While the self procalimed master spoke, the Tyranitar watched as his sadnstorm dissipated. It had served its purpose welll enough to break theconnection so that he was no longer bound in the air, an dit was not like he couldn't whip up something else iif the master decided to attempt to try to toy with him again. Yet before the pokémon could start his monologue the Tyranitar had already made up his mind "Deal" he replied simply and then let the being continue his speech.

It didn't make Kaiser change his mind, he cared little about the words that followed, words of a forgotten past. It didn't make him doubt himself in the least, he knew he could win... everything could be defeated, it was the way of the universe after all that evertything that was created could be undone. "Your past sound grim like my own... Cowered in the blood and corpses of fallen foes" he said not mentioning the battling any longer as measuring would get them nowhere and only waste more time.

The Tyranitar faced his gazes towards the sky instead and starrred at it. "The First time I sat eyes upon the sky it was with hatred in my eyes for all things living in the light was my enemies... No happy little family awaited me, no... endless torture and slavery. Every wake moment was filled with digging deeper and deeper until the heat became unbearable... and then they threw me into the fire and rapidly cooled me down, I was brought to the brink of death more times than once and yet they rekindled the life within me only so they could forge me into their tool. Day after day... week's that became months, years passed. And as I evolved it only got worse... they hit me until I no longer felt pain, and forced me to do battle until my foes laid lifeless at my feet. Most of those foes were my family, and I was the one who had killed them. When I evolved again my claws was harder than diamonds, and blacker than the darkness of the mountain that I dug... But one day they could restrain me no further, I've grown to strong for them to handle... and so I escaped, I slaughtered every last one of them, erased their friends and family's from the surface of the earth and left none behind to witness it. I spent years hunting their remains down to the last one. " he said as he starred at the sky before chuckling slightly.

"In the beginning it was only about survival, then about revange... after that simply anger and for the challange as none could stand in my way. Legends... Megas... And whatever typing someone had no longer mattered. But Cry me a river... Its a past long in the past now" he said and chuckled further. "I am free now, bound to no rules but my own... I go where I want... when I want. You can rule the world if you wish... or destroy it for all I care, In the end, it will do me little difference."he said as he sat down to wait, the only thing he wanted at the moment was more to drink while he waited.

He looked to the others as they reached the opening, it was indeed very strange that they hadn't encountered more resistance on the way. Everything around them started looking more and more like a trap, and as his friends suggested that they would use themselves as bait he gasped to himself. Zaru too thought that it was the best way... however, Milton did not quite agree. As Devon said he didn't want anyone to need to act like bait, it was a bad idea as they didn't know what they were dealing with exactly. "I agree with Devon... Nobody should need to be baits. If they get desperate they might try to use Krissy as a Shield, and without having more intel they really have the home field advantage here... I don't think the distraction tactic will work." he said sincerely as he really didn't believe in the plan.

He took a deep breath after and snuck slightly closer before he let his body alter again to illusion, once it finished he would look like a Spinarak. "Perhaps I could infiltrate their ranks and scout ahead for Krissy, that way I could perhaps free her if possible or at least figure out how strong our opponents are. " he suggested as he looked back to the others, he realized it might not be too much different from the bait plan, but if they weren't too well organized they probably wouldn't suspect one of their own to be an enemy in disguise, it could also mean he could gather more info before they launched their attack.

The Trio of girls stayed vigilant, and when they caught the hint of foul tactics they quickly leaped behind rocks and trees nearby as a barrage of web was fired over the area. They might not been able to dodge, but here in the brush they could at least take shelter from the barrage. Yet before they had a proper chance to respond to the attacks a very large number of hostiles came out around them. Surrounded and outnumbered the trio looked around at their opponents with mixed emotions. "Well, looks like the whole gang is here..." Lurrie said as she counted the fifteen opponents, it was indeed a staggering number... much more so than their combined team with the others. Here it meant five for them each... and even with everyone here they would still probably be outnumbered.

So, waging the odds, Lurrie knew she could probably take down a few if she could use disharge a few times to hurt the whole bunch of them at once... and then with their combined strength they could probably deal with the pawns. Leaving the obvious leaders of this rabble. She doubted it would go very well however... so, it was time for a new tactic. 'let me handle this' she signaled to her team mates before walking slightly ahead of the group, not far away enough to not be able to fall back if needed. "I'm Sorry about the intrusion, I assume your the leader of this Wild Webs gang?... We came here seeking a friend of ours, a kid like us that we heard was kidnapped... we assumed it was some perverted drunkard that had gotten to much to drink... not a mighty organisation that now had expanded their territory to our village's playground" Lurrie said bowing slightly to the much larger pokémon as she spoke politely.

She smiled faintly while staying calm, "I Would normally of course ask that you kindly return our Frind. But I suppose you Took her for a reason?... May I hear what it is?... Perhaps we could strike a bargain?" Lurrie said as it was clear that these pokémon didn't seem to knock them out and drag them off at sight or something, that usually meant that they either wanted to brag... or had a exterior reason. She guessed that it was something this guy wanted anyway, so why not save them the trouble of beating up more kids before getting what they wanted?

[Lilac Meadow]

@Ninian @Light Lord @Iatos @Polaris North
The twins listened to the group discussion. Celty and Zaru seemed to think being a decoy would work, however Devon and Milton were against that idea. Milton thought he could disguise himself as one of them, but Rico shook his head. "No way Milton, you can't see the big picture. Look around, this place isn't strung about like some shabby makeshift camp, they know what they're doing. That being said, they'd probably take notice of an odd Pokemon out pretty quickly. In fact, I bet they have guards all over this place right now, just watching it like a Braviary."

Lulu kept looking through the bushes, trying to survey the area in intervals to avoid detection. "I think I see them, up in the trees. Spinarak and Joltik. About 4 of each. If we rush them, we might be able to take them out quick enough to grab Krissy and bolt!" She whispered. Rico solemnly nodded his head. "It's risky, but It's better than splitting up and keeping us limited on moves. I say we go for it, what about you guys?" He asked, looking over the group of Pokemon around him.

[Lilac Meadow]

@Iatos
Be it may that Ariados was the leader of the Wild Webs Gang, and he was possibly their strongest member. But, he had one flaw, his hearing would fail him from time to time. He caught bits and pieces of what the little kids had to say. After hearing them, the Ariados flashed red with anger.

"Leader of the Wild Webs Gang... perverted drunkard... not a mighty organization... return our friend... strike..."

Out of what the small Shinx had said, that was all he had heard of it. "So, I'm a perverted drunkard, eh? The Wild Webs aren't mighty? And you think a threat will get me to return that little girl we caught snooping around? No way! In fact... I think a few more captives will increase our chances out here. Truss 'em up boys!"

The Spider Pokemon did as they were told. They were too scared of their boss to tell him what they had truly said, and did as they were told. They trussed up the young Pokemon and forced them to eat Sleep Seeds, making them easier to haul off. "This is so morally wrong in so many ways... but it's the bosses orders, and you don't cross the boss." Said one of the Galvantula as the other three hauled off the intruders.

[Sky Tower]

@Polaris North @floodtalon
Bisharp nodded, and waved forward. It seemed... clear... that wasn't right. "Keep on your guard, he could be anywhere up there. Let's move." The others nodded and followed the Bisharp up the final set of stairs. This would truly be their toughest, and potentially last battle. They all knew this, and they all went forward.

[Sky Tower Summit]

It was abnormally quiet on the summit. There was no wind blowing, no clouds moving, nothing but silence. The team moved cautiously along the sides, taking every precaution. Then they heard it, the booming voice. "So, you did come back! I warned you, if you came back here you would experience pain like you've never felt before! And... you did not heed my warning, you monster!" Suddenly a form flew right over their heads at tremendous speed. It circled overhead, and soon it zoomed right down to the summit.

"You have violated my sacred sanctum, for that, you shall pay dearly! Prepare!" The form was undoubtebly the Sky Dragon Rayquaza, and he was pissed to an extreme very few had pushed him to in the past. The rage was clear in his eyes, and suddenly he began to glow. "Whatever tricks you have, Rayquaza, they won't work on us! Everybody, get ready!" Said Bisharp, as the other Pokemon went scrambling into Battle Positions. "You truly are a fool to think this is some TRICK! Behold, the power of MEGA EVOLUTION!" Rayquaza shouted as he rose into the air, revealing it's menacing Mega Forme. "Mega... Mega Evolution? He didn't warn us about this!" Said Machamp, still not backing down from the challenge. "This... just became much harder..." Said Beartic, growling at the dragon. "What have we gotten ourselves into?!" Said Hippowdon, moving to his side and preparing to attack. "Prepare for the battle of your life, and the cause of your death!" Yelled Rayquaza as he flew up into the air.

[Infinity Mountain Peak]

@Iatos
The Master listened as the Tyranitar gave his grim tale, a tale that would have brought many to tears. His tear ducts had long sealed themselves, though. He felt a somewhat kindred spirit in this one. "You're truly something special, such raw power, with no regards for the rules set by this... society. A kindred spirit to me, I believe. I too betrayed those who I believed to be my family, my friends. I watched them fall before me, before I was brought down by one whom I once called 'Brother'."

He let his psychic power flow around him, examining him further. "So tell me, if there was no society as it is today, if the world had no laws, no rules, no governing power, how would that make you feel? Would you feel the same, would it feel odd to be breaking no rules? Would you then make your own rules the way you wanted things to be run?" He asked, then shook his head. "Never mind that, i'm babbling. As I said, if they fail in their mission, we will go in and finish the job. They would have at least tired the beast out. If they succeed, I may reveal the location of other Legendary Pokemon so you may see for yourself why defeating them is such a task. I see in your mind you've battled many strong Pokemon in the past, but you've never faced anything like an enraged Legendary Pokemon. It is something you cannot do alone, and I want you to see why."

[Valiant Village]

He had double checked, even triple checked, everything there was to check for the Village Festival. Everything was ready. Tomorrow many Pokemon would be journeying here to partake in the festivities the following day. It would be interesting to see who would arrive, so many familiar faces most likely, with some new ones he'd bet... suddenly he felt a nudge, he turned and found it was Ox the Gogoat, one of his pretty much right hand Pokemon along with Razor. "Ox, do you need something... you look worried..."

The Gogoat turned to his Treasure Bag and pulled out a flyer with his mouth, handing it to Spirit. It was an Outlaw Notice for the surrounding area. "How long ago were they seen?" The Grass Type looked up at the slowly setting sun. "About seven hours ago, they were seen in the Rapid Ravines just south of here, that's too close for my liking, Guildmaster." Spirit looked at the paper again, and out towards Lilac Meadow. "It couldn't be... Omen, protect them with your life..." He mumbled.

[Valiant Village - Spirit's Guild]

@Banana
Razor was a bit caught off guard by the small Ice Type's request. "Well... the thing is, I'm not part of a team anymore. I work strictly for the Guild, kind of the Guildmaster's Right Hand Pokemon, along with Ox that is." He crossed his arms thinking. "If the Guildmaster DOES accept you though, there are quite a few younger Pokemon who are close to graduating to full work here at the Guild that would probably love to be on a team with you." Razor told a half truth there, yes it was true that Rico, Lulu, Milton, and Zaru were close to gaining full Guildship, but they'd never even met this floating Ice Cream Cone, who knows how they'd react to him...

He noticed a glimmer of light floating up from the Sawk and Throh Dojo just down the street, it was strange. It was like an orb. He didn't pay much attention to it, he had some Guild matters to attend to.

[Lilac Meadow]

@Light Lord@Polaris North@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo
Hanging her head, the Mawile would let out a soft sigh. "Thanks for not wanting to use me as bait, but I really don't mind, all right?"

Finally, the Riolu twins would raise a valid non-morally-charged opinion regarding strategies. Perhaps they were right. If she were being used as bait, the others would be left undefended. If they were already aware of their presence, a preemptive strike would serve no purpose. Placing two hands behind her head, she would stretch before looking over the group, "If you believe that is the best course of action, then I will follow your lead. Just... do be careful, all right?"

Valiant Village: Spirit's Guild
@Shiny Keldeo
"Oh!" the Vanillite said, with a bit of a saddened look. However, it went away when Razor brought up the younger Pokemon, and was replaced with a bit of a perky look. "Oh sweet! Thanks a bunch for telling me Razor!" Kargool smiled wide as he started off towards the village square in pursuit of the Guildmaster. "Wish me luck, I'm off to go join a guild!" After a few minutes of... "walking", the Vanillite caught glimpse of Spirit, and headed toward him. "Hello, guildmaster Spirit... am I interrupting something important?"

[Lilac Meadow]

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North@Ninian
Devon wasn't really a fan of the whole idea of letting anyone run out there alone, nodding his head as Rico pointed out the flaws in both Zaru and Milton's plans. "He's right guys. If you sneak out there alone, and you get found out, it's gonna be trouble."

Lulu seemed to suggest a way better plan. Sure, it was still risky, but uniting their efforts for one full on assault seemed somehow better in Devon's mind. The Totodile grinned and gave thumbs up as Rico turned back to ask for their thoughts on the plan. "Sounds good to me. I bet I could knock a few of those bugs out of the trees with a couple Water Guns. Just tell me when to go and where to aim, then we'll get this party started."

@Iatos@Light Lord@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo



"Well, whatever you guys decide, I'm go for it." Zaru said with a shrug. Seriously, if they went with the bait idea, he would be willing to roll with it. But if they're really going for a full-frontal attack, then fine. Fighting would be more than fine to him. He had the advantage over those bug types anyway. He then looked at the tree to where the four spinaraks and joltiks. "Rush 'em huh?" He muttered to himself. Getting up there would be easy enough, that is, if that's what they'll give him.

He then took another peek at the tree, seeing what the quickest way to get up is. Then he could lose them easily in the trees. Bugs can't jump as fast as monkeys after all. If they still haven't beaten the others yet, then he'll just come back and finish those guys off. Unless there were others of course.

@floodtalon@Shiny Keldeo



Drogo followed them up and then looked at the great and powerful Rayquaza. He mentioned something about coming back. The master must've left some sort of mark with them or something because he was pretty sure none of them have even been to the Sky Tower. Oh well. The legendary rambled on and when Bisharp told him that they knew every trick up his sleeve.

Then Rayquaza mega evolved. Warning bells were sent off in his head but he didn't back off. He spread his wings and then flew up. "Mega evolution eh? You gotta teach us that." Drogo said. He prepared himself for the battle. This mega evolved Rayquaza will be much more harder to dodge, his attacks would be much more faster if he wasn't mistaken. He should just be aware and try to work with the others with his attacks.

@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North

Valentine followed everyone up and watched as Rayquaza descended from above, ranting about them coming back. Which was weird, because he would probably have remembered raiding a dungeon in the sky. Maybe he did it while he was alive? Whatever, doesn't matter now.

Valentine prepared a Confuse Ray in the hand that wasn't holding the Shadow Ball, but it stopped when the unthinkable happened. He Mega Evolved. Valentine's eyes widened and he threw the compressed Shadow Ball at Rayquaza. This had not been a situation he considered. "Alright, let's take down the oversized lizard."

@Shiny Keldeo

The Tyranitar raised a brow to the other one's words, he overlooked the land from the height as he had little else to do but once questions rose his attention shifted. "I have traveled in lawless land, and I've traveled in those where they have set rules... It have made little difference. I've done things only for my own interests from the time I left all feelings and emotions behind, I cannot say that It would make any difference if I break any rules or not as the only ones I follow are my own. " he replied and glanced to the sky again, he wondered what type of battle he was missing out on up there, but in the end... there was little he could do about it now.

When the one he spoke too told him he looked into his mind he smirked slightly, "Legends... I've once been reveared as a god myelf... a Legend in my own right. But that life was nothing for me, so I erased it. In this world even a small rock can become a deity if it has someone to believe in it. Legendary pokémon may be called that for the powers they wield or the feats they accomplished... Enraged or not they are still pokémon... They can be defeated in one on one combat by someone of great strength or right set of skills. I've slaughtered countless pokémon in a fit of rage myself. And another pokémon is no different, Legendary title or not" he replied and chuckled faintly, he might not totally agree with the masters vision on things... but that was what made individuals unique after all.

@Light Lord@Polaris North

Hearing his team mates settle for battle he nodded slightly, it was obviously risky but so would any other form of battle be. He nodded before getting ready to rush. "Alright, I am ready to rumble" he said and checked on the others before he got ready to charge. "I take the right flank. Ready to go on your command " he said as he was to the right of everyone, he felt it was best to tell where he was going so not everyone rushed the same spot and ended up colliding or something which would only end them in serious trouble.

Hearing the large spiders response Lurrie's eyes narrowed, it was indeed very inconvenient that the pokémon apperently didn't hear very well and she muttered about it under her breath. Hearing the order to capture them she grunted knowing their odds was slim... of course they could make a heroic last stand here. "Well that's inconvenient... plan c" she said and her friend was about to use a Escape orb when they realized that for some reason it didn't work. "It dosen't work... " Jinxie said slightly paniced, Lurrie sighed "We Yield then... I suppose" she said as they soon was horded and rounded up. Being force fed sleep seeds they could only hope that they would be treated with respect as they couldn't for some reason do anything about it.

[Lilac Meadow]

@Ninian @Light Lord @Polaris North @Iatos
Rico and Lulu nodded. Slowly the two were formulating a plan. "Lulu and I won't be too useful at long range, but we have an idea. You all have longer range moves, so you take out the guards in the trees." Lulu picked up where Rico left off. "While you're doing that, we'll speed in with Quick Attack and grab her, then jump right out. We don't have time for a long, drawn out battle. We'll also be a bit of a distraction while you guys can set up."

The twins got ready to rush in, storing up their energy as they prepared their Quick Attack's. "We've got your back, Lulu." Said Flare, with Peach and Lyla right behind them. Lulu nodded, and focused back. In sync, the Riolu Twins rushed out of the brush. The Guards immediately moved their attention to the two intruders, giving the others enough time to set up and open fire. Peach and Flare quickly started attacking a tree on the left, knocking a few guards out.

In the middle of it all, Rico and Lulu managed to reach Krissy, who was fast asleep. "They probably made her take something, like a Sleep Seed or something. Let's get her out of here." Said Rico, as the two helped haul Krissy towards the brush. "HOLD IT!" Commanded a loud voice, making everyone stop in their tracks. Everyone turned to the new arrivals, Ariados and his crew. "Think you can bust into our camp and do whatever you please, eh? Toss those ones over there, we've got some uninvited guests to take care of, boys." He ordered his minions, as they literally threw the group of three they had into a nearby tree trunk.

As the Spider Pokemon closed in, everyone braced themselves for battle. Then in a flash, a figure appeared behind the Spiders. "I vowed to let no harm come to these children, and I will keep that promise." He said, jumping over them into the group. It was clear now that it was Omen the Absol. "It doesn't matter how many Pokemon you bring, you're still outnumbered and going down!" Yelled the Ariados as the group closed in.

[Sky Tower Summit]

@Polaris North @floodtalon
A single Shadow Ball went flying towards Rayquaza, but he spun his long, snake-like body around it with the utmost ease, it didn't even touch him. "Valentine, I think you just made him angrier, somehow!" Said Bisharp as the furious Sky Dragon rushed down at them with Dragon Ascent. Everyone went flying, but managed to stand back up. Bisharp fired off a Dark Pulse, with Beartic firing off an Ice Beam. Hippowdon then tried whipping up a sandstorm, only to have it dissipate in moments. "What the..." He remarked, not letting it phase him too much.

Machamp was basically a moving distraction, having no real distance moves to use to affect the Sky High Pokemon. "You're barely scratching him, you gotta use something with some more umph!" He stated, dodging another close flyby by the dragon. "You got it." Said Beartic, firing off a Blizzard, scoring a direct hit on the dragon. But it merely shook off the icy blast and continued its barrage. "Well, we knew this wouldn't be easy... just keep hammering at it!" Said Bisharp, firing off another Dark Pulse.

[Valiant Village]

@Banana
Spirit was deep in thought, worrying about his children. So much so that he almost didn't notice when the little Ice Type from earlier called over to him. "Hmm? Oh, you're not inturrupting anything. I'm just... thinking right now..." Without even looking at the Ice Type, he spoke again. "So, you wish to join my guild? I really must warn you, my training is rigorous, sometimes on a level of even Legendary Pokemon. I'm not easy on anyone too often, and everyone has to do their part to keep the guild running. I want you to be sure that you could truly do that before deciding. Your past experiences mean nothing, your experience as an explorer mean nothing. You start here, you start fresh. Think about that for a bit."

[Infinity Mountain Peak]

@Iatos
Well, he was a seasoned and well traveled Pokemon to say the least. But then when he began speaking about 'Gods'. "Gods? Hmph, there is no such thing. Yes, many Pokemon tend to refer to the Legendary Council as Gods, Deities. But in the end, they are nothing more than Pokemon like you or me. Except these Pokemon have powers beyond some's imagination. Able to bend space and time at will, travel through dimensions, create entire worlds, and destroy them... that's why they are Legends. And those powers are what make them strong, and dangerous to battle alone. I'm guessing you've never actually fought a Legendary Pokemon, or if you have, not one of the level of the Council. You would stand no chance, no matter how powerful you believe yourself to be."

"Yes, there are the stories of young Pokemon defeating these behemoths, but they..." He paused for a moment. "...They had the entire world behind them, thousands, millions, billions, and more, all supporting them in their endeavors. Can you name one who remains on this earth that would support you right now?"

[Southern Island]

It's just past sunset on Southern Island. And two Pokemon are preparing for a long journey ahead of them the next day. "Oh big brother I'm so excited, we haven't been back there in so long!" Said one, flying around quickly and happily. "I know, little sister, but you need to calm down or you'll never get to sleep. We've got a long trip ahead of us tomorrow, you'll need all the rest you can get, i'm warning you." Said the other. "I know, but I'm just so excited I can't sleep a wink! Maybe... maybe they'll be there..." She said, kind of gloomy towards the end. "You never know, now come on, get some rest. Please?" The sister nodded, laying down next to her brother under the starry sky. Although she'd try, there was NO way she was sleeping tonight.

After hearing the guildmaster speak, saying past experiences mean nothing, the training was very tough, and he would start fresh here at the guild, Kargool felt very intimidated. Honestly, he was expecting a small skip in the ranks for being a previous member of a rescue team. Although he was intimidated, Kargool just smiled away. "I came here to start fresh. I wish to join the guild... after I quickly deliver a letter." Kargool hastily went to the mail-outpost in town, and wrote a quick letter back to Team Envirolock. After hearing the training would be rigorous, Kargool thought he would need some backup in order to make it through, mainly because being a pure Ice type was... unfortunate in the long run. A request for backup was sent, and Kargool went back to Spirit. "I am ready to join the guild now, sir." A tone of confidence was in the Vanillite's voice.

[Lilac Meadow]

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North@Ninian
Psyching himself up for battle, Devon gave the Riolu twins a thumb up as they prepared their rush. The two rocketed out of the foliage like rockets, and after waiting a few moments, the Totodile himself dashed out and into the clearing. "Let's go guys! I'll take the right!"

Sprinting out behind Rico and Lulu as the ran, Devon screeched to a halt near the right treeline. His eyes darting upwards to spot a few Joltik and Spinarak stumbling around as they attempted to line up their sights with the two Fighting-types. A smirk came over the blue crocs face as he took a deep gulp of air and reeled back his head. That ain't happening.....Wait, how do I...Ok uh....My stomach kinda feels weird...That's good right?....Oh, ugh.. The reptiles eyes shrunk to the size of pin pricks as his head came lurching forward. His jaws being forced open as a high pressured stream of water blasted out from inside of him to slam into one of the hostile bugs and knock it out of the tree and out of sight. [DEVON used WATER GUN!] All the while, poor Devon was choking and coughing. Not knowing quite how to handle performing what was practically rapid projectile vomiting. "GACK! KUCK!"

Soon enough he got the hang of it however. The water jet soon slowed to a trickle. The clear liquid dripped down his chin as he set his sights on a another guard. The Joltik in question's bristles stood on end as it's four wide blue eyes met Devon's in utter horror. Eyes gleaming, the Totodile brought back his head and blasted the tiny tick with a powerful torrent of H2O. Sending the Electric Bug sky high. A few more shots and the current tree was clear. Spinning around to assess the rest of the situation, Devon jumped when a new voice shouted out. It seemed like the boss of the arachnids had arrived in the form of an Ariados and his cronies. Oh crap....Looks like this is just getting started....And they managed to bag those three jerks from earlier. Now we gotta save them too....

Running over to join his friends sides, the Pokémon once human barred his dagger-like teeth. "Bring it you bug-eyed freaks! We're leaving with our friends and you aren't stoppin' us!"

A white figure then seemingly phased into view behind the crime boss, leaping over him and into the group of kids to reveal that it was that same Absol from earlier. An appreciative smile came to Devon's maw as he nodded to Omen and turned to face the wave of on coming spiders. "Numbers don't mean anything if you can't work together! Guys! Focus on the small ones! Then we break for it!" With his plan offered, [DEVON used WATER GUN!] Focusing the liquid beam on what he hopped was the weakest point of the Bugs group. A few more Spinarak.

@Shiny Keldeo

He only listened slightly to the response from the other as it just about repeated what Kaiser himself had said, and then repeated himself. He had already said that the legendary Pokémon was still only Pokémon, And he basically did not care what this Pokémon who refused to reveal himself said after that. "Only time will tell..." he replied and kept overlooking the land. Then he shut his eyes and a second later seemed asleep even if he still was perfectly aware of what happened.

@Light Lord@Polaris North

Hearing the go command, the Zora didn't wait for any invitations, he leaped up into a tree, quickly leaped from branch to branch as he approach the right flank. Then he leaped out, span around and suddenly a Terrakion landed on the ground with a mighty roar before proceeding to slam through a bunch of the bug types without stopping from out of nowhere.

"Ha ha ha... Omen let's take these puny bugs out. The ten to the right are mine! Sacred Sword×of Justice!" Milton called out with a mighty new voice. Before striking at any bugs he could reach with furious might. (Fury Swipes) of course but another illusion made. Yet, in the spurred of the moment it would be difficult to tell and distracting enough as it was. The Zora didn't wait around, he went with the flow and did what he could.

@Iatos@Light Lord@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo



Before they began rushing in, Zaru had already climbed up to one of the trees and once Rico and Lulu were heading straight for Krissy, he disappeared into the thick of the trees, jumping from one branch to another, speeding through it and gaining momentum. Two guards were knocked out by his Flame Wheel as he activated it while heading towards them at full speed. He aimed a well-timed stop at a branch, waved at the two with his two-finger salute and headed out again. But when a new arrival's voice caught his ear, he stuck close the tree and made sure not to be seen. There weren't any guards left after all.

However, what caught his eye was not the amount of bandits that were before them, but rather the three pokemon they had encountered earlier, the Cat's Grace. There were quickly thrown towards the trunk of the tree that he was standing in but they didn't seem to notice him at all. They were possible hostages so Zaru made sure that none of the spiders would go to them.

He looked at the field. They didn't seem to hesitate to attack the group, now with Omen around, it should be a little bit easier on them. Devon had already scattered the group, taking them out would be a piece of cake. Milton, however, had decided for the more straightforward approach and... well, charged at them. Although Zaru was not really sure if it was an illusion or not.

Zaru had the advantage of surprise on his side. They were too focused on Omen, Devon and Milton to pay attention to the Monkey Pokemon that had lowered himself to the three. He tried waking them up until he realized that they were probably fed Sleep Seeds. They'd have to take care of that later. He released a barrage of [Ember]. He was aiming at the scattered Spinarak to finish them off. He then prepped himself to face any pokemon that turned their attention to him. Let's see how well he can fight.

Drogo flew up to avoid the Dragon's Ascent. Once Rayquaza was adequately distracted by the amount of attacks he was receiving on the other end, he flew around the back and then released Dragon Breath on the other Dragon Type Pokemon in conjunction with Beartic's Blizzard so it should damage him.

Or probably not as much as he thought. He quickly flew some distance away from Rayquaza and started dodging him as it aimed some of its attacks on him. Drogo growled. Indeed, he thought this was going to be hard initially but this was just ridiculous. Ah well, he still had some kick in him to continue this fight. He aimed another Dragon Breath at Rayquaza before flying around again. It was best to keep moving after all.

A slight frown crossed Celty's features. ...Ranged moves? I really don't, but... I suppose Rock Slide? I guess it's super effective against bugs too... Once the Mawile ran through her own plans internally, she was ready to assist.

Taking out the guards was a priority. A white aura overtook Celty's form, as several rocks materialized right over a Spinarak, before raining down over the opponent.

The Mawile was readying another attack when both an Ariados and a friendly Absol arrived on the scene. So this is how it's going to be...

Stepping towards the Ariados, the Mawile would grin; her horned maws would do just the same. "Fight me. I dare you. All of you." Given her absolute immunity to poison, and her resistance to pretty much everything else they could throw her way, she was ready.

Valentine sunk into the ground to avoid the Dragon Ascent, emerging from the ground after the tremors stopped. He continued to throw Shadow Balls and even a Confuse Ray out every now and then. The Shadow Balls were hitting but they weren't doing much.

Valentine frowned as he noticed the progress they were making, the lack thereof to he more accurate. Valentine continued to move around so that he wasn't hit, all the while firing off Shadow Balls and Confuse Rays. If they could just get one good hit in, it would turn the tides of battle.

The spider Pokemon were suprisingly faster than one would expect, quickly dodging the oncoming attacks and... Terrakion? No, something wasn't right, if it was the real one, he would have taken them all out with a single Hyper Beam like they'd heard him do in the past. Must have been some kind of transform move or ability or something, whatever, it wouldn't boost power or anything. But Ariados' focus fell upon the Mawile of the group. She taunted them for sure, probably confident of her type advantage. "Oh, you so underestimate us girly. Take care of the rest, boys. This one's Mine." He ordered, staring down the Steel Type before suddenly burrowing under the ground with Dig.

The Spinarak began firing barrages of Poison Sting towards the group, with the Galvantula firing off several Thundershocks towards the group. The twins grabbed Krissy again and headed for cover, their friends close behind. Flare fired off a few Ember attacks, and Peach a few Thundershocks. Omen was right up front, going after one after the other with a close range Night Slash. It started looking like a war zone.

[Sky Tower Summit]

@Polaris North @floodtalon
It was... not going well to say the least. Rayquaza was either dodging or tanking every attack they threw at him, and firing back at double the power. They were going through their supplies super quickly, already down quite a few vital Reviver Seeds and Herbs. The group had taken refuge behind a somewhat stable wall. "This is impossible, flat out impossible. If it wasn't before, that Mega Evolve definitely made it fact. We haven't left a scratch on that thing!" Said Machamp, who had all but given up on the battle. "I can't summon up my sandstorms, probably that thing's ability. If we had that, it would help at least a little..." The Beartic shook his head. "We're no match for Mega Evolution of that scale, we need to restrategize." Bisharp sighed and nodded. "I say we make a tactical retreat, at least down to the base of the tower. We were way underprepared for this... but I'm not giving up. There's got to be a way to beat him, but we can't think with him..."

A rumble can be heard as Rayquaza smashes through a higher part of the wall behind them with Dragon Ascent, growling at them. "Come, face your destiny to be destroyed, you traitors!" He yelled angrily. "...With him coming after us every five seconds. I've got an Escape Orb here, if I'm right it'll only take us to the base of this place since we had to use those Teleport Gems to get up here. Agreed?" Hippowdon, Machamp, and Beartic nodded, but looked to Valentine and Drago to see their input.

[Valiant Village - Spirit's Guild]

@Banana
Spirit didn't have time to wait for the small Ice Type to return. He had serious matters to attend to. He headed back to his Guild, and began checking over the Job Requests for the next day. He also thought about all who he'd met that day, the Mawile, Clety, had his attention the most. The mixed emotions inside her, something definitely had happened. "Ox, I need you to take a letter to Seelie Village for me." He said, writing out the letter as he said it. "It goes to Baxter of the Seelie Guild, he's the Guildmaster. Big, rough, Stoutland. You can't miss him." He said, finishing up his letter and handing it to his trusty Goat Pokemon. Without a word, Ox nodded, and immediately took off towards Seelie Village. He was used to running errands at night, so this was no problem for him.

Then another Visitor entered the Guild, Spirit felt her presence but didn't lay eyes on her, but her soft voice reached his ears. "Excuse me, you're Spirit, right? I know an Absol named Omen came here earlier today, I'm looking for him. Do you know where he is?" Without turning, Spirit smiled. He'd felt this presence before, long ago. "He should be in Lilac Meadow, it's just outside town. I'd be careful, though, he's on a mission." The girl behind him gained a bit of attitude. "Well, then he'll be glad to see me, I'll go meet him out there and see if he needs some help." The girl then left, leaving Spirit to contemplate this. "So, that was her daughter, I haven't seen her since she was newly hatched... my how they grow..."

Kargool the Vanillite

Valiant Village
As the Vanillite returned to where he last saw Spirit, a frown drooped over his face. "He probably went back to the guild..." Kargool stated, as he started off towards the guild again. He thought about it, and settled on the decision that today has been a rather big day, and Spirit has probably been busy with everything, considering a big outlaw was arrested, there's apparently a festival going on soon, and a bunch of other stuff that Kargool wasn't there to witness. Hopefully he can at least join the guild before nightfall.

Valiant Village: Spirit's Guild
@Shiny Keldeo
Kargool headed towards Spirit immediately, as to just get it over with and to not waste much time. He stood beside Spirit, 'chest' held high, and began to tell Spirit he was ready to join. "Spirit, I am ready to join the guild now."

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North@Ninian
It seemed like everyone was running for it. The attacks of the many bugs had turned unrelenting, all of them focusing their efforts on attempting to hit any of the children with their special attacks. Desperately, Devon's head twisted around at every angle in attempts to find some sort of escape route. The weakness in their ranks that he had blasted at earlier seemed to be filling in fast. The unconscious waterlogged Spinarak being pushed aside by a few Galvantula. His only exit was slipping away fast. Now or never...We all gotta get out of here.

Taking a sharp breath and jumping back out of the way of a rogue Poison Sting, the Totodile landed on his back and tilted his head up to look back to see who was still in the thick of the battle. Notably, Celty. Who seemed to be just waiting around near a hole in the ground for some reason. Scrambling to his feet and hopping around a bit, the panicking croc called out. "Celty! Come on! We gotta go! We already got Krissy! We can kick these bugs butts lat-ERAAAH!"

A horrible pain unlike anything the former human had felt before thrashed around inside of his body as yellow streaks danced around it. A Thundershock fired off by one of the Galvantula had made its mark, and Devon was feeling it's super effects. Crashing down onto his side, the Water-type writhed in agony on the meadow floor and clamped his eyes shut as he let out breathless groans. It hurts....Really bad....I-It still feels like I'm being hit by it....I can't think....We gotta move...

Slowly opening his blurry eyes once more and running them through the chaos, it gave him time to think as he brought his claws to the earth to struggle to push himself back up. ...Why did these guys even do it?...Kidnap a random kid from the village.....What were they expecting to get from this besides a bunch of angry Pokémon on their asses? A low growl seeped out of his throat as his pained expression twisted into one of [Rage]. Did they want money? Was this for ransom? Some sort of pathetic revenge plot that they wanted to take out, on a kid!? A random attack that really didn't have a reason!?....Oh ho. No no. They're not gonna do this....If they wanna fight so bad- A hostile red glow glossed over Devon's deep brown irises as a sharp toothed grin spread across his maw.

I'll give them one.

With the moves influence causing his mind to go nub to the pain racking his body, the Totodile snarled and threw himself into the wall of arachnids around him. Tackling, biting, and slashing at any enemy that was unlucky enough to cross his line of sight.

[Lilac Meadow]

@Light Lord@Polaris North@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo
Furrowing her brows, Celty crossed her arms when the Ariados dug into the ground. "Huh, who know a Bug could dig into the ground. Learn something new every day." Standing her ground, Celty would feel for the tremors beneath her, preparing herself to leap into the air in an attempt to dodge.

Ear twitching, the Mawile glanced over her shoulder to meet Devon's stare. "It's fine, go get her somewhere safe. If I can give you guys a few minutes..."

Gritting her teeth, she prepared herself for the Ariados. I guess if he kills me, whatever. Still though, I should probably try to stay alive if that Totodile is what I think he is...

@Light Lord@Polaris North@Ninian

Attacks flying left and right, whistling past and Cracking with thunder. Milton dodged as many attacks he could but in the barrage of things he eventually was hit by multiple attacks and his form was dispelled in an instant. Yet he spun around before landing smirking slightly to himself as he clearly was enjoying this somewhat. In his eyes it was quite the epic battle, yet as he heard the Toto dies scream behind him he realized that a electric attack had hit his friend. The extraction had already happened and now only the other team needed rescue. Milton bolted past the opponent towards the hollow and then turned toward his friends. "Alright, I got these three, see you on the outside. Milton out" he said as he quickly touched the trio with his paws and then pulled out an escape orb. He held it up in the air and let it's light envelope them all and soon he teleported outside with the three girls hoping that the rest of everyone would be okay. "Someone call the healer... Lady Tzerah? " he said surprised to see her all of a sudden.

@Shiny Keldeo

The Luray walked out from where she had been concealed behind a building at the sight of her daughter. She glanced to the Zorua who quickly sunk down from her gaze yet she gave him a grateful nod which was probably the closest thing to a thank you he would get. "I'll take it from here Milton. Wait for the others then report to the guildmaster. " she said before she threw a small bag to him containing a few hundred pokè. She then went to check on the girls, as she saw that they was quite unhurt and only sleeping she brought them to their homes rather than to the healer so they could wake on their own. She then went through town until she caught the scent of the guildmaster which she used to track him down.

Once she found him she walked inside and approached him. "Spirit... I'd like to speak to you. Is this a bad time? " she asked as she sat down nearby. She sighed as she had a bit on her mind, and was quite unsure how to express herself.
