As soon as Rhyme appeared a pink and yellow Lucario would come out of nowhere and attempt to spin kick her aside the head. Whether or not it succeeded the Lucario would land on the ground and strike a pose, pointing at Rhyme and motioning for her to 'bring it on'.

The chest would open for Leslie and reveal a black sniper rifle with gold colored inlays, similar to an Umbreon. The text for it read, "Mean Look - Effect: "What chu' lookin' at?" - Fires low velocity rounds, targets are marked and alerted to all friends and foes alike, marked targets take increased damage for short periods of time." Connor would see her open the chest.

"A-ah!" Pain laces through her skull as she's sent flying to her feet, tumbling in the dirt. Sparking as she gets back up to steady herself, head pounding, her eyes narrow a little at her opponent. "M-me...? Well, you started it." She figures aiming the gun and firing it a little below the chest would work right? She'll waiting on the gun for now as she doesn't want to hurt the pokemon, so she sends off a Thundershock attack instead...which helps alleviate her headache a bit.

Leslie quickly snatched up the rifle before aiming her pistol up at Connor, hopping o keep him from jumping at her. "Nice and easy there, shorty. Just let me leave alone and we'll do fine." Leslie told the kid, awaiting him to do something stupid for the gun. She knew what to expect for this sort of situation.

Connor looked down in shock as the Shy Keclies went along with Darts. But that wasn't all, as the small army and Darts transformed. They were now an official militia under the hybrid's command.

"Nope" he muttered under his breath, having second thoughts on ambushing him.

He continued to watch the battles unfold, everyone looking "powered up" and far out of his league. Perhaps if he waited long enough out of sight, they'd finish each other off. At the very least, they could weaken themselves enough for him wipe them out. And then, he came the little one making a mad dash for his tree. Connor thought she might have seen him but then realized she was going for the chest below him. He decided to attempt finishing what he started, tossing the Pinsir claw at the girl.

"GET OVER HERE!" he'd feel compelled to shout before jumping down, trying to string her up before firing at her.

The strangely colored Lucario took the Thundershock and yet it seemed like it wasn't going to give up that easily as it leaped off the ground and struck a pose in midair as it sent a flying kick at Rhyme. Just shocking it won't be enough.

Jeeze!! Rhyme barrels away from the Lucario, fingers absentmindedly pulling the trigger and sending a bullet it's way. Lands on her side, grimacing and then scrambling back up as the gun switches to the new bullet.  

[Reno Vantas]

Watching the incoming claw, Leslie sighed as she brought her other mouth in front of her to be wrapped up, allowing her the small chance to fire off a quick shot in Connor's general direction.Attempting to stash the rifle away on her back, Leslie kept trying to shoot the kid with her pistol.

The bullet hits the Lucario in the chest, causing the pink creature to stumble around as it landed on the ground. Somehow that bullet induced confusion in the Pokemon. Lucario wasn't going to give up just yet as it clumsy struck a pose, spun around, and threw an Aura Sphere into the air before falling over its own feet and face planting into the ground. The Aura Sphere would begin to head towards Rhyme.

Rhyme takes the Aura sphere, stumbling back and temporarily disoriented. She shakes this off and sends another thundershock it's way, hoping it stuns it enough that she can deliver a good smack with her tail and knock it out, not kill it.

Rhyme takes the Aura sphere, stumbling back and temporarily disoriented. She shakes this off and sends another thundershock it's way, hoping it stuns it enough that she can deliver a good smack with her tail and knock it out, not kill it.

The Thundershock would do just as Rhyme had hoped. Coupled with the confusion the Lucario was unable to do nothing other than stumble and twitch thanks to its dual status problems. It was a sitting duck.

"I'm sorry, friend, but this has to be!" She scampers over and swings her tail around to fell the Lucario with one, mighty, fluffy smack. Once this is over, however...the blondes courage turns to other things and she hurries away to explore and find a better vantage point and....to also keep on alert. She isn't getting smacked in the head again like that.

As he was jumping down, he noticed he was hit by that new gun Leslie picked up, but he didn't lose a Luvdisc. She began shooting at him, however, Connor quickly moved around the tree. Lodging the scythe portion in to the tree, he could leave her hanging while he took shots at her. He went around the tree where the girl's back was turned before firing at her again.

Dan made his way toward the sound of battle, cautiously moving along. Even if he did have a shield, it didn't mean he was invincible. He sighed as he looked at all the chaos before choosing a target. Guns weren't really his thing but this particular one became a melee weapon once it was empty.

"Screw it" he huffed, unloading all the gun had at Aile.

Hopefully it became more useful to him, rather than dead weight.  

[Reno Vantas]

As the man came swinging around to fire on Leslie, the hybrid turned to fire at him even as one of his shots chipped her down to one heart. Her own return fire would reduce Connor down to two hearts as the two bodies crashed into each other.

'LEVEL UP!' The words appeared in the sky above them as they crashed together, a blinding light enveloping them both. As the light faded down, Leslie and Connor would find themselves in matching pink and blue parkas that seemed to be edged with Cottonee fluff. Small brown boots would cover their feet and similarly colored gloves covered their hands. But the most interesting feature would be the ropes and picks that now connected the pair.

The strangest part of the transformation would be the link the pair now would feel in their mind, almost an instinctual link that would help them tell what the other was thinking or if they might be in any major danger.

Climber Connor and Climber Leslie have scaled onto the battlefield

As the Lucario goes down, felled by the mighty tail attack of Rhyme, the now-familiar phrase of 'LEVEL UP!' would show up above her head. As it does, a small buckle of some kind would appear out of a vortex above the little hybrid's head and lightly fall onto it, bouncing once before hitting the ground. It looked like a rather fancy belt buckle of some kind, and it was emblazoned in the middle with a dark sapphire blue Lucario symbol. Oddly enough, unlike the other people Rhyme hadn't changed too much. Maybe this belt buckle that was begging to be held aloft had something to do with it? It would probably let her morph into something else.

This was all too surreal. Something like a video game Beat would play at the arcade. And then...what is that thing? A buckle? Well now. She blinks, rubbing her head and looking down at the belt buckle. "I guess this will help somehow...?" She puts the gun back in its holster and then takes a moment to pause and wonder how that got there. Buckle in hand, she picks it up, observes it, and then holds it up towards the light, above her head, trying to see the detailing better.

The buckle glows, enveloping Rhyme in its soft glow as it pulses in response to being held aloft. Suddenly the light shines out radiantly, covering her before pulling away to reveal a chromatic blue and white armor has covered the majority of her body from head to tail, the former being garbed in an impressive looking Lucario-esque helmet that looked very sturdy. There was a golden Lucario emblazoned on her chest in a small circle in the very center; a pair of small spikes not unlike the Pokemon the rest of the armor seemed to be based on was placed one in either one of her hands as some kind of offensive weapon. The whole thing gave off the feeling of power, and a blue-ish white smoke rose from it after it had formed.

Go go Power Rhyme has morphed the playing field!

Hearing a small rustle in his heightened state, Reno whipped around to see the strange black masked guys behind him preparing to fire an attack on him. Deciding his smartest plan was to simply throw his ax at the Pokemon, he found the weapon quickly downed by the Thunder Wave before it continued onto hit him. Heaving under the attempt to paralyze him, Reno fired on the special ops unit even as he began to crumple for the moment. If he was gonna be weakened, they got to die.

The Kecleon fly away and into pieces with each burst of Reno's attack, and as Darts and the rest of his army approaches, the Kecleon are clearly determined to do the Psycho in. But Darts raises a hand, magnanimously, as they intend to go for the kill. "No. This one is of far more use to us alive and owing us a debt of gratitude. Take and toss him towards the next closest target and let him go. We have bigger fish to fry." The masked Keclies do as asked, very careful to avoid the grisly rifle fate as their comrades before them, they scuttle and attempt to lift Reno from behind as a group. If successful they were planning on tossing him to the next nearest person in the game, Aile.
