Welcome to Gaia! ::

Odd, both intangible and hidden beneath the ground, was safe from Weezing's Explosion, but he didn't let Resix rest on his laurels, bursting from the ground beneath him a moment after he hit the ground, aiming the most powerful punch he could manage at the most sensitive part of male anatomy. Did Odd just stoop so low as to throw a nutpunch? Yes. Yes he did.

As for his Klink, Rhythm was hit pretty hard but, despite the immense pain from the attack and the sudden lack of energy he felt, the Klink refused to go down without a fight. Spinning his gears at high speed, he began to Charge a powerful attack. When his red energy core began to glow a bright crimson, he compressed all of the electricity he could spare into a single sphere about the size of a baseball before firing the Zap Cannon at his attacker. Who knew if it would hit, however. Sadly for them both, their attacks found no purchase, the red-clad man and his Pokemon gone already. "Son of a-! I actually try to fight dirty -one- time and I can't even get away with it?"

With Lykas, the boy made to release a Pokemon, only to be halted by Mykel holding up a hand. The Gardevoir held a hand forward and a Psychic wall formed in front of him, blocking out the explosion. When it had cleared, Mykel's Psychic wall was released and the duo found the Poison-type userr was gone. "Are they getting weirder?" "Yes. Yes they are.

Al, back with those facing Browsix, wasn't even really getting prepared to battle him again when he left. Just.....left. "That was.....strange....." He voiced.

"Ffffffffffff~/~, this stinks of trap," Chaos cursed, recalling Warbringer.

"We made it?" Keiko asked to nobody in particular. She then thanked Rita and promptly recalled her.

"That was far too easy," I quipped as I recalled Samurai.

Landing down on the ground, Dan approached Freya the moment he spotted her, ensuring her safety. "Freya! Are you ok? You're not hurt are you?" he asked, looking the girl over for any injuries. Of course he was worried about everyone but she came first in his mind. There would be hell to pay if the Hexagon Brothers hurt her.

Alex cheered as the Magmortar went down, Z returning to her side. "Good job Z! So...where exactly are we?" she asked no one in particular. Neither her nor Dan recieved much information on the mission other than the messages they got from GRAY. This was what happened when Dan chose for them to show up late, claiming he had to prepare. Personally, the blonde was just glad his injuries weren't severe from the last mission though still worried how he was holding up.

"Personally, I think the only thing stalled was his decision to escape." Sol quipped, recalling Swampert again. "Wise combination on your part, though... is everyone else alright?" He asked, looking around for the rest.


Metapod wasn't what one would called thrilled at the development. It had figured the whole deal was for defense, not to be used as a weapon. It looked a little dazed too, which was enough to make Amaranth apologize and recall it. "Is he a coward?" She finally asked.


A quick cursory glance revealed... well, little. With Purpsix gone, so was the Swalot too. Much as Ceramew would've been more than happy to pursue, such a move was futile. She looked around for the rest before she proceeded.

"Trap, plan - they're trying to ~/~ us over, does it matter how you say what their method is?" Chaos asked. He didn't really mean to snap at the boy, but he had a REALLY bad feeling about this mission, and he wasn't the type to hold back.

Meanwhile, I wasn't sure if Sol was talking to me or someone else, so I just nodded his way. In my defense, I had a bad feeling too, even if it wasn't as bad as Chaos's.

As the Snagems entered Berry Forest they would not find hide nor hair of a single wild Pokemon, the forest was completely quiet, and positively dead looking as many trees were wilting, and should the Snagems continue to hang around they would notice that some trees would progressively wilt, a few of the more veteran members might know exactly what is going on here. Should they check the far back of the forest they would find a drill like machine dug into the ground, chugging away. The one maintaining the machine was one of the infamous Hexagon Brothers, Greesix.

For those entering Icefall Cave, they would notice that the cave was also devoid of wild Pokemon, but also devoid of water, the cave usually has a reservoir of ocean water which flows in from the outside, but now, there was no water, this was startling, should they go and check the falls they would find that the falls were still there, but the water was being fed into a large machine that span the falls, and who was overseeing the machine's work? None other than the towering Beartic hybrid himself, Prudence, don't make fun of his name, or else.

And lastly, for the Snagems heading towards Pattern Bush, they would notice the place wasn't so dizzying and maze like, if anything they once mesmerizing rows of bushes were gone, all dead, and the place was now just a flat opening among a bunch of trees, and in the middle was a towering machine that resembled a lighting rod, and Yellosix was standing near it.

Back with Sub, he continued forward with Blizz in tow, not saying anything just yet, focused on finding the way towards the chi signature. "Not so fast!" A childlike voice called out as a Shadow Ball whizzed towards Sub, Pallas acting instinctively as she pulled up to avoid the blast. "Where do you think you're going in such a rush?" A young Banette hybrid said as he appeared from nowhere in front of Blizz and Sub. "We're going to stop whatever is going on out there." Sub said in a cold tone. "Haha! But I want to play! Tell you what, why don't we play a game to see who lives? That sounds fun doesn't it!" The hybrid cackled. "Blizz, watch out for this kid, he may be a young inexperienced hybrid but he has the power of the meteorites behind him. While chaotic, he is deadly." Sub warned Blizz. "I guess that means you'll be dying a second time, Kareem." Sub taunted the hybrid. "Hey! No one calls me that! No one!" He shouted, hurl twin Shadow Balls at Blizz and Sub.

"Oh, another one," Keiko whispered when she and the others made their way to the drill in the middle of Berry Forest, pointing out Greesix at the helm of the monstrous device.

"What the ******** are you supposed to be? Some kind of giant meatsickle?" Chaos jeered when he came face to face to the mighty hybrid at the end of the Icicle Caves.

Meanwhile, I instantly recognized the lightningrod Chi converter from seeing a similar device at the top of Stark Mountain. The dead shrubbery was an instant ticket to understanding what Yellosix was up to. "That's enough," I said loudly, calling out Simon as I walked toward him. This was NOT going to fly.

James stood with his arms crossed and let his teammates do the talking. Snivy mimicked his master's pose, albeit with a bit more cockiness.
Litwick floated alongside, still glowing from its Flash Fire buff.
