Hae-Won looks at Tagg after having gotten a ball, unsure what Tokarev means.

Akravator: <Hey, you're the bad guy. He's the good guy. There's some stuff going on beyond that probably, but that's ultimately what's important!>

-Kai grins at Lita.-

Kai: You absolutely did say that out loud. Thank you~

-She winks at Lita. Nix would roll her eyes if bird eyes were capable of rolling, but they're not.-

Nix: -to Nero- <Really, you could march right on up to her and start hitting on her and it would probably go somewhere.>

Kai: Nix.

Nix: <Anyway, we met because she lived in Ecruteak, my dad watches over the city, her Flygon has rainbow stuff, a whole bunch of stuff kinda slotted together. She's actually really cool when she's not being like this~>

Kai:Nix!

-Nix gives her an innocent look.-

Kai: Ahem, anyway, no, I wasn't doing research. I was just working on Frontier battle planning and stuff.

 Lab Raid left path, past 

-Is not fully paying attention to what's going on-

A monster... that's what I am no matter how I try to pretend... They'll leave the moment they find out

Anatoly: -To the other mons- <Hmph, you're not even half the mons we fought in Orre.>

Tokarev: I haven't created much, but not murdering you in Orre almost 15 years ago Richard worked out in a way, would've been far less interesting for me otherwise, even if our last meeting did have me... lose all these parts. I still need to pay you back for that though.

-To Finnegan, mostly ignoring everyone else-

Ah, the Auric Killer, fancy meeting you here, it would appear that I'm in good company amongst killers. It's a shame that we're standing on opposite sides though.

-Noticing Channah's reaction to him-

So... one of you does know, not that it matters, as you all will be very dead soon. You must mean something to him, take comfort in that in your final moments. Anatoly!

Anatoly: <Delicious morsels, all of you! Your broken bodies will make fine sustenance for Lev and myself!>

-Activates Sand Stream, coating the area in a blinding sandstorm, as he unleashes a massive Earthquake-

Battle! VS Tokarev!

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Apparently the audible yell was so loud it reached Leo.

Leo: *hears the yell, which makes him jump a bit*

Cerbeau: <Huh. Someone got lost in Castelia.> *unsurprised* <He must be new.>

Automa: *shudders a little in his Ball*

Rabbid Leo just comes out and hugs his human counterpart's leg.

[insert something relating to myself here]

Hacks sits up in a instant, and tosses Tae the scarf, ~We're following it. No waiting... Now.~

Tae sighs and pulls on the scarf, in his place a tall man of descent from the Hoenn region appears, his hair is slicked back into a ponytail, his eyebrows are thick and he has a pointed beard on his face, his outfit is a blue jacket with a black hoodie underneath with a large collar, he's wearing orange gloves, his pants are black and he's wearing what appear to be orange hiking shoes.

"Huh, this is what I look like as a human."

Hacks ahemed and got his attention, ~Let's get going!~

"Right. Pollen, lead the way."

Dean smirks, "Killer? Pal I'm more than just a killer, I would qualify for a supervillain under the right circumstances. Now. Let's stop wasting time. You clearly want to kill us. So go ahead, try."

Revolver facepalms at this.

Megan: Ahh. Well, let's go look for it, it might still be there.

-she starts heading back-

Igor! <ACK!>

-already Magnet Risen, he desperately Protects Dr. Ironspine (and himself) from the brunt of the devastatingly poor matchup against the already powerful Earthquake-

-his bubble is battered backwards, threatening to break-

Igor: <U-urkk...not good, not good...>

Dr. Ironspine: -still monologuing, heedless of the terrible, terrible danger- <Yesss, I'd like to show you what utter FOOLS you are, dismissing me...>

-she levels her odd hand-railgun, seething with a violent red aura, at the heart of the sandstorm-

<To teach you IRRELEVANCE! And fear!! True FEAR!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!>

-and through it, fires a crackling metal spike-

DR. IRONSPINE used Iron Head!

Megan: Well, duh! Pollen, let's go!

Pollen: <Right!>

-and they rush off, in the direction of the vine-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Shinobi: <Oh really?>

-Shinobi leaves the Grass Knot and dashes for the Shade, attempting to run up it's side and slash along the runes while it's disoriented and slowed down by the now lifeless, but no less sturdy vines-

Down: <Tch, of course your "wolves" are Mightyena...>

-The bird's eyes flash as she targets one with a Miracle Eye-

<Don't suppose you lot speak moneese, or [language], or anything besides gowling?>

-The aquariums and terrariums are rocked by the Earthquake, panicking the mons inside-

-Mia is completely unfazed and lunges at Tokarev himself with a Night Slash-

Jean: Shaun! Get the fuck back he-

-the Earthquake hits-

-This dislodges several Pokeballs from their perches, releasing the Shadows inside-

-It also causes Jean to stumble and drop the two balls from the center pedestals she was attempting to grab-

-From the Beast Ball emerges a massive Shadow Stakakata, who looms and advances twoard the party...-

-Only for them to recoil in horror upon spotting the contents of the Lure Ball-

-A Shadow Horsea-

-The other Shadows in the room have a similar reaction, as does the scientist, inadvertently knocking other Shadows loose and repeating the pattern, blocking off the exit-

Scientist: No! Subject D-776... I tried to warn-

-They're interrupted by the Horsea Hydro Pumping them into a wall with a sickening crack-

Jean: ...Fuck.

Subject D-776:    <I... I AM BETRAYAL!>   

-the Weed Team is in shock-

Setsuna: <That's... That's...>

Azama: <It can't be...>

Nero: Legendary, huh, umu? Say... Can you help me, umu?

Alli: What kind of notes?

Contact Me!

Mandrake: <Ha! Now, with a clear shot...>

He shoots a Moonblast at the runes.

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Dean is unaffected, he instead lets Mia go ahead.

Jimmy and his active team look at all this, "Oh dear."

The Silas Team follows close behind, Tae smirking a bit, "So this is what human locomotion feels like."

Channah, Dolabella, and Lo were buffeted by the sandstorm!

Lo: -avoids the earthquake and nabs Channah right away, pulling her above it- <Can't see. That power...>

Channah: Well shit. -grapples, then climbs aboard Lo and blindly takes out a ball, sending out Mari- Mari, uh, fuck. Surf.

Mari: -trips on the uneven ground but gets to her feet, immediately rising on a wave that rolls toward the enemy- <Hyaah~!>

-Nino and Legault help gather balls until the earthquake hits, sending them flying-

Nino: Aaaah!! -falls backward hard and scrambles away from the Shadow Ultra Beast- What... what is that?!

Legault: -regains his footing faster and crouches, sword drawn as a Shadow Pokémon materializes in front of him- ...

-it's a male Weavile, big and tough-looking. Its voice sounds like a serial killer in a trance-

Shadow Weavile: <   ... Hurricane... You betrayed the Black Fang... You know the price.   >

Legault: -stops in his tracks- <Not - Angel of Death? You can't be - >

-they begin to fight, Legault barely rolling out of the way of the Angel of Death's much faster onslaught of Night Slashes and trying to retaliate, but only losing ground-

Legault: Gh! Nino-!

Angel of Death: <   The penalty for traitors is death...   >

Nino: -stares at the Stakataka, then raises her arm in front of her, casting Elfire at it-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Finnegan raises his arms and shakes his head.

Finnegan: Aye, to be sure. Maybe if events turned out differently, I coulda worked with ya' back in Cipher - but I decided to go solo instead - before Interpol picked me up of course~

Two chords whip out from his wrist and latch onto the ceiling as Finnegan smirks at Tokarev.

Finnegan: Still. I look forward to seeing what you can do!!

Finnegan yanks himself up the the ceiling. Almost immediately as Finnegan draws up, Fionn fires a Fire Blast at Tokarev while the rest of his team prepare for a barrage.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

-A vague apology is heard in the distance. The ten Mons slide into the room.-

Cereza: <Can't even start with some pillow talk, boys?>

-She sends out Celena.-

Cereza: <Sweetheart, could you teach that oversized rock some manners?>

Celena: <On it!}

-SUPLEX TIME-

Morgan: <That Horsea's scary...>

Jakob: <We can handle them! Leaf Blade, now!>

-The Auras of all the Eeveelutions glow as seven of them give the Leafeon a Helping Hand. The Grass-type fox rushes forward, head leaf glowing.-

Laurent: "Takumi? The mythical Hoshidian prince, or just coincidence?"

Sumia: <Laurent, can we just focus on taking him down?>

Laurent: "Of course."

-He swings his Levin Sword, sending an arc of elecricity at Takumi, while Sumia rushes at Takumi, readying a Leaf Blade of her own.-

---

-Jessica, Fluffles, and Achille reel from the Earthquake and sandstorm, the latter less so than the other two.-

Fluffles: <I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson!>

Achille: <Shall we?>

Jessica: "...You don't scare me."

-She shifts to Vulpix form and assumes a combat stance in front of Tagg.-

Yeah, that's right! I'm countering with our battle themes!

...our?

You'll see.

-Fluffles and Jessica shoot Embers at each other, activating their Flash Fires.-

The power of Fluffles' Fire-type moves was boosted by 50%!

The power of Jessica's Fire-type moves was boosted by 50%!

Jessica: <Time to grill some Tyranitar steak!>

-Achille takes a deep breath, his face assuming an expression of both anger and tranquility as he Hones his Claws.-

Shaun: "Faster!"

Ace: <I hope they're okay...>

-Lucina looks around, worried.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

 Lab Raid left path, past 

Arundi: -Lets themselves out of their Beast Ball and creates a Wide Guard to block against the Earthquake- {Is Tagg okay?>

-Is still reeling-

Muddy: <Tagg, if you don't snap out of it these guys are dead! We're the only ones here who know how dangerous they really are!>

-To the others-

<Guys, stop him!>

Tokarev: -Smirks-

Lev: -Weaves through the moves fired by the other mons, briefly grabbing Ali and throwing him into Tyto and Lucani, bowling all three mons over, before slamming into Muddy and the two roll across the battlefield, trading pecks and Ice Punches-

Anatoly: -Uses Protect briefly with one arm to deflect the metal bolt back at its sender and absorb some other attacks, though Hitodama does manage to get a Will O' Wisp in, before attempting to Thunder Punch Mia into Flonn's Fire Blast-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Channah: Damn. Least the crazy guy finally came. -drops to the floor again, freeing Lo. In the meantime, she takes out a ball and sends out Thierry and Montanari-

Channah: -watching the Flash Fires, and then Anatoly- Eh... Lo, go mess with 'em. You too, kiddo.

Lo: -dives recklessly toward Anatoly's side and uses Reversal-

Thierry: -slips a Forest's Curse in the Tyranitar's direction-

Montanari: -adjusts his tie- <Terrible business... You are unharmed?>

Channah: For now, yeah. Just FYI, we might die.

Montanari: <Ah, all of your paperwork is accounted for as of February 2018, I assure you. But thank you for your consideration.> -shuffles to sit in front of Channah-

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-the bolt slams into her, smashing a few miscellaneous devices-

Dr. Ironspine: -almost getting the wind knocked out of her- <GAH!>

<Wh-why you...INSOLENT! Igor!>

Igor: -staring fearfully at the display of power and skill- <Y-yeth, mathter...>

-he grabs her and charges her and her remaining devices up with a Thunder Punch Grab-

Dr. Ironspine: <You can fight US, but can you fight...YOUR OWN NERVOUS SYSTEM?!?>

-she aims with the wind, firing a heavy cloud of itchy, metallic grit into the Sandstorm-

DR. IRONSPINE used Tickle!

<Face a most DREADFUL sensation! Try to focus with THIS in your eyes! Or elsewhere, mucking up your senses, HAH!>

Igor: -subtle-flatly, beneath the panic- <Truly, your geniuth ith unparallelled...>

---

-one Exalt arrives on the scene, noticing first a bunch of mons and scientists cowering from a small, terrifying...horse sea-

Chrom: <Gods, what's happening...?>

-he Focuses his Energy and joins the fray-

Megan: C'mon, faster, faster...

-she sends out Tripod and hops on them, gesturing for the rest of the search squad to join her-

No mind to think. No will to break.

Artoria: "We got the -"

Mordred: "Uh, no, what's that and what's developing it?"

Severa: <Sounds bad.>

F!Robin: "Um."

She's currently holding a pokeball and just staring at the Shadow Horsea.

"Hector, Solar Blade. Mira, Future Sight. Sigurd, Dragon Claw."

Morgan and Cynthia, having been exploring a side room, come running, Morgan holding the tome he picked up earlier.

Given the opponent, probably not his smartest move, not that he knows that.

Morgan: "Hopefully this isn't some mythical tome that belongs to some mage's bloodline and only they can wield it like Falchion is...

"... Not that I can use it in the first place because I don't even know the activation phrase."

Morgan: :|

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

EMPEROR has been uncharacteristically silent this whole time, but he is still in fact here.

Marco eventually falls silent again, and eventually what Nelly said registers.

Marco: <Oh. Where are my manners. Hello.> He says, in a tone somehow both devoid of emotion and dripping with sarcasm.

off the shits

Finnegan swings to the top of a pipe as he begins contemplating to himself.

Finnegan: Drat. My kit is made for dealing with Aurics, not cyborgs. And any potential use most of my toys would have would have detrimental effects on any Auric fucker in the room, like ol' deerling-in-headlights leader boy o'er there,

Finnegan rummages through his pockets and brings out something similar to the orange marble he brought out earlier, but this one is more bone or dumbbell-esque in shape and a glimmery black colour.

Finnegan: These lil' tricks may be useful, though...

Meanwhile, the mixture of Fionn's flames and the sand creates glass shards that scatter upon the floor. Getting an idea, Tlachtga picks them up using Psychic and begins firing them at Lev like a gatling gun.

Gráinne, as feverishly as she attacked the Chandelure earlier, charges towards Anatoly with sadistic glee as she intends to strike him with a Leaf Blade.

Gráinne: <And I shall take pleasure in carving you up into a thousand pieces and dining on the flesh inside your rocky exterior! Teehee~>

Seeing Grainne charge at Anatoly, Connla gets excited and starts bouncing (as much as an Escavalier can bounce)

Connla: <Ooh! Ooh! I can help out too!>

With that, Connla begins charging at Anatoly with a Megahorn (although... he isn't the fastest bug there is)

Cormac says nothing, but buffs up with a Swords Dance.

Cathbad fires a Will-o-Wisp at Lev to match him up with Anatoly's burn

Alyesha - who seemed to shortly have dazed out - quickly got the bill to the two, notably, it was quite a bit smaller than one would expect fropm all that food

Alyesha: "There you go~"

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Lila looked at the bill.

Lila: Are you sure this was added up correctly? It's awfully cheap!

-to Logan and his mons- What do you mean? That sounds kinda creepy.

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.

-With every attack that lands, more of the runes darken-

Nier:<Weiss, now!>

Weiss:Gladly.

-Weiss flashes as Nier holds out a paw, a collection of dark red/black lances surrounding him, then joining into one large lance-

Nier:<Take...this!>

-Which he then hurls at the monster, spearing it though the back of it's mouth, and carrying it until it is pinned to the closest mountain, where it finally dissolved-

-Why the runes then?-

-Well, that's all that's left of the bridge, twitching every once and a while-

-The Mightyena don't seem to acknowledge Down's question.-

-One is send flying by the Metal Claw with a yelp of pain while Kainé delivers a Slash to another-

-The Rock Slide hurts the remaining two, one on it's last legs, but just seems to make them perturbed-

-If any words come through, it's these-

<Food><pain><hunger><hunt><trespasser><kill>

-Nix tries to flare up dramatically. In Pidgey form, she just looks really poofy.-

Nix: <I am the daughter of the patron Legendary of good fortune! Of course I'd be happy to help~ What with?>

Kai: Oh, you know, strategy and all that. It's a lot less interesting on paper than in action.

Lita leans down at the notebook.
