World War Arc Team Mission 2 - The Shadow of War

[Reno Vantas]

Leslie would look towards the others slowly trailing behind her as she and Sub came quickly into the Shadow Sky. Watching as their leader was shot out of the sky by a Hyper Beam, the hybrid turned towards where she heard a Bronzong. "Mine. I got it, I want it, everyone else can do other stuff because this is mine." She shouted, quickly wheeling her Fearow around towards the cloud of darkness. The best part was she could even watch the stream of homing leaves streak through the darkness, giving her a perfect line to where the Bronzong was. Holding two Pokeballs out to her side, the small hybrid would dive off of Mauri towards where she knew the Bronzong to be.

Opening both Pokeballs, Leslie was soon joined on her rapid edescent by an Onix and a Torkoal, both falling along with her towards her target. "Alright, Grunt. Hit the ground and use Earthquake. Mikey, aim a Lava Plume towards where the leaves are hitting." Leslie commanded, smacking the Torkoal to face back-first towards the ground with her second mouth before doing another smack to speed Grunt's descent towards the land. A large dust cloud would kick up as the Onix impacted and the earth began to violently shake and contort, while a torrent of lava was fired from the back of the Torkoal towards where Leslie thought the Bronzong was. Preparing herself by drawing a Great Ball, the Mawile hybrid would smash into the ground and take a moment to wait before she went charging in to throw the device. Had to be sure the thing had actually been hit by any of this. While there had been a nice way to line it up thanks to Terashi, it was best to assume that things had gone bad.

Lykas recalled Naid now as he jumped onto his hoverboard and gave chase after Sub when he chased after Zera. He couldn't get far into the air, lacking a proper flying-type Pokemon of his own, but he managed well enough for the moment. Even if he did snatch up a reluctant Wren and secure him to the board with his ponytails. "Sub knows who you are and he thinks you can be an asset. At least tag along long enough to stay alive and have a chat with us when this is over." He told the man.

Wren gasped as he was snatched up, holding Altissima closer to himself as himself as he breathed in her calming scent. "Fine! I'll go! I want answers anyway." He responded to Lykas after a moment.

Odd ran over to Dissonance and, using Ramses Curse, he bound the Shadow Golurk's limbs so it couldn't attack him and jumped onto his back. "Fly, Dissonance! We're heading to Lumiose City!" The Ghost-type sentinel rocketed into the air, thrashing around a bit as it did. "Get it together, Dissonance! We're falling behind!"

"Luuuurk!" The Ghost-type roared as it shot into the sky over the badlands. As the Golurk flew through the sky, Odd used his Channeling to direct the Pokemon rather than relying on it listening to him. When the pair got out over the badlands and the Shadow Sky began to fall, he recalled the Golurk while still in the sky, tossing another ball into the air beneath him. "Autotomize!" He exclaimed as Entr'Acte appeared, landing feet-first on the flat of the living sword's blade. The Pokemon's body flashed silver for a moment and it grew lighter as it began to float through the air faster, using it's shield as a sort of umbrella to protect Odd and itself(for the most part) from the Shadow-infected rain. It still hurt a bit but, thankfully , his natural immunity after having fought off the virus once before and being purified by Zygarde, made him capable of enduring it without fear of being pushed into a rage like Dissonance might have been. Riding his blade into the fray, Odd called to him as they drew close to the source of the storm. "Shadow Claw!" Jumping into the air, he focused energy into his hands and summoned a length of energy, like a staff, that connected to his partner's hilt. As the duo crashed through the sky, Odd drew back and swung hard.

Entr'acte unleashed a shadowy black blade of energy from the tip of his own blade-shaped body toward the Bronzong some of the others had already attacked, absorbing the energy of the extended hilt Odd had used to empower it, flipping back around to catch the falling Channeler after the attack. "Aerial Ace!" The streak of white light trailing off of Entr'acte's hilt would be the only sign the two had ever been there afterward with the duo shooting off toward Lumiose afterward.

"Recall your Pokemon if you don't want it infected." Lykas warned the brunet riding shotgun on his hoverboard. He ignored the Bronzong as he steered clear of the others battling it and went straight toward Lumiose. Wren recalled Altissima as he had been bid to do and wrapped his arms around the blue-skinned hybrid for fear of falling off the board he was riding.

Amaranth would be doing her best to keep up with Sub and the others as they went into the badlands, making sure to keep close so the Immunizer would remain useful for her and Breeze. The thick clouds would make navigation difficult, but she was sure things could be dealt with. Until, as the Hyper Beam quickly proved, a time approached where it couldn't. A chill went down her spine when what protection they had was gone, and though Terashi's Immunizer would still prove useful for a bit longer, she was nowhere close enough to take advantage of it.

Seeing that others were dealing with the Pokemon that had started the storm and attacked, she took a sharp, deep breath and motioned for her Togekiss to keep after Zera to the best of her ability for as long as that could remain. Without the protection of an Immunizer, it would only be a matter of time before Breeze inevitably succumbed. But, as they flew to work their way to get a shot at attacking Zera, trying to evade the Inkay sentries, all Amaranth could hope for was that there was enough time to do something.

Getting somewhat close enough to attempt some sort of assault, she spoke up to her Togekiss. "Now, Breeze, while we have a chance! Aura Sphere!" Though the attack would be conjured and flung with an attempt at hitting Zera, it was easy for Amaranth to tell she was fighting to keep some restraint and avoid seeing red. Out of instinct, she'd brace herself, ready for the worst.

Leslies and her two Pokemon would not make it off as easily as it appeared Terashi was, all three of them recoiling in pain as the physical waves of energy bombarded them without end. So, in response, the three affected Snagem affiliates did what came to mind as a quick reaction: throwing whatever they could. Namely, Rocks Thrown by Onix, a few spits of Smog from Torkoal, and the Great Ball in her hand by Leslie.

While the rocks would be only so effective, the Smog would have been meaningless if it weren't for Angeal. The Flame thrower would contact the little gas clouds, detonating them in midair to lead the way for Leslie's thrown Great Ball. Which would hopefully do something like cut out the unending Psywave.

As soon as Rhyme saw the sight of the cloud forming, having lagged behind the others in her decision to bring up the rear, she immediately brought her Altaria down and got off him. It feels like bad news, and she'd rather be safe than sorry.

The Pokemon looked at her questioningly, only to have its head caught in her hands and her face pushed up against it. Nothing was said, but the Pokemon knew its trainer had it's health in mind.

Sparks danced along the Hybrids skin, electricity fueled by the desire to get this thing /gone/ and restore the natural balance. She charges forwards in a line, all fours and thankful today was comfortable clothing, using the momentum to throw a Spark in the Brozong's direction as she twists in the movement to get /out/ of the range of the rain, heart pounding in time with the thoughts in her head.

As Weavile utilized Screech one by one would the multitude of Inkay turn to face the source of the ear piercing sound, each one beginning to flash their lights rapidly and cry out themselves. "Kay kay!" They all chimed in unison, sounding like sirens. The next thing Tristen knew he had at least ten Inkay coming straight for him and his Weavile, the squids deciding they could take just them. One by one they would attempt to fire off their signature Topsy-Turvy moves as they swooped down at their prey, the strange erratic energy flying at the hybrid boy and his Pokemon as the various Revolving Pokemon aimed to cripple the intruders.

There's a flapping of ephemeral wings as the resident Dragon-master-in-training lands next to Tristen covered in the cloud of Inkay, reaching for a Pokeball in his jacket. "As much as I love to swoop in dramatically two times in one go, I don't think you're a good fit for the gulags here. Or whatever they call them. Honchkrow!" The capture device spins out to release the debonair black bird, looking a good deal more unruffled than it has in the past what with it being freed of the burden of carrying Darts around. "Mirror Move!"

Honchkrow affixes the Inkay with a steely glance before launching an imitation Topsy-Turvy of its own, the Big Boss Pokemon preparing to send them to Outer Haven as it turns the Topsy-Turvy all... Topsy-Turvy, redirecting befuddling energies of its own design at the scouting party.
