Welcome to Gaia! ::

.::Stark & Rem & Geisha::.

"OOF!"

"Gah!"

"Oooh!"

"Oooogh... where are we?"

"On my face," came a muffled voice. "Get your claws out of my eye!"

"YIPE! Whose foot is that??"

"Uhhh... sorry."

Stark, Rem, and Geisha quickly righted themselves, observing their surroundings with a bemused air. Where were they? And why was it so damn hot here? Stak shook his head, sweat already beading on his forehead. He hated heat. Even Rem looked uneasy.

"This is wrong..." he muttered sickly.

Stark sighed. No sense just standing there. "Come on, guys. We've got a future to save." A voice cackled in Stark's mind.

Do we get to kill the bad men now? asked Boros evilly.

Stark tossed his head in irritation. Yes. We get to kill the bad people.

Yaaaaaaaaay~ cheered the voice in Stark's mind, and off they went to change the world.

==~==

The trio went off with Andromeda, leading Rem to go off on one of his famous rants.

"Lady Andromeda! THE Lady Andromeda!! And we're marching into battle with her!! Isn't this--"

"Shut up, Rem. This is serious," muttered Stark. This heat really was a pain...

Geisha looked at Rem, then back at Stark. "Calm yourself, Mr. Dravin," she said politely. "It would not do to fight amongst ourselves."

"It doesn't do to have people tell what the fu--" Stark was cut off abruptly by a wild-eyed Absol's tackle, then by avoiding his fangs as the monster tried to rip out his throat with a Crunch. He felt a pain in his head suddenly as the Absol suddenly was picked up from him, then launched across the clearing. Geisha quickly followed up with a barrage of Shadow Balls, obscuring the crazed Absol under darkness.

Eyes front, sparky! I won't do to get us both killed!! Stark got up shakily, trying to ignore Boros' voice as more Pokemon started to emerge from the bushes. Stark shook his head to shake off the daze. What--?

A little bit of my power. Sorry for the pain thing, but I had to react quickly. This time, it won't hurt a bit... for you. Boros started cakling as Stark felt power suddenly surge from his mind. This was.. incredible! He tested the force of his newfound strength on a pair of Mightyena. The blast almost ripped the pair's fur from their bodies as they were sent flying into the skies. Stark grinned viciously as Geisha blasted another Absol into oblivion, and Rem sent a Murkrow tumbling from the skies.

This is gonna be fun, he thought.

You're learning, sang Boros as the two leaped into the fray.

~Jack

Like a scene out of a sadistic movie, the remaining light left that escaped through the treetops was slowly blocked out by a cloud of black feathers. Ruffled mentioned down raining upon the pure white fur of Jack as he scrambled to get out of this situation. it seemed in the end though there was simply no running for him; the enemies numbers growing even more numerous overhead until at last the only sound in the night air were wing beats and malice squawks. Every so often a synchronized dive bomb came down at the Lopunny and each time he was fully alert to the oncoming attack, quickly meeting with his own. At least with the opponent now close together and seemingly multiplying, they were far easier to pick off, each of his attacks surely taking down nearly a dozen at once.

-10 Pokemon

"Darkrai, is it then? Well, if we're here to fight him..." Tolin's mind shut off the consideration of "this is stupid we'll all die" and set to discerning the best attack pattern. First thing's first, preface with ranged. Tolin turned his body, bringing both scythes up then slashing downwards before turning them and slashing the same upwards. The four Air Slashes went off, and Tolin watched them hit their mark. Darkrai ignored them completely. Or, at the very least, it seemed to shrugg them off amidst the flurry of other attacks.

Sam watched the Darkrai with a mix of fear and enthusiasm. Obviously, fighting a legendary was scary business. But, as long as there wasn't fire... But, he did have a new attack pattern on ASAR that would be perfect for this... "ASAR, activate attack pattern B36." Sam watched in satisfaction as ASAR's mouth/nose lit up and began shooting off a strange, rainbow light. The beam gave off a retched sound, and by all accounts should be effective against a Dark-type like Darkrai. He himself didn't waste the chance, choosing to vomit throw a Sludge Bomb at the legendary.

Lia was scared as hell, but still capable of shooting off a rather weak water gun.

Albus, on the other hand, was resolute to end this quickly. Judgment would be a bad call this early on, though. So, instead, he fired off a quick Water Pulse and then met it at the Target with a quick Thunder, the power of the plates bringing the two attacks quickly and with ease.



Tolin looked on at the crowd apprehensively, watching the attacks bounce off and around Darkrai randomly. While it would certainly be interesting to talk to people and ask for their names (Heck, he might even find his own!) now was hardly the time.

Tolin steeled himself, flying into make an attack on Darkrai. Until he veered off, flying away. There was no way he was dodging in so callously. Maybe he'd just... duck in for a second quickly, then get out.

So, Tolin gained height. And height and height. Finally, when he was well above the rest of the group, he turned to a nosedive. His speed accelerated rapidly as he dived inwards, scratching at Darkrai with his claws..

(-10 Darkrai. Air Slash x4, Signal Beam + Sludge Bomb, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Thunder, Quick attack.)

(( orz, imbalanced teams like crazy @_@ Well, as long as the reward isn't what I think it might be, I don't care. And if it is, I'll twist Shawn's head off and yell into his ear 3: ))
