Welcome to Gaia! ::

One would be surprised how much someone's face could turn, Aden being slugged right in the face and getting knocked off his feet from the impact. Chances are he'd be losing a tooth or two for this, if not have a really bruised face before everything was said and done. Watching as Odd tried to go in for an assist and see a knife go for the channeler's ribs, he went for a sweeping kick and tried to knock Dull off balance.

"Your opponent's over here, last I checked," he spat as he stood up again. By now, it'd be apparent to anyone else hearing him that whatever reason might've remained in him had, for the time being, gone out to lunch. Celestial chi welled into his feet this time, moving to launch a Psychic-infused kick at Dull regardless if he was down or not.


Amaranth would find herself pausing, suddenly scared as she felt the immense chi in the area. It felt an awful lot like what was back in the desert, and as she saw the sudden beam fire out from the storm and fly at Tatooine, she wasn't quite so certain that she'd be as much help here as Cera was hoping for. "We're in trouble, aren't we?" She asked, one hand on a Pokeball and feeling like she wouldn't have a choice. At least she wouldn't have to worry as much about the Shadow Flygon's presence.

"Wait a second, you're trying WHAT!?" Cera shouted before directing herself for the rocket and attempting to board it, fully realizing what Isaac intended to do. If it wasn't what Darts has mentioned, she seriously doubted an Articuno hybrid, let alone the real deal, was going to really be all that able to freeze rocket fuel. "Isaac, I'm with Darts, focus on boarding the rocket. Trying to do anything with it otherwise's probably going to burn you alive with nothing accomplished, and I doubt Blizz or Freth would be able to make it in time."

Aile would stop in her dash when she saw the outline, and the enormous chi that even she could feel radiating seemed almost familiar. She knew what was here. "Oh dear heavenly....." Before she could react, she could hear the shriek of Tatooine getting hit by the Ice Beam before being completely frozen solid, her body trembling slightly as it registered almost immediately. "TATOOINE!" She'd return to where she left her dragon to see her face frozen in anguish, and it practically made her blood boil. She knew that she probably shouldn't have left Tatooine to her own devices, but the face struck home. "No more games, then, I presume. Fine!" She'd recall Tatooine and whip around, bringing out her own similarly colored ball. "Right. Sorry for doing this, Regirock, but I can't leave this unanswered,"Aile muttered, keeping the comment to herself. She'd send out her own legendary, who towered over her and Eisley. "Regirock-"

"Save it, child. I can sense your urgency and anger."

"I... Thank you. Why don't you start off with a Stone Edge, then, please."

"As you will, child." There seemed to be a barest hints of a quizzical tone there as it turned around and slammed his boulder of a fist onto the ground, summoning up a series of sharp rocks at Regice's site. Aile's attention would then turn to where she believed Zera was.

"Eisley, use a Rock Slide over there. If nothing else, aim for the area around Regice. I have few doubts that she'd leave too far from its presence." Her voice had gotten a lot colder with that, personally hoping Zera would be hit as Eisley started his attack. She had her Regice attack and immediately take down Tatooine, which Aile thought was overkill, and that b***h had personally attacked Eisley before. She had little qualms about taking down a person who attacked her family of Pokémon.

Lynnette and Silver would be teleported to Mossdeep by Lyn's Ralts, Rea, arriving a little later than the rest of the Snagems. Silver likely would have gone on her own, but, she currently didn't want to risk sending out her Noctowl. As much as she loved the Owl Pokemon, Hortense had been shadowfied, and Silver wasn't sure if she could handle the bird in current state. But, having heard what was going on through the tv, Silver knew that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Lynnette had been outraged as well of course, but, didn't know quite as much about what was going on. She just knew stuff was going down and that Silver had needed her help getting here.

The Houndoom hybrid would lift her nose, sniffing about, trying to see if she could determine who all was here. Turning her head to blankly stare at the rocket, Silver knew that that was where she wanted to be. Rather than saying anything to the black and purple haired girl who was standing beside her, Silver would break into a run, claws clicking and clacking against the ground as she made her way towards the rocket. Lynnette would recall her Ralts and go racing after Silver, realizing very quickly that it was going to be very difficult to catch up. "Wait! Silver! Where are you going?!" Lynnette would shout, causing the hybrid to stop in her tracks. Silver would tilt her head quizzically as she stared blankly at Lynnette. Rather than answer, she would give a shrug and turn around again, returning to trying to get to the rocket and join the others as quickly as possible. Lynnette would sigh, trying once more to catch up to the hybrid. "If you're not gonna tell me where you're going, could you at least tell me what I should be doing?" she would shout. Rather than stop and answer Lynnette, Silver just kept running, eventually making her way to the rocket and racing inside. She would come to a halt a few short steps away from Isaac, listening to Sub's footsteps as he ran further inside.

Lynnette, having been left behind again, decided to take a look around. There had to be somewhere she could be, someone she could help... Taking another glance towards the sandstorm, Lynnette would get the feeling that that was where she might be needed most. The girl would head in that direction, wondering what could possibly be going on. However, it wouldn't take long for her to figure out what was going on. She couldn't see very well through the sandstorm, but, she could vaguely see the shapes of the two large legendaries. Pulling out a Safari Ball, the girl would send out her Noibat, Pitch. The Sound Wave Pokemon would land on her trainer's shoulder, watching the silhouettes in the sandstorm. "Pitch, I know it's rare that you hear this from me, but... I want you, uhh... 'sing' for the Pokemon further out and their trainer, okay?" Lynnette would say, hoping that the Noibat's awful singing would actually be useful for something. The Noibat would grin, her eyes practically lighting up knowing that she was actually be asked to sing for once. Flying off toward the further silhouette, she would start up her 'song', which actually was some strange mix of Screech and Supersonic, directing her voice towards the Regice and the hybrid standing somewhere nearby. Lynnette thought she could see the silhouette of another Snagem, and would start walking towards Aile.

Dull takes the kick to the ribs with a surprised gasp as he was still reeling from the sensation of actually being hurt by something via Odd a moment ago, and even though the kick glitches through him, he staggers into the crowd and drops his throwing knife. The crowd parts to allow him entrance, the people and HAZARD agents seemingly hesitant to touch him at all as he does so. He lets out a sort of goofy chuckle, his eyes rolling back in his head slightly as he looks back and forth. "You hurt me..." He groans, his pitches modulated as ever. "But I forgot something very... important here..." he shakily reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a shard of Gengarite, the crowd gasping as his skin begins to shine a brilliant white, the third eye rolling into prominence on his forehead. "You guys are the good guys here, right?!" He turns his third eye downwards and unleashes an enormous Hyper Beam at the ground below him. The pathway cracks and groans as the sewer beneath it ruptures, and screams of terror break out in all directions around him as people struggle to evacuate themselves from the situation.

"Better do something heroes! Before your little cardboard boxes come tumbling down!" Dull screams manically, laughing as he floats above the wreckage, trying to recharge from the attack. The HAZARD personnel are the first to react, pulling people free of the street and trying to organize the screaming populus.

There had been a little girl and her Poocheyena not too far into the crowd near where Aden had been standing... from the sounds coming from the fissure near his foot it sounded like she was about fifteen seconds from being the meat in a tectonic sandwich.



Kess parries the single-hand Ice Beam, bringing the blade up in front of her face to part the energy, Ice chi flying on each side of her head as she concentrates on blocking the attack. This has the unfortunate side effect of leaving her rather distracted when...



The Tyrantum comes bearing down on her. Even with Agility, Kess barely has time to turn around before the Head Smash comes down on top of her. With maneuvering she manages to avoid a fatal hit, but it does come down on her right wrist, snapping it with an audible 'crack'. She lets out a very verbal squawk of pain that mingles with the cries of innocents coming near the people dealing with Dull, and as she backs up a half step she's holding her arm near her body now, curling it near her black jumpsuit as she holds her sword in her other hand. Seeing the Tyrantum's not about to stop its rampage she slams her broken arm forwards with another sickening crunch as she unleashes a single-handed Thunderbolt directly into the Pokemon's chest like a defibrillator, trying to avoid the Lightning Rod. Her eyes are determined, not crazed as she pumps energy into it and if no one breaks the circuit she's going to stop the Tyrantum's heart.



The enormous stone golem hammers onto the Regice, as Regice it was, towering over the much smaller Zera below it. The golem gave off a chilling aura like a glacier on a hot summer day, and as Regirock smashes into the thing a shockwave of force from the two unstoppable masses meeting shoots out, the windows in the nearby Mission Control building shattering one after the other just from the sheer force of it. Regice lets out a set of three keening sounds as it shoves the stone golem off of itself and goes in for an attack of its own, bringing one of its massive pillar arms down on the side of Regirock's head with great force, attempting a Hammer Arm in return for the shards of rock now embedded in its body, the two giants visible towering above the apex of the sandstorm pocket. On all sides of the goliaths people 'oooh'd' and 'aaah'd' at the ferocity of the legend's battle, not heeding at all that they might soon find themselves in danger.

Aile would have a brief sensation of warmth across her face as Regirock's symbol appears as small glowing dots under her skin, and if she cared to look before the Rock Slide got there, Zera's face sported a corresponding cross, matching Regice, the right-hand dots covered by her shock of hair. As the rocks come flying up at her, she responds in kind with another Pokeball of her own. "Magmar!" she shouts, pointing at the oncoming shale and debris. "Flamethrower!"

The pyro chicken emerges and lets out a gout of intense white fire from its beak, thoroughly turning the stones and shale of the street Eisely had been using as a weapon to so much slag and pumice.

"Nyyyeeeeeh!" Zera taunts, dragging down one of her eyes and sticking out her tongue at Aile across the way. "You'll haveta do better than..."



The Noibat must have gotten the message wrong in the sandstorm, as while it doesn't deliver the gift of 'song' to Regice, as the legend was immune to status, it has no problem chirping a sonic sonnet to Magmar, and the Pokemon instantly begins teetering back and forth, entranced by the Noibat's Supersonic.

"Maaaag...." it groans, happily stumbling around.

"Poopie..." Zera curses, covering her mouth with both hands.


Miror B. shoulders his way through the group of Snagems without so much as a word or a backwards glance, limping every other step due to the enormous cast around one leg, but his posture the very spitting image of a man on his way to the gallows. He hops off the rocket and heads towards the (now three) separate crowds down below, readying an Ultra Ball from his belt as he does so.


"Hey...." Darts says, looking Kain up and down as he regards his 'brother' of sorts with a wary red eye, noting a Houndoom hybrid he didn't know joining the group as well. "...I, er... forgot?" He says lamely, as Miror B. moves past them and out of the rocket. "As for the door..." He barely has time to say another word before two things happen simultaneously. A bustling reporter and her cameraman run up the swiftly-withdrawing loading ramp and leap aboard, and then the door swings down and hisses as its pneumatic seal clamps tight, sealing the rocket. The boosters down below fire all at once in response to the cargo hatch shutting, and it's hard for Darts to give out more information than "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" as the group of them slam into the wall unexpectedly from the force of the rocket taking off. No doubt it was going to hit Sub as well, who had last been seen fooling with the pressurized door leading into the next area.

"This is Missy Hisakawa!" the reporter screams, above all of the roaring. "On location with the criminals Team Snagem and Team Cipher! Stay tuned!"

"WHO ARE YOU!?" Darts shouts exasperatedly, trying to use some of his Giratina muscles to pull himself free of the force acting on his body.

Down below the launchpad, where the rest of the Snagems were still dealing with their respective counterparts, a massive rumbling like an earthquake would rattle through the combatants before they noticed the missile rising from the launch pad, an enormous column of fire supporting the ship as it blasted its way up and outwards away from the island, a contrail of smoke and vapor following the craft as it began its ascent into the atmosphere.



Probably, and as the G-force pressed his back up against the wall, he can hear something else other than the ferocious roaring of the rocket below him. A small voice repeating the same thing over and over again. If he looks to try and see the source of the voice, he'll notice some kind of space helmet tapping against his hip in midair, the helmet left from some kind of disturbance earlier, it was now being affected by gravity with the rest of them.

Aden found himself having to shield his eyes from the sudden flash, suddenly feeling chi that might've belonged more to a legendary Pokemon than any sort of hybrid. Looking up to see a now-white Mega Gengar hybrid, he found himself on the ground as it shook from the violent and terrifying impact left by the Hyper Beam. The words that followed, let alone the predicament, didn't help matters. As he moved to deal with the girl and Pokemon that were about to be swallowed by the growing fissure, though, he'd find there was one saving grace in Beau saving the two and getting them to safety.

Though Aden's Arcanine had rushed in with the same idea, seeing that it was under control had him return to the hybrid's side. All that'd follow was the hybrid turning his head towards the Pokemon. "...Arcanine. Anyone else that ends up in a predicament like that, see to it that they're safe and get further away from here," he spoke up, for once sounding not quite as angered. Once his Pokemon took off, he continued.

"You know, there's a funny thing about cardboard boxes. If they tumble down, you can pick them up. But you don't do that, do you?" He asked, his voice giving way to an odd sort of tranquility after the last moment. The fury it held, however, was as present as ever. "You and all these other Cipher hacks seem more like the sort that'd willingly take those boxes and act like they're sandcastles in a beach, to be washed away and left in ruin. You say we're the good guys, but last I checked, we're just the guys in your way."

Throughout this time, chi was welling and the area around him was brightening almost as much as Dull's mega evolution had done. "So get back down here!" He yelled before finally firing off a Solar Beam to try and send Dull down to the ground.


"Okay, what crazy news team decides to board a rocket!?" Cera asked, luckily not having to raise her voice to be heard. This would also be the last thing anyone outside of the rocket would hear as the vessal proved to work like a faraway cage, reducing her mental broadcasts to staticy whispers until finally ceasing. Plus, being flung into a wall from the launch wasn't a fun experience.


"Carbink, shield us! Light Screen!" Amaranth spoke up over everything, sending her Carbink out and trying to have the Pokemon let out a wall of sorts in front of it and as many as possible in Aile's small group, if only to mitigate the oncoming storm of fiery slag and pumice.

Kain's eyes would dart to his left when hearing Reno's voice. The b*****d who locked him up is here, not much of a surprise he joined on the mission but he's in the same room. Kain thought how easy it would be to get his revenge,but what fun would that be. Looking up Kain could see a control panel now jutting out from the wall, perfect for him to begin climbing. Kain would pull his body up from the carnival ride like G force, making an attempt to get to his knees. A failure. Kain slams back first against the metal bulk head, "Arrrhg" he roared. The Pink eye'd beast would try again, just getting into a crawl position. The sheer force would push back onto his body, making his wrists and ankles begin to buckle. Giving out another roar; Kain leapt from the Metal, just missing the console. The metal struck him again. "Hey Anyone got a Idea? Because I'm getting sick of this fast!".

"NO MY ANGEL!" Clara snapped from her anger to scream out for her protector. Without notice Clara's Nincada would launch itself from the ball, taking the electrical blast. Gabriel would slam to the ground, wheezing hard from the pain. Clara quickly ran over to Gabriel's side,lifting his giant head into her lap. Now furious Clara blurted out a command,"Nallah make that storm bigger and fill her lungs!".

"Crap!" I started rushing off towards the Zapdos hybrid once more once Clara's Tyrantrum started to feel the shock, rushing by Freth in the process. "Freth, get up!"

"Ugh...God, did anyone get the number of that bus?" Freth spoke up sitting up, pushing herself off the ground.

I lead the attack this time, charging an one-handed Ice Beam attack once again and fired it towards Kess. Freth followed up only a couple of seconds later, going airborne, trying to get above the Zapdos hybrid, putting her own hands together then pulling them apart to make an aquatic blue ring, eventually firing the Water Pulse attack down towards her.

Tristen, still watching from the sidelines, was feeling antsy at this point. Everyone was fighting other than him; being nothing more than the deterrent on Kess. He wanted to help too, but left to wonder how. A thought came to him, a rather vengeful thought, at least one for the boy. He pulled out a Pokeball, looking at it for a second. One that contained his Blitzle. A dose of Ein's own medicine, he thought. Use it against her. Not to mention, maybe make her a sitting duck. He thought for a moment, nothing in Blitzle's normal arsenal would be that much of a help though. But...maybe...

The boy sucked through his teeth for a moment, worried about the consequences that he was trying to avoid all this time. Maybe a chance that Blitzle won't fly off the handle. Maybe...

"Blitzle! Go!" Tristen shouted, tossing the ball and revealing the tiny shadowfied zebra for battle. With a agitated wail, it was ready to do battle.

"Blitzle, that one right there, the yellow bird hybrid! Um..." Tristen thought, trying to figure out what Shadow attacks that Blitzle could probably use and what ones could be of a use. "...uh...Shadow Hold!"

A Shadow attack, something that the Blitzle was definitely not going to complain about. Another infuriated squeal and a darkened force was let loose from the zebra. Tristen felt unnerved by it, just looking at it. A mixed feeling was in the boy, between 'hoping this works' and 'what have I done'? The force moved swiftly across the area, rushing for the Zapdos hybrid in hopes that it would hold this Zapdos down and make it a sitting duck.
