Welcome to Gaia! ::

"s**t!" Night yelled suddenly, as Cera's attack increased, a few of the meteors raining down coming dangerously close to her and Tatsu, "Ok, so these jerks are screwing with the chi again. That's no surprise. But what the hell got into Cera?"

Surveying the battlefield below, Night's focus shifted between Greesix and Ceramew. Clearly, the girl was trying to decide who was the greater threat at the moment. Finally, she motioned for Tatsu to land and quickly slid off his back, "Alright, you lot keep focusing on Greesix. I'll try to calm Cera down. Tatsu, I want you to give them a hand by taking care of that Leaf Storm, then take out Serperior."

Tatsu nodded once before releasing a large Fire Blast, the flames overtaking many of the sharpened leaves before hurtling towards the serpent.

Night quickly turned her attention away from the battle and focused more on the, currently insane, Ceramew, "Cer, I'm sorry, but I have to do something to calm you down."

Before the hybrid had finished speaking, she launched the strongest Fire Blast she was capable of. If nothing else, perhaps this would force Cera's attention to focus more on her than on attacking the others long enough for them to do something about Greesix.

"Yeah, you didn't know? You guys are investments." He quipped, watching Blizz soar into the air as Pallas held onto him. "Birdy wants to fly huh? Well how's about I shoot bird down!" Kareem, the Banette hybrid, shouted as he held his sleeves out and began to charge up a rather large Shadow Ball, pointed at Blizz as he dove straight for the other hybrid, and his impressive Shadow Ball. "Crap! Blizz! Stop!" Sub shouted, but he knew Blizz wouldn't be able to stop soon enough, so there was only one thing he could think to do. "Throw me at that Shadow Ball, Pallas! Now!" Sub shouted, the Mandibuzz did not disobey, and did as such, by hurling her trainer straight at the Shadow Ball.

"What the-" Was all the Banette kid could say as Sub flew right at his Shadow Ball. "Griswold! Imprison on me!" He ordered. The Spiritomb in mention would appear from his pocket, out of the Dusk Ball that was located in said pocket. The Ghost would wrap around Sub and activate Imprison, a sinister purple glow appearing around Sub. As the trainer made contact with the Shadow Ball, as it was fired, he was blasted back a ways, but as he flew off, he abosrbed the energy from the attack, splashing into the water once it was all gone. The plan was clear, he knew that Griswold wouldn't have been able to suppress the attack after being charged, so he used his own body, and Dark Channeler capabilities along with his sync with Spiritomb, to Imprison the Shadow Ball into himself, his body as a catalyst for it, however it would prove to be a painful maneuver. "Geh...get him, Blizz." Sub mumbled, he had created the perfect opening, and now was the time to strike, hard.

Despite all the fighting going on, Lykas somehow managed to remain clear of the attacks around him, mostly thanks to Mykel using his Psychic to redirect anything that came towards him. It was tiring and his Calm Mind'd power boost was beginning to dwindle rapidly, making each attack harder to push away. Lykas was thinking, though. He was trying to figure out a way to end this battle as quickly as possible. Eventually, he finally snapped back to himself and called upon a new ally. Rather than the expected Pokemon, he released Narcissa the Frillish.

"Listen carefully, girl. It's going to hurt, I won't lie. But I need you to do something for me. I need you to use Destiny Bond on Serperior and let it hit you with an attack. I'll get Mykel to heal you as soon as it's over, though." He whispered to the little pink squid Pokemon. Narcissa nodded in agreement, already knowing what was going on with Sphynx. "Friiiiill."

Provided the Grass Snake Pokemon didn't fall before she used the move, she'd use her Destiny Bond from a nice little hiding place, tieing their futures together in the most intimate fashion. Should she fall, Serperior would be doomed as well.

Faring against the others, Nuregami would turn his focus on Ludicolo with another Iron Tail against the new foe. Lux, now free from Mykel's Psychic grip, would unleash another Flame Wheel, though he was barely standing as it was. Nuregami and Mykel were in similar straits at the moment. Lykas' team was dwindling fast but he refused to fail before he got that antidote. By whatever means necessary.

Odd had ended up in the same situation as Lykas, considering the possibilities. He was sorry for Sol when he took that reflected Inferno. Mostly because Adagio's ability was Flash Fire and she could have used that returned flash for a power boost. Regardless, with the machine open now, Adagio acted on her own, building up a mass of flames before her before she send a beam of pure heat and fire energy at the machine via Overheat, a move she almost never used. She hated the drained feeling it gave her.

With Prudence charging an attack like Sheer Cold, Al looked to Tweety. "Can you do it?" He asked of the Dragon-type. "Can you use that move? The one we always talked about me teaching you someday?" He asked of her, the weak sky dragon nodding in response, trilling happily in response as her body took on a bright red glow as a fiery aura formed around her. "Tweety! Fire at will! Sky Attack!" He called as the Humming Pokemon fluttered up near the cave ceiling. It took several long moments for her to fully charge but when she felt her body was about to burst from the chi contained within, she dived at Prudence, the flaming aura about her taking on a defined bird-like shape. Charging beakfirst into the bear-beast's chest, she released the flying-type charge into him, detonating the aura like a bomb on contact.

Greesix would notice that his Serprior just became a huge target, but he knew it wouldn't survive much longer, however he needed it for something. So, he released his Tangrowth and had it take all the attacks fired at his Pokemon. "Rage Powder!" He ordered. The Tangrowth would unleash a cloud of strange spores which seemed to influence the Pokemon in attacking it instead of the others, the attacks pummeling the vine Pokemon one after another, the Tangrowth immediately falling to the attacks. "Serperior, Grass Pledge!" Greesix ordered, as he placed one hand on the drill-like machine, the device on his wrist beginning to glow, as he then pointed a finger on his other hand at Serperior, the Pokemon gaining a green aura as Greesix supplied it with chi from the Chi Converter to boost its strength, and force its Overgrow ability to activate, this was certainly not healthy for the Pokemon. Regardless, Serperior executed the move despite the pain it was feeling from this forceful power boost. The snake would let out a cry as the land began to rapidly change, the grass rising up high attempting to ensnare the Snagems, and vines coming down from the forest threatening to strangle them, it was madness as Serperior was now in control of the forest thanks to that machine. "Hyper Voice, Ludicolo." Greesix ordered. The Ludicolo would obey by giving off an ear splitting, painful cry, the idea was to bombard the Snagems not only physically, but also with something intangible, let alone the meteors that were coming down, Greesix falling backwards as one exploded in front of him, even the machine taking a hit by a stray Tri-Attack and a Fire Blast, causing a crack to burst open, however the machine still ran, could this be just what they needed though?

Back at Pattern Bush, the Chi Converter was bombarded, the Barrier was gone as Magnezone fell, it was completely vulnerable. The twin Fire attacks slammed into the machine, causing it to rapidly heat up as it attempted to absorb the assault, the machine failing to do so as the two Ground types damaged it from beneath. Now with the machine severely weakened, the two Electric attacks were just the ticket in taking it down as it overloaded the machine, the device rumbling fiercely as it protested against the absorption of the chi. "Eh? Crap! What did you guys do!?" Yellosix shouted as he watched the machine spazz out. "Screw this! I'm not getting caught up in this firework show! Later losers! Rotom, Flash!" He shouted, and as he did his Rotom flew out of the machine, releasing a bright flash of light that would temporarily blind the others. Once the blinding was over, Yellosix and his Pokemon were gone, but the machine stood, rattling something fierce as it prepared to explode.

Prudence was wrapped in a twister of flames and wind, and hit by poison darts, an intense pain was felt by him from the inside, but the Sheer Cold continued to charge as the temperature continued to drop. As the Sky Attack hit and exploded on contact it took with it an explosion of fire as the cyclone of flames was disrupted, and from the explosion of fire and energy came another explosion, one of freezing cold wind, it was the Sheer Cold, however half charged as he was disrupted greatly, but still devastating. Once it was all cleared and the Snagems were able to see, they would notice that Prudence, was gone, not hide nor hair was left, he must have fled, or worse...still, the machine was there, and while the Snagems may be half dead after this, they needed to destroy it.

Damon saw the Sheer Cold releasing and held his ground, he covered his face, but slid back a couple of inches. He was really cold and shivering alot. When the attack was over with all of his pokemon were frozen solid. He sighed as he saw the three pokemon in their frozen state.

He called out his Torchic, who hadn't been in the battle to heat them up, melting the ice. As that was happening Damon looked at saw that Prudence was gone. He muttered a curse. He saw that Al was taking care of the machine and his Pokemon were to weak to even put a dent in it.

Unaffected by the Hyper Voice, Litwick bravely spewed flames in an attempt to keep the reaching vines at bay. However it seemed that for each one that recoiled, badly burnt, two took its place.

The little candle couldn't keep this up much longer, it was already weakened from its use of Overheat.

Corphish lunged for the Serperior with a second Night Slash, hoping that this one would connect.

Returning his exhausted Snivy to its pokeball, James tried to combat the effects of the Hyper Voice with what he did best - music.

A soothing melody rang out from his flute as he played, not trying to drown out the Hyper Voice, but instead, incorporating the dissonant sound into some form of a pattern, a syncopated beat.

((And thus, dubstep was born. Just kidding. ))

It was an eery scene, the battlefield itself coming alive as attacks flew and meteors crashed. It was almost like something out of a movie - background music included.

And hurt he was, Kareem flew backwards as he took a mouthful of Ice Beam, flying into the ocean like a bullet, an icy bullet that is, disappearing deep underwater as he did. "Dear Darkrai, Blizz...talk about overkill, I don't think even a Ghost would survive eating an Ice Beam like that." Sub commented from the water, looking over at where Kareem went under. He just floated there for awhile, expecting the kid to come back up, but he didn't, not even bubbles floated up to signify life, then again, he wasn't sure if the hybrid had to breath in the first place. "I think you just re-killed him."
