-Ever's leap gives him a little time to grab a ball-
-there's a flash-
-and the oncoming stakes are shredded by a telekinetic force-
Ever: Much appreciated.
Breeze: <The pleasure is mine! I haven't gotten to fight anything in a while!
...So what are we fighting again?>
Ever: Jacob.
Breeze: <...Oh. Neat.>
-as Breeze continues shredding new spikes, Ever sends out Solace as well-
Solace: <Hello, what's going on?>
Ever: Friend of mine is a Glitch. We're gonna punch him.
Solace: <...I see.>
Ever: Hey, BISHARP! Can you get me back my arm?
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Megan: -to Silas, hissing- Yes! Don't say it!
Magikarp: <Gregor? It's me, Donnel!>
Pippy: <That's answer enough...>
Magikarp Donnel: <Do you know what in tarnation's goin' on?>
Megan: -coughs- I can answer that.
-she points at the sky, which is a giant rainbow fractal-
Donnel: <uhh...>
Megan: You probably fell here from your world to this one, since this one is experiencing...boundary issues.
Donnel: <Like...the Outrealms?>
Megan: Pretty much. Just...a lot farther removed. I don't think Henry could've done this.
Donnel: <...ah. But...you've heard of Ylisse? And you know us, and what the Outrealms are?>
Megan: -hesitantly- A...traveling bard, has spread a story of the Shepherds, I don't know how accurate it is for you. Apparently some others from what might be your world have come here as well, not just from Ylisse in your time. I didn't really, uh, listen to their stories, though.
Donnel: <Ah...>
-flops, uncomfortably- <Uh, but why am I a fish?>
Megan: ...

-Rend laughs as the spikes come up before him.-
-Oh, my, this means that for a split second, Chaos loses direct line of sight with Rend, doesn't it?-
-The spikes are not shattered. The Origin Pulse blasts thin air.-
-Where could he have gone?- REND BACKHAND used MAGNET RISE!
Rend Blackhand : < HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! >
-Rend's metal skin cackles with static as he now flies at Chaos, the metal teeth in his maw giving a devilish gleam.-
-Shaun enters the area where the Gudrunn thing happened.-
Shaun: "I-is it normally like this?"
-Of course, there's probably no one around to hear him.-
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"Nimbasa
-Chaos performs a truly unnecessary number of jumps and backflips as it anime retreats from Rend, throwing up large curved walls of stakes to cover its retreat-
-It will do anything to keep that maw away from it-
-As it moves back, it looks down at the hand flipping it off-
"You want this back??"
-It rears back with the arm-
-It catapults Ever's fae arm at Solace, the force of the throw harsh enough the wall of spikes it made shatters as does the asphalt below it-
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."Nimbasa
Rend Blackhand : < I smell... fear. >
-Rend flies through the tentacles with both Magnet Rise and his claws.-
Rend Blackhand : < How delicious. >
-An aura of Obscura covers him - a primed grenade ready to go off.-
- REND BLACKHAND used PURSUIT! -
-All it takes is a trigger.-
-"Homer is talking to a nurse while the wild cubone studys the coffee stand"-
Homer: Now, you're sure it's down there?
Friendly nurse: Positive. Oh also -points at cubone- if you'd like, your cubone can have a free drink.
Homer: Oh, yeah thanks -in his head- why does everyone think it's mine. -to cubone- oi, cubone, pick something to go.
Wild cubone :<Yah, Tapu coco, tapu coco>
Friendly nurse: good luck, come back any time. I'm usually here, we can talk... or you can talk... or I can talk, whatever.
Homer, confused: okay. Thanks for the help, take care.
-"Homer starts walking out with the wild cubone, happily carrying its topu coco"-
Nurse, nervously waving: Bye... -to self- smooth *groan*
-"Homer steps outside where an alolan rattata goes flying past"-
Homer: the hell?
Let's all have fun-as the arm approaches, it literally screeches to a halt as it enters Breeze's telekinetic barrier, the excess kinetic energy displaced in a wave that blasts up the snow on the ground-
Well, Jacob's clearly in there somewhere. Nobody else could be that needlessly anime.
-Ever grabs the arm, and reattaches it-
Okay, phone's gone. That's phase one. Phase two...what was phase two again?
Ever: Solace, Ice Beam!
Solace: <...Really? Okay.>
-she leaps onto the shattered spikes, a halo of glowing blue light arcing from her horn, and a crackling beam of blue lightning fires at Jacob-
Oh, right.
-he sends out Access amidst the flying snow and bits of Chaos and lasers, giving her a few whispered orders. She blinks, and darts off-
Man I hope phase two works.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Nimbasa
-Chaos whirls around and blocks the Ice Beam with a wall of stakes-
-And then glances to see Rend closing in-
"Tch... you can never catch-" -And it flash steps back-
-Rend instantly closes the gap and smashes into it-
-Chaos' eyes burn with hatred as a massive telekinetic wave spreads out over the area-
-All the stakes in the ground lift up and rain down on Ever and Co.-
-It also gives a very Mean Look to Access to petrify her with fear-
I just need to hit the boy once and I can retreat... but until then...
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."Nimbasa
-Feeding time.-
-Rend latches onto Chaos, bites onto his face.-
-Yes. The whole face. -
Access: <Don't worry your head, I'll be right back.>
-there's the sound of a lock clicking shut, and Access scampers away regardless-
-Ever, meanwhile, grabs Solace, and nudges Breeze. The Chimecho yanks the two into the air, and-
-a shield, part blue and translucent, part pitch-black and opaque, forms around the three, spikes shattering against it as it's driven into the ground-
Just need to hold out for a bit more...
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Maggie: "I... don't think Tagg'd appreciate that. Especially since he left me on read."
"That said..."
She begins typing a text.
Hey all, Maggie here. Gudrunn's got the Purple Sword and tried taking something else from me, so... yeah. Dunno what's up with her at the moment but for now I'm kinda hanging out... elsewhere... Yeah. Just a heads up!
From: Maggie
Yarne: <This is your idea of safe?>
Maggie: "Completely safe. Doubt she'll be able to get here unless she knows how to get to the moon."
Yarne: <...We're on the moon?!>
Maggie: "Eh, but, hey, it's pretty fitting for a Nido to be on the moon, if you ask me."

-Chaos wails in pain-
-It can't survive much more beyond a few seconds of this-
NO
-It had not suffered hundreds of defeats, at the hands of children, heroes, and gods, only to be beaten by a blue haired clown and a hunter-
-It had not come this far, this many times, only to lose-
-Out of Jacob pours a veritable tar field of Chaos ooze which rises up into a vaguely humanoid form-
-Which then lashes out with two large tendrils of tar, writhing and whipping-
-The air that passes by them as they move at Rend gouges out over a meter of concrete and asphalt, splitting electrical poles-
-A results of a direct strike from these does not need to be stated-
-The tar wells up on the ground around the entire area-
-A Latii shaped tar figure wells up near Ever-
-It's eyeless face gleams-
-There is a cacophony of noise in Ever's head as a brute force attempt to alter his mind goes through-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."Channah: -side-eyes both Tagg's Pokemon and the FE!mons while speaking to Tagg- I feel like a lot of people did that, but sure.
There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.Nimbasa
-Now with Glitchmatter digesting in his stomach, Rend shoots upward with a renewed Magnet Rise, this time going strictly vertical.-
-He doesn't speak. His focus becomes laser-tight.-
-Ever screams-
-ghosts pour out of him. Physical danger is exhilarating. A psychic assault is a risk to their persons-
-but the attack is not permitted without resistance-
Breeze: -teeth gritted, eyes shining like blue lamplights through the snow-cloaked battlefield- <Solace! Distract him!>
Solace: <...An excitingly lethal proposition.>
-the halo of light around her horn turns purple, and she lunges at the duplicate of Muninn, obscura building up on her claws as she slashes at its chest-
-meanwhile, Access returns, carrying a phone. As she enters the battlefield, pressing the power button, nothing happens-
Access: <...Crap. I need Cuseinga.>
-she darts over to Ever-
-and snags the Heliolisk's ball, darting out of combat again-
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Route 112, in front of the Mt. Chimney entrance
Muddy and Helios: -Both notice Channah looking at them and immediately drop the conversation-
Doc: -To Kaden- <Yeah, he was.>
-He the reveals the Pyukumuku underneath his hat-
That was after I'd taken my year off from training after going through Johto. Never again...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.Nimbasa
-Watching Rend and Access, as well as it's attempt to grab Ever fail and it's Muninn copy get rent in a single blow, Chaos withdraws immediately into Jacob's flesh-
"Tragedy I need to be NOT HERE"
-The air crackles and Jacob vanishes into a hole in reality-
-There is a beat of silence as part of a building crumbles into the street-
-Then laughter pools into the street-
"Find me again, oh great hunter. And you'll get one last shot at killing me."

Mira: ~Welp.~
The Moonblast is similarly dodged, and Herald retaliates with Fire Blast.
Chaline is hit by some of the Venoshock but not much. She retaliates with another Shadow Ball.
Unfortunately for Balmung, they're slow, even for a Honedge. Fortunately for Balmung, Zelretch is not, and he grabs Balmung and parries the Toxic, countering Gudrunn's Shadow Ball with his own.
Zelretch: "Balmung, lend me your aid."
Balmung: <As one, sir!>
Balmung wraps his tassel around Zelretch's arm, and Zelretch's eyes take on a faint purple glow.
He catches the edge of his jewel sword on the top of Mordekai, and with the help of pillars of ice under his feet, propels himself onto Mordekai. Assuming that his ice beam will knock Egghead out, he jumps down and combat rolls forwards, and, hopefully, standing up and sprinting at Gudrunn.
Of course, no plan survives contact with the enemy, so.
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.Route 112
-To Channah-
Not about my Johto journey, more like when I bothered to listen to my parents and take a year off from training afterwards and go back to school. It was hell.

-Rend lands on the ground.-
-He smiles, teeth gleaming with a moist eagerness.-
Rend: <Oh... my appetite is whetted with every escape you try to make...>
-He lets out a whistle as sharp as his claws, and the Salamence flies by. Rend leaps atop its back and is off again.-
Chacob: -A face emerges from the helmet- "Oh just try and kill me, hunter. See if it sticks!"
-It flails its hands up as stakes erupt out just in front of Rend to spear him and cut off his charge-
-They are presumably shattered through-
-Chaos/Jacob's arms shudder, and turn into large leviathan fins and blue orbs of light spark up around it-
-Back with Ever, stakes shatter through the horizontal spikes he pushed off of and then they start growing at him again-
-Now with fire-
