Welcome to Gaia! ::

The attacks didn't seem to be doing anything and it was frustrating Freya. Looking over at Dan, she grinned as an idea came to her mind. "Hey, Dan, lemme have your sword for a minute." She ordered, holding out a hand, fully expecting him to take it off and hand it to her.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Freya stated with a single nod before snatching up the weapon. She gave it a twirl like she was spinning a baton without even looking. Her blue eyes were calculating as they scanned the area she could see before finding it, the spinning ceasing and she pointed the sword at it. "There! Pikachu! Charge up then fire off the biggest Electro Ball twelve degrees upwards to your current left!" With that, the girl took off like a shot towards the spot she'd told her Pokemon. Just before reaching it, she leaped into the air, using gravity to advantage and went to drive the sword into the shield, the metal automatically drawing Pikachu's powered up electric attack to it. Hopefully this wouldn't bend, break or shatter the blade and it would be driven through the shield.

"Iron will rust well before steel, surrendering to its enemies who threaten to bend its will. Where iron fails, steel prevails." Shaan said in replied to Dan as he landed back on the ground. As for the barrier Freya was attacking, it would finally give in again, revealing a new opening, the hole slowly closing on its own. "Furthermore, your attempts at assaulting me are futile. Look around you if you will. The barrier is all made of Steel chi, malleable and yet solid. Now, watch closely." He told them, stomping a foot on the ground. Instantly, Rain, Cera, and Blizz would suddenly get pulled toward the surface of the barrier, he would then stomp again, causing the three to fly up into the air, what was he doing, even Dan's sword, due to it being near the barrier at the time, was subjected to magnetism. "Magnetism, all of those who physically touch me, or I physically touch, receive a magnet charge, one of which I can control at will with all things with magnetic qualities, you can not defeat me. I'm in possession of the perfect shield, and the perfect sword, surrender."

"Whoa, dude!" Keefe shouted as he took the attack, crossing his arms to use as a shield as the Solarbeam sent him flying backwards. "You call this an attack? Ha!" He laughed, landing on the ground, digging his feet into the earth as the attack made him slid back, soon breaking the beam with his own might as he thrust his arms in an x-pattern, shattering the beam. "Phew, made me sweat just a little! Haha! Come on, we still have plenty of time to play! That is, before things get really fun!" He smiled, jumping up off the ground to an incredible height, coming down on Sol with a drop kick, should he miss, he would hit the ground and leave an impressive crater behind.

"Hm, more fire it seems..." Was all Shaan said, unimpressed by their tactics. The channeler stood still as three round steel chi discs appeared in the air above him at different angles, their shiny surfaces reflecting the sun's rays to each disc, and finally down on Shaan and the Fire types around him, his own body giving off a bright glow as well until the entire area was consumed by a blinding light, the others on the outside of the 'spotlight' would be mostly fine, if not squint slightly, those on the inside however might find it difficult to see, very difficult, and running around blind like that, was going to get dangerous.

It was getting rather hot in this vortex of fire, he had to admit, and it did hurt, but he wasn't going to go down this easy, no sir, it would take more than just flames to defeat him, but it was start. Using magnetism on his own, Shaan would jump way up into the air, out of the vortex, and punched at the two Pokemon he nearly blinded, sending steel hard fists of steel chi at them, he doubted they could avoid his attack with such poor version.

Al watched the fight going on with interest. Keefe was giving the others a run for their money and then some. Pulling out his SNAG, he scanned Nameless to see what moves he knew other than Ancient Power and Future Sight. "You know Air Cutter?" He asked when he saw the list. Nameless nodded eagerly and summoned several serrated discs of wind in front of himself. "Excellent!" This would prove be useful. "Analyze that man and aim it at him as soon as you see an opening." Nameless nodded and, when he saw the attack aimed at Sol, he threw his blades of wind at Keefe just before his attack landed. Whether he hit or not wouldn't matter. An attack like that would leave him open for counterattack at least for a moment, by his analysis.

While standing near Sub, Odd and Cadenza had watched the goings on. When Keefe appeared, they knew now would be a time for them. Can we do this?

His attacks so far have all physical. You can phase through and I'll be immune to all of his attacks.

I hope you're right. Let's go Odd rushed forward with that, heading towards the site of Keefe versus Sol. When he got there, he'd throw a mighty punch while Cadenza remained hidden in the ground. The Shedinja would attack at the perfect moment, aiming to strike the man with a Shadow Claw as soon as he let his guard down for a moment.

Back with those who fought Shaan, Lykas was getting tired of this guy. "Lux, go help them. Use your Eruption!" He told the Quilava at his feet, who nodded and took of like a shot. As he drew near the channeler, he'd use his body as a catalyst and release an explosion of Earth and Fire Chi in a towering inferno of almost liquid fire that would follow him until he released it.

The Attract would end in failure, Shaan was not one to 'love' anyone, it wasn't in his nature, let alone he was human and the cat was, well, a cat. Either way, when Freya grabbed onto Shaan's foot, he began to shine a bit, immediately falling back down to the barrier, the girl possibly getting crushed if she didn't get out of the way. However, he was hit with the Ice Beam, on his right shoulder, steam rising up as it hit, the man flinching in pain, the hit to the head by the Metapon made his head ring causing enough of a distraction to allow the Ice Beam hit. Once back on the barrier, Shaan was annoyed and angered as he noticed a small crack on his shoulder, that part of his body appearing to be steel while the rest looked like flesh.

"A crack in my armor? You dare to damage my pride!? I am the mightiest of warriors!" He shouted, using magnetism to hurl both Freya and the Metapod, sending Freya right into the Eruption attack, and Metapod at the Quilava, forcing the Pokemon's hand, he had to either end the attack and move, or continue and risk the well being of others, he was in control of them for now, standing in the center of the vortex of flames as it died out.

Back inside the barrier, Keefe continued his attack, and was hit a bit by the Air Cutter, but just laughed as he disappeared in a flash again, running towards Odd like a blur, aiming to jab him on the shoulder. Meanwhile, Dill decided to help out, releasing one of his Lickitung the Pokemon throwing its extremely long tongue out and grabbing the Metapod out of mid air, swinging it around for momentum, and hurling it back at Xipil. As for Dill, he would aim to make Odd briefly pause as he fired off a quick blue bolt of lightning, a Disable attack. The move would keep Odd in place for a few seconds, preventing him from doing anything, including going intangible.
