     Incultyr && Atra && Sherman && Zora && CecilIncultyr held back the water the best he could, spikes of earth shooting up to block up leaks that appeared. It was impossible to keep the rocks completely waterproof though, and it was getting more and more difficult to keep his head above water. Stomping down with a foot, the ground beneath him and Zora suddenly rose to the water level within his box, buying them more time. One of the walls collapsed, and Incultyr sent a large boulder out at Entei. The boulder seemed to have caught the fire-type by surprise, for it slammed into its side, hard. The Fire Type stumbled and toppled back, held down by the weight of the boulder, its head held beneath the water. Incultyr threw another rock to be sure. --- Atra was twitching on the ground, his muscles and magical routes screaming pain. Ooowwwwww. Using Judgement sucks afterwards, but man was it ever worth it. Sherman was cowering on the ground, whining at the dull, numbing pain through his wings. --- Cecil gasped as his face suddenly broke the surface of the water, and he gulped down lungful of air, precious precious air. "My...gratitude..." He gasped, recognizing the Vaporeon from the Guild exchange. ((- lots, Entei)

 ImitiDarkrai. They were fighting Darkrai. " Uh." " Let's--let's not participate here." But before that could really be executed, they were suddenly trapped in an upside down fishbowl. " Hold that thought." It was filling with water. And there were legendaries everywhere. " Well then." Team Cupric stayed in the back for a good while, trying to stay out of the battle. Then, with a moment of inspiration, Imiti decided to see if they could free themselves with the dome. After he put the water-backpack down, a teleport took him to the top of the room, where he created a Fire Blast, took himself out of the explosion's radius, and threw it against the wall. Not really seeing the results, due to the Darkrai he found directly below him, he decided to let himself fall at a controlled pace. Landing on top of the evil Legendary, Imiti teleported back to the top of the top of the dome. There he proceeded to fill Darkrai with two simultaneous Fire Blasts, attempting to float out of the way right before the explosion happened. He was dragged back into the blast radius by a tentacle, though, and landed hard in the water. Inside the water-backpack, two words were spoken. " Screw this." -- There was a brilliant flash of light. The backpack was reduced to shreds, pieces of plastic scattered all over the dome. He reared his head up, emitted a deafening roar. Inside a whirlpool in the water, Celsus the Gyarados charged. [-A lot Darkrai.]

Indigo was about to drown until she swam towards the ice dome. “Thank you,” Indigo said before she went out again. She swam far off enough that she can still return to the ice dome for some air. Her body started to spark then she used thunder shock on the nearest flying type pokemon which was Moltres and Ho-oh.
((-2 Moltres and Ho-oh))

Solaris---Ami
Was it over? The Vaporeon couldnt tell, she only noticed the legendaries begin to vanish as they were vanquished into a dark powder.
Ami, now fully submerged underwater, kicked her legs desperately to hold the Smeargle higher. The pull of the tendrils and the buoyancy of the water was not working in her favor.
Solaris continued to dangle uselessly from the black void that kept him secured to the wall, his eyes widened at a familiar voice screaming in his head.
It was familiar...but at the same time it was warped into a completely new sound.
'YOU IDIOT! WHAT DID I TELL YOU EARLIER?!'
The dome suddenly shattered into fine shimmering dust and small fragments of ice that looked like glass began to , the shadows withdrew and released their victims.
Dakrai was revealed, though his red gaze was wide.
A sharp, ivory horn was going through it's shoulder and the master of darkness gave a feral scream and vanished into the ground.
Standing just behind where it was, the large form of the God of Destruction lowered it's head to rub that horn against a nearby tree and wipe it clean of any disease that ungodly creation might have had.
"ALFRED! WE'RE SAV-ooh...evil eye..."
The transformed Gardveoir's only reply was to growl and turn to trot off into what appeared to be a reverse world portal.
This was apparently his way of saying 'you suck, walk back yourself.' since it closed after he vanished into it.
Solaris whimpered, more concerned he wasnt being punished than anything else because chances are that meant Alfred was too mad to think of one at the moment. Which was bad.

Tolin & Desmond
They walked without reservation or real worry.
The tribe was near. This was their land. They would be receiving a greeting shortly.
Of course, that's what Desmond was there for. Otherwise, the Ursaring might attack Tolin.
And if that happened, Tolin would end up doing something both parties would regret.
Killing (or nearly) the gatekeeper didn't make a good first impression.
And that's what this was all about, really. He didn't think he could scare the tribe into following him; they would be far too unified.
But it was possible that he could push them to act, one way or another.
The tournament was always a last resort.((Feel free to include Moonfall or whoever you wish.. I don't care too much.))

Moonfall --- Thunderecho --- Morning-glory ---Snowsong--- Toxic-cloud
Moonfall seemed less from enthused over this venture out to the tribe, he kept his head low and his pace quick to match Tolin's own. The Umbreon lifted his head once towards Desmond, but upon catching the Lugia's eye he dropped his gaze once more and did not look at him again.
"Not much further..." He commented, pointing with a quick lift of his muzzle towards the parting treeline ahead. Once getting out of the barely walkable path, they'd step into a small clearing of sorts where the natural baricade of interlaced trees and bushes of the Tribes wall was visible. The thick, woodwork of foliage left a noticeable gap in the barrier where door had been structured out of a pale, ivory-colored material. This door was decorated with various evolutionary items and painted swirls to mimic the tribes own designs.
Moonfall glanced around cautiously, blue eyes seeking out the Ursaring guard that usually stood at the entrance to keep out intruders. He'd need to be quick to stop Talon, as the bear was called, from attacking on sight. The large normal types dislike of Scyther was barely a secret after all.
When no one stepped forward he gave an audible sigh of relief and pressed onward to the gate.
If the gate keeper wasn't around there was no threat. The tribe would not leave their barricade to attack intruders. They didn't leave when Darkrai was at their doorstep fighting the guilds before...so what threat were these two?
The tribal Umbreon tilted his head down to press his forehead to the door, immediately his golden markings lit up in a bright glow that expanded outward to the entrance itself, encasing the white wood with a shimmering aura as well.
Just as quickly the glow faded, as did the door a sit seemingly vanished without a trace.
"Stay close." Moonfall stated softly, though it was clear that wandering off would be foolish and Tolin obviously knew better, but all the same he voiced his warning regardless.
Leading the way through the gate the small village inside was alive with the motion of brightly colored Pokemon with the intricate spiraling markings that signified tribe blood.
The sound of casual conversation began to fade the second Desmond came into view. A hush fell over the tribal Pokemon roaming the streets and silently their numbers began to lessen. Mothers nudged their children inside, some of the younger males barred their teeth threateningly before vanishing as well and in moments the path was empty.
The Umbreon did not seem bothered by this. It was rare that outsiders entered the tribe, so when they did it was cause for alarm within and more often than not the tribe would hide until they'd gone, leaving the matter to be dealt with by the guardians.
The guardian's chamber itself was simply a large tent in a brilliant vermillion color trimmed with silver. The entrance flap was closed and perched atop the support structure that made up the opening were two Eeveelution, no doubt two of the guardians on guard duty.
"Moonfall, what's this?" A high female voice asked and shifting to the edge of the tent's canopy a pale silver Leafeon with forest green markings peered down in curiousity.
She eyed both Scyther and Lugia in turn with a childish smile on her face.
"Hello, Morning-glory. They are here to see Thunderecho."
"Well, tell them to get lost." Another voice chimed in and the other evolved Eevee shifted into view, a crimson Vaporeon with golden markings. He glowered down at the Umbreon, his lips curled back to show his sharp teeth. "You know the rules! They shouldn't even be in here! How did Talon let a Scyther of all things into the tribe?!"
"He-he wasn't there, Crimsontide and...and this is important. We need to see Thunderecho immediately."
The Vaporeon, Crimsontide, gave a snort of displeasure and dissolved into a torrent of bright red water that fell over the lip of the tent like a waterfall. As it struck the ground it sprang up, shifting and bending in a very Lava lamp-esque manner before coiling about back into the Vaporeon.
"Oh goodness, he's at it again." The Leafeon mused from atop the tent still and she gave a few dainty hops down before disappearing through the tent flap, most likely to get help.
"So, what's it gonna be Moony?" The water type continued, ignoring Morning-glory's escape in favor of stepping towards the three. If he noticed Desmond or even considered the Lugia a threat he surely wasn't acting such.
"Crim, this isn't a game..." The Umbreon attempted once more, ears flattened at the other guardian.
"You shouldn't have brought them here." Was his growled reply and the Vaporeon crouched in preparation for attack when a blast of electricity struck the ground before him and Morning-glory returned, standing in the tent's entrance with Thunderecho at her side.
"Let them through."
"B-but, Thunderecho they aren't-"
"Crimsontide, you're on berry-picking duty with the females for the rest of the month. Get out of my sight."
The red Vaporeon gave an expression of pure shock before casting a glare at Tolin and then slipping off to the side and out of sight.
"Apologies for him, please come in."
The Jolteon turned and disappeared into the tent, Glory smiling at the trio outside before following. Moonfall glanced to Tolin and Desmond once before following suit.
Inside the tent was simplistic, a short wooden table made the centerpiece while various beds scattered across the room, seven in total. The beds were varied depending on the Pokemon who slept in thems type. For example it was clear which one was the Leafeons as it was a nest of grass and large leaves. She'd even decorated it with flowers.
Thunderecho gave a swift bark once inside and from the nest that seemed to be made of burning coals a large lavender figure stood and shook itself free of ashes. The Flareon was massive in size, could easily look the tall Scyther in the eye while sitting in front of him. Another nest shifted with motion at the sound, made of a soft down to replicate snow, and it's occupant lifted her head as well, blinking in surprise. The Glaceon yawned once befor trotting to the table in the center and was quickly followed by Morning-glory, the Flareon and Thunderecho who gestured to their guests to do the same. Moonfall would opt to sit opposite the guardians near Tolin for now.
"What is it you want?" The Jolteon asked, quickly getting to the point. Having sent Crimsontide away for his behavior there were now a total of five of the seven guardians here, Moonfall included. The missing Guardian, an Espeon clearly, was not present.

Tolin
Tolin walked through the village pleased with his own tactic.
Desmond's presence was a valuable one. The existence of strangers alone was something, but a Lugia was something else entirely.
He simply maintained his silence, not showing the slightest reaction to the other guardians.
When when there was the risk of being attacked. Desmond would take care of it if necessary.
The only one he needed to speak to was Thunderecho... it was unlikely that talking to anyone else would help.
He was quick to follow Thunderecho into the tent and take a quick look around; it was an interesting room.
Tolin glanced back at the Lugia behind him and nodded.
In an instant, the Lugia was gone.
"Your help."
Tolin sat down at the table beside Moonfall and continued. There really wasn't a "good" way to say it.
"The world is ending. The guilds are attempting to stop that, but the help of the tribe is needed."
If there was a chance, he would quickly continue with something of an explanation.
"Arceus is dying. His 'Elite', his demigods, are under the control of Darkrai. He has taken control of their leader and now commands them. He wants to take the place of god. If he succeeds, the first thing he'll do is kill all of us. If he fails, the universe itself will end."
Well, that was the super-short version anyways.
"We need a strong force for the final assault. We already have the assembled guilds... but an assault on the Tower of Origins is not to be taken lightly. We'll need your help."
Generally, anyways. It was hard to tell if they would be actually necessary... but it wasn't worth the risk to try otherwise.

Moonfall --- Thunderecho --- Morning-glory ---Snowsong--- Toxic-cloud
Thunderecho flattened his ears. The world was ending, the guild needed help. It was old news to him, he'd been well aware of the dire circumstances that the region was facing as of late. The Jolteon's eyes mellowed out from the fierce, commanding look from before and his lips tugged up into a half-smile.
"Naturally. The tribe is made entirely or warriors. From young ages our children learn to fight and defend themselves. It is only natural you would wish out assistance, but what can you say to assure me this is not a losing battle? Should it become apparent that there is no hope the tribe would rather face death here in our sacred home than in a battle field far away."He paused, allowing the other guardians to give their own nods of agreement and waited in case one of them wished to speak. When no voice called out he continued.
"With our help can you promise me we will win? I doubt it. I doubt you can make such a hasty statement-" Moonfall lifted his head as though to speak but the Jolteon ignored him and went on. "Let us see what the guilds are capable of. Let us view their battle prowess. Then and only then will you recieve our help. So long as the guilds are up to our standards."
The leader stepped back from the table before any words could be spoken. His eyes narrowed once more into icy-jewels before he turned and slipped out the back flap of the tent without another word.
The silence was deafening, the remaining guardians glanced at one another in confusion before one by one they filed off when only the Leafeon was left in the tent.
Moonfall sighed deeply, "I told you so." Came his respone and he glanced at the Scyther wearily. "Thunderecho will not fight a battle he thinks he'll lose. He is not that kind of reckless. He knows what cards to play and when..."
"Why play an ace when you can win with a two?" The Leafeon's cheerful voice pipped up, her face displaying a bright smile.
"Why did you stay, Morning-glory?"
"You will need an escort out of the tribe territories." She replied, smile never faltering and she glanced at Tolin curiously. Non-tribal Pokemon seemed to fascinate her.

Tolin
"No..." Tolin's voice sounded with a passive frustration. "That was a show."
That was annoying. Shows were annoying. He wasn't sure who Thunderecho was trying to placate, but it was condescending.
Thunderecho didn't have a way of knowing. His tribe would not leave. The Jolteon would, at best, have a limited understanding of the situation; let he left no room for debate.
Which meant meeting him to begin with had been without merit.
Gathering the tribe leaders had been pointless.
The answer had been decided from the start.
If the situation had been any less dire, he would have left and not returned.
Unfortunately, Solaris had a terrible habit of training the children on the field, so the guild lacked experts. Which is what they would need, and lots of them.
Dealing with the end of the world was a terrible headache.
Well, hopefully, he would at least take the fight seriously. Murder would be on the table if he didn't.
"That would be appreciated. I'd rather not ask Desmond to return in the middle of the tribe."
It would be hard to tell exactly what would happen if he did that.

Moonfall --- Thunderecho --- Morning-glory
Moonfall sulked for the most part as they followed Morning-glory out of the barrier that surrounded the tribe. The Leafeon gave a brief smile, nodding in farewell as she turned to trot back in the the large, white door re-materialized behind her. Sealing the entrance back up.
"That was a waste then, wasn't it." The Umbreon commented dejectedly, he had a feeling it would go that way, but didn't fully understand just why Thunderecho had acted as he did.
He didn't even let them explain, just said what's what and walked off. Rude.
Turning back to the path that would lead them once more into guild territory, the Dark Type paused as a rustling caught his ear and he whipped his head back around to see the Jolteon leader scaling the barricade and tumbling off onto the outside perimeter of the territory.
"Thunderecho! What are you-"
"Shhhh! Are you mad? I snuck out for a reason! Be quiet!" The electric type hissed padding forward and taking the lead towards the path.
It was clear he would speak once again once out of range of the tribe.
The Jolteon's tall ears swiveled around and he scanned the forest in silence before turning to Tolin upon verifying this was far enough.
"I want to help. Truely, I do but as leader of the tribe I have to consider what my people want."
He inhaled sharply, exasperated. "I played the part of stern leader for the other guardians. Most of which are strictly against having any outside relations, but times are changing...the old of the tribe cling tight to the old ways, the young venture out to discover new things and it's a conflict that arises time and time again. For now, trust me when I say that regardless of how the guild fares you will have our help. I just need you all to play your part...If they knew I had asked the guilds for help when Darkrai invaded our territory I'd lose my leadership and they'd kill me like they did our last leader. The tribe will have to learn that...we need to change with the world...but for now...there is nothing further I can do."

Tolin
Tolin didn't comment. It hadn't been a waste... not entirely. There were things he could learn from this.
Who exactly had the show been for, and what was it's purpose?
Did Thunderecho think so poorly of him, or was it a backhanded way to avert the eyes of his own people?
The answer came when the Jolteon scrambled over the wall.
"Then I'll make sure the guilds put on an apt performance."
All traces of annoyance had disappeared from his voice.
It wasn't that he had stopped being annoyed; far from it. But if Thunderecho had no other choice, there wasn't much point in getting frustrated at him for it.
Hopefully his tribe would be as powerful as they were ignorant. That would make the song and dance worth it.
"This world is changing. They'll be made to see that."
It was a small reassurance to Thunderecho's words. The tribe would change, whether or not they wanted to.

Moonfall --- Thunderecho
As though hearing the Scyther's unvoiced concerns the Jolteon shook his fur out, sparks running along the sharpened edges of his ruff.
"The tribe is strong. Whatever this is that is threatening the world will soon regret doing so when met with our claws."The tribe leader scoffed once, "They are fools. They will change, I'll see to it, but for now pushing the tribe away will do us no good. Let them be like children in their habits a bit longer. Once the issue is resolved they'll have to accept some new beliefs."
The electric type turned around as though to head back to the tribe but paused as though considering something.
"Moonfall..." He said simply and the Umbreon's ears flicked upward as he padded forward to his adoptive father's side.
"Yes, Thunderecho?"
"There is something I should tell you..."
The older Pokemon turned back around slowly until his muzzle was inches from the smaller Dark Types.
"Your mother-she...was not a Flareon. Was not killed in battle like we told you. She is...she was...Her name is Neon. I'm sorry."Quick as a whip the Jolteon vanished, his paintbrush tail seen slipping back over the wall in the distance before a protest could be voiced.
"WHAT-WAIT!" Moonfall starred at the ground in silence, the shock setting in.
Why would they keep this from him? Was Lady Neon really his mother? Then who...who was his father?
The young Umbreon turned tail and dashed off, leaving Tolin to find his own way back home.

Tolin
"Whatever this is that is threatening the world"?
Seemed like Thunderecho didn't know much... that put the Scyther in a spot.
Lie through his teeth for co-operation or risk it later on?
Well, the choice could be made after the tournament. Tolin wasn't above lying if it was needed. The guilds only knew because they were easy to control.
This all has turned me into something rather sinister, hasn't it?
Perhaps it was a thought for another time.
"I'll do what I can to ease the transition."
He listened carefully to the words Thunderecho spoke. Neon being related to Moonfall was not unusual... But two words stuck out to him. Just two.
Fortunately, he would be able to reach her before Moonfall did.
The Umbreon never considered that Tolin was capable of teleportation.
((It didn't seem like you meant for that to be a private "Tolin don't hear" thing. If it was, uh... edit my post? Whatever.
If it isn't, feel free to take the first post, even with Tolin arriving via teleport. Or whatever.))
