Welcome to Gaia! ::

Katara and an Armaldo were doing their best to disembowel each other. Both Pokemon were well armoured and very well armed, wielding deadly natural weapons. Eventually Katara finally managed to overpower her opponent and drove the razor edge of her wing between the cracks of the Armaldo's armour.

Spade was avoiding the actual enemies like the one Katara had fought and was happily picking off the weaklings. He Icebeam'd a Butterfree from the air.

Katara went for her next target, a Scizor who was lurking up in the trees, stalking the guildmembers below. The Skarmory hopped up onto a branch. Her bulk was a liability in such cramped quarters, but a Minimize later she was small and agile enough to weave her way silently between the branches, leaves and vines. The Scizor couldn't react until it was too late- Katara let out a loud screech right up near it face, stunning it.

The Skarmory then crashed into the steel-bug type and proceeded to start pecking the life out of it.

Spade made his way towards the web, and sent an Ice-beam at the web. The attack struck it and froze strands of webbing, but did not pierce it.

"This place is kind of creepy..." Riley muttered, looking about the clearing that the Gardevoir's Pschic had recently cleared. Even with most of the mist gone, the visibility was not very good. As Ethfael had mentioned, it seemed to have been aptly named. As the Ariados appeared and commenced wreaking havok Riley gulped, "Is that what we're up against?" When he recieved nods from his companions he steeled himself, preparing for the fight to come. The Ariados was rather menacing, he had to admit. Not to mention he found spiders very annoying.

"Let's take care of some bugs," Era said with a wry smile, "We have to get to the Ariados too, so we've got to break the web!" They sprang into action quickly, their conversation being broken up by a pair of Pinsir, which simultaneously attacked with X-Scissor. Ethfael was on them before they were prepared, his Extremespeed knocking one to its knees and startling the other considerably. He was quick as a flash in aiming a Dragon Rage at each one, quickly finishing them off.

Riley stared in shock at the short work Ethfael had made of his opponents, and then grinned, his spirit prepped to fight. He turned to face a nearby Beedrill, hitting it with a Quick Attack, followed by a Take Down to hit it out of the sky. The Beedrill retaliated with Twineedle, piercing Riley on either side with its needle-like arms. Riley winced as it drew blood but he gave it a Bite in retaliation, stilling it at last. Ethfael aimed a Dragon Rage at the web just as Riley dealt the finishing blow, hitting the web to break off a few of the upper strands.

Era had dodged out of the way of Ethfael's battle, and now the Pikachu scanned around the battle for another place to help out. A Foretress seemed to be eying a pair of Pokemon toward the edge of the fight. One of them, a Riolu, was rather familiar. Era found her thoughts taken back to an earlier mission when she had looked after that same Riolu in the cave where a stone Milotic had fought the Guild as they searched for the Elixir of Light. The girl was clearly older now, and most likely wouldn't remember her, especially since she had evolved, but all the same Era couldn't just stand by and watch it attack the younger Pokemon.

Era raced forward, using a Quick Attack to aid her speed as she sought out her target. The Foretress was getting dangerously close to the two, and Era was beginning to get nervous. With a final leap, she jumped over it to land in front of it just before it reached them. Electricity sparking from her cheeks, Era stood her ground, unwilling to let it pass. The Foretress was unfazed it seemed, and it fired a Mirror Shot at her, causing Era to wince as she was momentarily blinded by the light. In retaliation she aimed a Thundershock back at it, which stalled it for a moment, which was longer enough for her to ready herself for the next attack. This of course was when she noticed what had happened to the pair while she'd been distracted.

"Arc'dammit!" Era muttered. She hurried over to the two, looking at Azra with concern. "What happened?" she asked both of them, keeping a close eye on the Foretress, it seemed to be paralyzed, but then again... "Please, Azra, what's wrong?" Era looked at Devlin too, the same question echoed in her eyes since she didn't know the Chimchar's name. She only needed to know what was wrong and she would help.

"s**t!s**t!s**t!"
Raven found himself strewn against the side of the tree he had been on all the while; mainly his chest and upper limbs being coated in the sticky silk that held him firm in place. Immediately proceeding to flail his untouched legs wildly he managed to break the tree branch below him that once held him up but now the spider silk was doing a fine job of that on its own. The Lucario remained hanging there in a practically crucifixion style position as more horrors came his way; he watching on as his daughter commenced with what seemed to be a barely victorious battle. Why the hell didn't that Chimchar help out?! Uggh, how he hated being this useless.. The Lucario still continued to struggle to the best of his ability but it wasn't getting him far.

By the time the Chimchar gotten to his feet, he found himself holding up one rather injured looking Riolu. Who was actually holding up who was up for debate at the moment but with a limp arm around Azra it was enough speciousness to excite screams from a nearby tree.
"HEY! YOU! STOP THAT!"
If it wasn't for the fact that the much larger Lucario was tied up at the moment, Devlin would have sadly listened too and let the poisoned Pokemon fall to the ground without question. Alas that wasn't the situation though and there was much more important things than a ragefitting fatherly Lucario.
"A-Are you alright?"
He asked in a panicked voice, having no means to help the Riolu as the poison took hold; Devlin feeling a lot more weight pressed upon him while he gained strength himself. His question was totally useful with the whole nearly passed out Pokemon leaning on him and lingering poison effects obvious. Just then a Pikachu arrived on the scene whom seemed to know his companion; this seemed good enough to him to consider the new company friend over foe. Then again there was also the possibility the new face brought along enemies of her own... Either way this seemed to be the only ray of hope on a deary situation.
"She was uhm, hit by a Cross Poison from a Skorupi"
He explained without really much else that could be added to the scenario. The Chimchar wasn't exactly sure how situations like these were handled; he knew that Azzie's team had a healer that usually took care of these things but she wasn't exactly present. Maybe he should have paid more attention to Cassy when she tried to explain to him the different natural medicinal plants that could be used to cure all kinds of poisons and other afflictions.

Meanwhile, having nearly completed his task of unwrapping Chase like a stubborn Christmas present, (Not that the Riolu probably could have teleported out at any minute or anything) a sudden pressure on his back causing him to lunge forward, leaving him face to face with his teammate. Alarm only rose from there when he pushed back against the force and came to realize that he was now webbed himself, a thick glob of the material having been reinforced atop of Chase also binding him in as well, awkward positioning and all. Without outside help it looked like they would be stuck for awhile and how the Buneary hated the feeling of the gunk drying into his fur.

Oliver turned around when he heard the wings behind him and ducked the scythe arm that had been directed at his head. The Scyther's blade struck the web that Oliver had been hacking at, tearing it. Oliver countered by moving in and slashing at the arm currently extended past him, then blasted the Scyther with water, knocking it away and out of the fight.

Chuck hopped away, then further away, as an Armaldo repeatedly swung claws at him, each slash more violent than the last. He slammed into something, realized that it was a small tree, then ducked the next strike. There was the sound of wood breaking, and Chuck looked behind him to see what was now a stump, with most of a tree off to the side in a horizontal position. He looked back up and dodged to the side at the same time, watching as the Armaldo got its claw buried deep into the ground. Then he dove for cover as a fireball exploded, taking the Armaldo out along with a Combee that had been approaching. He looked towards the trees at its source and saw Imiti, who waved.
