Ultra Badlands

Misaki: "Brenda!"

Brenda: "On it!"

-She releases multiple unspecified Nurse Joy-assistant type mons such as Blissey and Comfey, who aim Heal Pulses at La and Ian.-

---

Zelel: " Shield fuel depleted. Railgun charged. Remaining cannons primed."

Isbrand: "Clear a path! Luca!"

---

Luca: "Come on, mi soldatos! Make our Dona proud!"

-Luca's battalion Mafia soldiers take aim at the Demon Tide and launch ranged attacks, stronger mons forming a defensive wall. Luca smirks at Lydia.-

Luca: "Ready?"

Lydia: <Let's do it!>

-Luca brandishes the Sword of Luck and Pluck, a glowing Key Stone embedded in the pommel.-

Luca: "I HAVE THE POWER!"

Lydia Mega-Evolved into Mega-Lopunny!

Luca channels his blood pact! Luca enters his Magical Guy form!

Luca: "DEMON RED OVERDRIVE!"

Overdrive! Twilight's Kiss became Midnight's Bite! The Sword of Luck and Pluck became the Keyblade of Skill and Will!

-Luca grips his twin keyblades, swords coated in red Aura.-

Luca: "Your next line is-!"

---

-Jessica retreats on Fluffles' back, going on the defensive.-

-Shaun falls back to Elizabeth.-

Shaun: "Had any luck with Constructs yet?"

Elizabeth: "Not much! But if you do..."

-She offers her dagger.-

Lyra: <Think you can keep up?>

Manifest Keyblades: Apollo's Sun and Artemis's Moon!

Umbral Art: Manifest Keyblade - Phantasmal Fury!

-In Lyra's...hands(?), two keyblades - a bright pink, solar-themed one, and a deep pink, lunar-themed one.-

-In Shaun's hand, around Elizabeth's silver dagger, a shimmering gray, double-headed keyblade.-

Beowoulf: <Of course. Cereza?>

Cereza: <Shall we?>

Manifest Keyblade: Knight's Oath!

Lunar Art: Manifest Keyblade - Ruler's Requiem!

-Beowulf's sword construct comes to resemble a two-handed greatsword, a shield-shaped pommel and a razor-toothed edge.-

-Cereza's wooden sword glows with purple Psychic Aura, the musical keyblade based after a certain Warlord's.-

Shaun: "Shall we dance, demons?"

Stormchaser Meeting Room

-Ian and Evelyn listen in on the plan-

Me: That's AWFUL!!

Evelyn: I'll say... And I shudder to think of what might happen next...

Me: Shudder no more, friend... After all...

-Ian digs through his backpack, looking for something-

A wise man once said "The only thing necessary for the Triumph of evil is that good people do nothing".

-Ian pulls the hat of his witch costume out of his backpack-

Evelyn: That hat... Are you a witch?

-Hatty facepalms-

Hatty: <Seriously Evelyn? You don't go asking people if they are witches!>

Me: Actually, I was for Halloween. That, too, is a long story... But I'm sure I have some red fabric left, so I can... Aha!

-Ian pulls a sewing kit, some red fabric and white fluff out of his backpack-

Me: What the-?! Where'd this come from?

Piku-chan: <We got it for free with the colored fabric you bought when you made your birdstyle.>

Me: And you didn't tell me then, why exactly?

Piku-chan: <Plot convenience.>

Me: Can't argue with that...

Evelyn: So what do we do now?

Me: Ha ha... Now?

-Ian takes a threaded needle into his right hand and scissors into his left, looking over the witch's hat like a surgeon on the brink of insanity-

Me: Let's go save Christmas!

-Ian makes his scissors go "snip snip" and then gets to work-

♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...

Amarin House

-Pent wanders in with the Festive Oven in tow and the Snom perched in his hat-

Stormchaser Meeting

Susan: Okay small question, which team best fits someone with say, two not super battle-trained Pokemon and doesn't do much personal combat?

Latias: And I'll be on the same team.

Ultra Badlands, standing in a shadow

Oh! Yeah okay that's really good do that.

-Pent does a thumbs-up and smiles-

One man and his mons against the last resort of the bad guys. An excellent story.

Ultra Badlands, out on the field

-With the horn sounded and his own mood bolstered, Tibalt looked out over the heroic battle and sighed happily-

The Wight: Tibbers, my man.

-Tibalt turned quick, scowling and pointing his golden sword-

Tibalt: You.
The Wight: Hey hey, I'm just here to say that I gotta bounce just in case they actually break out cous. Wanted to check in and see if you wanted a Keyblade.
Tibalt: You are known for your costs. Like an old demon.
The Wight: Wow, tad dramatic for a dude from Sydney.
Tibalt: I took Drama as an elective.
The Wight: Anyway it's a freebie. Besides if you get 'over' I might not turn you back into Lucian after this. Toodles!

-Before Tibalt can really snark back, he blinks and the figure in white is gone. In it's place is a gleaming white keyblade hovering in the air-

Tibalt: Rule three; never take a sword as a gift.

-He takes a breath to calm down and turns his back on the blade, instead facing the Tide-

Tibalt: They've got this, I can rest.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Ultra Badlands

-Aspen sent out Carbunkle-

Carbuncle:<Need some calming Asp-> -Carbuncle noticed the Ultra La- <OMG WHAT IS THAT!?>

Me: "I have no idea but we must defeat it somehow."

-Aspen grabbed her Pokėdex-

Pokėdex: "Ultra Nercrozma, the Prism Pokėmon. A Psychic and Dragon type. When a Necrozma has absorbed overwhelming light energy, it tranforms into this. It fires lazer beams from all over it's body.

<Sounds extremely strong.>

"Alright let's do this! Use Shadow Ball!"

-Carbuncle opens her mouth and a forms a ball of shadows. She takes aim at Ultra La and fires-

stormchaser meeting

Lila: I'd rather not see that other presentation...

Hazel: I'll help the distraction people. I've learned quite a bit from my year here- hey!

-Evo snatches Hazel's phone and sets it to start playing Mariah Carey's "all I want for Christmas is you".-

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

Ultra Badlands

-The Demon Tide takes more damage, and forms a sphere of Sableye around the Obsura orb in midair-

Okay, time for a potentially dumb idea.

Draca!

-Hops upon the Salamence's back and takes off, forming a double sided Aura spear construct-

Demon Tide: -Roars as it strikes out with more tendrils-

Draca: -Bobs and weaves through them, using Dragon Pulse on a couple-

-Whirls the spear construct around, using Aura Sense to slice where the Obscura bonds are weakest, before stabbing at the Obscura orb-

Helios: -Uses Solarbeam to vaporize enough Sableye to reveal the Obscura orb further-

Wanderer: -Unleashes chains of light from the Elemental Sword that wrap around and bind the Obscura orb, as the Sableye struggle to get out of it-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Stormchaser, Snom

Mia: <Sounds fake but okay.>

Ultra Badlands

-The Heal Pulses help La immesurably-

Ultra La: ~Wow, tha-~

-Dark Pulse-

-To Aspen- ~Ow, hey! Cheri's gone! I'm on your side now!~

-Sends a Photon Geyser at the core regardless-

---

Arctozolt: <Yeah I don't like the Izaya regime... The sooner you J-Team can stop him the better!>

-takes a badge off his person-

<Think you can get your friends over there with this? Please don't tell them I sent you.>

Ultra Badlands, Demon Tide

The Obscura Orb, exposed, acts as a sort of beacon.

Most of Colton's party with projectiles fire them at the orb as best they can, save for Colton and Sylveon, the former of who who once again sends out a remote Night Slash.

The latter, upon hearing Merlin's request, used Wish and Baton Pass.

Persephone

"Mobility's fine with me," Colton said as he raised his hand.

Kai: Yeah, that's what I was hoping. After all that everyone has been through this year, I was hoping we'd all have that chance to wind down.

-They spot Pent out of the corner of their eye, and wave, grinning.-

Ultra Badlands

-To La- "Oh sorry, it's been awhile since I haven't done anything."

-Aspen looked to see people and Pokėmon fighting a core-

'I guess we're fighting that core. I don't know why but ok.'

"Alright Carbuncle, use Shadow Ball on the core!"

Carbuncle:<No idea what I'm fighting against but ok Aspen.>

-Carbuncle releases a Shadow Ball from her mouth at the core-

He could see the three Pokémon run around him as they spoke, obviously more than happy to have found another player

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

Alli: Yeah... Hopefully next year is less hectic than the past two.

"-In what has been a stunning turn of events, the Interpol Special Response Unit has completely defused a terrorist situation here at Watanabe Plaza. Earlier this evening a terrorist group invaded the building site in a unknown raid on the tower, severely injuring several civilians. The response effort was lead by a Captain Hudson, who took the special response unit through a underdeveloped section still under construction."

The camera followed the host over to several police units in kevlar body armor, the man in the front had a gold stripe across his vest, and next to him was a Magnezone and a Arcanine, "Captain Hudson!"

The man turned around and saw the cameras, he rolled his eyes a bit and then proceeded to speak, "Please, call me Kevin."

"Kevin, this was a difficult and stressful situation for many, how did you handle it?"

"By the book, precision, speed, and decisiveness. They had counted on us to do a few things a certain way as well, thankfully I've seen Die Hard enough times, it's my daughter's favourite movie, so I knew what to expect."

He scratched behind the ears of the Arcanine, as the Interview continued, "And the amount of force you used, a few called being hit with a tackle attack or a beanbag round a bit excessive"

"Nobody under my watch died, we got in and out and made sure everyone was safe. We're not butchers, the SRD is dedicated to getting as many people out, our actions in [GERMANY] at Eddisberg should've proven that," Kevin said with a even tone.

The interviewer blinked, thinking about what had been said, Kevin smirked and continued, "Our mons were vital in the extraction of several suspects and civilians, and we managed to shortcut a lot of their work. We do our job, and we do it well, now, if you'll excuse me I have to get these perps processed. I got a long night ahead"

He stepped off and the Interviewer blinked, "...This has been Brady with WWN Channel 8 news, signing off, and wishing everyone a merry christmas."

Stormchaser

Fuka Rubens runs through the halls of the Stormchaser, her phone still on the screen with the "misguided time cops" text messages, desperately trying to find the meeting room

Eight years ago, Hearthome City Mall

Santa: And what would you like for Christmas, little...

Fuka (age 5): I'm Fuka! And I want my mommy to come home for Christmas! She's always away havin' cool adventures 'n' stuff but I want her home real bad! Please make her come! Daddy said he couldn't promise anything but you're Santa so you c'n do it... right?

The mall Santa looks nervously at the large man who had brought the girl to him. That main is shaking his head sadly

Santa: I... I'll do what I can.

Christmas Day, eight years ago

Fuka sits at the Christmas tree, her daddy and his Garchomp, Sammie, watching her open presents. Fuka herself is looking at her Munchlax plushie with a sad look. The somber Christmas is interrupted by the sound of a door opening.

"I'm home!"

Fuka looks up, a huge smile on her face as she stands and runs into the waiting arms of a woman with brown hair like hers, straight where Fuka's is messy.

Fuka: Mommy!

Fuka's mother, Suzie, lifts her daughter into the air

Suzie (to her husband): It's the craziest thing. I was flying along on Nidori (she gestures to the Fearow grooming outside the door) like normal when, all of a sudden, no matter which way we tried to fly, the wind would just blow us around. Eventually I just figured I'd go with it and see where the currents took me, and here I ended up.

Present Day, Stormchaser

Fuka (to herself): ''Don't you worry, Santa! If you're in trouble you can count on me to help! (out loud) Where's that meeting happening?!

Stormchaser

Stormchaser Meeting

-Susan visibly recoils away from the phone as it starts playing music. She mutters under her breath about 'inevitable Christmas album' and 'already involved enough'-

Amarin Household

Snom: <Hello! I am here to make sure he make treats.>

Yeah I've kinda been drafted into a cookie-making scheme.

-He jiggles the satchel and Oven he's hauling along-

Ultra Badlands, Ship?

-Pent pockets the badge and nods-

Alright. Not sure how well I can get you to safety but I'm not leaving someone behind.

-And with that, Pent puts his hand on the Arctozolt's shoulder(?) and fades into the shadows-

Ultra Badlands, Surface

-Moments later, Pent runs up towards the main group of legendaries and Wanderers and also Tagg-

I need two portals! One for the Stormchaser for evac and one keyed to wherever this thing goes.

-He holds up the badge-

Fighting that thing here isn't going to do much if we don't have a team in the Final Shell stopping the Fanatic.

Zelel: " Target acquired."

-The last railgun round fires, flanked by Moonbeams and Ice Beams and Thunderbolts from the ground forces and more lasers from the cannons.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Ultra Badlands

-To Pent-

I think everyone's a bit too preoccupied to risk this thing following us through the portal!

-The Demon Tide's Obscura core takes more damage as it screeches in pain due to a combination of being hit and the light chains binding it-

Wanderer: Alright Pikachu, let's do this!

Pikachu: -Cheeks sparking as he climbs on his shoulder- <Right!>

-The two turn into light and run through the Obscura orb repeatedly, culminating with Pikachu striking it with a downward Iron Tail, and the Wanderer transforming the Elemental Sword into a warhammer and doing the same while wreathed in light-

Demon Tide: -Is slammed hard into the ground, leaving a decent sized crater, and sinks into the ground using an Obscura portal-

Judith: -Clenching her Morph Gun extremely tight- It's not over yet.

Wanderer: -Landing as if gravity doesn't even affect him- No, the real fight's starting now.

-The sky turns red as the Demon Tide rises up from the portal, Sableye whirling around it as a massive tornado as it storms towards the party, thousands of eyes glowing red as it launches orbs comprised of Sableye stuck together via Obscura at them-

...No fucking way.

   Demon Tide:    <   ALL SHALL BE LOST TO YOU!!!   >

All weather effects are nullified!

Fuka: Sorry I'm late, i'm still learning where everything is. (sits and adopts an unusually [for her] serious expression) I saw the message, if we're saving Santa I want in.

-Hazel manages to regain control of the phone and stops the music.-

Hazel: Phew. Remind me why I haven't deleted that one.

Evo: <You did, then I downloaded it again. It's a classic!>

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

Ultra Badlands, War!,    Demon Tide   

-The pain inflicted by Cheri OS' Diamond Hammer fades away, and Ian lifts himself back to his feet-

Me: Thank you for the healing!

-Oshawittle stares down the Demon Tide, not intimidated in the slightest-

Oshawittle: <If it is light that harms these rapscallions... Then maybe...>

-Oshawittle then gets an idea-

Oshawittle: <Piku-chan! I need you to use your Thunderbolt to imbue my sword with lightning's might! It may as well give us a fighting chance against these... things...>

Piku-chan: <Got it! One Shocking Shell Blade, coming right up!>

-Oshawittle draws his blade as Piku-chan surrounds himself in electricity. The blast of energy combines with the Razor Shell, granting it properties of an Electric-type move, and a glow thar can prove harmful to the Demon Tide.-

Oshawittle: <HAVE AT THEE, SCOUNDRELS!!>

-Oshawittle charges into the fray-

Evelyn: I don't think I've seen that Pokémon before...

-Evelyn levitates her Pokédex out of her pocket to check-

Evelyn's Pokédex: Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokémon. A Water type. The scalchop on its stomach is made from the same element as claws. It detaches the scalchop for use as a blade. It isn't just used for battle—it can be used to break open hard berries as well.

Evelyn: Kako, that Oshawott will need all the help he can get! Use Magical Leaf!

Kako: <But what about Mirai?>

Evelyn: She'll get healing as soon as possible. Don't worry.

Kako: <Thanks, Evelyn.>

-Kako summons a flurry of rainbow colored leaves and then unleashes them against the Demon Tide-

Stormchaser Meeting Room

-After minutes of work turning the witch's hat inside-out, cutting the red fabric and sewing...-

Me: Ahahaha! It's done!

-Ian upgraded the Witch Hat and made it Festive-

-Ian puts the Festive Hat on-

Evelyn: So you made the inside of your witch's hat a Christmas hat?

Me: Indeed I did. It's a reversible hat!

Evelyn: Somehow, I have the funniest feeling that this is never going to catch on...

Me: It's not exactly about it "catching on", my friend... It's functional for our mission and besides! It is super comfortable.

Evelyn: I see... So how will we go about saving Father Christmas?

Me: Well, there are a couple teams that we can choose from. Let's just ask about them and we'll work from there.

♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...

MERRY CHRISTMAS J-TEAM!

-Most J-Team members that know Ren will find personalized coats and scarves made for them by Ren.-

-Ren’s closest friends and family have gotten specific gifts-

-Jacob should find a silver letter opener with the Iridis family crest in gold on the handle.-

-Verax should find a new survival knife and a sharpening and care kit.-

-Dune will find a pair of climbing boots and gloves that deploy small spikes to aid in climbing (or kicking the crap out of hostiles).-

-Dezi will find a new industrial strength generator that she can freely mod-

-Ludmilla should find a tan egg with a yellow heart on it that will start shaking as soon as she sees it.-

-Kai should find a new outfit for them to wear at their Battle Frontier challenges.-

"Going with the dungeon that sounds like we'll have an obvious type advantage I see. I don't blame ya, with any luck I'll get a Water Stone along the way," The young man said before adding, "And since you've introduced yourselves, my username is Key Binder, but you can call me Travis. People here tend to use their first names and can't be bothered to come up with anything else."

After a few moments of punching in search parameters, the party would wait a couple minutes for an available instance of Submerged Citadel before connecting. What would follow would be best described as Loads and Loads of Loading

Living The Fever Dream

Ultra Badlands,    Demon Tide   

Carbuncle:<Aspen, what are these... things?>

Me: "I have no idea. But we must fight them." -Suddenly, Aspen has an idea. She sents out Vulcan-

"Vulcan, I want you to use Flamethrower on Carbuncle's shadow ball. This way, it does more damage to these weird demon things."

Vulcan:<Got it!>

"Alright, Carbuncle use Shadow Ball! Vulcan, wait untill I give the signal."

<Ok!>

-Carbuncle forms a Shadow Ball from her mouth-

"Alright now Vulcan!"

-Vulcan uses Flamethrower on the Shadow Ball, covering it in a coat of fire-

"Ok Carbuncle, let then have it!"

<Take this you demons!

-Carbuncle releases the flameing shadow ball at the demon tide-

  

-on racing Empoleon-back, someone watches the proceedings-

Megan: -shouts out, as he jumps- Tagg, don't die!

Logan: -takes cover within the storm of airship/artillery blasts-

Thespi: <Silver does shine, it's true

<And gold spells a nice AU>

<But I learned from the best,>

<And when put to the test—>

<Without good support, we're through!> ;)

-power builds-

Logan: -over the wind, still playing- Hey! You recognize these Pokémon?

Megan: -yelling back- Y-yeah! They're mine!

Logan: -blink- ...you have other Pokémon?

-across the field, two other heads turn-

Megan: -turning red, glancing back and forth- U-um...yyyes...?

...did they never come up?

Thespi: <Acceleratle!>

Tripod: -Kabuff!-

Ceal: <Multiheal!>

-three keys pierce the sky and turn, and three potentia unlock-

Thespi used Tailwind! Tripod used Reflect! Ceal used Life Dew!

-allies are bolstered, barred and emboldened, and alight the three turn to the fray-

Logan: -low whistle- ...nice training!

Megan: -watches them go, for a long, long while- ...

-hollowly- ...thanks.

-a Rapidash carrying Hiro Bounces past, rocket-flame streaming from its legs; Abilene directs a Bullet Seed barrage from Tropius-back-

-Logan's allies exchange circuits of power, keeping one another aloft—they fire an anomalous array of Electric moves at the Tide-

-Pollen keeps up a barrage of Energy Balls-

-they strafe and soar, hit and run-

-steer well clear of the Wanderer's display—-

-transformation-

-and the clouds are wiped from the sky-

-and the charge is stripped from the earth-

(Normalsky!)Thespi: -exhale- <Here we go.>

-Logan's allies set to work intercepting the Sableballs-

Abilene: Grass Pledge.

Hiro: Fire Pledge!

Megan: Water Pledge!

The three moves combined! It's a combination move!

-three throw out their hands one after the other, and grass becomes fire becomes an ocean of force—titanic waves crash at the Demon Tide, and they return to their strafing-

A rainbow appeared in the sky!
