Pokemon in Space [IC Chapter #03]

[LeonVermillion]

"thanks..." As Sena hold Frogadier's Aether Ball. He toss the ball upward summoning the frog "From now own your name will be Zeromaru." Frogadier looks confused, but accept his new nickname, as a sign of his friendship with Sena. Sena then began healing Frogadier with Betani's Super Potion, while healing Frogadier, he noticed the thing Frogadier is holding, "Can you show me what you are holding?" he asked Frogadier.

 

While waiting for Frogadier show Sena what he got, Sena looked at both Betani and Rita, "alright, we're going to inform the surface about what they should do next." Sena then check his A-comm on Frogadier's moveset hmmm this might work. "While waiting for Rita informing the surface world. Let’s strategize a bit, what if Frogadier use Smokescreen on Alpha and Omega as our first step for surprise attack? Verna can pinpoint their location with Supersonic, to help us whacking either one of them. We might even be able to at least separate the two of them. What do you guys think? I'm open for a better option."

[DemICE]

Cathode could only watch in shock and horror at what was happening to Suzie.   It was not the first time that she would be on the losing edge, but it had never been in such a brutal way. She might have shrieked during the whole moment, or she might have not. She wouldn't be able to tell herself.

She tried to use her pokeball to return the snake before she hit the beach rocks, but she had failed to aim properly. 

When she finally managed to adjust the aim properly, Suzie was groveling on the side of the rocks. She returned her without wasting a second.

Her knees had become weak and trembling, but she didnt dare try to fall on the ground, lest she become an easier target.  There was only one thing she could do in this situation, and she wasn't sure about the repercussions.

Nevertheless  she ran towards and picked up the pokeball in which the Gyarados was unceremoniously caught,  and  threw it towards the other serpents. 

"P-please use Thrash!"  She commanded the emerging serpentine form.

Confuse Ray on Gyrados #5.

[Bfroger6]

#04 BEACH

CATHODE, EMM, GREG, JOY & JAY

 

Mr. Cuddles isn't fast enough to get close enough to hit the Gyarados before the sea serpent lunges at Ember. Ember sticks out her beak, parrying the Gyarados's Bite so it only scrapped her.

 

Ember's Peck (5,212) deflects Gyarados #4's Bite (10,800)

Peck's Atk Value is reduced to 0

Bite's Atk Value is reduced to 5,588

crit: 70,38 no crit

flinch: 40,81 no flinch

It's not very effective!

Ember takes 34 damage.

 

With the fangs parried, the move fails to hit any important spots on the chicken's body, instead only scrapping her wing.

 

The other Gyarados being incapacitated or escaping, this gives Matilda a chance to Confuse another one.

 

Matilda's Confuse Ray on Gyarados #5

Gyarados #05 is now confused.

 

Nicaea jumps in as well.

Nicaea's Sleep Powder on Gyarados #5 (75% Acc)

miss: 24,36 hit

Gyarados #5 falls asleep.

 

The serpent heading for the times wobbily falls asleep as it's tag teamed by two debilitating moves. Its eyes unfocused and spinning, it falls with its body backwards into the sand.

 

Meanwhile, Mr. Cuddles finally reaches the Gyarados, gathering energy into its fist, punching it again in its body.

 

Mr. Cuddles's Chip Away (14,373 Atk Value) on Gyarados #04

crit: 69,73 no crit

Gyarados #04 takes 128 damage.

 

The punch pushed the Gyarados towards the sealine with incredible force, giving Joy a clear shot to throw her Aether Ball.

It shakes 3 times, but right then, the Aether Ball bursts back open, smashed to pieces, the Gyarados back out and angrily glaring at Cuddles, Joy and Ember, totally not even noticing Jay.

 

Cathode throws out the Gyarados and commands it, but...it's still asleep. It just falls into the sand, snoring peacefully. However, it still exerts an intimidating aura.

 

Gyarados's [Intimidate]

Gyarados #2, #3, #4 and #5 have their Atk drop 1 stage.

 

[Turn 6 End]

Gyarados #2 sleep: 20,61

Gyarados #2 wakes up!

 

Cathode's Gyarados's sleep: 81,74

It's fast asleep.

 

The sleeping Gyarados suddenly opens its eyes and rears its head up, lifting it from the sand and turning towards Emm and Nicaea. On the other hand, Cathode's Gyarados is still snoring peacefully, as is the escaping Gyarados. It must also be dreaming of rubber Ducklett spinning around its head.

 

Ember's [Speed Boost] triggers. Spe +1!

 

[Turn 7 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES]

 

The awakened Gyarados launches immediately at Nicaea, its jaws opening wide. As it rushes towards Emm and Nicaea, it gives off a feel as if it could just swallow them up if it wanted to.

 

Gyarados #2's Bite (7,236 Atk Value) on Nicaea

 

Gyarados #3 confusion: 96,66

Gyarados #3 is confused.

hit self: 29,18

It hit itself in its confusion!

Gyarados #3 takes 43 damage.

 

The confused Gyarados is still trashing about, slamming its head and body into nearby rocks and also into itself, contorting its serpentine body.

 

The Gyarados fighting Cuddles and Ember is fairly cornered, yet rage still burns in its eyes. It fiercely without any restraint rushes forward, attempting to chomp on Cuddles despite knowing Cuddles could smash through its attack with ease.

 

Gyarados #4's Bite (7,236 Atk Value) on Mr. Cuddles

#04 DUNGEON

RADOVAN

*+Zeta, Alpha, Omega*

 

[α COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES Ω]

 

Music: Ruin Ωf TraditiΩn

 

Larvitar cannot even reach any of the Baltoy before the blast of energy hits it, bursting into blue light upon impact.

 

Alpha's Revelation Dance (Water type; 21,870 SpA Value) on Larvitar

crit: 55,71 no crit

It's super effective!

Larvitar takes 1,366 damage.

[Larvitar is KO'd]

 

Larvitar is blasted back, falling on the ground next to Radovan's feet. Its body is completely tattered, with damage comparable to watter errosion cutting deep slices of its rocky carapace, leaving it scarred all across its body, revealing more of its red scales in a couple of places.

 

The other burst of light hits Sableye from the other side, but Sableye's Detect prevents any damage. The energy simply bursts into brown, dissipating into the air. The while lightshow startles Murki who had to fly out of the way of Alpha's Revelation Dance. In the meantime, Zeta yelps seeing Larvitar's state.

 

"I-I don't know, Murki and I don't fight, we stop fights... Like this one we should stop this one, your Larvitar, Radovan, he's hurt bad!" Kneeling to pick the Pokemon up, Zeta leaves Murki to cover her back. Murki looks back at Zeta and nods as Zeta takes Larvitar into her embrace, getting back up, tears in the corners of her eyes.

 

"Sorry Radovan, we're running! M-Murki, Featherdance!" Instantaneously, Murki flaps her wings, covering the area in black feathers, just as Alpha and Omega land. Radovan, blinded by the feathers, feels a straight blow into his stomach, leaving him out of breath and unable to immediately react as he's picked up by someone smaller than him who starts running with him in tow.

 

Murki's Featherdance

 

Alpha's [Dancer] triggers.

Alpha's Featherdance

 

Omega's [Dancer] triggers

Omega's Featherdance

Alpha and Omega's bodies follow Murki's motions, releasing energy shaped like blue and red feathers respectively, that cover the entire plaza, blinding literally everyone on it.

 

"Foolish girl, are you going to run through the flames!" Omega screams in frustration. "NO, you chose to stay, now witness Uno's revival! In fact, we'll use you as our fuel as well!"

 

A flash or blue bursts across the plaza, coming from its entrance. All the feathers flying around the plaza disappear when hit by the blue light and Radovan can see Omega through the flames that Zeta nearly carried him through. But now Zeta stood in place, turning her head around like a cornered animal, Murki helplessly flapping around her. Omega's right leg is glowing a fierce blue as energy gathers around her. A quake resounds through the plaza as she steps forward with a feral scream.

Earth itself splits open before Radovan's eyes before something hard hits his guts from below, slicing them open, sending him flying and bursting into flames. He immediately loses consciousness from the sheer pain, the last thing he hears being Zeta calling his name.

 

Alpha's Precipice Blades... (38,880 Atk Value)

 

[COMBAT PHASE ENDED]

#04 DUNGEON

SENA

*+Rita*

 

An explosion resounds from the plaza, startling everyone around Sena while they discussed. They all turn towards it, seeing a flash of blue light before the entire ground beneath their feet shakes momentarily.

 

"WHAT!?" Betani shouts out in surprise.

 

"Motor, scan!" Rita says, focusing on Motor's display. "Guys a huge burst of energy! I've lost signal from Radovan's A-Comm! Motor can read his and Zeta's life signs though... they're alive."

 

"Still, what the hell happened!?" A wide-eyed Betani turns to Rita for answers, but Rita can only shrug in response. "I can't be sure. It was a ground type attack... incredibly powerful. It... it could probably level the entire town on the surface."

"..." Betani looks down to her feet with a frown.

 

"Hey we can't give uuuup! This is all the more reason to rescue them. Sena, Betani, you engage them. I'll send Dolly with you. Find Radovan and Zeta while I contact the others above. I'm sorry I can't fight with you, but Dolly is a pro!" Rita gives a thumbs up to Sena while Dolly nods fiercely.

 

"Right then we'll have to use Frogadier's Smokescreen and your Noibat's Supersonic like you said. If I can land a straight blow at Alpha I might just be able to knock her out. Are you ready, Sena?"

 

[Go save Radovan and Zeta?]

1) Yes

2) No

[LeonVermillion]

That idiotic bastard... Sena can only sigh in disbelief, as he still looking at the smoke that is coming from the main square. "Right... hopefully Zetta would be fine. Rita, after you finish relaying the message to the surface, head to the square immediately. We're going to need almost all the help we can get." Sena said to Rita as he stands up, he looked at both of his pokemon, Frogadier who is now called Zeromaru is determined to beat Alpha and Omega, Verna on the other hand feels a bit down, but nonetheless she would try her best to support the team.

 

Sena take a deep breath, ready or not they have to fight Alpha and Omega eventually. "Ready, time to save Zetta. If Stenee can't knock Alpha out, we need to at least separate both of them." Sena began to run, with Frogadier on his side, and Verna fly on his side.

[LucidRain]

Jay watched in a grimance as Ember managed to clip away the charging Gyrados' fangs just enough to avoid getting bitten in half, but the Gyrados still managed to catch purchase in one of her wings. Ember firmly kept her beak closed to keep down a cry of pain, though she couldn't hide her feathers becoming tattered and broken where the Gyrados' teeth raked through them. "Y-you alright?!" Jay called after Ember nervously. Pokemon got hurt way worse in battles, but Jay felt particularily guilty for his stupidity. Ember responded with an accusatory glare, her intense amber eyes shooting daggers at her inactive master. Yeah, I deserve that... Jay smiled in a lobsided, apologetic way. But by the looks of it, the Gyrados had turned its attention to the Munchlax, and Ember was free to strike.

 

As much as Jay knew Ember would like to hit back at the Gyrados unopposed, Jay could see that she was needed elsewhere, spotting the Nicaea from his higher vantage point, now vunerable to the full force of the rampaging Gyrados now that the Onix was knocked away from the battlefield. "Ember! Peck the other Gyrados! Try to disrupt its attack!" Jay ordered, swinging the sunscreen bottle towards the Nicaea to signal which one. Ember took a moment to relocate the right Gyrados and angled her charge to break the force of the Gyrados' charge.

 

Ember used Peck on Gyrados #2!

 

Peck (Physical)

Power: 30

Accuracy: 100%

Att. Stage: +1

Att. Value: 5212

[IntSys]

Emmanuel stumbled as the Gyarados began to rush toward him and Nicaea. For some reasons, it looked much, much scarier up close. He was just about to recall Nicaea to protect her from harm as the Gyarados neared, but then Ember charged against it from the side in an attempt to break its assault. "Th-Thanks!" Emmanuel shouted, readjusting his position. "Now send that jerk back to sleep!"

 

As if angered, Nicaea hissed at the Gyarados attacking her and hurled another cloud of Sleep Powder in return.

 

 

Action: Nicaea uses Sleep Powder (75% Accuracy) on Gyarados #2.

[rustytengo]

Joy sighed and sat down pulling a bag of chips out of somewhere. "You should of stayed in the ball. Cause now Mr.Cuddles has to beat you down." She mused towards the Gyarados not really caring if it could hear her or not. "So Mr. Cuddles show it whose stronger and hit it in the face with another Chip Away!" she commanded and the Munchlax lined up another punch at the Gyarados. 

 

Mr. Cuddles uses Chip Away on Gyarados #4 to punch it straight in the nose.

Chip away 
Power: 70

Accuracy: 100

Attack Value: 14373

+1 Defense stage

 

Joy sits down and eats some chips.

[DemICE]

"Righ.. I had forgotten it was asleep..."  Cathode mumbled,  and wondered what to do.   There was obviously not much choice apart from waiting out the sleepiness.  But then,  when she had  sent out the serpent,  she had noticed the opposing gyaradoses had reacted to it, and were pretty intimidated.  Could it be that the sudden appearence of such a vicious creature was enough to mentally discourage them even if it was sleeping?  What if it was going to happen again?  Would it work despite being the same creature making a sudden appearance? 

In the end she decided that the risk was about as much as trying to pray for luck to wake up her gyarados. She lifted her ball and recalled it,  and sent Suzie out again.  She figured if the gyarados reappeared immediately after being recalled, its intimidation wouldn't have as much of an effect.

The weary rock snake eyed her curiously, for she seemed more  thoughtful than battle-ready. 

"Sorry for not letting you rest yet, you will be back shortly, I'm just trying something out..."

 

[Cathode swapped gyarados for Suzie]

[StormLord]

Greg and Matilda kept the high ground, raining more lasers from above.

 

Confuse Ray on Gyarados #2.

[Bfroger6]

#04 BEACH

CATHODE, EMM, GREG, JOY & JAY

 

Ember rushes at the Gyarados attacking Nicaea beak first at speeds matching a torpedo.

 

Ember's Peck (5212 Atk Value) deflects Gyarados #2's Bite (7236 Atk Value)

Ember's Peck drops down to 0 Atk Value

Gyarados #2's Bite drops down to 2024 Atk Value

 

Ember's beak flashes like a Ninjask's blade-a single glint as it made brief contact with the Gyarados's teeth. Ember basically flew through the Gyarados's open maw, flicking its bite slightly off course. On its off trajectory, the Gyarados only manages to slam its teeth head first into Nicaea instead of straight up Biting her.

 

Gyarados #2's Bite (2024 Atk Value)

crit: 81,89 no crit

flinch: 11,63 flinch

Nicaea takes 27 damage.

 

Nicaea's Sleep Powder

Nicaea has flinched!

 

However, Nicaea flinched from the blow that pushed her and Emmanuel off their feet. The Gyarados slams its head into the sand beneath the duo's feet, forcing them to fall.

 

Matilda's Confuse Ray on Gyarados #2

Gyarados #2 is confused.

 

Matilda shoots a ray of light at the Gyarados though, confusing it.

 

The showdown between Gyarados #4 and Mr Cuddles is set for an unprecedented end. The Gyarados's fearsome Bite against the Munchlax's forceful punch. Of course, the Gyarados has no chance though.

 

Mr Cuddles's Chip Away (14,373 Atk Value) deflects Gyarados #4's Bite (7236 Atk Value)

Mr Cuddles's Chip Away drops to 7,136 Atk Value

Gyarados #4's Bite drops to 0 Atk Value

 

Mr Cuddles's Chip Away (7,136 Atk Value) on Gyarados #4

crit: 64,81 no crit

Gyarados #4 takes 63 damage.

 

Cuddles's punch blasts through the mighty serpent's row of teeth, hitting it straight into the area between its eyes and sending it flying back the way it came from. The serpent lands on its back into the shallow waters near the beach.

 

Meanwhile Cathode sends Suzie out again, the rock snake coiling up around her protectively.

 

[Turn 7 End]

 

Gyarados #5 is asleep: 33,11

Gyarados #5 is fast asleep.

 

Ember's [Speed Boost] triggers. Spe +1!

 

[Turn 8 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES]

 

Gyarados #2 is confused.

hit self: 14,23

It hit itself in its confusion!

Gyarados #2 takes 43 damage.

 

Gyarados #2 wobbily attempts to pull its head out of the sand but it only manages to dig it deeper into it, giving Emm and Nicaea leeway to do what they want.

 

Gyarados #3's confusion: 83,35

Gyarados #3 is confused.

hit self: 45,82

 

Regaining some of its composure, albeit momentarily, Gyarados #3 focuses again on the largest target-Suzie, rushing to slam its teeth into her weakened body

 

Gyarados #3's Bite (7236 Atk Value) on Suzie

 

Gyarados #4 feebly raises its head towards Cuddles. It can hardly fight anymore after that devastating punch, so it's up to Cuddles to now finish it off.

 

Gyarados #5 is fast asleep, snoring lightly.

 

Turn order: Ember (Jay) -> The Gyarados -> Terry (Cathode) -> Suzie (Cathode) -> Matilda (Greg) -> Nicaea (Emmanuel) -> Mr. Cuddles (Joy)

#04 DUNGEON

RADOVAN

*+Zeta, Alpha, Omega*

 

Radovan slowly opens his eyes to a soft touch to his cheeks. Before him, mere inches from his face, Alpha's lips stand motionless as she runs her soft hands over his cheeks and down to his stomach. A pink glow emanates from her hands as she stills them over his stomach and a warmth seeps into his body, unlike anything he'd felt before. He cannot see Alpha's eyes as they are covered, but the expression of the rest of her face remains motionless. She steps away from him and he realizes that he's been tied up to one of the spikes that Omega had produced mere moments ago in the fight.

 

"Radovan!" He can hear Zeta's voice coming from in front of him and as his vision clears up, he can see her standing next to Omega, who is holding a hand on her shoulder. Zeta's eyes are eagerly pointed towards Radovan. They look bloodshot as if she'd just stopped crying. Murki is standing on the ground next to her. "I-I was so worried that you were..."

 

"But not for long. We'll just use his life energy as more fuel. He's more useful to us this way." Omega says with a smirk, patting Zeta on the head.

 

"Sena and the others will come beat you up before you can do that, you'll see!" Zeta retaliates with a pout, pushing her hand off her head.

 

"Tsk. None of them can even face Alpha and me as we dance. And even if they do somehow manage... well, hehehehe, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you." Omega walks away towards the stage, while Alpha remains standing next to Zeta.

 

Zeta looks up at the tall woman. "Thank you for saving his life..."

 

"...it was for our cause... for Uno..."

 

Zeta shakes her head. "Please, can you help us? Just untie Radovan or talk to Omega!"

 

"I can't. Omega would never let up. She is Uno's future. Were the events of today to move differently, she might stop existing. I am Uno's past, though. There is no changing me..." She looks down, a hand placed on her other forearm, as if unsure. An unexpected display of weakness from Alpha.

 

[Does Radovan want to ask Alpha anything about Uno's past? This might be the best chance.]

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

#04 DUNGEON

SENA

*+Rita*

 

"Understood, Sena!" Rita gives a thumbs up at Sena's instructions. "I'll be there as soon as I manage this! Let's go, Motor, locate the best place we can contact them from." Rita runs off in a different direction with Motor in her hand, quickly typing on its holographic display.

 

[Rita has left the scene]

-Dolly has joined the party-

 

The Shuppet lingers around you, flying around Sena's head.

 

Betani looks at Sena and nods. "Let's go. We'll infiltrate the buildings around the stage square and strike from above. With Nee and my skills we can't fail."

 

[Sena and Betani head towards the square]

 

At the entrance to the square, there are several Baltoy and faceless people. Some faced people have also began nearing the square once again to reunite with their loved ones after the immediate danger was over. Betani hushes you down as you approach and stealthily leads you around them, pushing you into once building and closing the door on you. "Go to the roof, I'll climb on the other side. You and Frogadier have to stay focused. When I give the signal, you use Smokescreen." And she disappears, presumably off to the other side of the square.

 

Two choices linger before Sena. Either follow Betani's directions and climb the stairway to the roof, or turn around and go back outside.

 

[Will Sena climb the stairs?]

[Yours Truly]

Radovan coughed and spluttered a little after he regained his strength, taking in several deep breaths as his eyes darted across the room, before he calmed himself just enough to try to seem like he's not genuinely terrified for his life. He lingered there for a bit of time, waiting until Alpha walked off before he weakly asked "Zeta, are you okay? Did Alpha or Omega harm you at all?." Gently testing his bonds as he waited for Zeta's response, only to follow it up with a slight turn towards Alpha, "And she's right you know? More people are coming, more friends of Uno who wants to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life...although it seems like she thinks this wouldn't be her first."

He tried to seem about as relaxed and friendly as a man slowly being drained of all life, and tied to a stalagmite could be when he continued with, "Why does Uno want to do this anyway? What...happened to her?"

[IntSys]

Emmanuel instinctively reached to protect Nicaea from further attacks, but it seemed that Ember's attack had worked. He gave his A-Comm a quick look, and stood up firmly. The situation was perfect - the weakened Gyarados was within KO range!

"It's time for us to fight back, Nicaea!" The boy pointed toward the wounded Gyarados, and declared his attack. "Acid!" Nicaea then broke into a sprint and hurled a barrage of acidic bubbles at the target, finally getting to attack for the first time in the battle.

 

Action: Nicaea uses Acid (9082 SpA Value) on Gyarados #4.

[rustytengo]

Joy frowned a bit when the one of the others ordered their pokmon to attack the gyarados that Mr.Cuddles was fighting. She would of yelled at them about fairness and not interrupting others fights but that would use more energy then she was willing to spend so instead she gave new order to Mr.Cuddles. "Mr.Cuddles leave that one alone and use Chip Away on that one." She said pointing to the one about to attack the weakened Onix.

Icy Wind on Gyarados #2.

[LeonVermillion]

Should Sena follow Betani’s direction? He jave , but can’t shake off a rather weird feeling he have.

 

No... I need to stick to the plan for now... Hopefully it was only my imagination.

 

Sena thought to himself, as he climb up the roof carefully, trying not to alert his presence to the enemy. Zeromaru who has been on his side also carefully crawl, after a bit of looking around, he found a good place for to use Smokescreen with Verna now perched on Zeromaru’s side.

"I'm fine, they didn't hurt me, but... your Larvitar..." Zeta looked down. "I didn't know what to do so I took your Aether Ball and returned it..."

 

Alpha wouldn't make a single movement in response to Radovan's question. She simply remained perfectly still as a statue. "What happened to Uno... she lost her body. It was a Magikarp Festival, much like now, but 10 years ago. At the Aquarium, she danced as she was told. She danced the traditional, long-lost Dance with the Gyarados. It was a ceremony, her body moved like the water-with the water, in celebration of Magikarp, who gave us life on the island. That man, Shun, he organised it. He trusted his Gyarados. But... that trust was unfounded. Uno suffered, crushed by the debris. Her body unrepairable. I am her ideal, her past utopia-the body she lost and would have matured into had that event not transpired. Why she desires this is because she wants it back, forever. And Omega will transform this island into a new body for her, planting her consciousness into it. A clay doll made from infinite lives, trampling the tradition that ruined its hopes and dreams. She'll be safe then, but I..." Alpha bites her lip, a stream of red immediately trickling down her chin. Her grip on her forearm grew tighter. She pulls the cover off her face. Her expression is kind and worried, but she forces herself to stay calm and show as little emotion as possible.

 

"But I'm not... I don't..." She whispers, but is abruptly stopped.

 

"What're you blabbering about?" Omega returns with a confident gait. "The stage will be ready, but the Gyarados we sent up to the surface still haven't completed their mission. The way this looks, I'll have to personally go up there and destroy the wards." She shrugs. "Alpha, you'll stay. I shouldn't have any trouble squashing those pests up there. I'll count on you to stop the ones here." Alpha nods as Omega snaps her fingers, summoning to her side two Claydol. Stepping up with one foot onto each of their heads, they begin slowly ascending towards the hole in the dome's center.

SENA

*+Rita*

 

Music: Watchful Eyes

 

Sena stays behind the closed doors, alone in the building. The atmosphere is tense, as an odd nagging feeling continues creeping down his spine. He ascends the stairs, passing by windows overlooking the area outside the plaza. The faceless men and women, children and elderly... They were all dead people. No longer in this world, cheap copies made to delude the grieving. Even after 10 years, these dead people's loved ones were still entranced by these copies. What pitiful souls. What about Rita though? Her initial motivation was to find her dead mother. This dead mother's clay copy might be around here somewhere... Sena knew he could resist, but could Rita? She seemed obsessed before and, despite showing some positive resolve in rejecting this idea of clay copies, was she still wavering inside?

 

Sena's A-Comm suddenly buzzes. It's Betani.

 

"Sena. Omega seems to be departing for some reason. That's when we should strike Alpha, but also, I think we should let your friends on the surface know she's coming. Sena? Sena are you in position?"

 

But Sena's eyes were locked on a scene he saw clearly through the window. It was Rita, walking towards the square, holding hands with some woman. Two other persons could be seen walking next to them too. A man and a woman. Rita was eagerly pointing towards the square, pulling the woman's hand. They were headed, positively, towards Sena's location. From the distance, Sena could identify, clear as day, next to Rita, the woman who was holding her hand: faceless, but the other two...

 

His parents' faces, glimmering in the blue light on the watery dome. His mother's otherworldly smile as she saw him too and pointed in his direction... it was not a smile of love, but of malice.

 

Betani's voice over his A-Comm as she called his name became an echo in his ear, background noise. The world stopped as danger grew imminent. With them, other Baltoy and faceless people also began to notice him. In this building, he was trapped.

 

Banging on the door. Sena was on the first floor. Rita stood outside, waved at him, gestured for him to come down. Dolly grew restless next to him, flying about. His parents called for him, though their voices were muffled through the window glass. The door opened on the ground floor.

 

[What will Sena do?]

1. Go up?

2. Go down?

3. Stay?

[DemICE]

"Sorry for risking to call you back out when you are so weakened, but its part of a strategy"  Cathode said to the coiled-up snake around her. Through the rocky gaps she saw one of the Gyarados launching itself to attack her as soon as she was out.  

"And now i i have to recall you for the next part" she said fast while she was already pushing the luxury ball button mid-sentense.  And then one big serpent was replaced for another, keeping Cathode shielded from harm. "I'm sorry for this, but you're probably asleep so you won't feel it...  but if you can somehow hear me this time, use Thrash! please!"

She wished its overwhelming sudden presence would affect their opponents morale yet again.

[LeonVermillion]

There are no better word to describe what Sena feel other than feeling surprised. "I can't... no I need to focus. I need to... I..." memories of him with his parent came rushing back to him, those happy memories before he was alone in that house. Sena barely manage to held himself, he almost open his door to go downstair, but soon realize that, no... that is not them...

 

He was a bit too late, as of now outside of his room is swarmed with Baltoy. crap... "Uhhh, Betani, there is some slight changes with the plan, Baltoy is outside of my room right now."

 

After informing Betani of his situation Sena went upstair. Opening his door Sena rushed to the upstair with Zeromaru, Dolly and Verna help him clearing the Baltoy on the hallway. 

[Yours Truly]

Radovan sighed and slumped back against the pillar, seeming a bit dejected while he waited for Omega to leave, before he spoke up with, "Is this...are you sure that this is what Uno wanted? I've met Uno before, and while I haven't known her for long I, she didn't seem like someone who would just...sacrifice everyone like this, I don't know." He looked at Zeta for a moment, taking a deep breath before he continued with, "What about you though? Do you want this? It just seems...strange that she would be fine with sacrificing everyone like this."

#04 BEACH

CATHODE, EMM, GREG, JOY & JAY

 

Mr Cuddles and Joy, seeing that Gyarados #4 is gonna be handled by Nicaea and Emm, focus on stopping the one attacking Suzie. Mr Cuddles is, however, too slow to catch up to the Gyarados on its own. Instead, Ember is the one who reaches the Gyarados first, slamming her beak against its mighty jaw, deflecting part of the attack and slowing it down enough for Mr Cuddles to catch up. Despite his power, Cuddles was still awfully slow.

Gyarados #5 is asleep: 56,05

Gyarados #5 is fast asleep.

 

[Turn 9 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES]

 

Cathode's Gyarados groggily raises its head. Its eyes flash a maddened pink and it lets out a roar, turning straight at Cathode. If no one interferes, it will attack her.

 

[Cathode's Gyarados is out of control!]

 

Cathode's Gyarados's Bite (11,880 Atk Value) on Cathode

 

Gyarados #2 is Confused: 94,69 it's still Confused

Gyarados #2 manages to shake off the confusion temporarily, raising its head to ram its teeth into Mathilda who was the closest target.

 

Gyarados #2's Bite (3600 Atk Value) on Mathilda

 

Gyarados #3 is Confused: 27,89

It snaps itself out of confusion!

 

Gyarados #3 doesn't like being interfered, but also............... its eyes look as fearful as they are maddened. The appearance of Cathode's Gyarados has shaken it so much its teeth can't even match the strength of Ember's beak anymore. It can struggle but for naught, as Cuddles sits on its back. It tries to bend its body around to shake Cuddles off before trying to bite down on him.

 

Gyarados #3's Bite (3600 Atk Value) on Mr Cuddles

 

Gyarados #5 is fast asleep.

 

[The Gyarados have been neutralized as a threat, aside from Cathode's Gyarados]

RADOVAN

*+Zeta, Alpha, Omega*

 

Music: Utopia (Past)

 

Alpha flinches at Radovan's reponse, looking away. "I don't know what Uno would want now, for I am merely her past. Her present is different from me, but Omega knows what she wants. Omega is her future, so she's the conclusion of Uno's life. She lived through this in her past, the past which is Uno. So if Omega says Uno wants this, then that is what should be." Her voice gains some determination as she speaks of Omega. "When we create the perfect body for Uno, she will be set on her path to the future that is Omega. My role is mostly done, I set these events in motion."

 

"But if Omega is the one telling you what to do, wasn't she the one to set those events in motion?" Zeta responds in confusion, looking at Radovan for confirmation. Meanwhile, Alpha stares at the young girl, eyes glistening and mouth agape, before she bites her lip and grabs the veil again, pulling it over her eyes. "No. That was my role. And it's over. I can disappear when Uno's body is built. That is all I can do now."

 

You can see Omega reaching the hole in the dome. She's high enough that you can't make out any finer details on her anymore.

SENA

*+Rita*

 

Music: Watchful Eyes

 

Before Sena rushes through the door and moves upstairs, he catches a glimpse of Rita's expression wavering momentarily into that of fear.

 

Once he opens the door and enters the hall, several Baltoy bar his way, but Verna and Dolly clear them with ease. Dolly, however, flies down instead of up, moving towards her master, while Sena, Zeromaru and Verna move up. Two floors up and Sena bursts through the door leading to the roof. Looking over the side of the roof, he sees Rita and the "parents" must've entered the building, as they're nowhere to be seen.

 

"Sena, what!? We can't have any delays, this is the perfect opportunity as they're finally split up! Gah, you handle the situation on your side, I bet I can handle Alpha on my own!" The trasmission from Betani cuts afterwards and Sena is left alone, but only momentarily.

 

"Sena? Why're you running from your parents?" A voice calls out to him. "Your mother and I were so happy to see you again! Aren't you happy to see us too?"

 

"S-sena!"

 

A loud explosion is heard as the door leading to the roof bursts open, nay, the entire flooring of the roof bursts open as three Claydol fly out of the building. But not only them... Sena can see Rita and Dolly being levitated by some sort of psychokineting energy emanating from the third Claydol in the back. "S-sena help!" Rita yells in pain, as her body is contorted by the energy. "bAD gIRl" The voice emanates from the Claydol levitating her. "DiSObeYInG yOUR mOThErrrrrRRrRRRrrR"

 

"Y-you're not my mom! D-dolly is-! I n-never trusted you! Aaaargh!"

 

[Was Rita really trying to bait Sena before? Earlier, she seemed intent in believing that these clay dolls weren't really anyone's parents so why would she just naively believe them all of a sudden? Letting Dolly fly down to her probably provoked the Claydol "parents", putting Rita in danger. Had Sena believed in her, this could've been made easier...]

"Wh-what?" Cathode took a step back suprised, even if she had expected the possibility of this happening.  Her legs wanted to give out but she knew completely collapsing would have been the last mistake of her life. The gyarados' pokeball was still in her hand, which was fortunate because she would surely clumsily fumble for it in her panic and probably drop it. She wasted no time in clicking the recall button.  "Re-return!"

[IntSys]

Emmanuel 

 

With the last Gyarados neutralized just in time by Cathode, Emmanuel finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's leave the Gyarados to the other cadets. Our Pokemon could use a bit of a break." He said, brushing the dust off his clothes. It just occurred to him that they were still in their casual clothes, making them stick out really unnaturally amidst such a time. But it wasn't anything he could really help with.

 

Then, he turned to Nicaea, who had just managed to spray down a nasty Gyarados, and gave her a thumbs up. "We couldn't have done it without you. It's time for you to get some rest."

 

Nicaea answered with a confident smile, and returned to her ball.

 

 

Emmanuel looked towards the seas where Uno had disappeared into. Aside from the swarm of hostile Gyarados, there had been hardly any echoes coming from there. "Radovan, Sena... I hope things are looking up for you guys as well," he muttered.

[rustytengo]

Joy sighed as she munched on her chips. Seeing the battle was in hand and definitely not wanted to do more work she nodded in agreement with letting other cadets handles the rest of the Gyarados. "Okay, we're done Mr.Cuddles. Now come back for snack time." She called out the the Munchlax.  Upon being called for snack time Mr. Cuddles just casually smacked the Gyarados that was attaking him aside and stopped fighting, turned back and begun to waddle back to Joy as fast as its small legs could carry it. Upon getting back to Joy he sat down next to her as she handed him a bag of chips that he quickly devoured.
