Once again Oscar appeared to visit the mysterious ghost horse, but this time when it appeared Oscar would be surprised to find it in peril! Er, perhaps not peril per-say--but it certainly looked uncomfortable. With so many wisps tangled in its mane, it would need something more than just a soft combing.

Oscar sent out two pokemon--his Shedninja and Lucario. A cleaner to get the wisps out and a bag to put them in. Oscar pointed to the horse, "Lucario, Vacuum Wave the wisps and store them in Shedninja!" Lucario acted immediately, throwing back his arms to pull an immense gust of wind around him. The wisps were yanked from the mane, twirling around Lucario as he held together his charged power. 

Carefully he would aim toward Shedninja before firing the wave of collected energy into its back. The wave passed harmlessly through the ghoulish bug, and the wisps were sucked into the hole in its back. Shedninja sighed, apparently quite pleased with its meal. Oscar smiled and turned toward the horse. 

"There ya go, hope that helped!"

Oscar arrived at his garden plot once more, eager to once again encounter the spectral horse. After a short wait it reappeared, though it did not seem as eager to interact with Oscar now that so much time had passed. Oscar came prepared however, while he had no more carrots to share with the steed he brought a freshly picked basket of tomato berries from his new garden. 

He stepped forward with great confidence, holding out a gloved hand filled with delectable berries. "Don't be shy now, they're yours to have if you wish."

--Oscar is feeding a tomato berry to the Spectrier.

Genesect's Tera Blast was lost in the barrage of attacks that assaulted the unknown wielding woman. Oscar expected her to be certified space dust, but as the actual space dust cleared she would be found to be very much still alive with only one unknown remaining. Oscar cursed, resolved to finish her off when a bright light from behind drew away his attention.

Oscar had been so caught up in the developing threats on the meteor, that he did not realize how close Hoenn was becoming. By now the primal points had been set off, and the meteor was about to be teleported into another dimension! Oscar yelped, panicking as he realized how utterly fucked he was. This was it, it was too late to get off the ride now! In a few short moments, the meteor and everyone on it would be splattered across another dimension's surface...

Or perhaps not? As the light of the Primal Points dissipated, Oscar found himself losing his balance and falling downward. Then he kept falling, and as he slowly refocused himself he realized that everyone that had been on the meteor was now freefalling alongside shards of the mysterious mineral!

Oscar was relieved, his chances of splattering had just significantly decreased--but there would be no time to rest. That ninja woman was now more vulnerable than ever, and Oscar was not about to let such a valuable potential asset get away. Spinning like a top, Oscar would attempt and fail multiple times to point toward the woman, eventually giving up and electing to call out his order instead.

"Genesect! The ninja! Get 'em!"

Genesect had already stabled itself with a proper skydiving stance, and so it was easily able to manuver its cannon toward the woman and let loose an electrified net in an attempted to capture her (Electro Web). By now Oscar was able to stabilize as well, and he quickly gave his second order. "Alright, magnet rise and glide us over there."

Genesect shook its head, attempting to pantomime that it was incapable of doing more than one move per post. Oscar did not understand this meta tomfoolery, but since Genesect was not immediately following his orders he assumed something was wrong. He gulped, and his heart plummeted into his stomach as he suddenly realized he might actually die. Hopefully one of his fellow Rockets could nab the ninja, Oscar was now too busy hoping not to succumb to gravity.

Oscar's autotuned voice would soon be heard over Rocket comms. "Hey if someone has a moment, Genesect and I need a ride." He downplayed the urgency, because pretending to be calm was the only thing keeping him from freaking the fuck out! As he fell, Oscar took note of the crystal shards falling around him and would make an attempt to grab one. If he was going to die, he would do so with the prize he came for in hand.

Good luck Oscar.

tl;dr
--Oscar and Genesect are falling.
--Genesect attempts to capture Dr. Holo in an Electro Web.
--Oscar and Genesect need help not splattering on the ground.
--Oscar tries to catch a mineral shard so he can at least die having accomplished what he came for.

It is always hard when things that should be easy turn out agonizingly arduous. When Oscar set out to create his 'PokePods', he thought his efforts would snowball into success after the first prototype's failure. Yet as he put the finishing touches on the second prototype, he found himself no closer than he was a few weeks ago. He found himself at a roadblock, unable to find the desired suction of Infinity Energy. So many pokemon have been turned to ashes in his pursuit to revolutionize energy, surely their lives would be in vain if he could not reach a breakthrough!

Oscar had reached out to Lulu Flint for help, he figured since he was working in her research facility she would be able to drop by at some point. Unfortunately, her schedule has been filled to the brim for the foreseeable future. Oscar felt his confidence waver, after all without his scientific partner in crime would he actually be able to pull this off? Luckily Lulu referred him to another Rocket researcher, and Oscar called upon her to visit as soon as she could.

Enter Ceri Glynn; Oscar had yet to meet her but if she had the skillset he was promised they were about to become best friends. Oscar was currently waiting for her in his workshop, deep beneath Lulu's research facility. He had went ahead and given her clearance, so the security porygon throughout the facility should not give her any trouble. His workshop would not be hard to find, his name was on a fancy plaque next to the door and his voice could clearly be heard cursing as he loudly pounded upon the monstrous mound of electronics that was his PokePod. Hopefully she will not immediately run away.

As King slammed against the protect of Killian Decker , its eyes widened with fury. Who would dare prevent its approach? As it was pushed backward, the enraged shadow warrior let out a metallic growl. This transgression should not go unpunished! Fortunately that call was not up to King.

Oscar peeked from behind his ruined ship, and upon seeing Killian engaging with the enemy Deoxys he would let out a low groan. If he wanted that Deoxys, he would have to go through Killian--and Oscar did not feel optimistic about that matchup. At the very least, it was a waste of resources.  "Ohhhh----fine." Deflated, Oscar would pull out King's pokeball and recall it before the angry shadow pokemon could retaliate against either Deoxys.

Oscar left the safety of his shipwreck, forcing himself to look away from the Deoxys. That was not his fight anymore, but he and Killian shall have business to discuss later. If they live through this. Oscar turned his attention back toward the mineral, which was currently being swarmed by Unknown. He did not see that coming, but then again he had not been paying attention to anything else beside the Deoxys. They seemed to be threatening Lulu Flint and Naomi Sato though, so to Oscar that was enough to consider them antagonistic. 

Oscar released Genesect once more, who immediately braced itself for combat. Oscar was about to order another Techno Blast, when something very unusual occurred. Energy radiated from the central mineral, sending shockwaves across the meteor's surface. Oscar twitched as the surge approached, but once nothing happened he would gradually relax. Genesect seemed to be more susceptible to the energy, and it would quickly take on a new form that Oscar had never seen before.

Encased in crystals, Genesect would flex its metallic body as a giant knife grew around its head. Genesect roared as its crown imbued it with a strange power, and as nothing negative seemed to be happening Oscar would embrace the boost with glee. Pointing toward the center of the Unknown, which seemed to be some sort of ninja (weird but okay), Oscar would finally give his command. "Genesect, Techno Blast!"

Genesect would charge its cannon like normal, but when it would unleash its power a completely new beam would emerge. From its cannon emerged a blast of pure silver light, cascading with a strength it had never displayed before. Neither Oscar nor Genesect knew it, but this attack was actually Tera Blast! The beam ripped across the meteor, hopefully taking out as many Unknown as possible and sending that ninja straight to hell.

Because fuck 'em.

Oscar was not impressed by the wealthier looking house. Sure it looked nice, but in his experience people who could afford 'look at me peasants I'm rich' houses were not a lot of fun. Only bullies move to a middle class neighborhood and make an effort to seem better than their neighbors. Oscar's eyes narrowed, he was not done with this house tonight...

But for now the much more festive looking house was the place to hit. Anyone who went this big in September had to already be stocked with candy, Oscar and Priam could possibly get a huge payload! Clavis seemed to agree, pointing one of his razor sharp legs incessantly toward the decorated house. The dewpider had good taste.

Oscar nodded, "Off we go then!" and began marching across the street. As they approached, Oscar could not help but admire this homeowner's artistry. It was a delightfully spooky graveyard setup, complete with homemade tombstones, grinning pumpkins, and grinning skeletons. Oscar giggled as they approached the front door, which was equipped a fittingly gothic door-knocker. He took the liberty of grabbing the knocker and slamming it into the door twice. The door opened quickly, and Oscar would lift his bag and declare, "Trick or Treat!"
