Welcome to Gaia! ::

A white blur skidded to a halt in front of the wall of flames that blocked the entrance to the palace. The Absol stared at the wall of fire, backed up several steps, and coiled up like a cat about to leap.

"What do you think you're doing-!?" Issun asked in alarm from the clump of fur he was residing in. Amaterasu ignored him as she jumped into the fire. A powerful wind surrounded her, pushing the flames aside so that she skidded safely into the hall on the other side.

It was a scene of pure chaos, and Amaterasu flattened her ears against her head. This was not good. Eridanus was here. The Sun Goddess took off down the hall, trying to avoid the fights where she could. She just couldn't afford to stop and waste time.

She saw the large wall of ice that was slowly melting under the increased heat in the room. The Canvas came up, the Brush did its work, and the wall grew larger, more solid, buying those hiding behind it some time.

An Infernape was attacking the ice wall, throwing Flamethrower after Flamethrower, determined to get at the ones behind the wall. It shrieked as a sudden pain erupted across it as if it had been slashed with a claw and it turned sharply, seeing no opponent near it.

The remains of the Water Sport as well as the melted ice suddenly came together into a stream that flew to engulf the confused, panicking, and screaming Fire-type. A line of cold arced from the wall onto him, freezing the Infernape to the spot.

"Nice brushwork Ammy!" Issun had been hesitant to get involved in this, but now that he has, there's no turning back. Leap first and think later, right?

Amaterasu jumped onto the wall, her claws digging in and she launched herself upwards from there, landing on the other side next to the Eeveelutions and Lucy.

The Absol turned to Moonfall.

"You need to get Her out of the palace. The guilds can not win this fight." She barked and whined. "Get down the hall, find a way out of the castle. I will clear the way."

It would take a miracle for the Guilds to win against Eridanus. They had to keep Ivy safe. Amaterasu saw why hadn't fled yet, and lowered herself next to Ami. She whined at the two Glaceon, looking back between the Vapreon and the two ice-types.

"I think Furball here wants you to get the miss there on her back. And you two should climb on as well." Issun offered helpfully, hopping up and down on Ammy's head like a glowing flea.

Infernape: 10HP - 10HP (I'm not counting Issun and Ammy's a god thus one-shotting is totally justified)



As Incultyr brought up a large wall of rock before him to block the charging houndoom, he hoped that none of the enemies had escaped down the halls towards the West Wing. Many Teams leave their non-combatant members in their rooms during alarms, leaving most of the area helpless. Not to mention that Morana and Acer were still up there somewhere...

A shadowball slammed through his rock and into his. The Larvitar grunted as he took the blow, barely moved. His wall simply crumpled as he let go of his hold on it, but then they all flew at the Houndoom in tandum.

Small sharp pebbles assaulted the fire-dark type, who yowled painfully and with rage as each hit.

Houndoom: 11 HP (- 4)

A certain not-very-bright fire-type seemed to have a death wish. Suicune slammed up against the barrier one more time, infuriated with the Eevee's smirk when a sharp shard of rock slammed into her shoulder. It didn't penetrate deep, but it drew blood and Suicune whipped around to find who had been stupid enough to attack the enraged semi-legendary.

The Magcargo seemed to realize its mistake, but it had no way to run. Instead it tried to protect itself by expelling a a large plume of fire and specks of lava about itself.

A large wave of water, summoned from nowhere, crashed down on the fire-rock type. Steam hissed and lava hardened into small black rocks. The Magcargo came out of the attack looking stunned, but mostly unharmed.

It lobbed a blob of lava at the Suicune.

Magcargo: 20 HP (- 4) - this guy's special defence is currently through the roof. He spammed Amnesia a lot. Consequently, he's not all that smart.



Katara turned sharply in midair to attack the Charizard again, her mouth open to rain small, sharp-edged stars upon the fire-flying. It roared, letting a stream of fire out of its mouth blindly as Katara swerved and dodged. Melissa felt the flames come perilously close to her, and she flattened herself against Katara's back.

Fire licked the edge of Katara's right wing, and she could feel it liquefying into the ditto goo she was made of. Melissa looked up to see Katara trying to reform her wing, and the Bulbasaur threw up a light screen behind them.

As the flamethrower came back over them again, it was deflected by the small, shiny rectangle of translucent psychic energy. By the time it faded they were already gone.

Katara brought her wings in again and dived down at the Charizard from above. Melissa left a cloud of sleep power their wake as Katara went through one of the charizard's wing. Melissa was nearly thrown off if she wasn't so strongly secured.

The fire-type thrashed in agony, its tail whipping over Katara's back and brushing Melissa. Another light screen came up to keep her from burning up by the tail's fire, but the heat so near her made her cringe, stinging her fire-sensitive skin.

As the Charizard fell down towards the ground, Katara was too slow to break free and one of the fire-type's claws hooked onto the notch in her tail. With a shriek the Skarmory and her passenger were pulled down to the ground together.

Charizard: 10 HP (-5)

((A Charizard and Skarmory just crashed into the floor, hopefully not having squished any of your characters))



"Go help Aiden! I'll take care of this one." Christopher growled at Beka as he threw a large wave over the Arcanine as it got to its feet. water hissed and steamed about them, reducing their visibility. Beka took one last swing at the Arcanine, who reared and turned to her before leaving the fight to Christopher.

The arcanine tried to follow her as she made her way towards Aiden, but was stopped when a morningstar slammed into his side, its wicked spikes digging into flesh. It turned its attention back to Chrstopher, furious.

Aiden was dodging the Flareon's every attack, simply stepping around every Flamethrower, every swift. The flareon was growing visibly more vexed and frustrated, leading to mistakes. Aiden saw an opening and lunged with his sword.

Unused to the weight and range of the steel, he overexerted as the Flareon dodged aside. He brought his short blade in to slash the Flareon aside as it tried to come in for a counterattack. He winced as the fire scorched his skin. They made no contact but the Flareon's body was simply too hot. The entire room was heating up as well, and Aiden was finding it harder and harder to breathe through the acrid smell of burning, and smoke and steam.

The Flareon yelped in fear as a large sword sudden appeared where she was moments ago, and its wielder, Beka, pulled it back up for another swing. She'll teach this Flareon not to mess with her fiance.

The Flareon glared at her, fangs bared. Beka stared back coldly as fire sprang more fiercely from her wrists and ankles. She sprang forward to slash at the Flareon, just as Aiden unleashed another set of Razor Wind.

Arcanine: 20 HP (-4)
Flareon: 14 HP (-4)

Ethfael and Sereni found themselves the main focus of the Rapidash's strikes, both of them forced to weave back and forth to avoid the rapid Fury Strike assault that their opponent was giving. It was tiresome, for they were repeatedly forced back, unable to press back, and there was no time to attack. Suddenly something swooped past, slicing an Air Slash with lightning speed across the Rapidash's path and leaving a rather nasty cut. "Sorry I'm late!" a familiar voice said, and Ethfael and Sereni looked to find Avaria standing proudly to the side, seemingly undaunted by the mass amounts of Fire Types, despite her distinct Type disadvantage. "I got here as quickly as I could!" The Shaymin leaped into the air and barreled into the Rapidash with a Zen Headbutt, before swooping up once more. "You're in a bit of trouble around here," she commented, glancing at all the chaos.

"Whatever would give you that idea?" Ethfael said as he struck the Rapidash with an Aqua Tail, sending it reeling back from the impact, and Sereni hit it with a Spark to follow up. With a whinny it charged into Sereni with Flame Charge, causing the Lanturn to flinch from the force, but quickly Ava swooped by and pushed her out of the way, tapping the ground as she did so; the resulting effect was an Earth Power that brought the Rapidash to its knees. Ava took to the air once more, surveying the battle area for any places she might be of assistance, as Ethfael and Sereni kept their eyes on the Rapidash, ready for it to make its move.

Rapidash: 29 HP (Gained 10 from Ava's arrival)

Maesto was hammering away at the Camerupt without pause. He slashed with Fury Swipes at the Camerupt's side repeatedly in the same place some much that he pierced the Pokemon's hide to draw blood. He chuckled with malicious delight as he hit into his opponent's side with Faint Attack. "You have another thing coming to you if you thought I could be trifled with," he hissed. Jumping back only to release a Dark Pulse straight at the Fire Type's head.

"That's the spirit!" Tris shouted to the Zorua, jumping in beside him with an Aqua Jet, "See, I knew you had some fight in you!" Wind swirled around Tris, and he released the Razor Wind at their opponent quick as he could. The Camerupt slammed into Tris with a Take Down and the Ditto fell to the ground, momentarily stunned.

"Oh no you don't!" Maestro growled, another Foul Play blasted into the side of the Camerupt. He wasn't going to forgive this Pokemon, and wouldn't rest until the Camerupt was taken down. Tris managed to sit up and watched Maestro fighting. This was by far the best entertainment he'd had in ages. The Ditto aimed a Water Gun at the Camerupt as he watched, throwing in his own hit. Now it seemed their roles had been reversed.

Camerupt: 10 HP

Oliver ducked a fireball, which flew overhead, and somersaulted to escape the subsequent explosion. Another one followed, and he shot it out of the air with a jet of water. He took a couple of steps toward the Magmortar shooting at him before another fireball forced him to leap to the side, then rolled on his side as it detonated. He shot another one down from his position on his back, and fired another jet of water in his adversary's direction to delay a fourth. He got up and sent off another jet of water at the Magmortar to keep him off balance just long enough to charge and attack with both knives.

(16 HP Magmortar)

A concentrated jet of blue fire created a line of incapacitated Fire-types as Celsus moved in to attack. Teeth tore at an unfortunate Combusken and flung it bodily at a Houndour, taking them both out. A powerful strike with a tail sent a rather more unfortunate Slugma flying bodily into the barrier around Solaris and that Houndoom, where it splattered.
(14 Fire-types)

Solaris----------Moonfall---------Ivy---------Zidaine---------Jasper---------Ami---------Venus---------Tempest---------Mordred

The water and the ice came up, creating a necessary protective barrier for the young royals.
Not that it did much; Ami's injuries would not fade and Ivy was paralyzed. The crystal clear ice served only as a window to the terror outside.
Moonfall could do little to allay the situation. But he was first to take advantage of the words of the God he listened to.
Moonfall responded quickly. His teeth carefully took hold of Ivy and with a jerk of his neck he tossed the smaller water type onto the Mother Goddess's back.
"Get on! She'll take you to safety!" Moonfall carefully nudged Ami slightly to get her more balanced and then set to nudging the only mildly respondent Glaceon.
Something seemed to click in the young girl's mind and she hopped onto the Absol's back without any protest.
"Please, take us to the hospital! We need to get her to a doctor!"

"Hell no!" The Raichu flipped his tail around, smashing some unfortunate pokemon to the ground. "Of course I don't have any damn tea cups!"
Venus could be seen off to the side murdering some unfortunate... something. What it was was hard to tell at this point.

"Hey, hey, come on now. Are you just going to sit there?"
As soon as the Espeon had stumbled back to his feet, he had stayed rooted to the spot. He was clearly terrified of the beast that was not only much stronger than him, but fully immune to his abilities.
"Ugh, it's just never any fun anymore." Deimos walked forward at an idle pace, no longer interested in the fight.
Suddenly, the Espeon split off. Quite literally, in fact; a second Solaris appeared and the two sprinted in opposite directions, working their way around the barrier.
"Haha, that's more like it!"
The Houndoom's maw opened wide and shot bursts of flame at both copies. Both were unaffected, but only one had used a shield.
"Found you. Now... what tricks do you have left, little Espeon?"

Eridanus briefly considered dropping the shield and striking down the Rhyhorn where he stood, but... that was simply too much effort.
And, more importantly, it would strip him of such wonderful entertainment. His worthless little Grand nephew might escape if he let it down.
His smile vanished in an instant when he noticed the Absol.
"Amaterasu! I give you one last chance; kneel and accept me as your god or die!"


Eridanus---Deimos---Rasputin

You will each be allowed to choose one fully evolved fire type to be your opponent.
It's HP will be determined by the formula below.
[How many Pokemon you are RPing] x 10 + 20 = HP.
[Ex: If I have five Pokemon...then it's 5x10+20=70.]

If you'd rather fight multiple Pokemon that's fine. Instead of HP it can be # of Fire types, or more than one fire type granted their total HP= the number you get from the formula above.

As a response to Eridanus's words, a large blob of black ink suddenly splattered itself over the surface of his barrier.

"Fat chance you good-for-nothing wannabe-god! Do you know who you're even talking to you-" Issun was crying out gleefully in a surprisingly loud voice for such a small critter, rather proud of the fact he had gotten The Brush to work, even for something that wasn't really even a brushstroke.

"Quiet, bug." Amaterasu growled, shaking her head as she got to her feet. She didn't need the annoying Kricketot marking them all as targets (too late). She looked over to Eridanus, but did not respond. She knew that he was the one that was behind everything now- or at least, Darkrai acting through him. She had to contact Arceus somehow, show her Father what his Elites were doing.

With all three of the eveelutions on her back Amaterasu got to her feet. With a quick scan of the room, she saw the nearest exit to out of the Main Hall. Mindful of her passengers, she kept her sudden sprint as steady as possible without losing speed.

The Brush came up and to the Absol, her passengers, and Moonfall, everything in the room seemed to slow down in a haze of purple mist. Everything except themselves, for whom time ran normally. Four seconds later (relative to them) things returned to normal but Amaterasu had made it all the way across the room untouched. She approached a startled looking Larvitar, who ducked (as much as possible for a larvitar) as she jumped over him, skidding down the hallway.

A Houndoom lashed out at her, but it was mostly dead already. A wind came out of nowhere, cool and refreshing, unlike the air within the hall, blowing away the stream of fire. She didn't bother finishing it off- she was already out of its range.

At the end of the hall she ran through large double doors which opened up to reveal shelves upon shelves of books. It was the library. She darted for the nearest window, which shattered moments before she jumped through the now open windowframe.

The Absol was then outside, the guild behind her as she headed for the city. Nowhere was safe, but the Vaporeon needed medical attention. There were more important targets than those Amaterasu carried; Eridanus will not go after them yet.

The entire time she tried to think of how she could save the guilds. They were doomed if this attack keeps going. They had to get as many Pokemon out as possible, without drawing the eevee's attention to those fleeing.
