OOC: *pats Mika* Yayness! Photoshop rules! ^-^

Ah yes, poor doggies. No wonder girl dogs never gave Mac a second look. I just though he was annoying to them or something. ^^

Lucky for Reina that she doesn't have any ground/rock/steel pokemon. Unless the types effected with eventually change? o.o Ah well, it would be fun to play a psycho pokemon of my own.


Reina
----------------

Keeping up with Valen was proving tough. He seemed to make gliding between people and dodging stray pokemon attacks look easy. Reina almost tripped over a crazed Swinub that had been swatted to the ground by Tabansi and then decided that it was time to bring out her own pokemon for protection. She almost didn't want to... what if they were like some of the others?

Tabansi seemed to be thinking along the same lines though, and he called to Reina over the chaos, {Reina, bring out the others! I think they will be okay if my theory is correct!} Reina had no idea what his theory was, but she trusted her Heracross' judgement and grabbed her other two pokeballs.

A Staryu and Ninetails appeared in a flash of white light, and Pixie seemed to know what to do, keeping herself afloat at the left side of Reina. She aimed spurts of water at any oncoming pokemon, and to her back was Phoebe, making sure that attacks from behind would not be a problem. Tabansi ran on the right side of Reina, looking nervous but not overly scared anymore.

However, when they came within view of the large and raging Aggron, Tabansi felt a lot of that subsided fear come back. The thing seemed even more fearsome, and Reina thought of her own father's Aggron. This looked nothing like the kindly Aggron he owned though, it was more like the extra-creepy version.

Pixie trembled. She didn't want to return to her ball though, as she could help in beating a beast such as that Aggron.

Reina panted as she halted next to the now stopped Valen. "Ugh... some tournament so far, eh?" she said with a smile, but the smile faded as she looked to what Valen seemed to be looking at.

"Eh? It's... those robed guys...," Reina said shakily. They were quite creepy all chanting like that; it was as if they were mesmerized by some unseen force, willed on to continue the chant. She turned back to Valen and noticed him looking a bit pale; she couldn't blame him though, she was probably paler at the moment.

Feeling her courage failing a bit as the enraged Aggron began to look in their direction, Reina's eyes widened, "S-so what do we do now? Fight it I assume? That's how these things usually go," she said, the fight part coming out a bit higher-pitched than usual. She would if she had to, even in such eerie conditions.

Tabansi looked up at Reina and Valen. {This looks bad....}
 
OOC: Kekekee...the type affected? Mmmhmm...it might change...I say it might because...well, where's the fun in knowing all the answers? >D

Anyways, that's...an interesting piece of logic I see on Rosairie's part there. XD

IC:

Valen would probably have grinned at Reina's comment, had the situation not been so serious. He had been trained to fight to the last, never to give up no matter what, and there were many times when he had lunged against seemingly impossible odds and come out triumphant, but this...he had never seen a situation like this before, and never been face to face with a pok?mon as powerfull and intimidating as this Aggron. The boy severly doubted that his team, even Seirini, could prove to be a match for a creature this powerfull, especially being type disadvantaged as they were.

As Reina inquired about their course of action, Valen snapped out of his thoughts and back to the present situation, just in time to see the armor-clad pok?mon raise one of its fists into the air, swinging it, and the hefty bulk of the chain attached to it until it finally managed to dislodge the last of the poor handlers who had still be holding onto it into a nearby wall, accompanied by a decidedly nasty crunching sound, the man slumping down against the wall, unconscious. The last of its distractions now cleared out of the way, the Aggron turned its full attention to Valen and Reina, seemingly deeming the few pok?mon around to be dismissable as it raised its armor-clad tail, and turned around, the heavy appendage swinging straight towards them and striking a large chunk off from the side of an unfortunate building on the way.

"Duck!" Valen didn't have the time to phrase his sentence any better, nor to wait for any kind of natural reaction as he bluntly sezied Reina's arm and dragged her down as he crouched himself, the careless tail sweep passing just above them and releasing its payload into a building on the other side instead, sending another shower of broken concrete and dust into the air.

"Reina." Valen said, quickly getting to his feet again, "Those hooded freaks are running this show. If you can stop their chant it should calm down the Aggron! Go take them out, I'll keep this brute occupied!"

At the end of his sentence, the boy lunged forward, intent on getting as far away from Reina and her pok?mon as possible and apparently being correct in his guess that the creature's attention was focused on him first and foremost as the Aggron dutifully turned after him, lunging forward with its metallic claws raised. This time, however, Valen was ready, quickly leaping onto the side, although apparently it wasn't fast enough as the boy immediately let out a surpressed groan and clutched his right arm with his left, a thin trickle of blood from the scratch he had recieved beginning to make its way through his grasp. The boy stood defiant however, glaring straight at the Aggron and preparing his next dodge, hoping that Reina would hurry up and do what she had been told.

The barrier would hardly protect the group from physical attacks, but at least anything elemental would be reflected.

I thought Mitten was using Reflect.. That works the other way around.. XD

Sorry, I'm being a negative morning person again. XD

Barely a moment had passed after Avery sent Odie back out of his ball, when out of no-where a few dozen Geodude and Graveler suddenly came into view, apparently coming towards the aforementioned girl at high speed. It was like a stampede of sorts that even made the ground start rumbling..

"Oh snap! Get back!" Avery shouted, instantly grabbing both her Umbreon and Sableye by the heads (much to their discomfort) and flung herself back against the nearest wall, since they weren't near enough to an alley.

In an instant the Geodude and Graveler were rushing past, not even noticing the girl and her Pokemon as they made their way down the street, roaring loud, inaudible things while a mad glint became visible in their eyes. Most of them were charging into inanimate objects like trash cans or walls, sometimes benches.. Almost as if their main goal were to cause as much destruction as possible.

What's with these Pokemon!? Avery thought to herself. Heh, even her thoughts sounded scared and confused. She had no time to contemplate further, for as the main group finally made their way past, a straggler, which was a Graveler, actually noticed Avery standing there with her Pokemon pinned to the wall, turning towards the threesome and roaring angrily.

"This ain't good." Avery said under her breath, quickly lowering Odie and Fable to the ground, neither of them complaining about how uncomfortable they had been once they laid eyes on the Graveler that was now roaring at them.

"Fable, return! Go, Diamond!" Avery shouted, deciding that she may as well go with the type advantage. With one hand, she returned the trusty Sableye to his Pokeball, clipping it to her belt while at the same time throwing another Pokeball up into the air, its occupant being released soon after.

In no time, the Lairon appeared beside Odie on the pavement, taking a moment to register the surroundings in her brain, as well as that awful chanting.

{Avery.. W-What is that.. Noise..} Diamond stuttered, beginning to twitch slightly, while the Graveler prepared to charge.

"Uh, well, look out for that Graveler! Use Iron Tail!" Avery shouted, not understanding why her Lairon was now twitching, almost uncontrollably, but nonetheless knowing that if she didn't attack then the Graveler was bound to run her over.

In response, Diamond bellowed, no, roared as loudly as she possibly could, claws and tail glowing a bit as she began charging at the Graveler, who was pretty much doing the same thing, save glowing.

Within moments the Graveler and Lairon were tearing at each other, each attempting to rip the other's limbs off by any means necessary. While the Graveler attempted to go in for a Take Down, Diamond ripped at his face with continuous Metal Claws, turning around every so often to unleash an Iron Tail on the Graveler, who only seemed to get angrier with each successful hit.

{D is acting funny. Does she not like this outside?} Odie whispered from his spot near Avery, watching in horror as the Graveler and Lairon tried to tear each other apart, not daring to make a move for once because he didn't want to get involved.

Avery seemed to be thinking something along more serious lines.

"D-Diamond! You don't have to battle so hard! Take it easy, please!" Avery stammered from her spot near the wall, instantly regretting what she just said, for the Lairon immediately turned around and roared at her own Trainer, while at the same time avoiding the Graveler's latest Take Down attack.

Of course, soon afterwords, this caused the Graveler to run himself right into the wall, but that wasn't the point.

{D! You can stop it now, 'cause you're actually kinda scary at the moment!} Odie shouted, his only response being another consecutive roar, followed by a Lairon charging straight at him.

"RUN!" Avery shouted, picking up Odie with both hands and taking off up the street, transfering the Umbreon to one arm while Diamond bellowed something inaudible, instantly giving chase with her own Take Down.




OOC:

Here comes Avery. XD
 
OOC: Oh yes, I forgot to comment on that little bit of Rosairie-think. ^-^ That cracked me up!

Oh snap... it seems I've forgotten the difference between effected and affected. What was that again? I could never remember.... >.>

Poor Avery! Attacked by her own pokemon! The horror!! The HORROR! XD


Reina
--------------

Coughing slightly from the amount of dust that had accompanied the bashing in of parts of the surrounding buildings, Reina nodded to Valen's orders.

"Don't get eaten or smashed, Valen!" she called to him as he raced off.

She figured he would be the type to take on a rampaging Aggron on his own, though she found herself puzzled at why the beast wanted to get Valen and him alone. That certainly was odd... though it was none of her business, so she put that thought away and tried to focus on the robed men. This looked easy enough, but who knew what these guys were capable of? Guess they would find out soon enough, and so Reina and her pokemon began to fight their way up to the top of the ruined Aggron pen.

Tabansi dodged a hurtling Geodude and huffed out a comment, {Well, that Valen character certainly has his work cut out for himself. You should thank him for making you duck when we get out of this.}

"I- I could have ducked on my own!" Reina snapped back. She was appreciative of the boy's help, but she always felt a resistance to giving thanks to anyone's help she didn't ask for. Tabansi chuckled.

{Yes, I figured as much. Uhnnn!} he grunted as flew over a crazed Lileep that was about to lunge at him. The bug figured it was better to not hurt as many of the pokemon as possible; after all, it was obvious they had little idea of what they were doing so it wasn't really their fault.

{Keep alert!} warned Phoebe in her calm yet stern voice, {I sense that these robed individuals are quite dangerous.}

Tabansi made a disapproving noise, {Pfft... really now... you can sense that?} He was skeptical of this Ninetails, and was never one to appreciate psychic powers and intuition. Unless it was his own of course.

{Taban! She is trying to help...,} Pixie said in a timid voice that could barely be heard over the roaring and stray attacks.

Finally they were approaching the monk-like chanters, Reina wondering if these guys had any pokemon. Hopefully not, as that would complicate things for her. Their chanting was off-putting, and Reina felt a chill go up her as she approached them. They were so intent upon the chanting... but surely they noticed her presence?

Next to jump into her mind was how she was going to take care of these guys? What if they were being controlled by someone and weren't really the bad guys? She didn't want to mortally wound anyone. She would have to choose her attacks carefully, and Valen didn't have much time. She had already taken up a lot of it with getting up here.

"Phoebe... let's try a Confuse Ray!" Reina said to the Ninetails, and the beast nodded calmly, her long tails swaying this way and that. The pokemon leapt forward and her hazel eyes began to glow a deep blue that seemed to radiate a light from them. She tried to focus it on the nearest of the robed people, hoping it would do its magic.

"Pixie! Squirt some water at the others! Not a full-fledged attack, but just enough to made 'em mad!" Reina commanded, hoping this would go well. Pixie aimed at one of the men, and let loose a blast of water at his chest.

Reina then turned to Tabansi, "Tabansi, analyze the situation. We'll wait and see how this goes and then figure out what to do next." She nodded to the cobalt bug and he returned the nod, agreeing with her.

OOC: Of course I'm letting you control the robed guys Alter. I have no idea what they're capable of. *dun dun dun!!* ^^
 
As the Confuse Ray struck, one of the chanters on the back row suddenly faultered, his words turning awkward and muddled, completely out of tune with the others' as he began stumbling back and forth in an attempt to retain his balance. One of the middle ones seemed to have been slightly distracted by Pixie's Water Gun as well, but soon resumed singing as the leader let out a treathening command that sounded mostly like a hiss.

"Fools!" the leader spat out, his gaze briefly travelling across the hooded figures and Reina and her team, "It's only a brat and her mewling servants! Continue the chant and we shall drive these insolent heretics of with the power of Typhoeus!"

The leader immediately resumed chanting, as did the robed men, even the confused one, although he still continued swaying on his spot and the words sounded slightly slurred and far less fanatical. This seemed to cause an immediate reaction in his partner on the back row, the second hooded figure taking up his own chanting with even greater vigour, his gaze, as well as that of his three comrades, now turned onto Reina's team, although there was still a definitely distant air about them, while the leader had resumed directing his chant into the horizon.

As the chant intensified, the words now carrying a slightly different tone, the seats they all stood among suddenly began trembling treatheningly, a loud cry and the sound of heavy footsteps annoucning the arrival of an enraged Donphan, the elephant pok?mon charging straight towards Phoebe with its tusks at the ready while two other figures suddenly burst out straight through the floor, leaving two cracked holes behind. One was the small, round figure of a Shuckle's shell which spun around a bit on the ground at first before its occupant poked its head out, immediately unleashing an aura of protective energy into its surroundings...a Safeguard technique, probably meant to block any further trickery on Phoebe's part, at the same time, the second figure, this one an uncharacteristically hostile looking Quagsire, charged at Pixie in a blind Headbutt, lunging straight through the jet of water and only seeming to gain energy from it.

Meanwhile, a good bit below, Valen made another hasty dodge, leaping forward towards the ground and covering some additional distance with a smooth rolling motion that left him standing on his legs at full alert in the end as the Aggron swept at him with its tail, once again missing its mark and striking a large dent into an innocent building instead. The boy picked himself up, his face now not paled as much by fear, for he had, to a certain degree, grown numb to it by now, but as of bloodloss, a further score of scratches having formed on his unprotected arm as a result of various evasive maneuvers he had pulled, the blood staining his left hand entirely red and dripping onto the ground beneath him as he wiped the sweat from his brow, forcefully pulling himself together to prepare for the next strike and hoping that Reina was really up to the task. In the distance, the sound of a feminine voice calling for help and the distant rumbling of an approaching pok?mon became audible, but the boy didn't have the attention span to analyze this at the moment, all of his energy focused on keeping the steel type occupied for as long as possible.
 
As JJ continued to hobble along down the path, his ears filled his mind with small flash memories of what he had seen in the last half an hour, the intense face of that Nidoking...the look of hate on the Forretress, the Marowak and how it seemed to be longing to cause physical pain to pokemon and human alike......Corsola, his poor Corsola....

Jeffery stopped and leant against a wall, he wanted to carry on, but his knee was demmanding a break.
Grovyle stood next to him, not closed eyes and careless, but arupt and ready to attack at any moment, he seemed to know that something was wrong, even thought he hadn't actually seen any of the previous events.

Perhaps it would b a good idea if he was to let Corsola back out and see if her situation had improved, what was it that all the pokemon, that had reacted in one way or another, all had in common. Perhaps if he could figure it out it would be easier to know what pokemon may attack him, and be more prepared, because lets face it, if he took another fall like he did with Marowak, he could end up breaking something......

''are you ok?...'' he said with concern to his Grovyle.

{Me?!I'm fine, it's you im worried about}
''I'll be fine, just you had a battle with that Marowak, do you want to take a rest''{defenitely not, Jeffery please, i'll feel a lot better out here with you}

JJ felt a sence of pride here, and his heart skipped a beat.
''.....bu......Thankyou'' he said gratefully.

suddenly something hit him........
perhaps Valen had had something to do with all this?......JJ never did quite find out what he had been up to when he sent Taillow on the job. coming to a decicion, he pulled a pokeball out of his inside pocket and opened it in a luminous explosion of light,

{Like....whoooooa duuuuude, wassup? and heeeeeey Grovy Gro, little high li'l low buddy}
he held out a wing to Grovyle, waiting for a high five like they usually would do when they exchanged greetings

{no time right now Taillow} The grass pokemon said

{like, whoa, whats up?} he replied eagerly.

''Taillow, when i sent you to look for that boy earlier, I never asked you, did you have any luck?''
Taillow perched itself on Grovyle's head and put a wing to his beak, thinking hard.

{hmmmm, a dude with messy black hair?}

''Yeah!''

{aaaand uuum, really tatty clothes, like ripped and stuff?}

''Yea yea! { yea yea!} JJ and Grovyle said excitedally in unsion.

{nope} taillow said

JJ's smile dropped and he uttered a deep sigh. Something told him that Valen may have had something to do with this, but he had to be careful, his biased'ness may cause him to blindly see the truth....

''Lets go'' me muttered, and began to walk as fast as he could along a path, he came to a flight of steps which he took, grateful for the barrier to lean on. And came to a street.
He stepped out and began to look around, the first thing that he saw, was a pokemon battle. Just ahead a Gravvler and what appeared to be a lairon were just ahead, and were fighting with absolute brutality....it was as if each was trying to literally destroy the other, and not just KO it. JJ had a small flash back of the battle Grovyle had with the Marowak, something told him he wasn't going to forget that any time soon...

He turned his attention back to the fierce battle going on, pokemon shouldn't be battling like this...it was just wrong.....He was just considering sending in Grovyle to calm them down, when ahead, he saw a young girl. Looking more carefully, he realised that he recognised her. she was one of the girls in the lift earlier...the one with the sableye.......Avery?...was her name?

He decided to chance it....

''AVERY!!'' he shouted towards her...
 
OOC: o_O So . . . many . . . posts . . . ::is rather lost::
As far as my understanding extends from skimming the posts, the event has begun, and several characters are being attacked by robed men. But . . . Are there any specific details I should know?
 
OOC: Umm...yes, I guess you could say that. *Cough* Hmm, basically the tournament started, people had started gathering points for KOs when a group of five folks in dark brown robes started chanting outside of the Aggron's pen, driving all Rock, Ground, and Steel type pok?mon in the city crazy, so it's pretty much chaos. At the moment, Reina is fighting the robed guys and some pok?mon they called in, Valen is distracting the Aggron, and Avery is being chased by her own Lairon. Hmmm...that's about it, I think.

{Run faster! Run faster! How come you're not going faster!?} Odie yipped from his spot on Avery's shoulder, which he had just climbed to. Apparently he was choosing to stay there instead of run away on his own.

Avery frowned, knowing what the Umbreon was saying, just going by the way he was yipping.

"I would if.. I could!" She shouted back, her breath already becoming precious because of how fast she was sprinting. She dared not look back, but if Odie was telling her to go faster, chances were that Diamond had not stopped charging and was actually gaining speed..

The following maniacal roar from behind Avery proved that to be true.

{Then return her to her Pokeball! Stop running, turn around and do it, please! Odie is scared!} The Umbreon whimpered, his ears drooping while he sank down on her shoulder. However, Avery had no time to decipher what he had just said because someone had just called her name. It had come from a guy up ahead, that blonde one from before.. What was his name again?

"JJ! No time to talk!" Avery shouted, glancing towards the boy and his Grovyle, then gasping to make up for the lost breath, continuing to run as fast as her legs would allow. She could still hear Diamond charging, it all confused her so much..

{D has gone nuts!} Odie shouted towards JJ and Grovyle, not knowing what else to do but inform them of the situation, even though he really didn't choose the best of words to explain.
 
[OOC: I see. Arigatou. ^-^;]

Chain knelt in an isolated alley, Sneasel at his side and a small computer in his hands. An image of the trainer's damaged Porygon was displayed on the screen. Whoever you fought against, Circuit, they must have been pretty powerful. Either way, though, this shouldn't take too long to repair. After that, I can analyze the data we downloaded.

As he heard a low growl beside him, Chain turned toward Sneasel, questioning, "What is it?" The dark Pokemon waved her paw slightly, indicating that she desired silence. Within seconds, a deep rumble could be both seen and felt. "What the . . . " Chain murmured, standing and slipping the computer into his pocket. A female trainer carrying an Umbreon dashed by the alley's entrance, shortly followed by a crazed Lairon.

Chain watched the scene in silence, his expression impassive and unchanging. That girl . . . She seems familar. Odd. I thought she had a Lairon. So, why--

''AVERY!!'' Chain's thoughts were interrupted as JJ called the female's name. Tapping Sneasel's shoulder, Chain started toward the edge of the stone passage. Avery was her name, then. I suppose I should try to help her.

As the male arrived at the alley's entrance. Avery was already a considerable distance away. Sighing, Chain commanded, "Sneasel, form an ice wall in front of Lairon."

Instantly, a thick, frozen barrier shot from the ground directly before Lairon, blocking its path. Within seconds, ice had completely surrounded the rampaging Pokemon, enclosing it in a wintery prison.

Removing the computer from his pocket, Chain designated the program to auto-repair Porygon. It wouldn't be as fast as if I did it. But, I suppose the situation won't allow for that. Replacing the computer in his pocket, Chain called, "Hey, you! You okay?"
 

Reina
-------------

{Reina, I think it's safe to assume that the robed men can probably force these pokemon to attack us,} Tabansi said, looking critically at the chanting group.

Phoebe could easily see the Donphan charging toward her, and being a much more nimble pokemon, darted to side as the elephant pokemon lunged in for the kill. She growled at the pokemon, not wanting to hurt it too badly, but she certainly wasn't at an advantage here and couldn't afford to take chances.

Pixie didn't see the charging Quagsire though, and was hit hard by the Headbutt attack. She was knocked to the ground, but got up with a much tougher mindset. Even if these pokemon were doing things against their will, it was fight, and she never gave an inch in a fight. She was trained by Reina to be that way in battles, and this was a battle if any ever was.

{You'll regret that Quagsire!} Pixie called to it angrily, spinning up into the air and awaiting a command from Reina.

{I need to help out, Reina!} Tabansi said gruffly, poised to race over to the Shuckle and attack. Reina shook her head though.

"No! Forget the pokemon, you need to get the robed guys! Focus on them not the... oh I'll help out too," Reina called, figuring she could at least do something to help them, she hadn't sparred with her brothers for nothing, "Come on now; Pixie ignore that Quagsire you can't do much against it, use Surf on the Shuckle! Tabansi use Seismic Toss on that Quagsire and hurl it off of the pen!" She turned to Phoebe who was still trying to dodge the oncoming Donphan.

"Phoebe this way, jump over it!" Reina called as she raced up to the robed men, "Help me out, the Donphan won't charge you if it risks hurting these monk guys." She was banking on the chance that the pokemon would hesitate doing something with the risk of hurting its precious controllers, but she knew that he might just switch tactics and use another attack.

Reina and Phoebe both knew that merely poking the men wouldn't do much, they would have to resort to something harsher. Reina threw back her right arm and raced up to the nearest robed man to lay a punch onto his jaw. She did connect with something, and it was probably a bad mistake, but she had to do something. Phoebe wouldn't be able to defeat them on her own.

The Ninetails blew a stream of fire from her mouth directly at the robed men, hoping she could catch the leader in it. It was hard to aim for him, he hadn't placed himself in an easy area. The flames licked the robes of the men, and a few caught on fire, no doubt it would disrupt them a bit.

However, as Phoebe was about to blow another torrent of flames, something hit her hard in the back leg, she screamed, and kicked whatever had hit her. It was the Donphan, it had attacked anyway, and its tusk had sliced a gash onto the Ninetails' back leg. She blew fire at the pesky pokemon, though it wouldn't do her much good with the type disadvantage.

Pixie had a fairly not-so-easy time with the Shuckle, it was part rock, and this made it extremely vulnerable to her Surf, but it still made litte impact on the crazed pokemon. She aimed her burst of water at the turtle-like pokemon, who gave her a sneaky smirk back. The water did make contact with the Shuckle, but not before the pokemon spat out something of its own. A splatter of poisonous liquid landed on the floating Staryu, and she flinched at it oozing over her. She tried to spin it off, but it stuck to her like syrup. She felt her energy drain, and then squirt the Shuckle with one final blow of water out of frustration. This simply made the Shuckle angrier and wetter. Pixie, feeling more frustration, sparked out a random Thunderbolt, forgetting that electricity did less than nothing against a rock. She spun around, still trying to get the poison off, and the Shuckle began to use another attack, a well-placed Wrap attack. Its limbs began to wrap around the spinning Pixie when she had spun too close to the pokemon. This was partially the poison's fault, it had slowed her spinning considerably, leaving Pixie quite vulnerable. She tried to squirm out of the Shuckle's grip, but couldn't get a good amount of energy up.

Tabansi had his hands full with the Quagsire, he did not have a type disadvantage, but he was not at the advantage either. His main concern was getting the thing away from Pixie and the others, it seemed to be more interested in Reina and Phoebe than him. He tried to attack it, but the blubbery pokemon just kept evading him. He resorted to grabbing onto the thing with his horn and shoving it back over and over, trying to think of a better way to do this.

OOC: Eep! Must go eat lunch... ;_; So... hungry....

EDIT: Edited for ignorance. Apologies to the Shuckles of the world. I do think you guys are rather cute.

Avery would have kept running until she found a dead end, were it not for Odie repeatedly tapping her on the shoulder and barking something so fast that even if she could understand, it would've flown right by her.

She slowed to a halt, turning around to spot Diamond encased within walls of ice, now desperately clawing at the walls and attempting to smash through them with her steel armor. She immediately saw Chain's Sneasal nearby, obviously the one who had subdued Diamond for the moment.

"Oh, uh, thanks a lot.." Avery stated towards Chain, walking back in the Lairon's direction. "She.. She just went bonkers!"

At this point she had stopped in front of the icy prison, which Diamond had yet to smash through, returning the crazed Lairon to her Pokeball while Odie watched in silence from her shoulder.

{Odie is very much confused. D never chases him down like that. Only bullies do stuff like that.} The Umbreon whimpered, his ears still drooped, eventually hopping down from the girl's shoulder, landing with ease and now surveying the nearby area in horror.
 
Striding toward the now-empty ice prison, Chain observed, "So, that Lairon was yours?"

The trainer fell silent for a long moment, his gaze quiet and thoughtful. It's unnatural that this would happen . . . Somehow, I get the feeling that this event isn't just a coincidence either. If only I could find an opportunity to analyze that data from WaiWai Inc.'s computer. I don't know why, but I'm certain that it's related.

Approaching the walls of ice, Sneasel raised a paw and lightly touched their cold surface. Instantly, the walls transformed into a cold mist before fading into the city air. Shifting her attention toward the Umbreon as he sprang down from his trainer's shoulder, a deceptively sweet smile crossed Sneasel's features. However, before Sneasel could perform her customary mischief, she felt her trainer deal a sharp, warning cuff to the back of her head.

Having knelt beside the ice-type to deliver the warning blow, Chain's expression displayed a slight annoyance as Sneasel clambered onto his back before perching on his head. Without a word, Chain stood, raising one hand and lightly pushing the Pokemon from her place. Landing on the ground with an unconcerned ease, Sneasel promptly sprang upward and returned to her previous perch.

Choosing to ignore Sneasel, Chain turned his jade eyes fully toward Avery and asked, "Have you seen any other Pokemon with a condition similar to your Lairon's?"

"Yes, she's mine.." Avery replied softly, turning Diamond's Pokeball over and over in her palm. Four years I've known her, too.. What the heck happened? Avery thought to herself while Chain's Sneasel proceeded to annoy him. She just went crazy when I sent her out. Yeah, she was twitching, too.. At this point her brow was furrowing. Didn't she say something? What did she say?

Of course, Avery couldn't understand her Pokemon very well except Fable. She could only go by tone of voice and body language to get the jist of what they were saying. She sounded disgusted. Like she smelled something awful. Or like she was listening to awful music.. Before Avery could continue her thoughts, she heard Chain's question, snapping to her senses.

"Oh, yes. There were just dozens of Geodude and Graveler rushing by earlier.. They were smashing and breaking everything they could, seriously! Not to mention that Camerupt earlier.. Jeez, it went right into a wall! These Pokemon are freaking me out!" She replied, nodding firmly.

{You are smart guys. Tell Odie why D was acting like a bully.} Avery's Umbreon yipped from the ground, setting his gaze on Chain, not to mention the Sneasel on his head. The whole incident had freaked him out, and now he wanted answers.
 
"Honestly, I'm not sure why this is happening," Chain quietly replied to Odie. "However . . . " The trainer paused, falling silent. I don't know if I want to involve anyone else in my investigations. Then again, with so many rampaging Pokemon, it seems that everyone here is already involved. And, given the situation, I doubt that this girl or her Pokemon would report me to the police. At least, I hope not.

Chain's eyes shifted upward, as though inquiring Sneasel's approval. The ice Pokemon shrugged indifferently. Returning his gaze to Avery and Odie, Chain finished, "However, I may be able to find out the cause of this. And, considering the present condition of the city, it would probably be easier for me to find out with your help. Although, I should warn you . . . My methods aren't quite, er, conventional." Chain turned his glance to one side as he continued, "I have some data that may contain the information you seek. But, while I'm searching for it, I can't afford to have rampaging Pokemon constantly attacking me. You get my drift?"

''What the?!'' JJ cried as Avery sprinted past, shouting something about D going mad, he turned back the way she had run from to see that the lairon that was battleing the Graveler just a moment ago had begun to charge her and was heading towards.....him!....Jeffery.

Shocked, JJ and Grovyle jumped backwards, back onto the bottom step of the steps he had come down to avoid the pokemon that missed him by inches and continued to storm past in a crazy rage.

''Another pokemon gone crazy! what, is, the DEAL!'' he shouted, his frustration growing fast. he turned to Grovyle who was breathing hard and looking round the corner where the pokemon had just ran
{I can't see it....perhaps it turned a corner?}
{Like, thats the most probable idea dude, but, what was it doing man? why so stressed, that thing needs to learn to chill out dude} Taillow said in responce

''Avery!'' JJ suddenly blurted out with, coming back to his sences
He jumped back out onto the street and tried to run down the street, but his leg still wouldn't take the weight, he let out another cry of frustration, and proceeded to walk as fast as he could, taking long strides. Eventually he came to a turning, he looked round it, and there she was, Avery vreathing heavily, and looking very distorted, she was with an Umbreon and.......That boy!
It was the same one who he had very briefly seen earlier with an abra before he disapeared, more then likely from a teleportation.
The Lairon was nowhere to be seen. JJ looked at his two pokemon with a confused face, before turning back to the 2 humans and walking over to them

''Are you ok? and where did that Lairon go?!'' he asked Avery.

Pixie had a fairly easy time with the Shuckle, it was part rock, and this made it extremely vulnerable to her Surf.
Click to expand...

If you forget about the fact that Shuckle has a base Sp.Defense of 230 which makes just about any special attack futile...*Cough* Poor ol' Shuckie got so underestimated right there...just as an FYI my NB Shuckle took a Water Spout from a full HP Kyogre and kept going. But meh, we'll just assume that the Shuckle was of significantly lower level/disfavourable nature I guess...

"Uurgh!" Valen groaned as an Iron Tail attack came all too close for his liking, the ensuing shockwave knocking the boy into the air and sending him against a wall, his back slamming painfully against the hard concrete. Scanning his surroundings, the boy immediately realized that he had made a mistake that could very well be a fatal one as he found himself in one of the many side-alleys that Undercity contained, with the Aggron looming by the entrance and a solid wall barring the path behind him. Realizing that he really had no other chance, the boy quickly reached for his pok?ball as the steel type charged forward, claws at the ready and a sadistic grin spread across its face. And as fate would have it, this was just the time when the clips on Valen's belt had decided to be troublesome, bluntly refusing to budge as the boy tried to wrest his chosen pok?ball free. Valen quickly darted to the side of the alley in an attempt to steer off as much of the damage as possible, bracing himself for the impact...which never came, as both boy and pok?mon were suddenly surprised by a loud, frenzied cry.

{HUZZAH!!}

A small Cubone, looking just as frenzied as the countless other pok?mon Valen had run across, suddenly lunged down from a window sill above (How the creature had gotten there in the first place was anyone's guess), diving straight for the startled Aggron's head, slamming down on it with all the impact that the bone club it carried could muster and, probably as much to its own confusion as to Valen's, causing the armored pok?mon to stagger backwards with a pained roar, the weapon having struck it in an awkward spot between the armor plates, which incidentally was much more vulnerable. The steel type quickly regained its composure however, once again turning to Valen, but the little Cubone wasn't done yet, charging fearlessly at the larger creature even though it was about five times the ground type's size, hacking away viciously at the Aggron's toes and kneecaps and forcing the armor-clad pok?mon to, for a moment, ignore the boy as it attempted to shoo of the little creature. This proved surprisingly troublesome however, as the steel type's clawed arms were very large and heavy whereas the ground type was small and fairly agile as it twirled about with its club, resulting in the Aggron delivering numerous swipes on itself, which only served to make it more aggitated as the pair slowly moved out of the alley, due to the Aggron's constant need to make space between itself and its opponent, and Valen was quick to act on the opportunity, darting out of the alley and assuming a position at a fair distance from the battlers, feeling very much relieved by the narrow escape, and the momentary breathing pause, as he watched the Aggron finally managing to pick up its little opponent in one of its clawed arms, only to recieve a painfull jab from the club straight to its eyes as it lifted the ground type up in order to dispose of it for good through devouring.

Meanwhile by the Aggron's pen, the leader of the group merely took a nonchalant step backwards as Phoebe tried to hit him with a Flamethrower, the flames almost licking the hem of his robes but not quite, and the man not ceasing or even faultering in his chanting for as much as a second. The same, cold-bloodedness could not be attributed to his comrades however, as the man whom Reina had punched reeled back in surprise with a pained yelp, a definite cracking sound ensuing from his mouth, the man starting out a feverish coughing routine as if something had suddenly gotten wedged in his throat, which was precisely the case as he finally managed to spit out the violating objects from his mouth; it was a pair of front teeth, slightly yellowed with decay, apparently this particular man hadn't been very carefull about his dental hygiene, something which now proved to be a fatal mistake as he seemed incapable of voicing a single syllable anymore, his words gaining a high-pitched squeak to their ends as the air rushed straight through the two new holes it had been granted, making his chant sound more like whistling while an air of alarm spread amongst the other three, two of them maintaining their chant out of either fear or devotion, it was hard to tell, even as the flames began spreading across their robes while the confused man kept running about in a circle.

Meanwhile, the Quagsire had been caught quite off guard by Tabanasi's attack, landing on the pavement with a loud thud, but rising up nonetheless and suddenly experiencing an all new kind of feeling...the froth ceasing to burst out from its mouth and the fierce expression reverting to its usual cheerfull smile. For a moment, the water type just stood there, scratching its head in confusion about the unfolding events as it tried to figure out what it would do now that the demanding voices were gone. Finally, the creature clapped its hands together in excitement, grinning broadly as it began moving its thick body and short, stubby feet in a rhytmic manner, a makeshift dance that ended with the creature raising its hands to the sky and slamming the ground with its tail out of pure excitement, unleashing a happy cry that echoed throughout the area as a sizeable rain cloud gathered above the pen, a heavy downpour soon ensuing and soaking all upon it, quite efficiently dousing the flames on the hooded figures in the process. Both chanters from the back had now been incapacitated, and apparently, a part of their influence over the pok?mon had died with it.

As the second one of the backrow chanters fell, an immediate change overcame the Cubone, the vicious glint and reckless courage suddenly dissapearing from the ground type's expression to be replaced by an expression consisting of confusion, and ordinary self-preservation sense as it suddenly ceased its attack. Ironically, it was precisely the survival instinct that gave the Aggron, still as mad and bloodthirsty as ever, the chance it need to strike its impudent little opponent properly, the armored pok?mon gleefully striking the Cubone straight in the stomach with a powerfull blow from its plated tail, sending the ground type flying through the air in a wide arch and onto the pavement, just a small distance away from Valen where the Cubone let out a pained whimper as it tried to sit up, only to drop to the ground again, a new set of cracks on its skull helmet.

Apparently the Aggron had become so aggrevated by the ground type's performrance that it continued to ignore Valen, charging instead for the Cubone and leaping triumphantly into the air, propelled by a hefty blow it dealt to the ground with its sizeable tail, ready to put the little creature out of its misery with a devastating Body Slam while Valen merely watched, his mind feverishly at work. Of course common sense told him that it was pointless to interfere if his opponents had decided to kill each other off, but the Cubone didn't look the least bit mad anymore, in fact, the only emotion visible on its face was fear as the giant steel pok?mon charged towards it. And the Cubone had saved his life, even if it wasn't on purpose...

Valen growled indignantly at his own thoughts, coming to a decision at the very last minute and lunging forward towards the Cubone as well, although he approached from the side, performing the same, smooth rolling motion as he had before just moments before the Aggron landed, its shadow already looming treatheningly over both creatures beneath it. The boy was quicker however, catching the Cubone in mid-roll and managing to dodge just moments before the Aggron struck down, the shockwave once again knocking him through the air a bit, causing him to fall painfully on his knees just a bit away.

Ignoring the pain, the boy struggled back up to his feet. All the moving and slamming into things had definitely taken its toll as he looked considerably pale now, shivering and feeling slightly cold as a feeling of nausea and dizziness began entering his senses. "Bloody honor..." Valen hissed for himself, gritting his teeth and dashing blindly back the way he had come, even though he knew that the Aggron, who was currently busy with getting back up, would be following. The boy didn't see any other choice anymore, though, he knew that he was perhaps only moments away from fainting, knew that he was running out of strength, and knew that Reina had made progress on her task. With a little luck, she would finish it by the time he got back, no, not with a little luck, she would finish it. This the boy kept telling himself as he ran through the streets, eyes closed and all effort focused on simply getting as far as he could as fast as he could, the Cubone still pressed tightly against his chest. He could already hear the Aggron's heavy footsteps behind him, the indignated roars, the heavy breaths...in his mind's eyes, the boy could already picture the Aggron chasing him, gaining on him ever so slowly, knowing that it was inevitable. But, he reasoned, if he was going to die then he was at least determined to make the plated lump work for it. Arguably, he might have saved himself by dumping the Cubone and making his escape while the Aggron was preoccupied with it, but to Valen's mind this was not an option; First of all, that would completely have undermined the risky maneuver he had pulled, and the boy had never been fond of contradicting his own actions, and secondly, he simply didn't want to grant the Aggron that satisfication, the satisfication of one of its enemies betraying the other. No, he wished to spite the creature to the very end, and the best way to do that was to hold on to the ground type in his arms untill his last breath.

OOC: Okays, just as a clarification, folks; Ground types are no longer affected because that part of the chant has been disposed of.

Avery blinked, taking a moment to figure out what Chain was saying. Wow, this guy must have cool resources, eh? She was just about to reply when she saw JJ limping up to them, as if his leg were injured or something, his Grovyle in tow. Ah yes, she had run past him when D was chasing her..

Ignoring the confusion that the memory stirred up, Avery decided to respond to JJ instead.

"Ah yes, I'm okay.. He saved me." Avery said, gesturing towards Chain. "But.. D is back in her Pokeball now. She's my Lairon.." She finished, now lowering her gaze to the ground.

{Yeah! She was such a meanie-head! She didn't even stop when I asked her nicely!} Odie shouted from the ground, bouncing up and down as his usual energy returned. {Maybe she ate something bad! I dunno! No one will tell me anything!}

Avery sighed, turning her attention back towards the Umbreon and lifting him off of the ground, stroking his head as he was complaining.

"Calm down, Odie.." She said softly, forgetting all of what Chain had said, not to mention JJ.
 
"Looks like you had a run-in with some aggressive Pokemon, too," Chain observed, studying JJ and his Pokemon. By the looks of it, I suppose I've been rather fortunate not to meet any rampaging Pokemon. Not that I want to see how long that fortune holds . . . Placing his hands in his pockets, Chain turned away from the others. "Seeing as how certain Pokemon have decided to target anything living being in sight, it would probably be beneficial to move to another location." The male trainer glanced back over his shoulder, shrugging slightly.

"That is, unless you want to meet more angry Pokemon." Without waiting for a reply, Chain started down the street, murmuring to his Pokemon, "If you're going to stay on my head, Sneasel, then keep a sharp watch. It seems that at least rock-types are being affected by this madness, so your skill with ice will be invaluable." Scarlet eyes shimmering eagerly, Sneasel nodded.
