ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Thanks to Tagg and Tracer for spagging this

AU!Sinnoh

-The second wave of dragons is currently assaulting our ranks-

-A certain Archen is taking the opportunity to set up sneaky pebbles some sharpened levitating rocks to form a barrier, as he falls back along with some party members-

-Taking cover behind a rock-

<Speeqe: "Caw! There's MORE of them?!">

<Claus: "I thought that they weren't SUPPOSED to have that many kids!">

<Bandaged Wing!Kyle: "Hey, you're preaching to the choir here-! Wait just a moment...">

-And we recognize two rather young mons in our ranks-

<Archen!Tracer: "Speeqe?! Claus?! Why are you two still here?! I thought that you went back along with the supply team!">

<Speeqe: "Caw! It's no problem! We'll just keep this up!"> ^v^

<Claus: "Yeah! They can't keep this up forev-!">

<Archen!Tracer: "Don't give me that crap! GET LOST!">

-Looking rather stunned by the outburst-

<Speeqe: "..."> ._.

<Claus: "We... We were just trying to help..."> ._.

<Archen!Tracer: "... Look, I know that and all but- GAH!">

<Speeqe: "CAW!">

<Claus: "Meep!">

-And the three smaller forms jump out of the way of a Dragon Pulse-

<Leana: "You creep! Watch where you aim!">

-And retaliates in the direction of the attack with a Dark Pulse-

<Archen!Tracer: "Look. Just don't needlessly shorten your life expectancies! GO!">

<Claus: "Okay...">

<Kit: "Come on you two, let's get going... I'll be back as soon as I can, Tracer.">

<Archen!Tracer: "Just... Stay safe, Kit...">

-And the three hastily scurry off for the tunnels in the tribesgrounds, as a certain other Marowak fills her position-

<Iron Marrow: "Please tell me that you do have a plan beyond 'falling back continuously'."> >:(

<Archen!Tracer: "We're trying! We're trying! The numbers aren't really helping here! And we weren't expecting them to rush us this fast!">

<Iron Marrow: "Grm... What we need is some way to demoralize them!

... Say... What did you say that their leader was again? Perhaps I could upgrade from-">

<All: "IRON!">

<Iron Marrow: "What? It's worked before!">

-Approaching the group after dispatching a troublesome Dragonite-

Muddy: <I'm not sure that would work against a Latios.>

Tagg: "I'd pay a good amount of Pen to see it though."

<Kammy: "You and me both...">

<Archen!Tracer: "Wait a minute... I thought that we initially started covering different sides of the perimeter! How on earth did we-?!">

Eon: <Regardless, it certainly makes things easier for me.>

-Growls-

Tagg: "Eon."

<Draca: Surprised that you'd be willing to come here yourself.>

<Iron Marrow: "Your lack of tact is truly astounding, fiend.">

-Giving a harsh leer-

<Kammy: "What do you want? If it's news about Luke, we're as ignorant as you are.">

<Archen!Tracer: "Eon... Why are you doing this? You're a 'god', right? So why are you picking fights with the rules your counterparts made?">

Eon: -to Draca- <I'm surprised as well. I suppose there are some things best handled personally.>

-to Kammy- <I stopped caring about him the moment I left him. Don't take me to be like one of you.>

-to Tracer- <Because the rules they made are inferior. Why should Pokemon, let alone gods, be forced to subject themselves to a human's will?>

<Larvesta!Helios: "But it's not enslavement, it's a partnership!">

<Cobalt: "So instead we must all subject ourselves to our new dragon overlords. That is a poor offer Eon.">

<Kammy: "Grr... I don't recall of any human ever demanding that I mindless toady before him!"> >:(

<Iron Marrow: "What manner or sorcery are you even hiding behind? How has an abomination like you not been erased from this world?"> >:(

Eon: <The fact that you don't see what a sad situation you're in or how this could benefit you means you've been horribly brainwashed. Hopefully the new world order will make you understand how much better the world is without humans.>

-to Iron Marrow- <Because I am in the right. And obviously superior to any of those who would say otherwise.>

<Archen!Tracer: "Is that why you wasted all those supplies to comee all the way up to trash a mostly-deserted region, then? I knew you were stubborn, but I didn't think you would be stupid."> >:|

Eon: <This region has enough strategical importance to make those lost supplies worth it, even if we lost much more than planned.>

<Though, admittedly, I wouldn't have gone on this campaign if it were up to me...>

Tagg: "What do you mean, 'you'?"

<Muddy: So what do you call yourselves anyway, since you're obviously all in cahoots.)

Eon: -to Muddy- <If you must know, we call ourselves The Magnificent Seven. Which, against all logic, I do not lead.>

<If only because the leader obviously does not fight properly.>

Tagg: "Magnificent Seven?"

<Draca: "How sanctimonius, sounds more like the Seven Jerk Dragons to me.">

<Iron Marrow: "Oh... So the 'god' takes orders... Do tell... It would make for a far more fitting trophy to wield in my claws...">

Eon: <...>

<...>

<SILENCE!>

-Eon shoots a burst of light at Iron Marrow-

-Rolling out of the way, but not without a bad graze-

<Iron Marrow: "GAH!">

-And begins to make a rhythmic series of motions-

<Iron Marrow: "You may be a 'god'... But you are still a fiend...

And you can still be    hurt   .">

-And uses Blizzard-

<Iron Marrow: "Taste winter, you wretch!">

<Kammy: "Well, I was hoping that we could bring you back down to earth without resorting to this...

But so be it! Let's rush him">

-And chips in with rest of team, leading with an Ice Beam-

Tagg: "Guys!"

-Firing Ice Beams of their own-

<Muddy: Got it!>

<Nudi: Let's get him!>

-Firing a Dragon Pulse-

<Draca: Your actions bring shame on all dovah Eon!>

-Eon dodges the incoming Blizzard and the Ice Beams of the starters, but is struck by Nudi's as well as Draca's Dragon Pulse, taking a bit of damage-

Eon: <I still fail to see why a true dovah would side with humans.>

-He shoots another blast of light at Draca-

-Using a Protect to block the Luster Purge-

<Draca: Did you think I could be swept aside that easily? Let me show just how dovah I am. KRII LUN AUS!>

-And a peculiar wave of energy is fired from Draca's mouth-

-Taken aback by the strange words coming from Draca's mouth-

<Leana:: "What... Did... That?"> Ovo;

<Kyle: "Grr... It means rush him! He'll be taking hits like a wet paper bag!">

-And lunges for the Latios with a Dragon Claw, if hampered by shaky flight-

<Buster: "Right behind you!">

-And attempts X-Scissor-

<Draca: "Your hide is ours!">

-And attacks with a Dragon Claw of her own-

-Eon's defenses are lowered by the Thu'um, then he takes a good deal of damage from Kyle, Buster, and Draca's attacks-

Eon: <Rrgh... You think that was impressive?>

-turns to Buster- <GAAN LAH HAAS!>

-Falling out of sky, visibly fatigued-

<Kyle: "Nrrk! Wh-What on earth was-?!">

<Buster: "Rrgh... You overgrown Wingull... What did you do?!">

<Archen!Tracer: "Hey, Eon! Catch!">

-And picks up and lobs a sizeable rock at the Latios-

-Eon is struck by the rock, taking a fair amount of damage, which is lessened by the health he regains-

Eon: <Rrgh... You'll have to do better than that!>

-He aims a Psychic at Tracer-

-A shrill cry reverberates through the air-

<Raptor: "Leave him alone!">

-And a form swooping in blindsides the Latios with Brave Bird mid-Psychic-

-Eon is completely surprised by this and falls to low health-

Eon: Grr... Can't do this myself... As much as I'd like to...

<Attack!>

-Eon slinks to the back as the other dragons advance forward-

<Archen!Tracer: "... He just gave away our position, didn't he?"> OvO;

Tagg: "Fuck."

-To a retreating Eon-

<Muddy: What's the matter, afraid of a bunch of pets?>

-Eon stops and seems to stew briefly at Muddy's comment, but quickly returns to the flight path he was going on-

-The dragons advance more, seeming to try to put wedges in the defending force-

<Archen!Tracer: "Gah! Dr. Tagg?! Richard?!">

-Hastily trying to hold her position-

<Kammy: "Urgh! They're getting between us! What do we do?!">

-As my mons start forming a defensive circle-

Tagg: "Bunch up! Pick a partner, and start beating them back!"

Holon City

Not really. We basically just need to go in, shut down the operations, apprehend the scientists, and rescue Crewe, if possible.

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Crewe weakly snaps at Aelia as she starts unbinding her, but makes no move to escape-

-to Straw- Understood.

-Ren turns to the birds and reassures them-

I have no intention of making you stay for the battle. I promised Silent I'd keep you safe, so once we're all at the island, please return to my room at Holon Center.

Today, Above the City

Zeta, Pi, and Clans Warden and Bismarck are gearing up.

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Crewe's snapping is rendered harmless by Aelia's armour.-

Aelia: Looks like someone's all worn out. Usually I'd give you a lollipop for being so brave, but sadly you lost your right to that when you started screaming.

-She pulls a Full Restore out of a nearby drawer, sprays Crewe with it, then leans against a filing cabinet in the corner, still making notes on her clipboard. Her Luxray continues to growl at Crewe.-

Aelia: Now then, go nuts. I need some observation data to see if the procedure's been successful. Break anything and my Luxray will break you.

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Crewe hisses at Aelia, flattening her ears and bristling. She perks up considerably at the Full Restore, and ignores the Luxray, leaping at Aelia and doing her best to slash through the armor-

PEFE - Holon Branch

Hikari is working on a few things, Allen is also there helping her along with his Pokémon.

Pi is wandering the streets.

Onu-Val

-Yesterday, Osuna started leading the group down into a separate cave, where the Toa Stone of Earth was hidden. Today, they're still there.-

Holon City, PEFE Branch

-Samus files over to Hikari and gives a cheerful burp of fire.-

Samus: <Hi again, nice scientist lady~ And hi to you too, mister assistant man. I haven't seen you around in a while! Bishop was wondering where you went.>

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Aelia is pounced on by Crewe, and whilst the Sneasel's scratches are unable to do any damage she drops her clipboard as a result of having a Sneasel attached to her face.-

Aelia: Argh! Get off me, you pest!

-She grabs Crewe and throws her to the floor.-

Aelia: Fine. You want to be like that? Luxray, Iron Head.

-The Luxray growls, then charges at Crewe with a steely headbutt.-

Holon City

Hearing Shahinne, Pi looks up.

"Aye, I am at that, little birdy."

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Crewe snarls as she's thrown off and scrambles to her feet, turning to face the Luxray. She leaps to the side of his attack and makes a choking sound as she spits out acid at the Luxray-

-she lands a few feet away, gagging and holding her throat-

PEFE - Holon Branch

"<Oh. So that's the fire bird.>" said Cell, looking at Samus's performance

Hikari and Allen, both being unable to understand monese, just continue what they were doing, not even fazed by Samus's fire

"Is everything working properly, Ms.Minami?" asked Allen

"Yep! I think I can reverse whatever happened to this Tranquill now!" said Hikari.

Holon City, PEFE Branch

Samus: <Aww, but I'll miss being able to breathe fire...>

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-The Luxray is splattered by the Acid Spray and left completely unharmed. It growls and moves to charge at her again, only to be waved away by Aelia, who gives a small smile.-

Aelia: There we are. Was that so hard? Keep up this good behaviour and I might even get you a bigger cage.

-She picks up Crewe, unfazed by any potential resistance due to her armour, locks the Sneasel back in her cage, then carries the cage back down to the holding cells.-

edited 22nd Aug '13 9:47:29 AM by Herbert40k

Distant Island Chain, Cipher Lab

-Crewe coughs as Aelia picks her up, spraying out a few drops of acid. She groans and curls up into a tight ball as she's locked back in her cell-

Ren -to Straw- If you don't mind, may I share my strategy for the assault?

Pi laughs at Shahinne.

"Thank you, Shahinnelette, but I already have one."

Uh, sure, go ahead.

Chuckling at the Shahinnelette, Pi continues walking down the road.

"Adorable little kook, that one.

Somewhere outside Onu-Val

-A little bird flies in, to be seen by a much bigger bird who happens to be not a bird right now, but a human.-

Skye: ...Hello?

The Shahinne clone is stopped in her tracks by 3 Katas, holding their claws out. "Halt! You will not get past Milady's Faithful Shadow!"

As I have a large team with me, I think Round would be particularly effective. My team can either either be the rearguard to clean up stragglers after the rest of you charge in; or I can lead the charge, softening up their resistance for everyone else?

Outside Onu-Val

-The little bird happens to be another messenger!-

Skye: ...Well, I am part of it. I'm looking for Eskay myself but there's no way I'm going into these caves to search for him.

The attempt at passage is once more stopped as 2 more clones are produced by another Double Team. "You shall not pass!"
