and siddhartha comes back also with moon stone
muddruckers: discharge -> thunderbolt (aerodactyl) -> discharge
if aerodactyl is in the evasive stage of fly, then use thunder (aerodactyl).
if aerodactyl is under p/e move a2, then target togekiss.
siddhartha: psychic (aerodactyl) -> psyshcok (aerodactyl) -> psychic (aerodactyl)
if aerodactyl is in the evasive stage of fly, then use moonlight the first time, and target togekiss all future times.

Call Leethoof out then take a week and a half yourself. Great example you're setting Maxim. Anyways, going to dump orders here and get to flavor...hopefully tonight but probably tomorrow.

Soon enough, Xavier had made it back to town with the package in tow.
"Here ya go sir! One package delivered by the Xavier delivery company!"
"We don't have a delivery company."
"Ah finally, somebody around here that knows what they're doing!"
"If you don't mind me asking, what's in that box?"
"That's classified."
*puppy dog eyes*
"Oh fine."
"What? Just like that?"
"I know that look, you two will just follow me around until you satisfy your idiotic curiosity, and then mess up some kind of experiment and then we'll all be screwed. Now pay attention, as I'll only say this once, and you shouldn't tell anyone else."
"In that case, I'm turning in for tonight. Last time I got in on the action like this my shop ended up destroyed."
The owner went into the back, where he had a bed made up and everything. Apparently he lived where he worked. Then the scientist opened up the box, revealing a silver staff like object. It was clearly manmade, and had in big bright red letters "WARNING: NEVER USE."
"What? Why would you even make something that you don't want anyone ever using? That doesn't even make sense!"
"That's because it is containing something inside. Legend has it that some thing here ended Hotekh's reign of terror and stuff."
"You're the worst legend teller ever..."
"Look I'm a mechanical engineer, not a blasted historian okay? Anyways, I have been hearing rumors that some nutjob opened Hotekh's tomb a while back, so I ordered this jobber in case it shows up here."
As if on cue, Hotekh's mummified hand crashed through the wall of the store.
"...Ah bullcrap."
=============================
Well, it was around this time that things went to heck in the battle. My loss was pretty much assured against the might of the Straton clan. Without any orders from their trainer...
Dang these guys are good.
Anyways, I kept looking into strategies, when my Dusknoir approached me...
"Sovereign? What the heck are you doing without Shadow's supervision?"
"Hehehehe, I'm here to end your miserable existence!"
"Hah! I'd like to see you try!"
Eh...I was banking on the fact that Pokeballs prevent the Pokemon from intentionally harming the trainer. In hindsight, the glowy black aura of doom probably should've clued me in that something was amiss.
It shot out a Dynamic Punch, and if it weren't for a good bit of luck and reflexes, my head would've followed the chunky salsa rule. It certainly left a good sized crater in the arena wall.
O.O "Eeep! Sovereign you should stop this right now! Guys, help me!"
To that, Sovereign just laughed, and, by some bizarre magic, put up a barrier around both sides of the arena.
"Fool, those pokemon aren't leaving until they finish that match. Given the circumstances, I don't think they're going to be much help to you! NOW DIE HUMAN SCUM!"
Dusknoir chased me out of the arena. Unfortunately, Dusknoir had learned some kind of teleport spell, so it took everything I had to not get killed. I had to run out of the arena and into the streets so I had more room to dodge him.
Within a few minutes I was getting near the intersection where Benjamin Lad was having his own issues with ghost types.

Maxim's recent mishap with Sovereign has left his and Leet's pokemon stuck in a dome, but they continue the fight as usual. Max is down to his last mons - Serenity, a Togekiss, and Korangir, an Aerodactyl. Leet's squad, meanwhile, has brought out a Stunfisk named Muddruckers, and Not Buddha returns for an encore.
Unfortunately, while Serenity leaves the round unscathed, Korangir takes some nasty damage, and paralysis too. All the while, Leet's duo is nowhere near done fighting.
Oh, and Ted is still chasing Al around with an I-beam.
♫Second Eye catch
***
HEADS UP!
LOOK OUT!
Hotekh brought his hand down where El and I were, slamming into the pavement with enough force to leave a small crater.
SHIT!
UWAAA!
Thankfully, I tackled her and dove out of the way, just barely managing to avoid getting us both squashed like bugs.
Ngh...you alright?
I...I think so. What the hell is that thing?!
Only the forearm was there, but Hotekh was indeed manifesting himself. Why is he here? Wasn't Prosopida waiting at Nardac?! They've been spying on us, no doubt.
And sure enough, a short, redheaded goon stepped out of one of the rifts.
♫Nikopol
Huh. I go hunting a princess, and find a prince AND the meddler to go with her.
Wait, that voice...I couldn't really get a good view of him in the darkness back then, but it was obviously him.
You're the asshole from Poketopia!
So it is. Where's your dog? Did he run away?
Rico...if what Rogers said about Schneider is true, that means its these guys who are holding him hostage. Or maybe they had just...
they live
No. No, he's alive. They all are. Somehow I know my pokemon got out of this. Something...something like how I knew El was there eariler.
Am I in denial?
Eh, makes my job easier. I'll handle these two, Hotekh. Kill the others.
Like hell you wi-
Hotekh cut Moai-face off by bringing his fist down on him.
EASTER!
...thankfully, he dodged just in time, and I think I saw him send out a pokemon just before Mask leapt off the pharaoh's shoulder.
Now that I think about it, Hotekh doesn't seem too focused on the situation at hand. Why is that?
***
Ah, bullcrap.
***
I must not fear.
Do you have any ideas? Please tell me you have an idea.
Okay, this is bad. Mask was slowly advancing towards us, El and I were running out of space to back away (and both desperately trying not to panic), my mons were gone, and there was no way in hell I could beat this guy physically. The only way any of us could get out of this alive was outsmarting him. Frantically, my mind searched for some idea to get us out of this mess...
Do you have Auroch on you? I'll try to keep him busy while you send her out.
Fear is the mind killer.
Wait, you're gonna fight him?!
No...just stall for time.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
Are you crazy?! Even if she manages to pull it off in time-
Don't worry, I've got a plan. Trust me, alright?
I didn't, but at the very least, I could buy El enough time to escape, if worst came to worst.
...don't get killed, Ben.
For some reason, David and Goliath came to mind as I stepped forward. I may have had about a foot on Mask, but the fact remained I was still a weak, unarmed, poke-less, and possibly concussed nobody, going up against a trained killer. Still, I can think of something, right?
...right?
Playing knight in shining armor, are we?
I will face my fear.
Missing the armor, but I suppose so.
Nothing personal, Blondie, but the girl has to die. Now be a good boy and hand her over.
I will permit it to pass over me. Through me.
Fuck off, shorty.
Well aren't you refined. I was gonna off you next, but if you insist!
Mask lunged at me with kukri in hand, about to strike. At the same time, I could hear El throwing a pokeball (and a couple more) to the ground. I could only hope Auroch brought up some illusions in time...
back
GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
And then Hotekh swatted him away, sending him smashing into the windshield of a buick. I would have gone with him, if something hadn't compelled me to jump back.
Nghakh!
And when it has gone past I will turn my inner eye to see its path.
...the hell?
And where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Did...did he just...
Hotekh turned against him? Mask must not have him completely under his control...in any case, El had Auroch, a Dragonite and an Aurumoth out at this point, so the tables might be turned now.
See? Only I will remain...or so I thought. Turns out either that blow wasn't as strong as it looked, or Mask is made out of iron, because he didn't seem to be hurt at all.
What the hell, Hotekh?! You're supposed to...to...son of a bitch.
That's when I saw the Revenankh was holding an Arcanine in one hand...and what looked to be his staff in the other.
Fuck.
***
The hell was that?!
Some kind of earthquake, mayb-SHIT!
What's going on? Did you pick up Lad?!
Yeah! He's over there! And El, and that detective guy, and...and...
The sight of Ben slumped over and unable to move flashed through Rico's mind for a second, and a streak of murderous rage crossed his face.
...and HIM.

Rest of the flavor coming up...eventually. I know Leethoof will never post on time so... :P
"Hey wait a second, why didn't I see this before? That Musharna's been given them all the tactics! Take her down!"
"But I don't want to hurt them! We need to focus on finding a way out so we can save Maxim!"
"You heard what that thrice cursed ghost said, one of us has to win to get out of this forcefield. And I for one don't intend to waste time trying to find a peaceful solution."
Aerodactyl: Sky Attack (Musharna) x3
If Musharna is knocked out or is under the effects of a P/E move, then use Earthquake that action.
Togekiss: Air Slash (Musharna) x3
If Musharna is knocked out or is under the effects of a P/E move, then use Dazzling Gleam that action.

<amazing wow surprise incredible thrawn fantastic>
"What? What kind of a command is that, Sidd? You know how hopeless I am at fighting on my own..."
<thrawn has planned for everything contingencies after contingencies after contingencies he knew exactly how this battle would end from the moment maxim revealed his team>
"As exciting as that is, I'd also like to know how the battle ends. Meaning, I'd like to know what I'm supposed to be doing right now."
<apologies im just very excited that thrawn has let me in for once i have consumed nothing like his mind before sorry>
"No worries buddy, I just need some orders. I was personally thinking I could use earthquake, seeing as how aerodactyl is a rock-type and you have psychoavoidatelekinesis, it seems to be a solid option."
<discharge>
"Oh, well I guess that works too."
Muddruckers: Discharge -> Discharge -> Discharge
If Aerodactyl is KOed, then use Thunderbolt (Togekiss).
Siddhartha: Psyshock (Aerodactyl) -> Psychic (Togekiss) -> Psyshock (Togekiss)
NEVER ON TIME
Round the seventh: Jesus Christ I took way too long with this
GET BACK HERE!
(Of course! If I intrude on the battle, mayhaps Theodore will relent...or at the worst possible juncture, the pokemon will allow me a moment to escape. Very well! I shall head for-) *THUD*
The pokemon ignore all this. Speaking of which, Not Buddha went down, as did Korangir. Serenity ends up on the wrong end of a paralysis check, so she's got that to deal with. Muddruckers isn't really done fighting.
Your next mon and orders, Leet?

On one hand, Hotekh's betrayal has left Mask distracted, putting a hand to the side of his head and yelling something, and with a couple of El's pokemon out, we have the perfect opportunity to get the fuck out of dodge before things get even worse. On the other, Rogers and Moai-face - Easter, I think El called him - are stuck on the other end of the battlefield, and I'm worried they won't be able to hack it - and if Mask is doing what I think he is, then they might be getting overwhelmed very soon.
And even if that isn't the case, Hotekh is still rampaging. Who knows what shit he'll pull if left unchecked?
Shouldn't we do something?
Yes, but what? I don't want to sacrifice anyone. I wanna get Rogers and Moai-face out of their jam, but I don't have the means to do that, and even if I did, I run the risk of El getting killed. What do I do?
...Yeah. Have Auroch conjure some illusions of us.
Goddammit...
Okay, and then?
Then...
Then we use my mightiest weapon. A technique that's been in the Lad family for generations, passed from father to son since time immemorial. A powerful move that few have ever been able to surmount!
...sorry, guys.
WE RUN LIKE HELL!
Wha-no! I'm not leaving Easter behind!
I don't wanna either, but-
The flash of a few more balls cracking illuminated us. El was having none of it.
I'm serious, El! These guys aren't typical thugs!
Ben, if Rico was in his place, would you ditch him?
Of course not! Why the hell would I-
...I just tried to tell her that her loved ones don't matter. I am a horrible person.
Goddammit...
Yeah, I didn't think so. Now how about you rack your brain for some ideas?
Alright, we risk our asses to save theirs. But how? You've got numbers, but that did fuck all last time.
Yeah, but the ninja's distracted by the Revenankh, so we might be able to use that. Speaking of which...why do you know about these guys?
deep shit
Uh...reasons?
...you got involved with them, didn't you?
In my defense, they did rob Hotekh's pyramid.
Ben, I'm cutting your balls off when this is over.
Of course, by that, she means she's going to give me a thorough tongue-lashing.
denial
So what do you know about them?
Well, Hotekh can manipulate space-time to some extent, and Mask...those kukris of his? If he so much as nicks your skin-.
You know, with all this arguing that's been going on, it should have occurred to me by now that talking is, in fact, not a free action, because while Mask seems to be busy trying to subdue Hotekh (along with Rogers, Moai-face, and what looks to be his Arcanine), two very familiar faces have shown up by now. Great, more asses to save. I just hope that damn dusknoir doesn't try to kill me agai-

"I guess its our turn again..."
"Help. Sid left and I forgot how to breath."
"Well, I suppose I can teach you that too. Lenny's having some troubles with it, so I've been trying to puff up this noxious cloud around us."
*silence*
"He looks a little sickly, do you think hes okay? Muddruckers, answer me."
*strained silence*
"Open your mouth, you dolt."
"Aha! I knew I was forgetting something. Oh, hi Jambalaya."
"Jambalaya, do you thi-"
"Lenny's fine. Stop pestering me, or preferably anybody else ever, about it."
"Эй, матушка, why you here?"
"I've been here the whole time, Andre, Lee brought me here too. And with Siddhartha off in la-la land, Thrawn out cold, and Lee locked on the other side of this dome, I'm in charge of finishing this."
"Ok, хозяинка, you in charge now."
"I'll also be switching in as well. Ready, Muddruckers?"
"If 'ready' means 'I don't know how use any of my moves', then yeah. Is that what 'ready' means?"
"Wonderful. I had no idea Sidd controlled your mind that much."
Jambalaya @ Metal Coat
Muddruckers: Thunderbolt (Togekiss) -> Thunder (Togekiss) -> Thunderbolt (Togekiss)
Jambalaya: Steel Wing (Togekiss) -> Fly (Togekiss) -> Steel Wing (Togekiss)
If Togekiss uses Endure and is not behind a sub and is not under safeguard, then use Toxic.
It always goes from bad to worse doesn't it?
Inside the store, Xavier, Cosmo, and the scientist had a brief moment of panic, while the store owner screamed something about suing somebody before ditching the scene. The staff with the other entity had fallen on the floor in the commotion. After some thinking, Xavier ended up having an idea.
"Say...is that Hotekh right there?"
"The Revenankh? Seems likely."
"All right, then let's see how he deals with this!"
Xavier picked up the staff and, heedless of the warning, decided to activate it and release the entity inside. Within just a few seconds, a giant ghost type materialized there.
It took a few minutes to get it's bearings, but soon enough it saw Hotekh and immediately lashed out to attack it! Just then, the scientist got a call...
"Hello? Oh hi boss. Eh, more information about that staff? Uncontrollable by the staff? Well I knew that much. Oh...the individual ended Hotekh's reign of terror and implemented an even worse reign of darkness? Uh...yeah about that."
"Dang it Xavier, tell me next time before you do stuff like that, now you've just gone and unleashed two eldritch horrors on the city. Way to go..."
======================
I was being chased by my Dusknoir down the streets of this city, dodging his blows left and right, when I see some sordid scene. Were they filming a movie here?
*CRASH*
Given the destruction, probably not. Naturally, right when I get there, the second colossal Pokemon had come up and started wrecking the place. Even worse, I saw Benjamin Lad with some girlfriend of his in the same scene.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me!"
At length, I decided to warn him to get out of the area. This was no place for a budding archaeologist for sure.
"Look Ben you need to get out of here, my Dusknoir's somehow gotten out of my control and----"
No sooner had I said that than Dusknoir teleported right in front of me and nailed me with a Dynamic Punch, flinging me about 10 meters in the opposite direction. The force of the blow was bad enough to break 2 ribs, and my trajectory ended up at a brick wall, knocking me out cold. Thankfully I was far enough away that it wasn't likely anybody had noticed my passage aside from Lad and co. Still, there wasn't anything I could do to help at this point, and Dusknoir had all the leeway he needed to get his revenge!
"AHAHAHAHA! My fool master has finally been defeated, and he led me right to you. IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO MEET YOUR END, BENJAMIN LAD!"
==========================================
Meanwhile.
"Well...that heist went over spectacularly. Soon, I'll have all the components I'll ever need! Heh...it seems that Dusknoir stirred up even more of a storm than I imagined. Now to move onto the final phase of this plan. Hehehehehe."
===============================
So, in summary, I was taken out of commission, and a souped up Dusknoir, a powerful Egyptian Revenankh, and a powerful Egyptian Sorcerer were about to tear up the city and Benjamin Lad. Which means Shumshadagreene City was rapidly approaching Tokyo Fireball status. What will happen? Well, you'll just have to tune into the next episode.
"Oh no...master..."

"AHAHAHAHA! My fool master has finally been defeated, and he led me right to you. IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO MEET YOUR END, BENJAMIN LAD!"
==========================================
Meanwhile.
"Well...that heist went over spectacularly. Soon, I'll have all the components I'll ever need! Heh...it seems that Dusknoir stirred up even more of a storm than I imagined. Now to move onto the final phase of this plan. Hehehehehe."
===============================
So, in summary, I was taken out of commission, and a souped up Dusknoir, a powerful Egyptian Revenankh, and a powerful Egyptian Sorcerer were about to tear up the city and Benjamin Lad. Which means Shumshadagreene City was rapidly approaching Tokyo Fireball status. What will happen? Well, you'll just have to tune into the next episode.
"Oh no...master..."

Round the Eighth: Al and Ted's Bogus Journey - The beginning
You...you're a real son of a bitch, you know that?
Owwhowhowww...
That was a hell of a camera.
Nnngh...Forgive me, Theodore...I didn't mean to-
Stop being a wuss, I'm not going to kill you. Chasing you around like that helped cool me down, I guess.
But...but you-
Oh, this?
*Ted's I-beam turns black and dissipates, revealing a Zorua at his shoulder*
It was just Romero. Come on man, I'm not the chief.
*Sigh* Regardless, I truly am sorry for your camera.
Yeah, you're still going to pay for that. When the chief gets back, we'll be drawing up your bi-
*That's when a tear in space-time opened up, swaths of rotting bandages seizing whatever it can grab and dragging them in. Al and Ted are the only ones who were caught.*

♫All the Fools Sailed Away
Judging from the sight of it, Maxim's running from that Dusknoir of his.
Look, Ben, you need to get outta here, my Dusknoir's somehow gotten out of control and-
And then it knocked him unconscious. On top of that, I noticed some colossal black thing that kind of resembles a Banette showed up and started fighting Hotekh. The sight of it looked like something right out of a Giga Woman movie.
But that's beside the point, as now Max's Dusknoir has turned its eye on us...and I think it's looking to kill.
Hate to say it, but I think NOW we need to run like he-
BEN, LOOK OU-
Before El could even finish, our new assailant teleported right behind me, a nice fat fist flying straight for the back of my head.
And then everything went black.

Epilogue:
Shortly after whatever Maxim and Lad cook up happens, when all of my Pokemon are able to SAFELY leave the arena without interference from sp00py gh0sts.
<thrawn greetings are you feeling well let us talk>
"Greetings, Siddhartha. Excellent work on following my plans to the letter and finishing the match cleanly; I trust your sacrifice was not too painful."
<i am fine>
"Clearly not, since you certainly didn't come to me fishing for compliments. What is the issue?"
<i may have rummaged around in your mind sorry more than you were planning when you fed me the plans>
<and again when you were knocked out and i was benched>
<and again when i was knocked out apologies>
<your mind is very interesting>
<your dreams hopes plans are very interesting>
"I'm honored, but not surprised in the least. You do that to everyone and never mention it to them, and an inquisitive and learned mind such as yours will find nearly anything interesting in some way. So, that brings me to the question of why -"
<mostly your memories are very interesting>
"I don't exactly see why. My life began with Don nine years ago and I have been travelling with you and the rest of the family since then - you've been around for essentially all of my escapades throughout my entire life. Have I grossly mis-remembered some key detail of our lives?"
<i have not lived for hundreds of millions of years>
Thrawn pauses for moment. His eyes open wide and he stares into the pink fog of Siddhartha's dream mist, as if searching for some answer there.
"That is something that has held my curiosity for a long time, Siddhartha. It's quite an exciting fantasy, to truly realize the wonderful circumstances surrounding my rebirth, to comprehend that I once lived a life, and that now I am living another one. A chance to bask in the awe of modern science, and to accept that I just had a four hundred million year pause in my life. I've spoken at great length with the scientists in Oreborough. They assured me that nothing remained of my old self - in essence, I had just been born as an adult, but no different from an Anorith bred today who evolved normally. Their research was sound. I triple-checked their methodology and data, and it seemed that they had missed nothing. Most of their studies were based on our partner Jurassic, who's been having significant psychological struggles since his revival, an exception to their usually streamlined process. They had written off his problems as a mistake in the recreation of his brain tissues. I assumed that any further investment in the matter would be wasted, and written off the whole endeavor."
<...>
"I imagine you have a different answer from the one the Oreborough Museum has given me. Do tell."
<sleep>
"As much as I'd love to see what you wish to show me right this minute, my mind is racing -"
One accurate hypnosis later...
Thrawn, a few Anorith, and a Cradily are carefully and hesitantly climbing onto the rocky shore of a small barren island. Small green shoots poke up from the dark sand. It is drizzling lightly, though thicker clouds are on the horizon. Waves lap at their feet, and some of the Anorith look longingly back to the ocean. One edges its way back into the shallows, keeping a wary eyestalk on Thrawn.
"No, -------. That life is behind us. No more do we --------."
"I'm cold and scared, Thrawn. I don't like it here."
"Indeed, it is rather chilly. But the thought of returning to ------- is far chillier, is it not? There is nothing for us there. This is our home now."
The Anorith shuffles back on to the island silently, but is still visibly shaken by the lack of a constant watery embrace.
"Have no fear, child. Perhaps one day when ---------------- we will return. And perhaps when that day comes, our love for the sea will have disappeared entirely. If it comforts you, hold onto that thought."
"That day is a long way off."
"Indeed, --------, it is. But every day between now and then is something to look forward to. Every day we work towards -----------. Every day we learn something new, every day we train harder. This are rather inspiring times, are they not?"
"Yes."
"You are troubled. I know, I am too. ------------------. But it is nothing to dwell on, our revenge will come soon enough."
"Oh."
<that is all i have pieced together thus far>
"I thank you deeply, Siddhartha. Given your usual thoroughness, I imagine you won't find much beyond what you have already discovered. Though this answered one question, it has given me hundreds more. And since I now see the Oreborough scientists have been decidedly unhelpful, it looks like I may have to search elsewhere for those answers. I do believe I know just the place."
