Mt. Moon

Red interposes herself between a Psycho cut and Eris, throwing up her arms to protect her face.

She retaliates with another Dark Pulse.

Lifthrasir prepares a protect barrier in case the next one *isn't* psychic.

Deep Mt Moon

-Despite taking the hit, Pent has not actually made any moves to attack so far. He seems... Hesitant. He's just hiding in the abundant dark pondering deeply what level of force to wield against it-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Deep Mt. Moon

-the Hypnosis completely misses-

-The sheer volume of attacks leads to a few more hits though-

Voyd: ~...You... Me... MINE!~

-a Shadow Claw lunges out of the darkness at Vierr-

-And Tagg-

-And Gabrielle-

-And Daydre-

-And anyone else with Z-Crystals on them-

Me: This isn't getting us ANYWHERE!!!

Piku-chan! Use Thunderbolt!

Piku-chan: <You got it, pal!>

-Piku-chan jumps into the air, surrounds himself in lightning and fires bolts of lightning in all directions-

Me: I hope one of those bolts actually HITS!

-suddenly, I see Shadow Claws jutting out from the darkness at everyone else-

Me: Huh?

Maverick turns and attacks again.

Maverick: <GRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH>

Mischief continues to launch Dark Pulses from various angles.

Shadow: Keep it up you two! Whatever this thing is, it can't fight forever!

-Isbrand, through some form of intution, realizes Gabrielle is in danger.-

Isbrand: "Look out!"

-She shoves Gabrielle out of the way and gets a Shadow Claw to the chest.-

-Bad news: She's on the ground, bleeding.-

-Good news: Her armor helped soften the blow and she has all 3 limbs still.-

-She'll probably get up.-

Gabrielle: "Isbrand!"

-She crouches down and feels her way over to the prone woman, rapier held defensively.-

Zelel: "Search results: positive. Analyzing entries on Necrozma, cross-referencing earlier keywords."

"Results found. Observation: Necrozma appears to be related to Z-Crystals. Z-Crystals store large amounts of energy. Hypothesis: Necrozma wants the Z-Crystals. Recommended action:"

Give them to him.

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Deep Mt. Moon, VS Necrozma

Me: Z-Crystals? What are Z-Crystals?

Mt. Moon

-Ducks from the Shadow Claw as Tyto fires a Spirit Shackle arrow at Necrozma-

It wants the Z-Crystals, probably so that it can regain its true form.

Don't let them grab you!

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Mt. Moon

Eris does not in fact have Z-crystals on her.

Red fires another Dark Pulse.

Lif continues preparing for an attack that has yet to come.

Eris: "I dislike this thing."

Armando: <Jackson, it's over. I don't have any projectiles except confuse ray, and with our luck that'll hit a friend rather than foe. There's nothing we can do. Let's flee.>

Silversmith: "No, damn it! I gave my word!"

Armando: <To who?>

Silversmith: "Me!"

Armando: <Ok, so we sit here and die for no one?>

Silversmith: "No. If we stay, we might find it. If we find it, we might confuse it. If we confuse it, it might hit itself."

Armando: <How many mights was that? Three?>

Silversmith: "Yes! But I've already fled twice! I'm not going while I still have mons standing! ...Floating!"

Armando pretended to be knocked out.

Armando: <Oh no, I've been knocked out! We had better run!>

Silversmith: "Ha ha. Get up and help me think of some way to contribute."

Armando: <Was that a were-mon I saw?>

Silversmith: "WHERE!? ...You're a douche. We need to talk about this later."

Mt. Moon

Channah: -to Eris- It's kind of annoying, yeah. -watches as others are attacked by Shadow Claws, then shrugs- Uh... Kandace, just.

Kandace: <...> -leaps forward with a Crunch-

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

Vierr: Wha— hey!

-Vierr, being one of the couple individuals who can actually see Voyd, manages to avoid getting a big shadowy gash in his chest.-

Vierr: What the hell?

Khoshekh: <Noooo.>

-A Signal Beam shoots at the Necrozma. Also probably a bunch of other attacks and banter happen but let's just narrow it down for the time being.-

Halsei immediately notices the Shadow Claw lunging from the shadows at a good chunk of the group, though not noticing any sort of other appendage being used for it.

Halsei: <...Argh, c'mon...>

They're getting a bit frustrated, not noticing any openings still, holding their Defense Curl for the time being.

Mt. Moon

Ever: Solace. Are you ready?

Solace: (coming out of a Swords Dance) <We can't see the thing.>

Ever: Admittedly, no. The person I'd like here is Amanita. But we have options.

Solace: <Such as?>

Ever: My other cat.

-there's a low whistle, and then a thump like a very small, contained sonic boom, as if a Meowstic had been using Calm Mind for a little while and then attacked at fairly highly boosted strength-

Ephemera used Stored Power!

Ever: It's a shame Breeze isn't here. It would be nice to try and open some sort of dialogue. But I don't think all this chaos exactly lends itself to diplomacy.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Deep Mt. Moon, VS Necrozma

Me: Well, whatever a Z-Crystal is, Necrozma wants them...

Piku-chan: <...and since you don't have ANY...>

Me: Necrozma's Shadow Claw didn't target me...

Raru: <But what do we do?>

Me: I have a plan...

Piku-chan... I want you to use Flash again...

Piku-chan: <Why? It failed the last time I used it...>

Me: I know... Maybe we can use this to our advantage...

Piku-chan: <How?>

Me: In the small window of time that the light is there, we will be able to see Necrozma... and at the exact moment that the light disappears, Yuki will unleash an Ice Beam at Necrozma, Miyako can use her Astonish and Raru's Hypnosis might ACTUALLY have a chance of hitting Necrozma!

Piku-chan: <That's brilliant!>

Me: Let's do this! Piku-chan! Use Flash!!

-Piku-chan rubs his cheeks and creates a spark, which then bursts into a bright light, illuminating the cave-

-In the split second that the light is there, then I look to see Necrozma-

-Just then, the light disappears-

Me: -I point to where I saw Necrozma- NOW!!!!!

- Yuki fires a freezing ray of energy in the direction of where I pointed-

- Miyako flew to where I pointed and lets out a chilling scream-

-Raru's eyes glow a bright pink as he sends soothing waves of energy in the direction of where I pointed-

-Raru waves his cute little arms in circles as he stares in the direction I pointed towards-

Raru: <You are getting sleeeeeeepyyyy.... sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepyyyyyyyyy...>

Me: Raru... Stand down...

Raru: <Huh?>

Me: I'm sorry about what I must do... but your Hypnosis isn't going to work...

Raru: <Wha-? Is that so?>

Me: It's true...

-I take a Poké Ball off my belt-

Me: Your Hypnosis isn't going to hit anything in this darkness...

-I begin to cry-

Me: I'm sorry...

Raru: <I understand...>

-I heartbrokenly call Raru back to his Poké Ball-

-Lucius, seeing that his team is not in immediate danger, starts instead focusing on using his torn sleeve to tie a makeshift bandage around his wounded arm.-

Lucius: Diplomacy, huh...

-He uses his good arm to send out Maul.-

Maul: ~Greetings from the Astral Plane.~

Lucius: Maul, keep an ear out. Poke around in that thing's head if you can and try to figure out what it wants. Halsei, you doing okay?

Castle Lycanrow, Vent Passage - Day 2

-Alice puts a finger to her earbud to respond to Murphy.-

Alice: I'm just glad that you are still safe and able to communicate. If anything, I should apologise for placing you in this situation due to my own lack of caution. Evading the guards I can handle; I simply need you to tell me where to go. As for the internet, this building is hundreds of years old, likely shot through with lead and asbestos, and only recently fitted with wireless networks.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Halsei eases up a bit, looking over at Lucius.

Halsei: <Yeah, I'm fine... just can't find any openings to do, well, anything, really. I'll keep watching, though.>

They still seem quite tense, though, immediately looking back over where the attacks have been coming from after speaking their mind, but not without quietly adding one extra note.

Halsei: <...If only I was a bit stronger...>

Deep Mt Moon

-Pent takes a deep breath and watches the flashing light of attacks clash in the darkness. In his mind, he's trying to picture a certain book to focus his hopeful idea...-

Necrozma, the demon that feeds upon light...

-He retrieves something from his bag, an old Sinnoh disc with TM 70 labelled on it and a small pokeball with a representation of an atom drawn on it... He applies the TM to the pokeball and smiles softly-

If you wish to devour light and plunge the world in darkness...

-There is a brief flash of light as the pokeball opens and there's some sort of cream-colored pokemon in Pent's arms now-

Then either eat your fill and calm or choke on overwhelming power. Ur, maximum strength Flash!

-Suddenly, all at once, there is light-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Deep Mt. Moon

By some miracle Daydre has managed to not get hit by any attacks until now by just fumbling around in the darkness. Unfortunately for her, now attacks are being specifically aimed at her, which makes things. Difficult.

"I'm trying!!" She yells at Tagg while attempting to not get Clawed. Think, think.. what's an attack that's not gonna miss in this darkness... !! Daydre grabs a ball off her belt and sends out Sylvie.

"Yo, use Magical Leaf!"

Sylvie salutes and summons some shimmering leaves. The leaves shoot off into the shadows, hopefully homing in on Voyd.

-Suddenly, my Pokémon and I feel a warm glow-

-Several things happen at once-

-The Spirit Shackle hits, doing decent damage and trapping Voyd on the battlefield-

-Piku-Chan's flash allows his companions to hit-

-Sylvie's magical leaf hits but doesn't do much-

-Then all of a sudden Ur's Flash goes off and Voyd is stunned - and exposed-

Voyd: ~Yes... YES!~

-Hyper Voice! Astral is shaken even though the attack didn't do anything to them-

Astral: <Aaaa! It's coming for me!>

-they attempt to hide under their wings in the nearest corner-

Fortis: C'mon Minty! We need to keep Astral safe!

Noelle: Yeah! Let's go, Cait!

Minty: <Stand aside, fiend! You shall not harm the star child!>

Caitsidhe: <Yeah! Wait, why can't I see anything?>

Noelle: Aim for where the voice is coming from!

Caitsidhe: <Got it!>

-Caitsidhe launches a Moonblast toward Voyd's general position, and Minty follows it with a Brave Bird-

-a few Psycho Cut blades pass by, none of them hitting-

-then, claw swipe! Fortis ducks out of the way, keeping her Flynium Z close-

Minty: <Don't touch her, dishonorable cur!>

-causing Minty to retaliate with another Brave Bird-

-then suddenly, the cavern fills with light! Noelle shields her eyes-

Fortis: Oh my gosh!

Noelle: Ack! No wonder they call it the Blinding One.

Caitsidhe: <Hey, I can see again!>

Astral: <No... NO!>

Noelle: Go for it! We need to keep this thing away from Astral!

Caitsidhe: <Got it~>

-and he launches another Moonblast, this one aimed properly-

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Silversmith shielded his eyes.

Silversmith: "I told you! Now's your chance! Use confuse ray!"

Armando: <I'm telling you, there's no chance!>

Silversmith: "Open fire!"

Armando used confuse ray, but it fizzled before even reaching the halveway point to Necrozma.

Silversmith: "Get closer!"

Armando: <You first.>

Silversmith saw Necrozma in all of its glory.

Silversmith: "Good point."
