Welcome to Gaia! ::

To Alex's surprise, Freya had come to help her fight off Dill. "Yup! I'm fine" she grinned at the brunette beside her. Dill used Protect to neutralize their attacks and then began Rollout with it. "No fair! Freya, tag in!" Alex shouted, tagging her hand before getting out of dodge. Grabbing hold of Z, she aimed for the crater and had the Porygon use Agility to make it in. She wasn't sure what was in the crater but Dill didn't want her near it which gave her reason enough. Besides, Freya would stand a better chance at battling the Licklicky while she investigated.

Pignite and Freya may be taken by surprise as the Focus Blast hit Dill, but seemed to dissolve upon impact, not slowing down the hybrid in the least as it rolled over the fire pig, the Pokemon feeling a burning sensation as a wet sticky residue was left behind after being rolled over. "You are all out of your league." Dill mocked as he uncurled, standing up as his body began to give off a faint glow, a silvery cloud forming in the sky which pushed the rain clouds away that were formed by Rain Dance, suppressing the rain, it was his ability, Cloud Nine. "Now for you." Dill declared as he began to roll again, this time at Alex, the same slimy coating appearing.

As for Keefe, he was blasted back by the Psychic, skidding to a stop and grinning deviously. "Maybe I did." He laughed, cracking his knuckles. "Time to step things up a bit." With that proclamation, an aura of raw chi exploded out from Keefe, his muscles becoming more bulky, and his look more focused. "Good bye." Was all Keefe said as he threw a kick at Sol, which from such a distance it would seem like he was kicking air, until the resulting shock wave of energy flew at Sol.

Freya was taken aback when Pignite was rolled over and she almost growled, particularly when she saw Dill going after Alex again. "Yuki, use Counter and protect Alex and back Shark up! Pikachu, Thunder Bolt and follow up with Agility! Pignite, Fire Blast!" With that, the girl hopped onto her own hoverboard, diving into the crater as well, Pikachu hopping on once he finished delivering his Thunder Bolt. Spotting Dan and Alex, she came over and hopped off. "Alex, you have to pay more attention to what's going on around you!" The girl scolded but sighed moments later, just thankful that Dan had showed up when he did. Looking to him, she grinned. "That was some fancy footwork there, Tex."

The Thunderbolt, Fire Blast, and Water Pulse were all in vain, the attacks dissolving as they hit, however, the Mach Punch, Quick Attack, and Dragon Claw would knock Dill off course (before the counter had a chance to bounce him back), sending him rolling backwards until he stopped, however, those who touched him might feel a burning sensation as a sticky residue got on them. "Notice it yet? I can produce a special saliva that dissolves anything, including your special attacks, burns when it gets on you, doesn't it little Pokemon?" Dill taunted. "Attacking me is a risk, can you keep fighting when the longer the battle goes on, the more harm you inflict on yourselves?" He mocked them as he unleashed a Supersonic, in the form of a very annoying and painful laugh.

"Break this ~/~," Chaos shouted. "Peck!"

Warbringer, not yet feeling anything in her leg, lunged forward with Wind Chi in her beak, to smack Keefe in the face with it. Once hit, she would back off, utilizing a little hit and run tactic.

"Don't back down!" Veronica ordered, glaring at the enemy. Havoc and Chi wouldn't take a break for a while, taking turns between their fighting type attacks to assault. Meanwhile, Veronica switched her ditto for her luxray. She told her to attack from behind with Thunder Fang. What's at the crater...? Anyways, the hybrid can't last forever. Whatever the liquid it was, Havoc and Chi could start to feel the pain.

"Not so fast, baby!" Keefe shouted as he blindsided the Luxray with a kick to the head, protecting Dill. "Hm, good show." Dill commented as he watched the feline fly. Dill would then notice the incoming Dragon Rush and decided to meet it with an attack of his own, a Muddy Water, which he seemed to 'puke' as the tidal wave of dirty water rushed towards the incoming Pokemon.

As for the machine, it would begin to chug and whine, glowing brightly as it seemed to reach max capacity. Whatever it was meant to do, was about to happen.

"The ~/~?"

Chaos could tell immediately that something was seriously wrong with his Combusken. Choosing to recall her instead of ask questions in the middle of a -battlefield-, Ragebearer was brought out to replace her.

A Flamethrower was spewed out of the Charmeleon's maw. Chaos was intent on having whatever happened to Warbringer not happen to his other two pokemon.

"They're stalling..."

Hearing that from Sol, his eyes gazed to the red birdman, then to the machine. A sadistic smirk graced his lips, and Deathgiver came out.

"Keep monkeyboy here busy. Just don't let him touch you."

With that order given, Deathgiver and Ragebearer provided cover fire via W-Flamethrower while keeping between their master and their target, keeping Chaos protected long enough to get to that machine.
