Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sammy held out the bag of oreos to Reaper, watching the spectacle that was Lugia all the while. "Wow..." She repeated over and over again.

Lugia charged up an Aero Blast and fired it at Lucario, Lucario quickly dodging the attack. Lugia fired it again and this time it hit, knocking Lucario back to Ike's feet. Ike helped Lucario up.
"I don't think we can win this one..." said Ike. "But we have to wake him up!"
Lucario nodded and took the Lunar Wing from Ike's pocket. "This should do it." said Lucario. Ike grined and sent Lucario back out to face Lugia.
"Use Force Palm, Lucario!" called out Ike. Lucario leaped into the air and with glowing paws, the Lunar Wing in hand, he made contact with Lugia's wing. The wing turned from purple to back to its normal, silvery white. The rest of Lugia's body, though, remained discolored.
"Keep it up!" yelled Ike. Lucario landed on the ground, keeping his eyes on Lugia.
Lugia started beating its wings and used Gust, attempting to blow Lucario and Ike off of the ship. Ike quickly leaped at a vent duck and held on. Lucario was blown back, but grabbed a hold of Ike's foot. The wind blew Ike's breath away as he flinched from the blast. Finally the wind died down at they returned to their feet. Lugia stopped the attack early. It would seem the wing that turned back to normal wasn't cooperating with the rest of his body.
"Lugia's waking up!" said Ike, happy. "Use the Lunar Wing to fire an Aura Sphere!"
Lucario held the Lunar Wing in his palms and created a sphere of Aura. He then fired it at Lugia, this time hitting him in the side of the torso. Lugia's side turned back to normal, along with one of his feet and his tail.
"Good hit!" complimented Ike.
Lugia wasn't fully awake. With half of his body fighting the other half to wake up, Lugia fell into the sea.
"No!" cried Ike. He sprinted from the top of the MegaSub and dove into the rough ocean. Lucario gasped and ran after them.

The ocean was rough. And that was an understatement. Ike and Lucario were swept each and every direction from the crazy currents. Ike immediately regretted this decision and began to drown. Water filled his lungs as he gasped out for air in vain. Lucario was doing his best to swim to Ike, but just wasn't a good enough swimmer. Lugia came in from under Ike and swam upward, passing him. Ike grabbed a hold of his neck and held on for dear life. Lugia was still fighting himself.
Once at the surface, Ike coughed up water and refilled his lungs with air. After regaining himself, he started to cheer Lugia on, all the mean time trying to to be flung off into the giant hurricane.
Lucario surfaced on the water below, trying to stay afloat. He still had the Lunar Wing with him.
"Fight it Lugia!" yelled Ike. He felt helpless. Without the Lunar Wing, he could basically do nothing.



Lugia flew up and landed on the deck of the MegaSub before Team Aqua, flinging Ike off right into Sammy with a crash.

Ginji looked at Hunter's Raikou, it was such a travesty that such a powerful Pokemon had been captured and forced to do battle against its will. Time to go all out. Raikou roared and shot a thunderbolt into the air, darkening the sky and causing rain to beat down in a steady rhythm. It was a nice setting for such an epic battle.

*watches as Ike gets sent flying into Sammy who was only a few feet away from me* "Umm that look like it hurt...." *walks over to help both of them up*

Ike hastily gets up and asks Sammy the same thing. "Yeah. It's cool. You know, same stuff, different day." he said, looking up at the half-shadow Lugia with the split personality problem.
A ways away, Amarube and Yura were coming close to defeating Archie in battle.

Sammy got up, dusting off her clothes. "Well, next time aim for another unsuspecting pedestrian, k?" She laughed, glad that he hadn't hurt himself. "Better yet, avoid anything that knows where you live. >.>" Sammy then looked down at the oreos, her eyes tearing up. "They were so young... cry "

Ginji started by sending out his own Blastoise, knowing full well Raikou's vast move pool, it was going to be a fun guessing game. "Let's just hope the Focus Band holds." Ginji sighed as the turtle Pokemon took up a defensive stance.

Raikou howled as the electricity from its back shot out a vicious Thunder, embedding itself directly in Blastoise's body. After a few seconds of agony and pain, a second blast of energy shot at Raikou as a counter maneuver known only as Mirror Coat.

Ginji stood up on the wet deck and took out the PokeFlute Kurt had given him. He'd been practicing, getting lessons off the internet and using it on sleeping Pokemon. He played, and as he played, Raikou seemed to loosen up and become a bit less wary and angry. As the Raikou was sent into a state of happiness, the boy rushed forward with his Lunar Wing, touching the tip of Raikou's nose.

The great Pokemon blinked twice before the shadow of darkness and evil that was harboring itself in it was dispelled and sent back into the shadows wherein it came.
