Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lancer watched as Lykas appeared near the farthest edge of Pan's glacier. Mr. Mime's Reflect shattered under Lugia's attack after a moment and the ice exploded apart, leaving dozens of smaller glaciers scattered across the calm.

"Alright, Lanturn, let's try something else. Use Screech!" the boy ordered quickly. Lanturn nodded and inhaled deeply.

Lugia could see Wendy and her Altaria off in one corner, the Altaria's body beginning to crackle as it used a Dragon Dance, and in a flash, an Ancient Power was blasting her way. The sea water rose and turned, twisted and churned as Lugia's prehistoric power gurgled forth from the depths. The ocean seemed to be angry and willing to seek it's own revenge as a massive hand-like fin formed from the water and swatted Wendy away. Altaria, as ready as it had been, was sent hurtling into the sea.

Lykas fell into a dance that followed an ever changing tempo, blocking each of Wendy's blows. "Stand still!" the brunette cried in anger. "Sorry, darling, I don't feel like getting skewered." Lykas replied as he danced around her and stabbed fiercely at her lower stomach. "But I think you'd make a lovely treat, frozen!" he cried.

Lancer nodded at hearing Lykas' call and had Lanturn use Icy Wind on the teen. The brunette practically shrieked at the frigid wind and jumped away from the sensation. Landing on the slippery, and melting, ice, she slid backwards several feet, stopping just shy of falling into the ocean. "Altaria!" she cried, urgently.

"Rrriiiaaa!" came the melodious call as the fluffy clump of draconic bird erupted from the water, catching the falling female with its fluffy wings. "Dragonbreath that annoyance!" she screamed as the dragon carried her into the air.

Altaria didn't get the chance to attack as Lugia blasted through the air, it's eyes blazing blue. "Ggyyyaaaaoouuuu!" it cried as it let out bursts of psychic energy with Extrasensory, attacking everything it could see. Wendy and Altaria both crumpled up and screamed as their minds suffered what felt like being run through a paper shredder.

Lykas felt the attacks effects as well. "Gaaahhhhhh!" he screamed as his body tensed, feeling as if he were being stretched apart at his very seams. His weakness to Psychic Pokemon wasn't anywhere near gone, he was just used to Mykel, it would appear.

Lancer, Anna and Terk all felt the effects, as did their Pokemon. Only Pan was left standing and capable of keeping Lugia distracted. She could see the Aegir's Sapphire floating harmlessly above the waves, and she remembered what Anna had told her.

"The kid's not part of our war. Let him take the rock and we'll finish this another time, when it's just us. He's got a good reason for going through all this. We're just here because we have to be. So bad girl or not, help us help that kid?"

"I knew I never should have agreed to that...." the raven haired woman sighed as she directed her Wailmer to use Bounce and distract Lugia long enough for the others to recover.

Anna awakened from her Lugia induced daze shortly after Lancer. She and Mr. Mime were running along the length of the glacier they were standing on. Mr. Mime was using Magical Leaf to continuously attack, trying it's best to keep the mighty creature away from Lykas.

Wendy awakened next, her Altaria under her like some fluffy cushion. She ignored Lugia and turned to Lykas and Mykel. "We'll finish of this little punk right now, Ally. Us your Draco Meteor!" the little, blue clad wench cried.

"I don't think so!" Mykel cried as he shot into the air. He'd been hiding behind Lykas all this time, continuously using Calm Mind. An intense blue glow surrounded the Ralts as he used Psychic, his mental energy flaring out and ensnaring the Altaria before it could issue it's attack.

"Let's see how Lugia likes a taste of Dragon energy." the Psychic type said with a smirk as he forced Altaria to turn in the air and face Lugia. "Do it!" he cried as he released his hold on the beast, which had been preventing the creature from releasing it's attack.

"Taaaarrriiiaaa!" Altaria cried in protest as it was forced to direct its attack at the wrong target. Wendy grimaced as she watched, from atop the bird's back, as they were forcibly used against Lugia. "Not fair!" she screamed as she flailed her arms about, positively throwing a tantrum now.

Lugia looked up at the screaming, only to see an enormous blast of draconic power flyign at it. "Gyyaaaooouuu!" it cried out as it attempted to use Extrasensory to stop the attack, or at least to move it. It didn't seem to be working at first, but when the attack grazed past the bird, barely clipping it, it became obvious just how powerful the beast was.

Terk and Dragonite heard Wendy's call and rushed to her side. "Wanna give it a double Dragon Rush?" she asked. "Yeah, We gotta stop that idiot." Wendy replied.

"Dragonite!"

"Ally!"

"Dragon Rush!" they called together. Dragonite and Altaria nodded in sync, their bodies taking on a powerful glow as they charged all of their draconic energy into an adrenaline rush effect.

"Let's go!" Wendy cried as Altaria pooled it's energy deep in it's body.

"Attack!" Terk cried as Dragonite signaled it was ready. The two shot through the sky towards Lugia, slamming it with powerful attacks over and over again. The attacks scattered smoke and downy feathers from the clash, both Lugia's and Altaria's.

Lugia let out a defiant cry as it's eyes took on an unholy glow and it's ancient might became known once more. The calm sea churned and boiled as stones of immense proportions rose from the depths and rocketed through the sky, slamming into Altaria and Dragonite, dealing excellent damage to them both. Neither liked that attack very much, nor did their female trainers, both of whom were barely able to avoid being killed by it.

Lanturn's Thunderbolt struck Lugia hard, sending crackling lightning shooting across it's body. Lugia shrieked in pain as it twisted and writhed in the air, attempting to escape the unpleasant sensation.

Mr. Mime's Psybeam grazed past it as it fought against Lanturn's attack. Either the mime had horrible aim or Lugia was simply moving to much to get a decent lock on it. The attack didn't seemed to do any damage, but then, Lugia was also not all that affected by the many other attacks being landed on it.

Just as Mykel's Icy Wind plowed through the warm sky at it, it's body blazed with a crimson aura. "Gyyyaaooouuu!" it screamed as it spread it's wings wide, tucking them in a moment later.

"It's Sky Attack!" Anna warned as the mighty creature dove low and lashed out at her and Mr. Mime. Its large wing brushed the glacier upon which they stood, shattering the icy foothold into many pieces. "Aaaahhh!" "Miiiimmmeee!" the two cried as they were knocked from their places and dumped in the drink.

"Look out, Lanturn!" Lancer cried as he dived into the water and swam away from Lugia as fast as he was able. Lanturn was unable to get away from the speedy attack, even as it dived beneath the waves. Lugia cut through the water's surface and slammed the fish hard as it descended. Lancer could only see bubbles burst at the water's surface as his Pokemon cried out in pain. "Lanturn!" he wailed as he swam towards his Pokemon.

No-one knew where Lugia was now that it was hiding under the water.

Dragonite blasted through the air towards Lykas. It had it's sight locked on the boy for it's mission and knew what it was supposed to do. "Remember, Drago, make it look like you're angry and trying to hurt him. We want him to think this is an accident." Terk reminded the Dragon type. "Draaagggoooo." Dragonite keened out softly, signalling that it understood.

Lykas looked up just in time to see, not Dragonite coming at him, but Lugia bursting from the sea with it's mouth agape, wind and light spiraling within the open maw. "Gyaou!" it shrieked out as it unleashed an Aeroblast, aimed right at Lykas.

"NO!" came four shouts as the boy's life flashed before his eyes. I'm a dead man! was the only thing he could think before the sound of impact met his ears. He went cross eyed for a moment as immense pain washed over him. It took a moment for him to realize that he'd never felt the attack strike him. "Huh?" he murmured as he looked up at Lugia. His vision was blocked by Mykel, a shadowy aura surrounding the Pokemon as he used Destiny Bond again. "Mykel!" he cried as he ran forward and tried to pull Mykel back to the ground.

"I don't have the energy to take it with me!" the small Psychic type cried in pain and regret. I'm sorry, Lykas!" he said as the shadowy aura faded away and the Ralts fell into Lykas' arms.

Lugia wasn't down for the count, but it was definitely not going to be fighting for a moment. Terk and Dragonite, who'd been knocked backwards and into the sea when Lugia emerged, finally got back in the air and shot around the beast, grabbing Lykas and Mykel from the glacier as they passed.

Lykas opened his eyes as he floated to the water's surface. The frigid air of the Blizzard chilled him to the bone. "Damn you!" he cried as he looked up at Lugia.

Lancer grabbed Mare and picked the small Phione up, holding it close to his chest to keep it safe. "Phi phi!" the Water Type sea prince cried as it's flotation sac and head ribbon glowed. The Blizzard suddenly came to a stop, even the snow itself freezing in place for a moment.

"I think....it took control of the storm." Anna said as she looked at Mare, then back at Lugia. "I don't think it's gonna like that!" she cried, realizing what Mare had in mind.

The Phione's head ribbon lashed out and the Blizzard suddenlt condensed into a comet sized ball. The Blizzard Meteor shot through the sky and slammed into Lugia, freezing part of it's body as the intense cold enveloped its still wet body.

Lykas took that chance as he swam over to the ship and began throwing pieces of it together. "I hope you guys know how to windsurf." he told the others as he put the last piece on a hand made wind board.

"No problem!" Wendy cried as she and Altaria came over to him and Wendy began helping him put the ships pieces together into several more. "Don't think this means I like you, kid!" she said after a moment, thoroughly meaning it.

"Never crossed my mind." Lykas replied. "Besides, I still think you're a slut." he told her as the two of them finished a third board.

"Follow my lead!" Lykas called over the howl of the Dagon storm. Anna and Lancer nodded as they followed him, the latter still clutching Mare tightly to him.

The three heard the crunch and crack of breaking ice as Lugia broke free of it's imprisonment. "Let's go! Now!" Anna cried as she and Lancer followed the waves out into the storm.

Lykas opened his board's sail and let the wind propel him forward, picking up great speed in the storm's powerful squalls. He cut through the smaller waves head on and skated along the length of large ones until he was able to clear the tops of them, jumping into the air, where he pulled in the sail to reduce drag and prevent him from simply being blown away.

Anna and Lancer copied his motions as best they could, finding that it wasn't as hard as they'd assumed, but that might have been attributed to the life or death situation they were currently in. "Look out, Lykas! Sharpedo and 2 o'clock!" Lancer cried as he leaned forward a bit to try and speed up.

Lykas barely heard Lancer and turned to look, seeing the moderately sized Dark type coming at him quickly. "I can't let that thing hit me!" he reminded himself. Rough Skin would be enough to bleed him dry this far from land and fresh water. He skirted around the Sharpedo and found that it was after Lancer, not him. "It's after Mare!" he called to Anna as the Sharpedo leaped from the water at Lancer.

Anna cut towards the boy, just barely getting there in time to slam the flat side of her Rapier into the beast's snout. The action managed to deflect Sharpedo knocking it into the water again and under Lancer.

"Nice moves!" Lancer called as he smirked at Anna.

"I wouldn't need 'em if you weren't such tempting shark bait." Anna remarked back, her voice caught up int he wind and barely reaching Lancer's ears.

Lykas was the only one of them to see the enormous shape rising from the depths. It was hard to tell yet what it was, other than that it was ungodly huge.
