ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Spear Pillar

Grima:    Wha- No! NOOOOO!   

-Every last ounce of Grima's being and Robin's Glitch DNA is absorbed into the main Glitch, leaving Robin himself to slump over, not moving-

Nico: Robin!

Dave: Kid!

-They both rush over to Robin as Mia joins the rest of Team Umbra and Co. in cutting at the Glitch any way they can-

Kendall: -to the Glitch- {{You... How dare you toy with the lives of these people!}}

-They lunge in for a Crunch-

-A few more keystrokes-

Laura: "M-hm... And all taken care of. Your Electrode will be here safe and sound when things have settled down for you at work, Max"

-She nods as she speaks, and hands Max a Thorne Daycare business card-

"Just in case you feel like checking in early"

Spear Pillar

Leon: <Gah!>

(The Glaceon is thrown back by the attacks, with only a lightning-fast catch from his Trainer saving him from tumbling over the edge of Spear Pillar. Vincent, his eyes dilated and his ears flat, glances over at Klaus, who seems surprisingly calm.)

Klaus: <Blast them. Direction seems to be irrelevant.>

(Following his own advice, Klaus launches an unfocused Psychic wave into the middle of ▶▒ A▒'s being. Vincent, after a moment of trepidation, does the same with a Dark Pulse.)

Spear Pillar

-As more pieces are cut down before they can recombine with the core, it retreats its tentacle from Robin, growing slightly bigger to make up for the lost health.-

▶▒ A▒: ]Aah, I almost forgot about the alternate-franchise stuff. That was a wild ride, huh?[

-It shifts form into what looks like a [huge Vespiquen] that sweeps a Light of Ruin across the field, wearing back into its health.-

▶▒ A▒: ]We can always share that experience again![

Spear Pillar

-So Pent's currently on full on 'avoid the bullet spam' mode-
You can't do anything anyway...
Okay, so we may have to wait until it takes some more damage before we attempt any nuking!

-Max nods-

Max: "Thanks. I'll make sure to call if needed."

Spear Pillar

We might need.. that.

-To my mons-

Okay, you're gonna have to distract it while I try something.

-And starts by drawing some lines-

Doc: -After barely blocking with a Protect- <Queen Sectonia!>

-Fires a Dazzling Gleam-

Victini: -Turns visible and fires a Searing Shot at the core-

Spear Pillar

-Everyone ducks and weaves out of the way of the Light Of Ruin, Kendall getting grazed by it due to their size-

-They then launch another barrage of attacks at the core-

Spear Pillar

(Deciding that attacks just don't seem to be doing anything, the Eevees focus on dodging the Light of Ruin.)

-Mezzo is knocked back by a Light of Ruin!-

Mezzo: Seriously? Seriously? Arceusdammit why will you not just go away already.

Forte: Now I'm even more confused.

Spear Pillar

-The progress made by the two Ludmilla is cut short as they hide behind cover.-

Ludmilla: This isn't working!

Ludmilla: We'll need bait!

Ludmilla: What kind of- Oh. Dumb question.

-Ludmilla dashes out from behind do cover to try and acquire a bit of Glitch material. Any kind will do.-

This'll be my last post of the night, but just a heads up that for the remaining "forms" (except for the Page 19999 phase) each transformation will have a particular weak point that needs to be hit (possibly in a particular way), or something to be ripped off to weaken it, et cetera, that will be more effective than aimless attacks. Trying to keep it slightly puzzle-boss-ish rather than just boring Attack Attack Attack

Spear Pillar

-All of the attacks hit, but one in particular hits especially hard — the Searing Shot hits right in the middle of [Queen Sectonia]'s staff, shattering it into glitch particles that scatter near the Ludmillas.-

▶▒ A▒: ]NO![

-The core transforms again, this time taking the form of a [golden Bisharp] that launches itself at Tagg's Victini at incredible speed. It makes no effort to protect any chinks in its armor, instead focusing solely on offense.-

Spear Pillar

Umbra: This seems crazy on several levels, but.

-He flings several tiny Shadow Balls at the chinks in the faux Bisharp's armor-

-Mia similarly hacks at the chinks with X-Scissor-

-Dave and Nico are still tending to Robin-

Nico: Come on buddy...

Dave: Dammit, you better keep breathing!

Spear Pillar

-Ludmilla grabs a handful of chitinous abdomen and runs back behind cover.-

Ludmilla: There we go.

Ludmilla: Now we should just need a timeframe...

Ludmilla: Leave that to me.

Canalave City, Mid-Pause

Chromie: Alrighty, three...

Phosphora: ... Three what?

-Chromie holds up a finger to cut her off.-

Spear Pillar

Victini: -Lets himself get hit by Edge!▶▒ A▒, but takes the opportunity to shoot them at close range with another Searing Shot-

Glitch City

Magnificent.

Spear Pillar

Really magnificent.

Theses were the thoughts of Phaz during that time.

Now he's just considering punching the glitch in the face.

But for now he's gonna attack the glitch with the sword made from this thread's first page.

Phaz: Fuck this, Fuck this day, Fuck everyone, Fuck that thing back in that Glitch City, Fuck everything you stand for, Fuck you!

He seems a bit pissed off.

Phaz used Cross Slash!

His Mons are just trying to protect him and the others.

Cynthia tried Wide Guard ξ!

Ashley tried Flamethrower Ω!

Volta tried Thunder Wave γ on the Glitch!

Embry tried Dark Pulse α!

Spear Pillar

After being frozen in place out of shock Sergey finally came to his senses again.

Alyesha all the while had watched the fight and talked with Matvey in the background (to get some form of plan going).

Spear Pillar

- DS and Ray are both helping out as best as they can -

Spear Pillar

-Surprisingly, the Searing Shot is not the attack that does the most damage — it certainly hurts, but Mia manages to hurt more by stabbing [Edge] through the chest with her X-Scissor, and Phaz's attack with the First Page Sword helps to open the wound.-

▶▒ A▒: ]Oh no, you found my greatest weakness, meta-based attacks just kidding that wasn't any more painful than normal[

-The other attacks do manage to knock him over toward the edge (not [Edge]) of the platform, and Volta does manage to paralyze it just before it transforms again, into a large [humanoid abomination] with armor that, although it's cracked, isn't cracked enough to pierce normally.-

Kaito: The Administrator!

▶▒ A▒: ]Thank you, Captain Obvious.[

-It starts aggressively slamming its arms down onto anyone who is close enough to reach, and sending shockwaves through the ground at those it can't.-

Spear Pillar(?)

(Belinda, who'd still been focused simply on dodging during the Bisharp phase, returns to her senses in time to see the Administrator.)

Belinda: Oh fuck no not this thing Guys, try to crack it open!

(The ensuing blasts of Dark and Psychic energy are delivered with considerable force across as wide a radius as possible, the aim being to shatter the Glitch!Administrator's already worn armour.)

Spear Pillar

-The pair of Ludmilla are shaken and jostled, but somehow managed to concentrate just enough to make the spacial equivalent of a pinprick in space-time.-

Ludmilla: Good thing this place is already really unstable...

-The pinprick doesn't last long - but it does last long enough.-

-A furry yellow hand tears through the hole and pulls itself through. It takes only a moment for the rest of the large Electivire to get through.-

-And once he's through, he falls upon the bait with starved determination.-

Oggie: <Ooooh, *snarf rip gulp* iz sooooo gut!>

-The taller of the Ludmilla waits a second for him to finish.-

Ludmilla: A-ten-shun!

-Oggie snaps to a salute.-

Oggie: <Commandant! Eez gut to see hyu again! Vhat vas dat vunderbar glitchy flesh?>

-Ludmilla points behind her.-

Ludmilla: The original. Go get it.

-Oggie's eyes light up like a child on their first Christmas morning.-

-Oggie soon goes bounding over people and Pokemon, aiming to take a bite out of one of those arms.-

-Meanwhile, small Ludmilla has reacquired some bait.-

Spear Pillar

Phaz is hurt by some of the Administrator's arms, parrying other with the First Page Sword. Cynthia's Wide Guard protected Phaz's mons from the Earthquake.

Phaz: RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! YOU HAVE A HUGE ARMOR, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS! RIP! AND! TEAR!

Despite being attacked, he continue attacking the Administrator's armor.

He's really pissed off.

Cynthia and compagny try helping the others, either by protecting them from incoming attacks, or by attacking the already-breached chestplate.

Cynthia tried Wide Guard Σ!

Ashley tried Shadow Ball γ!

Embry tried Stone Edge β!

Volta tried Thunder β!

-Pitch is struck by the Administrator(?) as they come barreling forth-

Pitch: <Mmm...>

-She then tries to Vine Whip the armor to try and crack it like the others are-

Spear Pillar

Kendall: {{We can't hurt that form! Defensive measures!}}

-They throws up a wall of ice. Everyone else gets the gist and throws up Protects-

Spear Pillar

Daydre and co. are jostled by the shockwave, though thankfully aren't within reach of the arms. Dolo punches up a wall of rock to to protect them a little.

Alana, meanwhile, is shaken out of her focus on the belt and back to her senses.

Alana: "Aaaaaahhhhh Cygno use Aqua Ring"

The Swanna nods and covers himself with a veil of water. The shockwaves still hits him, but doesn't do as much damage as it would have.
