Oscar felt something heavy attach itself onto his ship, and he would look up as if some sort of x-ray vision would reveal what happened. No such luck of course, but it would not stop Oscar from sighing heavily as he resumed staring forward. Nothing is ever easy for him. Oscar would speak to Genesect over its private comm, "I dunno what the fuck is going on up there, but I expect it to be taken care of. Please!?" 

Genesect locked eyes with its sizable opponent, emanating rumbles of annoyance at its deflection of Techno Blast. Genesect would not immediately counter attack, instead wishing for the Probopass to make the next move. While it waited, Genesect would Analyze its foe for points of vulnerability. It was a little hard to find any since this fucker was built like a tank, but even tanks have their weak spots. Genesect was positive it found exactly what it was looking for right as the probopass Discharged electricity into the ship.

By now 99943 Menteno was finally in view, and Oscar could not help gawk at its splendor. The bounty that awaited within would surely be worth all of this trouble. Suddenly Oscar would hear the unmistakable sound of loose electricity, and the ship's equipment would start flashing. Up until now, Oscar had been relying on the ship's auto-pilot--but that would no longer be an option was the ship's electronics began to go haywire. 

"Son of a fucking cunt!" Oscar latched onto the ship's steering lever and wrangled with it as the ship approached Menteno. The realization that Oscar would have to land this himself made him sick, but he was determined to rise to the occasion or die trying. mint frost 's voice came over the Rocket Comms, giving Oscar a wonderful idea of where to land. "A cave? Cool I'll aim for that. Secure the entrance, there is likely more resources deeper inside. See you in like fifteen seconds." Oscar would continue wrestling with the controls, attempting to 'land' near Mint's position.

Meanwhile, Genesect capitalized on the opportunity provided by the probopass's attack. Wasting no time, Genesect aimed its cannon between his opponent's eyes and fired off yet another Techno Blast. This time around, the probopass could have it all to itself.

tl;dr
--Oscar is forced to land the ship manually as the Probopass's discharge shuts off the ship's electronics. His aim is to land near mint frost .
--Genesect attacks the probopass with Techno Blast, powered up by Steel Worker and Analytic.
--Genesect's Techno Blast is Steel type for this thread.
-- Oscar's suit

Oscar's eyes lit up as Bishop gave his command. Despite the power of its attack, Genesect seemed to be doing very little to this mass of garbling flesh. Were the tusks of a Haxorus strong enough to break through and finish this with one hit? Oscar held his breath as the Haxorus charged forth to deliver its blow! The tusks of the dragon ripped through the creature like tissue paper, it would seem that its physical defenses left much to be desired.

Purple goo shot out of its gaping wound, and Oscar would jump in place to celebrate. "Fuck yeah way to go Bi-!" The creature exploded in a burst of cosmic energy, sending Oscar and Genesect flying as purple slime covered every inch of the laboratory. Oscar smacked against the wall and fell to the floor face first. Everything went fuzzy for a moment, had he been knocked unconscious? If he did it was temporary, as a wave of goo would cover Oscar and prompt a less than enthused reaction. "Ooooooh shit I just bought this SUIT!"

Oscar very slowly began to rise, and Genesect would rush over to aid him. It would seem That Genesect was barely affected by being thrown against the wall, which was hardly surprising. As Oscar got to his feet, he would wipe slime out of his eyes before looking around frantically. "Bishop! Bishop are you alright? Speak to me you beautiful bastard where are you!?"

@bishop

Oscar blinked, "I--you--what?" He did not expect Fernando to know of a solution, at least not one Oscar had not tried yet. Even so, it was possible that whatever Fernando had in mind was in Rocket's possession and Oscar had in fact tried it. Regardless, Oscar was keen to hear what he had in mind. 

Oscar leaned in, his expression a bizarre mixture of cold hopefulness. "Well let's hear it. Maybe I can help you retrieve it, it isn't as if I have much to lose by now."

A blatant lie, but one that Oscar liked to tell himself to make the prospect of dying easier to swallow.

FERNANDO SILPH

At first Oscar was going to enthusiastically agree with Priam's idea, but after a moment's thought he hesitated. "Wait would that be scary? I mean I know what you're going for but the picture I have in my head makes us look more like meatballs. Oh I know, let's throw rocks at people! And when they get mad we'll say 'We're just performing a Meteor drill'!" 

The old man returned, placing packs of gum into Priam and Oscar's bag. Oscar beamed, "Thank y-!" but the old man would slam the door closed before Oscar could finish expressing his thanks! What a Grinch! Oscar scoffed, "Some people have no holiday spirit. Okay Priam you lead the way where are we going next?"

Bishop's reaction was about what Oscar had expected. The beast shrugged and chuckled somehow more nervously than before, "Would you believe that it used to be a chansey? Science is wacky amirite?" The creature roared with agony, and as Bishop brought a out a pokemon Oscar would reach into his coat to do the same. Genesect would emerge from a completely red ball, initially primed for battle before settling into a neutral pose 'cause---what the fuck was that? What was Genesect supposed to do about it? 

Oscar looked to Bishop, "You're a tough mother fucker Bishop, and you've fought in a distortion before! You're the best shot I have at closing this shit! In theory, all we would need to do is kill the source!" The abomination screeched, sending bolts of electricity across the lab. One bolt landed near the duo, and Oscar would raise his arm to protect himself from debris. "Uh--let's just try not to die. It would be embarrassing. Genesect, Techno Blast!"

Genesect's cannon roared as it unleashed a dazzling beam of energy. As the beam collided with its body, the creature would writhe and send even more bolts of electricity in every direction. 

@bishop

"Oh shi-"

Oscar nearly fell backward as Xerneas emerged from the tree. Had it been in there the whole time? Hopefully it was not bothered when Oscar played some work music earlier. Though surely the legendary life pokemon had to enjoy rock and roll, the most invigorating of music genres! Oscar recovered quickly, wiping his hands off with a nearby towel. Everything was in place, now all they needed to do was turn it on...

Oscar strolled casually over to the control panel, set up with a thick layer of fiberglass to protect from--accidents. Donning a set of tinted goggles, Oscar would clap his hands loudly and shout to his companions. "Let's light 'er up! If you wanna get behind cover now's the time!" Should they choose Oscar's control panel as their point of safety, goggles would be provided to help emulate that mad science vibe Oscar craved. I mean--protect their eyes.

Once everyone was in position, Oscar chuckled deviously and began the startup process. The generator slowly roared to life, starting off loud but stationary as it tried to breakdown the Blue Mulch. Just as it did for countless Mega Stones, the generator would extract the mulch's infinity energy and begin running it through its tubular power grid. A bright blue light would emit from the generator, a stark change to its usual orange glow. Oscar cackled, the generator was locked and loaded. He grabbed a bright red lever in the center of his panel, and after a dramatic pause he would pull it to unleash the gathered energy into the sync stones. 

To say it was a light show would be an immense understatement, the pure Infinity Energy surging through the Crystal Bloom Hearts sent colors of every variety cascading across the walls. Now came the moment of truth, as the energy was transferred directly into the tree. Oscar's manic laughter echoed over the sound of surging electricity, he seemed to be rather enjoying himself. 

"I love my fuckin' job!"
