem-like Pokemon blocking the way, seemingly thirsty for battle with its club. [break][break] The little owl hooted and quickly flew back down. Concerned, the owl flew and bee-lined right for Zachary, crashing into his arms! The owl was a tizzy, trying to warn them about the giant golem up ahead. "I... take it Nyx found the big thing that scared us off the last time," Zachary stated, seeing how agitated the Hoothoot was. He quickly held Nyx, petting her ruffled feathers to calm down. [break][break] At Aaron's suggestion, Zachary paused. He couldn't see it from the tree coverage well. "Well there is no pokemon center if things go badly. I think it be wiser to be patient than charge in. " he suggested-- if they were that lucky. But odds are they weren't so lucky. [break][break] Dizzy in the back looked forward, worried how they would proceed. Suddenly, his ears perked up-- either by sound or a sensation in the fox's mind. He looked into the dark of the trees. Something bugged the fox as he glared at a shadowy figure there. Or a shadowy something. He didn't speak up, concerned of alerting more dangers... but he glared at it, concerned. Then again... it could of been nothing. Maybe a piggy in there or something. [break][break] The fox continued to stare... as the others talked. [break][break]

SWAMPERT SWARM (II)

[attr="class","text"]

The journey to find more Tera Shards, to explore the mysterious and magical properties of Terastellization, as well as explore of Hoen took Zachary through the swampland. with him, for a change, he took his new special friend-- Jiraiya the Greninja. It was odd for the psychic Pokemon trainer, but Greninja was no ordinary frog pokemon. He had grown and become afar more skilled. That and his skin was far darker than others-- being unique. The frog hopped and scaled along the trees, all the while keeping his trainer in sight. [break][break] With the emergence of the Swamperts, Greninja took arm, his watery powers taking ninja like weapons. As the swarm came, they could see the glow of the Tera shard coming from below the bottom of the swamp. "Jiraiya! Show em what you got? Toxic Spikes!" Zachary ordered. [break][break] Obeying happily, the frog jumped above, and spreaded shards of glowing, violet spikes, causing the poisonous spikes to seed into the ground. The Swamperts tried to attack him as he moved, stepping or trying to avoid the spikes. Moving like an acrobat and ninja as he was-- Greninja flipped and jumped through the swampland, almost seeming to skip and walk on the water's surface. [break][break] "Strike them down! Quick attack!" Zachary called. [break][break] Greninja's speed went into high gear-- and shot forward. A blur of speed and water, knocked the Swamperts around, delivering strong and swift strikes. [break][break] Greninja returned back to the back-- flipping dramatically, and landed near before Zachary... [break][break] .. The flashy frog soon took a dramatic stance, showing off as he gave a traditional Yojimbo pose, with a palm extended to show his prowess like a dramatic ninja. [break][break] Zachary frowned and shook his head. "Show off..." Zachary murmured, shrugging at his luck of finding unusual Pokemon. [break][break] B|C7YB_y[break][break]

Zachary soon got a better look at the 'attacker' , finding him to be a scary looking guy wearing dark robes and a mask. He looked intimidating, and clearly someone out of some cultist gang. As the smoke cleared from the eruption, Happy held his shield up, intending to protect Zachary more than anyone else. [break][break] As the masked man did his 'typical bad guy' talk,- the other begged for safety, stating he would kill him. Zachary listened to both sides carefully. He wasn't ignorant or naive. Perhaps this was a dispute of the same group. Who knew? Zachary didn't and still was on guard. Still, one thing was clear. No one deserved to be thrown to their death by touchy Voltorb. [break][break] Brushing a lock of hair away from his brow, Zachary sighed. "Yeah... that may be the smart thing to do. But..." Zachary looked back up at the guy as he brought out his 'teddy-bear Pokemon' which looked sweeter than it probably was. Zachary gave a defying smirk at the man. "... what can I say? My heart wouldn't be in it. So no, I'm not letting you get away with hurting ANYONE. So deal with it!" Zachary declared with defiance. [break][break] Dizzy gave a warning bark as well, ready to fight, as was Mime Jr. However there was one big problem. [break][break] The mines! Or rather, the Voltorb. Some were exposed, but many may be hidden and dangerous to attack. He didn't have many flying Pokemon to fly over them. However... [break][break] Zachary smirked at an idea. "Dizzy, Happy. I need you to stay where you are. Happy, keep your barriers ready just in case, but let me handle this with someone else. " he told his partners. Dizzy nodded, and Happy raised a hand with agreement. [break][break] Zachary took a defying step forward and took out another Pokeball. A new one-- now described with the insignia "VII" on it. [break][break] "I invoke the courage of the Chariot..." Zachary said like a soft prayer, and then snapped his eyes open to the masked Rocket. "Time to ride, HERMES!!" [break][break] Zachary tossed his Pokeball up high, causing it to erupt with light and out came a new pokemon. "RAAAII!!" A certain electric rodent cheered as he descended! Zachary had called out an Alola Raichu, who easily surfed down from the air with a stylish spin before he hovered over the ground, prompt on its own tail like a skateboarder. The cocky look on the electric mouse's face showed how excited he was to be there, and was itching for excitement. [break][break] Catching back the Pokeball from the air, Zachary smirked again. "Ready for some fun, Hermes? But be careful. The area is covered with Voltorb below." Zachary explained to his Pokemon. [break][break] Hermes gave a carefree wave of his paw, not threatened by it. It wasn't he was ignoring Zachary, but had no reason to fear-- as why Zachary picked him. [break][break] With Raichu levitating on his tail, he would never touch the ground! Which meant, the Raichu could fight without fear! [break][break] Seeing the Beware next to the enemy, Raichu exchanged challenging looks at the big teddy bear! [break][break]

✦ Putting Dizzy and Happy aside to cover their safety, Zachary calls out Hermes the Alolan Raichu. Its levitation nature prevents him from touching the ground and safe from Voltorb-- presumably. .

Josh was pissed-- and that was saying something. He normally was more composed and understanding. But this time, he would have none of it. Zachary was in shock that his Kadabra was so disobedient and now resulted to provoke this kind of reaction. Ashamed , Zachary took out his Pokeball for Tarot the Kadabra. THe Pokemon was not going to cooperate today! "That's enough. Tarot, I order you to return! NOW!" Zachary said firmly and the beam from the pokeball fired. [break][break] Tarot was preparing another Shadow Ball-- but soon was stopped by Zachary as Tarot disappeared and returned back to the Pokeball. [break][break] Zachary sighed as he fell to his knees, holding the Pokeball. It may of been his imagination but he felt as if the ball heaved-- as if Tarot strictly disapproved being sent back. Zachary looked ashamed by all this, realizing Kadabra was beyond his control for now. He was glad that Tarot evolved-- but it only made him more irritable and disobedient. "I'm sorry... I honestly thought he would listen but... I didn't even call him out and hoped I could reason with him. " he said, regretfully. "I forfeit this round to remove him from battle. Il just continue this with my other pokemon." Zachary said. [break][break]Taking advantage of the 'Time Out" Zachary recovered his breath. Dizzy looked sad for Zachary, reaching over and patting his partner on the back to calm him down. Zachary tried to shake it off. He wanted to be a Gym Leader-- but how could he with a pokemon who was so stubborn he wouldn't listen to his orders. Zachary was a joke that way and no gym challenger would take him seriously! [break][break] Shaking the thoughts away, Zachary rose up and got ready for the next round. At least Tarot had knocked out the big bug in the room. But it left two more, and just as powerful, pokemon to contend with. Zachary looked over to the Pyroar, being patient as she waited swishing her tail. [break][break] "Given the situation, Dizzy would be a good choice to handle Pyroar's fire but... " Zachary thought aloud, but took out another pokeball. One with a "0" on it, representing The Fool. He looked at it, realizing he had a fun way to counter Pyroar's powerful pipes. "Let's give my little friend a shot in the spotlight." Zachary said as he slowly recovered a smile to his face. "I choose you, HAPPY!" [break][break] Zachary tossed up the Pokeball into the air-- and it snapped open. Light poured out, and took form of a familiar creature Josh had seen around Zachary all too often. [break][break] The cheerful Mime jr. took the stage, as he greeted everyone with a happy cry, waving a little hand out. Seeing Josh, Happy smiled no different as if he was a friend, or not a challenger. [break][break] Zachary calmly regarded Josh and let him make the first move, a fair consequence for his poor control of Tarot. "Don't let Happy fool you. He's tough as nails." Zachary warned. But he hoped Pyroar would try Hyper Voice again, cause if so-- they would be in for quite the surprise. [break][break]

The slide down the tube entered a slide-- which would of been fun if it wasn't for the destination as Zachary saw the flow of goo grow thicker. He held his breath and prepared for the sticky plunge! [break][break] SPLOOSH!![break][break] Zachary opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by a disgustingly sticky goo. He felt the urge to vomet and quickly tried to get out. He was in some kind of vat-- but luckily as he pushed against the surface, it began to open for him like pulling a membrane off something. He soon broke free along with the others, landing on the ground. [break][break] Violent coughs followed as Zachary caught his breath, covered in the sticky goo. "I was right... that did suck..." Zachary groaned as he struggled to get to his senses. He was already in pain from all he suffered-- but as his vision cleared, and thanks to his magical eyesight-- he soon saw them. [break][break] And his heart stopped in both shock and disbelief. [break][break] They were there. All of them! His pokemon-- and the others from the other prisoners. They were all trapped in the vats-- and seeming to have duplicates of themselves. If it wasn't for the toxic chains, Zachary wouldn't have been able to tell them apart as his STargazer eyes saw them apart. More so, his eyes glowed-- and the aura surrounded the Pokemon alone, indicating they were the original of the pair! He stood there silent for a moment, as he saw each one. Dizzy, Happy, Tarot, Jumanji, Prophet... [break][break] His breath caught as he soon saw the black Umbreon floating there as well. He knew him upon sight. [break][break] Anubis! The Pokemon he thought dead, alive inside the tank, curled up feebily in the vat. "He's... He's alive... " Zachary gasped, unable to stop the tears in his eyes. [break][break] It was then that the sound of cracking came. Zachary looked to see him-- Azelf in the tank, and his awakening from his slumber! A powerful, mysterious psychic force pulsed outward! The moment it met Zachary-- he felt an odd feeling in his body. Following that-- the sound of a crackle came from around him, as his Poison chain grew brittle and crumbled before his eyes! [break][break] The chaos unfoled and the pokemon all broke free as Zachary rose up from the confusion. Finally having enough, he gripped the sides of his mask and with a vicious pull, tore it off finally, removing the remaining parts of the chains that held in place! [break][break]

Dramatic removal of one's mask!

[break][break] The removal of the mask gave Zachary that spark of hope back as he felt more and more like his old self. As his Pokemon emerged from their respective pods-- they soon saw Zachary, and Zachary looked to see them. Before he could say anything-- Dizzy, Happy-- all of them ran towards them, huddling and hugging him. Even his Kadabra was happy to see his trainer, despite how unruly he was. Zachary hugged as man as he could with his arms, happy to see them all, unable to hide his tears. But most of all, as his Umbreon returned to him... Zachary teared up more, unable to hold it back. "Anubis... thank god!" Zachary sobbed and hugged his Umbreon tightly, after thinking for so long his friend had been killed. It almost didn't feel real. "I... I thought I'd never see you again! Ah...!" [break][break] ANubis looked to Zachary, having been completely oblivious to the idea that he was in mortal danger. Easing his trainer's emotional tears, the Umbreon nudged his fur against him and licked his cheek to dry his tears. [break][break] Slowly, Zachary pulled himself together and wiped away the last of his tears. Nearby-- he had found them. His Pokeballs, all easily marked by the Roman Numerals on each ball for each Pokemon. He also found his Jacket along with the other room-- containing his Tera Orb as well! As everything unfolded, Zachary knew he had to recall his pokemon. "Okay, guys! I need you to go back for now. We are in a lot of trouble and I'll call you when I need you, but for now, come back!" Zachary ordered. One by one, he recalled his Pokemon, but stopped at the last one-- Happy, the Mime Jr. [break][break] "Happy, I'm gonna need your help with the fight up ahead. Can I count on you?" Zachary asked. [break][break] "Mi-mi-mime!" Happy cheered, expressing his willingness to help. Despite being a Mime Jr-- he was tougher than he looked! One of Zachary's best Pokemon.[break][break] Zachary looked to see that Azelf was in the care of two others-- trying to heal it. As much as he wanted to help Azelf-- he knew there was other things needing attention. For all of them! He had faith in Eris Halla and the others with him to heal Azelf. Reluctantly, Zachary decided to head back to join the others... as the big fight was to come. "Azelf... please pull through. And... thank you..." Zachary said. He wished to help. However the gentle tug from Happy on his pant leg made him snap out of it. Happy looked up with both concern and earnest--, knowing they were in danger. [break][break] Drying the last of his tears, he got to work. If Alexei Ivanov would follow, they could come back up but he also needed his pokemon too. Now armed, and wearing his coat again, he ran back up to join the others. [break][break] They were all preparing, sensing something dangerous coming their way! The time was now to act! "Let's do this, Happy--- wait, when did you get that?!" Zachary stopped. [break][break] In Happy's little hands, he held a little mask. Something he picked up from the room that contained all their gear. As if to act cool, Happy dawned the mask, looking like some sleek noir thief among the prison. "Mi-Miiime!!" Happy cheered, as if to say "It's Showtime!". [break][break]

Last Surprise Jailbreak music!

[break][break] Happy hopped up to the rest of the Pokemon, as Zachary joined besides Elise Calcifet , Josh Devlin and others he knew. "Guys! I'm glad you're all okay!" Zachary said as he looked to Happy, probably the smallest of all the Pokemon in the jailbreak awaiting the enemy! "Happy, protect us! Use Reflect!" Zachary shouted. [break][break] A twinkle shined in the Mime Jr's eye as he adjusted his little mask. With a happy cry and spin, he soon pushed his tiny hands out and a glow extended forward! . The wall of light appeared, and solidified. Whatever enemy would appear, Happy was intending to give all his new friends a fighting chance and wanted to protect them. With Reflect active, at least half of the enemies's would be absorbed. While not looking it, the Mime Jr. was a menace in battle! [break][break]
