Welcome to Gaia! ::

It didn't take very long for the two girls to rush forward as well, hoping to at least catch up to the other group of three. "Come on Luna, I have no idea if this door will allow more than one group through!"

"Merde...." The human Aile looked for something to take cover under as the rocks came in, at least the ones that weren't being cut down be the two Leslies. "Okay, Tatooine, let's go! Earth Power the steel one!"

The hybrid would lift up off the ground to keep herself out of reach of the Regirock, or at least try to. "Okay then, making me strain. Well, for that, take this!" The Flygon hybrid would dive back down, flipping in midair with her tail glowing and slam the legend with it. "Iron Tail!"

"Gah!"

"s**t. Mythnine, return!" Crystal recalled the Arcanine quickly as the explosion hit, sending both the Espeon hybrids flying. And when they were trying to get back up, the tremors began, keeping the two down. "Don't suppose you have any ideas?"

"No, not at all! Unless you want to risk a flying type!"

"Might, if this keeps up!"

Giratina Darts had watched the Virizion plow through the ice attacks with little trouble, and on account of all the battle training he had recently just had, he had a fairly good idea where it was headed as he moves to intercept it, his gold and black trench glittering slightly as he takes off towards Freth and the green blur that was now attempting to pierce her heart, his Dragalge hot on his heels as he goes. "Get that off of her with a Dragon Pulse!" Hastily, realizing the situation, the Dragalge takes aim with its snout and fires, perhaps a little too quickly. The pulse of draconic energy takes on a purple hue deeper than the poison earlier as it belts towards the legend in a burst of light, but the shot was probably only going to wing the thing, and Darts was still a few seconds from being physically on the scene.


In one moment of Gengar Darts' life, there was nothing but the sheer radiant happiness of life anew. He was back on top as the Intercontinental Champion of Everything, he was back in his jacket, and he was back in action again with Snagem. Sol was there, even though he seemed a little... odder than the Sol in his world, but he was as easy to rile as ever. The next second plunged the easy-going hybrid into a dunk-tank of never ending pain as the Lugia entered the picture, emitting its enormously destructive Aeroblast. One second was all that Darts had to fling himself forwards before being hit with something that sounded like a freight train bearing down on him, tons and tons of pressure pounding down even on the outside of the blast. The vacuum like nature of the attack pulled the air from the Gengar hybrid's chest, even though he didn't need to breathe. Phasing wasn't going to do anything against this, and as the attack actually finally barely wings him, the coursing energies of Lugia enters his body like a car battery put to water, throwing him for a loop as it sledgehammers him into the watery floor, the solid rock not giving away as he is driven down into it. He doesn't move as he lies, face down in the water. There was no chance of him suffocating, but he wasn't moving.


The man known to Blizz and Freth as Darts doesn't hesitate as the fire looms ahead of him, his hand already throwing a Pokeball as he gives chase to the Houndoom, releasing his Blastoise. "Blastoise! Hydro Cannon!" The enormous turtle Pokemon quickly rights itself as it sees the looming onslaught of fire ahead of its trainer, who is running directly into it, his jacket waving out behind him.

"Blas!" It exclaims, quickly taking aim at the fire and the trainer, unleashing an immense water blast from its twin cannons, careful never to hit its trainer directly, merely hosing him down and using the majority of the aqua on the fire itself. 'Darts' plunges forwards into the inferno, trying to give pursuit towards Dark, a hunting knife in each hand. He had gotten the full bore of that Taunt it seemed, and now he had a manic determination to catch the Houndoom hybrid, his Pokeball returning his Blastoise just before diving into the thickest flames, hoping his water-soaked jacket would be enough protection.

"Freth!" I rushed over, tackling Freth, avoiding the impalement that was set to come. We both hit the ground hard, a minor inconvenience compared to what could have came upon Freth. I recognized such a move from Cobalion. A Sacred Sword attack. That had to have been it. This Virizion is really set to kill...considering the time frame, it probably was before the trio trusted the likes of humans and hybrids...only to then soon after have that trust broken. Regardless, this doesn't bode well for the likes of us now.

"Urgh, how in the world did it take all that damage and not slow down like that!?" Freth asked.

"No idea." I said. "We got to try to shut this thing down before it does us though. We need to first slow it down to do so...Tristen!" I shouted.

"What is it!?"

"We need some cover!" I shouted.

"Okay!"

"Oh crap, Glalie, look away!" Freth shouted.

"Porygon-Z, watch yourself!"

"You too, Castform!" Tristen shouted, before focusing real tight and unleashing a powerful, blinding Flash to blind the Virizion.

------------------------

On the other end of the temporal spectrum, the fight continued between Dark and the three alternate Snagems. Freth repositioned herself, as did her significant other, getting ready for the next move, but only to stare in confusion for a moment as to what Dark was talking about. That soon became irrelivant when Dark unleashed a mighty inferno, The two Articuno hybrids braced themselves; one had the insane tolerance to heat, more so than the other. Freth couldn't withstand the fiery fury. As soon as the attack was over, she dropped to her knees, out of breath, trembling, aching. The burns ran rampant. It was hard to get back up to fight again.

"Freth!" the alternate Blizzard shouted. He was still in fair standing; though even he wouldn't be able to take another assault such as that. The Nasty Plot really drove up the force in what this hybrid was capable of, and there was nothing he could do short of pounding him into the ground to reverse it, and that was going to be a task in and of itself. "Blast it!"

The alternate threw up his arm. Icy pillars shot out of the ground to entrap the Houndoom hybrid. "Go back to hell!" A quick wave of the arm then a clinch of the fist, the pillars detonated, unleashing the fury of the Ancientpower attack. With as much power that this hybrid is putting out, the alternate could only wonder just how much even a supposed super effective attack would prove against him.

There was no where they could go, the combined kains would have to leap down the deep abyss. With more magcargo's rolling closer, the kains gulped, and leapt. The feeling of hot lava just missing his rear as he fell. The drop wasn't much, short enough for Kain to stick the landing with only a little shacking. Looking around with his police car eyes, Kain found himself in a fork of passage ways. "You have got to be kidding us?" The Kain's sigh'd. Any one would hate to caught in a movie cliche as this one, especially when one is being followed by boulder pokemon.... oh come on two in one? a huge macargo would roll down the hole after Kain spiting lava behind its every inch. "Oh for the love GI-Ar-er-gah-er... Ow lets try not to do that again." Kains minds would split in pain if they tried to contradict each other. Besides the splitting head ache, kains path also needed to be solved. Rushing down the right corridor his feet would stomp on the black soot-ed rock, desperately to escape. the further he ran down the hall, the brighter the red ominous glow of heat grew. a sharp left was up a head and may be exactly what they he needed. skidding as hard spewing soot in the air, he bolted down the corner. The huge lava boulder would slam right into the wall cracking and rupturing the whole corridor, and like that the arch way would collapse.

Kain though was lucky enouph, for once, to be in a cylinder room with steam wafting the air. "Where are we? It has us stumped. Well at least we got away from that magcar- OH COME ON!" The kains double toned voiced would shreak at lava spilling through the cracks of the collapsed tunnel. He backed up as far as he could, as the lava almost crawled towards him. Just as it made it to about half way towards him, the ground would shake. "Okay do we have any Idea whats going on? NO WE DON"T BUT IT"S GETTING LOUDER!" The two kains screamed at eachother over loud stomach growling like noise. "Here they go, you think this will be fun or horrifying father?" The dark lord would hiss in their minds, "Arn't you F***ing worried!" With that scream of Arceus , the floor and kain would blast strait up into the air. Stuck to the floor from the immense speed, of what only could be considered a geyser, from all the steam blasting around them, made the Kain's face jiggle and stretch.

the fun didn't stop there as the rock floor would hit a spire on its side, throwing the kain's into the air. Now this is just great, Kain would be now face down on the floor, weak and unable to get up at the moment. "See I told you not to worry" "NO YOU DIDN'T THEY COULD OF DIED!" "But they didn't." The cheeking ghost god would snicker at its frustrated father.

If it wasn't for the timely Light Screen, Sol would've surely been obliterated by the Aeroblast. It came off too quickly to properly react, but the dulling, however slight, was able to save him from that fate. It wasn't enough to stop leaving him in a lot of pain, though.

Cera fared a bit luckier by both hiding behind everyone and otherwise backing the hell out of dodge, saving her from some of the pain too. That's not to say it didn't hurt at all, as the pained scream and sudden drop to the ground indicated. "Why'd it have... to be that...?" She asked, her voice almost a murmur.

"Surely, we're not as prepared," Sol managed to respond, looking around for his Xatu. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found, possibly caught in the attack and not so lucky to have any part of it nullified enough for survival. If nothing else served as a harsh reminder that there was no playing around, that would've been it.

"Regardless," he said, struggling to get back to his feet, "we'll have to do something. I doubt a second attack's going to be any weaker than the first."

---

"Guh!" Aden immediately braced himself for the attack, as did Nidoking. Though the unusual hybrid was able to withstand it to a point, his Pokemon wasn't, frozen over and toppling with a hard thud. A direct assault didn't seem to be the most effective method, but then, he never was opposed to straying from that. "Okay, guess we're gonna need Plan B," he said, recalling Nidoking before sending out an Ampharos.

"Ampharos, Confuse Ray!"

The orbs on Ampharos' head and tail began to glow at once, emitting an unusual light and focusing it on the Regice before her.

---

The Inferno's flames would eventually die out, if a little faster than expected thanks to the Hydro Cannon from Darts' Blastoise. As Dark saw the Ancient Power coming, he knew his tactic was beginning to work. He let the attack hit as well, braced for the detonation and his own bulk allowing for added protection. As the dust cleared, it'd be found that it wasn't enough to bring him down, now cloaked in flames as he continued his kiting. He knew something was around, something that could prove advantageous in dealing with this lot. Or at least keep them busy.

That something, admittedly, was what two Crystals and Amaranth would soon be introduced to. A hole appeared in the ground as what was responsible for the tremors and attacks emerged, but it was practically invisible. Only when it tried to wrap one of the Crystals up in a Bind did its blending cease, revealing a decidedly massive green and black snake, although with the occasional white scale and several frills on its head. It looked like something that didn't quite belong in this world, but was also the last thing one would want to rile up.

Amaranth, naturally, was more than a little startled at the sudden events and had a hard time getting herself to do much more than back up. She might've been getting better about it, but this whole string of events to her seemed like a bad nightmare.


Alternate Sol, for what it was worth, was still trying to catch up. But he wasn't liking what he could feel at all. It made him want to find out who or what was there all the more, and confirm his suspicions aside. Obnoxious comments, for now, could wait.

The Raines would duck down, thankfully not taking as much damage from the Aeroblast. They'd still take the hit hard though. "Owwies..."

"Ugh... Okay, don't enjoy doing this, but need to at this point. Gummi, let's go!" The hybrid threw out a Luxury Master Ball, the ball opening to reveal a Shiny Jirachi. Which promply glomped the hybrid woman's face.

"Chi! Ji ra!"

"Oof! Love you too, Gummi, but we have bigger issues. We need to buy some time, and you're my best bet. Get a Doom Desire ready!" The Jirachi looked at her trainer for a moment, before closing closing her eyes and gathering energy. One of the legendary's tags glowed white, and the eye on it's belly opened slightly. "Guys, move, I don't know how long I can stall."

"W-Wait, you're not going to?..."

"Yes, Luna, I don't have much faith we all can get out."

The human stared hard at the hybrid, then sent out her Chatot again. "Music Man, Chatter!"

"Squaaaawk, your mother was a Rattata, and your father smelled of elderberries," the parrot shrieked, giving a good idea what the human watched. Whether or not it payed complete attention, Raine was never sure until about now.
The hybrid would wind up wincing as she landed, cursing loudly as she went to one knee. "Well, that ended badly." She cursed again underneath her breath, staring at the three legendaries. "Ugh. Forretress, let's go. Magnet Rise, then Gyro Ball!" The Forretress spun up off the ground and hovered there, able to temporarily make itself hover, then began to spin and roll towards the Regirock.

The Flygon would fly back after being hit with the rock, doing a couple flips in midair before recovering. "Gyooon..."

"Tati, you alright?"

"Gyoon. Fly Gon."

"Good enough, at least. Let's put it all in then. EARTHQUAKE!" The Flygon flew a bit higher into the air, then landed with a force that sent shock waves through the entire area.

"Alright, nice work Tristen!" I shouted.

"Urgh...I'm...feeling kind of out of it now..."

"What? Now?" I then took notice to the grass overgrowing so suddenly from the ground, wrapping around Tristen. Before I could move myself, however, I looked down towards my own feet. "Crap! FRETH!"

"I KNOW!" She tried to jump away from the ground, but by the time either one of us realized it, we were snared to the ground.

"PORY!!!" The foilage then started to overbear Porygon-Z, as it was to Freth's Glalie, and eventually, the Castform belonging to Tristen.

"Blast it! Let us go!" I shouted. I had to muster something up while I still had the energy to pull it off. I quickly charged in the palm of my hand the dense icy power. The mass grew large and dense. An all or nothing shot, just as they always are. I then tossed the powerful Sheer Cold attack towards Virizion to shut this legendary down.


---------------


Soon after the Ancientpower detonation, in a flash, the alternate rushed forth with Agility. He had to take him out, or if anything, keep him busy. Freth wasn't able to fight right away now after that onslaught, and there was no telling the condition of Darts now. When I started to get close, he started to let loose a onslaught, various punches, kicks, whatever he could do to gain an edge on Dark. It worried him, however. He never fought Dark like this; it was a whole other person, as far as he could tell.
