Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jude's eyes widened, and like magnetic force he leaned ever so slightly over Volcarona's side.

"Shiny," he observed. And not just that... "Lower, Volkie! I gotta tell the others about this!"

He pressed the Volcarona into a descent toward Sol, Blizz and the rest, giving Shaan a wide berth. He needed enough room for the Pokemon to perform evasive maneuvers. But, apparently, Shaan didn't think he was a threat. He was perfectly fine with that. Totally harmless. "Heeeeey!" he called, waving his arms. "Did you see that? And he did it again!"

Dan motioned for Talon to head inside after releasing Blizz. As the bird headed for the opening, it suddenly closed, almost taking the bird's head off. "Whoa! Damn, we were too late!" he huffed. He proceeded to have Talon take him and Freya up on top of the barrier so he could get off. Setting Freya down, he proceed to return Talon for a much needed rest. "Ok...Try breaking another hole in this thing. I'll try to take care of that guy" he told her as Rain suddenly rejoined him. Dan proceeded to return him as well and sent out Diva to fight. "Use Psychic and hold him down!" he instructed, pointing at Shaan.

Sol seemed preoccupied, but Blizz seemed open enough. He guided Volcarona into an orbit around Blizzard, but never stopped waving. "Blizzy!" he said. "That shine! That's definitely metal. But didn't you see it, when you hit him? It was like he was stuck in time, for just a tiny bit! Even when I dropped my rocks on him!"

Jude shook his head enthusiastically. "Nope!"

Freya nodded, hopping off Talon and onto the barrier that was surprisingly solid beneath her feet. She crouched down, lightly knocking on it then stomping on it a little to determine just how solid it was. Hmm. Taking two PokeBalls, the brunette released Purrloin and Buizel. "Alright you guys, let's alternate turns and punch a hole through this barrier again." Crouching down, she called to Pignite and Pikachu, both seemed to be able to hear her though the only way to be sure was to call out an attack. "Pignite, aim a Fire Blast at that metal guy! Pikachu, a little help up here with trying to break this thing down! Electro Ball!" Well, it looked like it was working at least.

Al had divebombed into the shield when it first opened, but Odd and Lykas were distracted by Blizz being thrown around like a ragdoll and were locked out.

"I'll help Blizz." Lykas told Odd, who nodded in response. Getting on top of that shield was a bit daunting but thanks to Cascade's Bounce, they managed to get up top. Recalling the manta Pokemon, Lykas approached Blizzard just as Jude was explaining what he saw. "I saw that too." He told the man. "It looks like he's literally turning himself to metal for a split second but he can't move when he does it....."

It was when Blizz mentioned needing fire that something came to him. "Metal melts when it gets hot enough.....You think he'll lose power if we heat him up?" This wasn't likely to be Blizzard's plan, exactly but he was willing to help any way he could. "I can provide fire." He offered as he released Lux. The Quilava was still tired from the ordeal with Greesix but he could manage to produce fire if he had some cover. Or wasn't being attacked. That would be ideal, of course, so no one expected that, did they?

Odd, on the other hand, called upon Cadenza as he watched Lykas go off with the others. Shall we crash the party

Sounds like fun. I hope they have cake.

Of course they will. They're being such -lovely- hosts, after all.

With a shared laugh between them, Odd signaled Treble to release him, recalling the Drifblim as Cadenza caught him with Telekinesis. The two hovering in the air for a moment, they shared a knowing look before they divebombed the shield. Energy those walls may have been, but if they had the consistency and quality of something solid, they should be able to phase right through, Odd figured. If it worked, the duo would remain off to the side, near where they saw Suib hanging back. They weren't powerful but they might be able to pull of some kind of stealth maneuver with the other channeler if they found a decent opening.

"I don't like him..." Amaranth spoke up, taking out a ball to let her Metapod back out.

Sol, much as he was usually on the ball, could only do so much. Even he couldn't tell the attack was coming fast enough, taking the harsh kick and flying a little ways back. It wasn't enough to knock him out, but it took a few seconds for him to get his bearings back. He got back up when he did, gathering a bit more chi. "Let's roll? Here, have a nut." He said before finally unleashing a Solarbeam, trying to strike Keefe back.


Ceramew barely managed to get away from the wall, glaring at Shaan as several meteors formed. "Are you quite done?" She asked, her voice almost a hiss. Something still wasn't right with her.

Dan rolled his eyes at Shaan's statement, clearly not amused by his "steel" will. "First of all, it's iron will. If your going to make a pun, do it right!" he shouted. Too bad Hawk wasn't here, he'd make a good pun right about now. At Chaos returned with some much needed reinforcements. As the steel channeler's attack was headed towards him and Diva, the psychic used her power to move herself and her trainer backwards and out of harms way. The attack would probably continue and hit the barrier but Dan had a feeling he was hoping for too much on that. "Use Calm Mind" the trainer instructed his Gardevoir, hoping to increase her strength for future attacks.
