Welcome to Gaia! ::

Odd appeared in the desert in a whole new outfit. Sadly, said outfit appeared to leave him almost naked. He wore a pair of shorts made of very thin material and what appeared to be cloth boots of the same material. Within 30 seconds of being exposed to Orre's climate, the poor boy's cheeks were already beginning to turn a bright pink and not from sunburn.

Lykas appeared beside him at the same moment, dressed in his usual armor. "You don't look so hot..." he commented to Odd as his Ralts sat down on his shoulder.

"I'll be fine..." Odd panted as he looked around. "Where is everyone?"

"My Guess would be over there...." Mykel voiced, pointing in the direction of an immense figure looming in the distance. "I can sense a huge amount of chi in that direction but it feels garbled. Like it isn't natural...."

"Let's go!" Odd and Lykas told each other at the same time. Both jumped on their hoverboards and blasted out in that direction as fast as they could manage. As they approached, they could see the other Snagems in the shadow of a collosal Hippowdon. The beastly creature itself seemed unfazed by the few attacks anyone thought to throw at it.

"Guys! Use it's size against it! It's can't be too fast being that big!" Lykas called as he drew within earshot. Hopefully the others would be able to hear.

RC recalls Tank and takes flight, dodging rocks as he goes. "Okay! This Cipher is far more insane. I don't recall fighting Giant Hippowdon before!" RC shouts.

The Poison Sting had little effect on the large target. Not only was the attack practically scratch damage to it, the Hippowdon wasn't hindered in the least. Status effects were unlikely to be all that useful here, it was just too tough.

The attacks aimed for Browsix, looking like they would hit head on. They hit a mark to be sure, but when things cleared, he was taking off on a Flygon. They wanted the ship so bad? Fine. They could have it. "Hippowdon, crush it!"

In pieces, that is. To prove a point, the massive Pokemon crashed into the side of the ship and was easily keeping up when it started moving again. It looked to take it just fine, but it wouldn't last for too long. They were going to have to be quick.


Sol found himself looking to RC. "Ah, so we finally enter new territory for you." He was quick to recall Swampert for a moment, jumping onto the ship. "Everyone, we've no choice. Give no quarter to it! Maybe this ship has something of use..." He let Swampert back out to those means.

Night landed on the ship shortly behind RC and Sol, "Now to see just what this baby can do." She sounded way too happy about all this as she rushed around the ship looking for any sort of weapon she could find.

Dorkfish, meanwhile, continued his water assault on the Hippowdon.

Odd watched Browsix take off, an image of Redsix flashed through his mind. He landed on the ship Hippowdon was apparently after only a few moments after Sol and RC. It only took a few moments to notice one of several things. "......Is it just me or it this ship equipped to battle something huge?" There were cannons bolted to the floor on either side of the ships main deck and what appeared to be harpoon guns as well. "Maybe this thing used to be a whaling ship for hunting Wailord or something?"

Of course, it could be the delirium setting in from the overexposure to the desert heat that was making think that's what he was seeing. No way was this ship equipped for battling giant desert-swimming monsters, right? Besides, he'd need a massive hammer or a sword or something to stave off attacks from the beast when it got too close.

Lykas, on the other hand, was less having far fewer issues with fighting off hallucinations and was getting a very clear image of the ship's equipment. Now he just had to figure out what it was. In the meantime, he released Nuregami and had the Milotic fire a continuous Ice Beam at the beastly behemoth's face. Maybe if they couldn't stop it with combined attacks, frostbite might do it?

Sol had a very simple answer for this one. "Use everything." He wasn't kidding either. He saw some heavier items on the ship, able to be picked up. Doing so in short order, he chucked it in the Hippowdon's direction.

"Sending the ship would be too much of a risk. We'd likely have it capsized, and would be much more vulnerable than we are now. As for the other stuff..." Doing a quick glance, Sol did indeed see more unusual implements. Was Cipher using this to get those experiments? Had to be... this was perfect. "It'd be crazy enough to try."


Swampert assisted with a Hydro Pump. Kiri, at Ceramew's discretion, grabbed one of the rocks after it fell and hurled it back at its sender.

The smaller Pokemon, though, honestly had no clue. This was like trying to capture a Wailord; it just doesn't work. Not to mention she wasn't sure just what would actually bother this thing... she soon settled on finding the largest blunt instrument she could find, levitating it to the massive opponent, and smacking it.

RC calls out Swampert again. "Tank, get right up next to that thing and Ice Punch away! use both fists and don't hold back!" RC orders. Tank charges over to the Hippowdon and starts to unleash his Ice Punch fury.

Meanwhile RC was picking up whatever wasn't bolted down and hurling it at the Hippowdon.

"Maaag!" Maggy cried as it jumped to fight the Hippowdon. It wasn't one to just walk away. She jumped at it and kept using Brick Break as much as she could.
