Night at Lake Verity -- OPEN FOR COMMENTS

GemGem · Dec 3, 2013

Trailer

Lake Verity was placid. One of the three main lakes of Sinnoh, this western stretch of water has been recently under both natural and mysterious forces. For one, Lake Verity has been severely depleted, due to a very strange and almost unnatural drought. The lake has shriveled in size, despite pokeranger's best efforts to alter the weather and refill the lake. Originally, the whole lake was surrounded by thick forest, bar the route 201 entrance, and the plants went right out into the water's edge; now withe drought, there likes a ring of dust and mud which separates the fauna with the luxurious water. The drought has revealed that the lakefloor composition of Lake Verity is quite rocky, as there are now a few larger stones and boulders unhidden. A strange mass of land is even more present now at lake verity as well; when the lake was originally so large you would need a ferrying pokemon to be able to get closer and understand, but with the now muddy floor, one can easily get closer to see a strange pillar of rock in Verity's center. The stone is very hard, and is quite smooth in comparison to the natural jagged rocks around Verity. There seems to be something that resembles an entrance way... but its completely covered by hardened clay, who knows how thick. Even the strongest machamp probably couldnt fist its way through it. Lake of Verity, due to its present conditions, is closed off for the public... but is not very well guarded at night... However, we're not focused on what is inside the lake, we're locked on to the entity that were near the path through the woods that allowed entrance to the waterfront.

"Hello?" a voice called out. It was a female voice, and one that sounded timid by that too. Quickly looking around and smiling at the fact that she didn't see anyone there, A young woman ran quickly to her secret hiding spot near the edge of the water.

"At least I can finally write my story in peace!"

She opened up her notebook and began to write:

I'm in at the lake again. It's oddly quiet here, but i think that it'll be a good spot for the story i was gonna write about. I think i'll need some characters first...

Lake Of Verity:

One of the three main lakes of Sinnoh, this western stretch of water has been recently under both natural and mysterious forces. For one, Lake Verity has been severely depleted, due to a very strange and almost unnatural drought. The lake has shriveled in size, despite pokeranger's best efforts to alter the weather and refill the lake. Originally, the whole lake was surrounded by thick forest, bar the route 201 entrance, and the plants went right out into the water's edge; now withe drought, there likes a ring of dust and mud which separates the fauna with the luxurious water. The drought has revealed that the lakefloor composition of Lake Verity is quite rocky, as there are now a few larger stones and boulders unhidden. A strange mass of land is even more present now at lake verity as well; when the lake was originally so large you would need a ferrying pokemon to be able to get closer and understand, but with the now muddy floor, one can easily get closer to see a strange pillar of rock in Verity's center. The stone is very hard, and is quite smooth in comparison to the natural jagged rocks around Verity. There seems to be something that resembles an entrance way... but its completely covered by hardened clay, who knows how thick. Even the strongest machamp probably couldnt fist its way through it. Lake of Verity, due to its present conditions, is closed off for the public... but is not very well guarded at night...

SUMMARY OF THE ARENA DURING THE BATTLING TIME
It is 12:21, and there are no pokerangers or officer jennys on watch. The moon is waxing, but not quite full. The sky is filled with many clouds, and the overall above is in overcast; the moon, strangely, is never covered by clouds. The surrounding forest is somewhat quite, but not eerily quite; you can hear the lulling chirps of pidove, or the yawning of bidoofs.

If you were to immediately enter the Lake premise, you would see, directly in front of you in the mud and dust, a large collection of boulder that have been made noticeable by lack of water. to the western section of the muddy outer circle, lies an abandoned bibarel dam, that was allowing a small steady stream from the lake to course through the deep forest. It is dry now of course, but the dam still stands, about 4 feet tall and 2 feet thick. It was built to be about 30 feet long, and has hapzardly placed logs jutting from every corner and side. It has seen some wear and tear, but is all and all sturdy. In the center of the water (the lake is maybe now 100 x 100 feet long and wide, circular), lies the mysterious stone platform (30 x 30 feet, somewhat of a square). The water doesnt get very deep, with the depths reaching perhaps 30 feet near the stone platform. The surrounding forest is thick, but provides good cover and can be used by the most nimble and natural of pokemon. To the east, however, the trees are reinforced heavily by some unseen force... someone, or something, really doesn't want company over there...

-Rocks available
-Natural grass around the lake
-Water available
-Very overcast night, moon is bright but somewhat dark (no natural -acc drops or anything, but darkness can be used as advantage or RP things)
-Sunny day and sandstorm are not permitted
-mud and dust ring is mainly a thin dust layer, with thick mud underneath.

Eternal Drifter · Dec 3, 2013

On the eastern slopes of the dried out lake sits a small figure. It looks around the abandoned place before letting out a sigh.

At least the Seer's barriers still hold.

Achisuto the Smeargle, Painter of Fate

Our little temple is still hidden from the public for now. It is too soon in the story for people to reach it.

It is, isn't it?

The Smeargle turns its head towards the newcomer that spoke to him, nodding in confrimation as the Eevee approached.

Akurei the Eevee, Unknown of the Stories

Akurei, right? Do you have a place in the stories yet?

The Eevee swung its tale in indifference as it took a seat next to the Smeargle, looking over the lake struck with drought.

Not yet. I think it is to be a messenger, but the stories don't require my presence yet.

You have more training to do before you can fully take part.

Yes. You managed to get prepared in just two fights. I expect to have to train longer. How do the stoires of the world hold?

I am not fully ready for the stories, but I can function well enough. How about we review what's going on? Instead of me reminding you, how about you remind me?

Works for me, I suppose. There's the story in Poketopia, where those with ties to the trainer known as 'The Wanderer' are trying to tie up loose ends, especially after that monster. Sumshadagrene is as hurting with problems as usual.

What was the monster?

The Eevee looked at the lakebed in confusion a moment before answering.

A volcano... bakemeat?

Correct. Next story?

There's 'To Defy the End' starting up, but its too soon to say exactly what happens yet. And any word on that Demon King story?

The progress of the first story will depend on whether those in charge allow people to chase after Walker. If not, they'll have to be more stealthy.

And the Demon King? The forgotten one?

...The Demon Lords and the Demons have to build up enough power before the Demon King arises.

So that could take some time.

Yes. Next tale?

There's the search for the trainer known as 'Glacier Knight'. Considering how long he was around, you'd think more people would have searched for him when he disappeared. But no, only a half dozen set out, and only one of them had any significance to that story.

Whose story crossed momentarily before the Knight disappeared completely?

That would be Walker, right?

Yes. Another story?

There was the hunt for Ghetsis on the Isle of Lost Relics, after he fled Stormrage Mountain. That is a dead story, now. Someone needs to revive it in order for it to be useful.

That will be enough for now. There are other stories to be told, but those are just the big- Wait... what's that over there?

The Smeargle stood up anxiously, tail in hand, as the Eevee calmly remained seated.

Oh, just a couple of trainers and their Pokémon. Unmei wanted you to drive them away before they got too close.

You could have said something earlier.

You didn't ask.

The Wanderer · Dec 3, 2013

What ho, ladies and gentlemen! Fancy meeting you fellows here at Lake Verity! I suppose you're here for another tale?

For those of you chaps not in the know, I am Victor von Groodle, the traveling singularity that shatters continuities and laughs in the face of narrative - ho ho, LAUGHS, I tell you! Today's journey brings me to the Sinnoh region, in a realm known in singularity vernacular as the 'Gemverse.' I've come for laughs and a good old scrap with two trainers, using a pokemon I've borrowed from the 'Wanderverse' - in particular, a Squirtle that I...briefly pilfered from a girl there.

Oh come now, don't look at me like that - Of course I'm going to return him! Victor von Groodle always returns the pokemon he borrows - to do otherwise would make me a scourge upon the collective cosmos like a cancer most foul!

But I babble. The time for tomfoolery has arrived!

What ho there, fellows! Might you be interested in a tussle?

DEAR CHAOS, PLEASE GIVE US TABLES IN FORUMS. SINCERELY, GEM.

EPISODE 1 - The Beginning
Oh, what a flake that ice fellow is! P'raps I might encourage some words of him? Von Groodle thought, as he looked at the mysterious pokemon, whose entire being emanated cold. The trainerless kabuto simply looked back at the hiker-like man, and reared up for he flight-or-flight instinct it had.

Still in her cached state, the woman looked up from her journal to see the characters that she had just wrote about standing visibly in front of her. In shock, she dropped her journal and watched the scene unfold.

Here's something for you to use.

A Focus Sash?

All the other tools avaliable either are ineffective or useless for you. You have no method of dodging, so the powder is not very useful.

Forgive me, but I think I'll keep the powder and trust to the story.

Really? Even if you can't boost such methods to reliable levels?

Might as well put it to use. If I fall out there, I hope you'll go and bring me back to base.

With the powder, you'll fail in getting rid of them. I don't want to drag you back to the temple.

Trust to the story, and you won't have to.

Achisuto used Teleport!

Then, the Smeargle appeared near the entrance of the lake behind a rock, looking on at the interlopers. Bright Powder in hand, it peeked around its rock to view its targets, raising its tail to make the first blow.

These people shouldn't have come here... I need to get rid of them. Achisuto thought.

And with that, the Smeargle did just that. It launched a ball of fire, that it had learned from a dragon, and sent it flying towards Xena.

Achisuto used Dragon rage (xena)! -5 en
Fixed Dmg = 10 (xena = 80 hp)

Without a care as to what the attack consisted of, Xena simply launched a ball of mud at the clear opponent in front of it.

Xena used Mud shot (Percival)! -4 en
6-1.5=4.5 (Percival = 85.5 hp)
percival's speed fell! Percival was covered in mud!

In retaliation, Von Groodle shouted a command to his dearest (borrowed) Squirtle. The pokemon nodded in affirmation, launching a few balls of energy straight at the fossil pokemon.

Percival used Aura Sphere (xena)! -6 en
(8+3-3)*1.5=12 (xena = 68 hp)

______

After the initial attacks had been launched, The smeargle reared up for a second attack on Xena. This time, it called up the ground around the pokemon, making it erupt.

Achisuto used Earth power! (xena)! -7 en
(9-1.5)*1.5=11.25 (xena = 57.75 hp)

Still without a care, Kabuto had a trick up its sleeve to disable an enemy before retreating. It sent out a bone-chilling beam of energy straight to the mud-covered squirtle, freezing the mud and inhibiting the movements of the pokemon.

What ho! Percival, Free yourself! The trainer barked. And with some hot water, it did just that, however the frozen mud weakened the power of the attack

Xena used Ice beam (percival)! -7 en
(9-1.5)*0.67=5.025 (Percival = 80.485 hp)
effectroll: (1/10 = freeze percival, 2-4/10 = freeze mud): 3 freeze mud
Percival was trapped in a cocoon of mud! It must be broken to escape!

Percival used Scald (Xena)! -5 en
5+3=11 (xena = 49.75 hp)
Percival was melted out of the ice!

_____

Achisuto, seeing an opportunity to quickly flee from the battle, used teleport to travel to the nearby Bibarel dam that was barely floating in the water.

Achisuto used teleport (evasive)! -7 en
Smeargle teleported onto the bibarel dam!

Getting the same idea, Xena decided to simply hide in the water nearby to avoid the relentless assault coming from the two attackers. However, this was no match for the squirtle, as it seeked out the essence of the Kabuto itself and found Xena despite the attempts to camouflage itself.

Xena went into the water to hide! -4 en
evasion +1

Percival used Aura Sphere (xena)! -6 en
(8+3-3)*1.5=12 (xena = 37.75 hp)

The woman who had been hiding herself finally revealed herself, running to get a closer view of the action. And with that improved view, she quickly saw that by the bibarel dam, there was a herd of Bibarel quickly approaching to defend their territory. They seemed intent to take down the Smeargle who had recently teleported atop their home, and they seemed to have some items that they had recently obtained from the nearby forest.

The kabuto frantically looked around through it's peering red eyes. It seemed like it was afraid of (or for) something.

....They're gone. They're gone they're gone they're gone they're gone. It thought. He's gone. He's gone and the shadows are looking for us. For us for us for us. For me.

In that frenzied state, panic set in.

Hide hide hide hide. Get stronger. Hide in mud. Squirtle? Smeargle? Hide. Freeze and hide. Get stronger now.

EPISODE 2 - Intensifying
Now in plain vision of the Battlers, the woman continued towards the center of the fight. Quickly, she clambered atop a large boulder to see what exactly was happening. With her new view of the Smeargle and the Bibarel dam, she saw the inbound struggle between the two parties. Achisuto looked at the Bibarel approaching him from lower in the dam, and sighed.

Angering the natives... great. it thought.

The Smeargle looked at the three of them, watching as one of the interlopers to the lake ordered a sphere of something sent after after the Kabuto.

If I teleport again too soon, I'll likely get lost. Might as well learn about these intruders. I'll just have to trust to the story to not get hit.
...Assuming it doesn't mind me tempting it. This powder better work!
The pack of Bibarel was getting ever closer to the poor Smeargle, attempting to take it down. The mystical powder did work, and saved the Smeargle from taking too much damage, but a slam on the tail made Achisuto yelp out of pain.

Smeargle used sketch (squirtle)! -5 EN
AURA SPHERE GET (8 sketches left)

The Bibarel used take down! (energy not important, they will chill it off later)

recoil damage: Bibarel 1 (96.625 HP) Bibarel 2 (95.875 HP)

During that encounter, Von Groodle and "his" Squirtle were locked in battle with the lone Kabuto.

"Ho ho, come now, you ragamuffin! Surely you can humor old von Groodle in a good scrap now, can't you?" Groodle called out. The Kabuto seemed to withdraw into its own mind, and it formulated a plan. While the plan was in the works, Percival went into the water for an attack. As it spun towards Xena in its shell, it took a wave of mud to the face. However, It shook off the mud as it spinned, and successfully trapped Xena in a little whirlpool of water.

Xena used Mud shot (Percival)! -4 en

With the Bibarel gang breathing down his throat, Achisuto prepared to made a quick exit to avoid further damage. However, it noticed the spinning move done by the Squirtle and decided to copy that.

Achisuto used sketch! (-9 EN)
RAPID SPIN GET! (7 sketches left)

The Bibarel seemed like they were ready to attack, but instead they prepared to trap the Smeargle by surrounding it.

The Bibarel chilled! + 12 en

Xena's plan was coming full circle. It prepared its sneaky trick to pull in order to divert attention from herself. As the water squirt from squirtle came in to do a little more damage to the squirtle,

Xena readied Play Dead! -15 EN

Xena is playing dead!

Just as the Kabuto was playing dead, The bibarel reared for an attack. Simotaneously, they all prepared for an attack, but as they barely missed their target as he dissappeared in a flash.

Achisuto used Teleport (evasive) -7 EN

Instead of pursuing, they decided to retreat back to their den. However, a wild blast of energy from percival had struck their home, blowing away their home.

The Bibarel derped around! -DERP DERP DERP DERP EN
Percival used aura sphere -6 EN
The Bibarel dam exploded! The explosion damaged the surrounding area!
-10 HP bibarel 1-3 Bibarel 1 (86.625 HP) Bibarel 2 (85.875 HP) Bibarel 3 (80 HP)

-1 HP (Xena=23)

The explosion clearly angered the bibarel, and they dont seem happy at all. However, it seems like they were hiding something in their dam... something is in there. Noone can really make it out from a distance, but there is clearly something there. The Woman ran towards it, in an attempt to pick it up.

There's writing on this tablet, I can't quite make it out. She read.

The writing said:
وقد و...عيش في بلدة قريبة، و... ... الى الذهاب ال...تمكن من جني قدراته.

At the same time of the Journalist's findings, Achisuto noticed the Girl's own notebook. Maybe there can be something of use inside of it.

EPISODE 3: The Head Honcho
The Girl seemed to know that danger was imminent. Instinctively, She called out her Gardevoir.

:: Julia, What do you need? :: The pokemon called out.

"Nothing now, Casetette. I'm just getting a little weary. I feel as if something... dangerous is on the way here." she replied.

:: Dont worry, I'll protect you. :: Casetette said. It had little comfort to it, as the trainer felt no better.
*****

The Smeargle gently held its tail in one hand, looking at the Aura Sphere of the Squirtle flying at the Bibarel Dam. The Smeargle flinched at the sight of the sphere impacting the dam, sending wood flying everywhere.

There go any relations we might have gotten with the Bibarels... Wait... is that...
At this point, Achisuto sees the woman hurrying over to the Bibarel Dam rubble, pulling out a tablet from the Dam.

...You're kidding me... another uninvited guest... This is going to be a very long night...

The Smeargle decided that it would be best to stand back and wait this round out. He wanted to see if everything would follow the story as written, or if he would need to intervene more.

Achisuto chilled! +12 EN
Sighing, Achisuto fell to his knees, gathering his breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a notebook laying on the ground, dropped by the woman a minute earlier.

What's this?

*****

As the Kabuto that had been using deception earlier had dissappeared, Percival and Von groodle changed their sights to the Bibarel horde. Maybe they thought it was hunting season, maybe they were in the mood for some good sport.

Oh ho, it seems there was a tablet of some sort in that dam. What might that text be? A bit of Arabic, I'd wager?

Alas, my tongues of the middle east are a tad rusty...perhaps if old Ben from the wanderverse were around, he might be able to give me a translation...although I doubt that, ho ho! The poor chap hasn't quite forgiven me for the shenanigans I brought around the last time! Such a poor sport, really...that motorbike of his was still intact...

But I babble. It appears kaputting the Kabuto has led to some angry Bibarels. Shall we give them a good tussle?

Definitely looking for some good sport. Anyways, the pseudo-trainer WHO KEEPS BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL ordered the Squirtle to send the ball of energy towards the horde, making contact with one of them. However, before this they had all gotten quite worked up by the destruction and invasion of their home.

The Bibarel used work up!
Their attack and special attack rose one stage!

Percival used Aura Sphere (Bibarel 1)! -10 en

Achisuto wandered over to the book, picking it up, but also keeping an eye on the conflict between the horde and the Squirtle.

Achisuto picked up the book and began to read through it!

*****

The Bibarel began the long trudge across the lake, charging towards the lone Squirtle. They clearly wanted blood... or whatever it is that Squirtle have.

The Bibarel moved quickly, but the one Bibarel who had been hit earlier was lagging behind a bit. Groodle and Percival shared a wordless glance, and they targeted that Bibarel.

The bibarel moved towards Percival!

Percival used Dragon Pulse (Bibarel 1)! -7 EM
9+3-1.5=10.5 dmg (bibarel 1 = 61.5 HP

Achisuto began to fervently read the diary, shutting out all other distractions.

Journal said:
March 16, 20XX
I can't sleep at night. Every time I go to sleep, There is a forboding feeling coming over me. It seems like the only way to get rest is for Casetette to use hypnosis on me, that way I get some sleep. I know not what torments me, but I can't deal with this anymore.

. . .

May 6, 20XX
Gardevoir still watches out for me at night. Together, we have discovered who the tormenter is.

The smeargle sighed, as it didnt find what it wanted at all. It wanted to know more information about the lake, and not all this... nightmare stuff.

***

Percival paid no attention to the revelaions of Achisuto, as it continued to be locked in battle with the Bibarel. The weak Bibarel was right there in its grasp, and killing it would be easy from here. However, it needed to create a diversion fast. It quickly jumped in the air, and launched a beam of ice into the water, freezing the surface of the water over. Squirtle was light enough that it could walk over the ice and not break it. It continued to run to dry land after it froze the lake over.

Squirtle used ice beam (lake) ! -15 EN
The lake was frozen solid! It is not traversable by heavier pokemon!

But the bibarel were now the least of Squirtle's worries. An ominous cloud had settled over the lake.

:: Julia, get back! It... It's HIM! :: the Gardevoir shouted mentally.

The woman's face quickly became veiled in terror. "Protect me, Casetette! Throw up a shield!" the trainer shouted. The gardevoir did just that. It channeled its inner abilities and threw up a great defensive barrier to shield its trainer.

Gardevoir used Reflect + light screen! (energy irrelevant)
Gardevoir was protected by a mystical barrier!

Just then, thunder started raining from the skies. An eerie howl could be heard from the distance. A portal seemed to open up, and out stepped a pokemon. The pokemon had a sense of disorder and chaos about it.

JuLiA! I'v3 cOmE fOr YoU! It screamed. It then dashed at an extremely fast speed, opening a portal behind the trainer. But, before it reached its target, It ran into the one sworn to protect the trainer, merging their two beings into one.

"Run, Master! I can only control him for -- No! YoU'vE RuInEd EvErYtHiNG!" it screamed in agony. "Julia, Watch ou--PrEpArE To DiE!"

but as a last ditch effort, The woman yelled out in anger, agony, loss, and revenge. It's as if she opened a power inside of herself, healing the combatants in the fight and revitalizing their will to fight.

Julia used ???
all combatants were fully healed!
Julia fainted from exhaustion!

Achisuto and Von Groodle and Percival all locked eyes. They had to stop this creature, somehow.

EPISODE 4: Quite Unexpected
The Smeargle's eyes open wide at the monster formed from the Gardevoir, before bringing a paw to his face in regret.

There goes low key. I really didn't want to have to do this... At least with the diary, it all might be blamed on Darkrai.

With that, the Smeargle grips it's tail again to begin to fight in earnest, with one goal in mind, given by those with more power than him among the Agents of Fate in case things spiraled out of control like they did here. Akurei knew it. Unmei knew it. Other Agents knew it. It was damage control, but with the chaos of the battle, the temple would be revealed soon. The goal was meant to buy time, even if Achisuto hated it (unlike some of the other Agents, who simply didn't care). It was the goal of last resort:

Kill. All. Witnesses.

*****

Castette let out a blood curling scream, one that would put those of Exploud to shame.

"Ki1L tH3m AlL! NoNe ShAll SuRv!v--Don't make me do this, you fiend! I'm sw--QuIeT, mY sL@vE! I rU|E Th1s PlA(e!"

It then raised its arms, Releasing a void of darkness beneath the foes. Slowly, the fighters began to fall asleep.

"Hang in there, Percival my boy!" Von Groodle shouted. The squirtle seemed to understand, and it protected itself against the dark powers. Achisuto, also trying to resist the dark powers, decided to teleport away from the spot of the void, teleporting itself to the spot of the unconcious woman.

Percival used protect! -7 en
Percival protected itself!

Achisuto used teleport (evasive)! -7 en

Castette used Dark Void!
But it missed! #SadGardevrai

_____

Out of the corner of her eye, Castette saw the smeargle standing by her treasure.

"He W@NtS t0 KiLl WhAt I n3eD,"
The Darkrai in her said. Quickly thinking, She let loose a wave of psychic energy, to try and ward off the attacker.

Castette used psychic (Achisuto)!
Hitroll |9000| 2847 hit
Critroll |625| 9482 no
10+3+6=19 dmg (achisuto total = 71 HP)
Effectroll |1000| 5136 no

But the attack did nothing to stop Achisuto. He looked down at the woman whom he had teleported to. Regretfully, he looked at her face, as she was about to die. However, she woke up with a start. Her eyes looked at The smeargle, realizing its intention. A lone tear left her eye, streaming down her cheek.

"Please, I need to live," she whispered. The smeargle said nothing in reply, shaking it's head. The woman let out a sigh, tensing her muscles for the final blow. Achisuto raised its tail and dropped it, unleashing his attack on the woman.

Julia used endure!
(I can't have her die for real, guys. she's me, i mean really 9.9)

Achisuto used guillotine! -15 en
Hitroll |point blank, I ain't gonna roll that| 90000000 hit
Julia became unconscious (looks dead, but isn't. She won't be acting again.)

On the brink of death, she was able to save herself. However, the woman won't be able to move at all for a while.

*****

Siding across the icy lake, Percival lobbed a ball of energy straight towards the Gardevrai, although it almost fell over in the process of firing. It hit the Gardevrai, seemingly in a weak spot. Castette roared in pain, and set its sights on the sliding pokemon.

Percival used Aura sphere! -6 en
critroll |625| 107 yes
8*.5+3-4.5=2.5 dmg (total =97.5)

_____

Turning its sights back to the main attraction, Achisuto leapt towards the Gardevrai, hitting it and dashing right off of it. Dismayed, but still focused on Squirtle, Castette paid no attention to the Smeargle who had landed right next to the (almost) deceased woman. Directly after Smeargle's attack, Percival skidded to a stop and

Achisuto used u-turn -5 en
critroll |625| 6262 no

Percival used Dragon pulse -7 en
critroll |625| 9204 no
9*.5-4.5=1 dmg (total =94.5)

Castette floated back, away from the two assailants. It stopped, and thought in advance, preparing a trap for later. This trap seemed to be a telekinetic one, but with something... odd about it.

Castette used dazzling gleam + future sight!
Castette foresaw an attack!

And just like that, out of nowhere, it started to rain, making the ground a little muddy. The mud seems to slow any non water/ground types, but things with levitate and flying mons can just avoid it.

EPISODE 5: Swarms!
Castette cackled with laughter, the havoc about to come to the battlers on her mind. There was nothing that they could do, other than try to endure the attack she had wrought. Achisuto looked at the Gardevrai in horror, watching as it created an attack that could very well inflict too much damage for him to recover from. Even worse for him, it started to rain. Percival, however, seemed to find newfound stregnth in the rainy and muddy terrain. But the two of them together had a plan for this attack. They knew that Castette would not be able to evade them this round, so they went for the all-in attack.

Castette cooled down!

Achisuto struck first. Directly mimicking a strategy from earlier in the battle, he aimed a beam of ice at the Gardevrai's feet. And due to the already muddy conditions, the plan worked to a much higher degree of success than the previous one.

Achisuto used Ice beam (Castette)! -7 en
critroll |625| 7526 no
4.5-6=1 Dmg (94 HP total)
effectroll: |1/10 = freeze Castette, 2-4/10 = freeze mud| 1 freeze
Castette was frozen! frz counter = 2

Percival, now lined up with an easier attack, had been loaded and ready to go, charging up an aura sphere and launching it towards the frozen abomination. The attack hit Castette, damaging it slightly more than it had previously taken.

Percival used Aura Sphere! -6 en
Critroll |625| 948 no
8*.5-4.5=1 dmg (93 HP total)

Castette was frozen solid, but still aware of the surroundings. And she knew that her time had come for an attack to reach the two agressors.

"LeT's Se3 hOw YoU lIkE tH@t!" It called out, as a blinding gleam of light synchronized with a telekinetic attack shook the minds of the challengers. As the attack hit, Castette began cackling again, prepared to do more damage.

Combo damage!
Critroll |625| 6175, 1515 no, no
Vs. Achisuto (8+12)+3+6=29 dmg (total 42)
Vs. Percival (8+12)+3+3=26 dmg (total 64)

But the good news is, Castette's light screens finally wore off, allowing the Battlers a greater chance of dealing damage.
_____

And Damage they would deal. Castette, locked in place by her frozen status, did nothing but twiddle her thumbs in her head, as she could not move.

Castette was frozen solid!
Frz counter =1

Achisuto, keen of the fact that the enemy was frozen, decided that now would be the time to go for a full power attack. And luckily, with the ice holding Castette in place, The move had a greater accuracy than it would normally.

Achisuto used guillotine! -15 en
Hitroll |7000| 6133 hits
Critroll |625| 9102 no
25+3-6=22 dmg (total 72 HP)

Percival, smart enough to take advantage of the situation, decides to slam himself into the stationary body of Castette, knocking it back, and sending it into a pile of rocks, close to some trees.

Percival used rapid spin! -6 en
critroll |625| 805 no
4+3-6=1 dmg (total, 71 HP)
_____

Castette was now knocked up against some trees, slightly dazed, but frozen nonetheless. however, Castette was unfrozen now, and she glared at each of the two combattants in battle. Achisuto returned that glare with a snarl of his own.

Achisuto used snarl! -5 en
hitroll |9500| 1020 hit
critroll |625| 1535, 9671, lol von groodle (no no no)
VS Castette: 6-7.5=1 dmg
VS Percival: 6-4.5=1.5 dmg
VS Von Groodle: lol damage
Percival, Castette, and Von Groode SpA down 1

Percival, slightly rattled by the snarl, decided to attack the gardevrai, regardless of the snarl. However, it did not do much damage to the pokemon.

Percival used Aura Sphere! -6 en
Critroll |625| 948 no
8-4.5-2=1.5 dmg (69.5 HP total)

Gardevrai, taken aback by the sheer guts that these pokemon had to attack her, roared in anger.

"I wOuLd TaKe YoU 0n At @ DiFfErEnT TiM3, BuT i'M AfRaId ThAt I MuSt DeFeAt YoU NoW! MiNiOnS!"

And just like that, they appeared. Scores of gastly flew through a portal that had been opened up in the middle of the fight. it seemed that there would never be an end to them. They darted around, defending each and every attack, like combee guarding a vespiquen. It seems that they will go and bodyblock every attack that comes towards Castette. It looked like some of the damage made it through to . however, some of the gastly made a noise that pierced the ears of every single mon. The song just made them want to perish, like they had nothing else to live for.

Gastly used Deathwish (perish song combo)!
All pokemon's perish counts fell to 2!
The perish song cannot be removed!

Castette just laughed, and then grabbed the body of the fallen writer. As she was about to teleport away, a bolt of light appeared, taking down the Gardevrai.

??? used Light Slash!
Damage=15 (total HP = 54.5)
Gardevrai was crippled! -2 Def and SDef

"I'll be taking her. I think that you can try to survive against these guys, but you won't be able to! I'll come back once I can, and save you. Just hold on!"

Just like that, the trainer disappeared. However, he gave the combatants more of a chance to survive the oncoming onslaught of gastly and Gardevrai by refilling their energy. but the question is, will they survive?

EPISODE 6: The Confrence
The mysterious man, now revealed to be one of the Gym leaders of this world, entered the room, with an unconcious woman slung over his shoulder, and a somber look on his face.

"We're gonna need some help in in there guys." was what the trainer said. He stood in the center of the room, where others were also sitting, trying to deal with the Darkrai-fusing-with-pokemon-then-kidnapping-people-and-summoning-hordes-of-licky-ghosts situation.

"Well, I don't know what we can do. If we sit around and do nothing, what'll happen to us? We'll be frowned upon, and we'll lose most of our credibility," Replied one of the seated leaders. "However, if we engage in battle, how do we know we can take them all on? What is stopping the creature from artificially augmenting its power, and ending our lives?"

"But this is a foe that we must take on!" one of them said angrily. "If we let these people be, then what are we to do?" His fervor was bursting through his words, as he really believed that everyone should be helped. At his speaking, several of the other leaders nodded and murmured in approval. However, there was one leader in particular who voiced his disgust.

"Why should we do this? It is no use, dealing with powers outside of our control. Besides, This entire situation seems... suspicious. I smell the work of Itsumo in this realm." The other leaders all became quiet. Itsumo! He couldn't be a part of this. It just doesnt make sense!

...

As the leaders continued their discussion on how they could possibly help the combatants, the combatants themselves were bust trying to fend off the assault until aid (potentially) came. Castette began by preparing another one of her future doom combos, but this time something was ... off about it.

Castette used Future Doom! (dazzling gleam + future sight)
A gastly added itself to the combo! The combo gained power!

Percival and Achisuto stood there, with the entire dark world seemingly against them. Simotaneously, they went for attacks on the Boss, trying to take it down as fast as they could.

Achisuto used Dragon rage (castette)!
fixed damage = 5 dmg (a gastly took 5 damage.) (48 total)

Percival used Scald (Castette)!
Critroll |625| 7733 no
(8+3-3)+4=7 dmg (41 total)

Suddenly, Achisuto froze.

Glancing at the eastern shore, he had seen two new shapes as he sensed something break.

Unmei had shattered the barrier as she had returned.

And crouched next to her was... Walker, the missing trainer.

Achisuto gripped his tail. It was time to prepare for the final assault. No longer was he meant to buy time by killing all witnesses. Instead, he needed to leave one, and only one, concious to bring word back. Now, he needed to draw all the attention here to draw the power of the story here.
_____

"This does have Itsumo written all over it. Think it through, gentlemen. All we need to do here, is rescue the combatants and get out, before that demon destroys the area."

"That sounds like a plan. I'll lead the charge, and we'll give that twisted spiritomb hell!"

...

Before the Leaders could even attempt to make their way over to the battle site, Achisuto had made up its mind. It was time to eliminate the extraneous. And with that, it turned to Percival, and Von Groodle, and gave them a wry smile.

The smeargle moved with unrivaled speed, faking out the poor unsuspecting squirtle.

Achisuto used fake out (percival)! -3 EN
(4+3-4.5)=2.5 dmg (59.5 total)
Percival flinched!

Not knowing what to do, the squirtle just stood there, dazed. After hearing an encouraging word from his trainer, he shook himself out of it, but still retained some of the cluelessness. However, it was time for a descisive strike from the gastly army. Grouping up, a few made their flight in, tormenting both challengers. then, lone gastly went in for the suicide attacks on the pokemon.

A gastly used torment (Percival & Achisuto)
BOTH WERE TORMENTED

A gastly used explosion (Percival)
critroll: 1571 no
25+3=27 (32.5 total)

A gastly used explosion (Achisuto)
Critroll: 7955 no
25+1.5=26.5 (20.5 total)
_____

"Remind me why this is happening. We all still haven't decided that we all are in fact going."

"Well, Where are we now?"

"We're all riding our pokemon, on the way to... oh you're good."

...

With the two combatants tormented, there is nothing that they could do. they both stood there, with angered expressions on their faces, enraged about how that gastly treated them. They did their best to continue their attacks, but it was to no avail.

Percival and Achisuto could not move due to torment!

Castette cackled again. The agressors were now turning on each other, and she now had full reign to do what she wanted with the girl. Better to start the extraction process now, she thought. And with that, she began the process of searching for her lost treasure.

Castette looked for a source of energy!

However, she found no source anywhere near. She ordered the gastly to stand down for a second, and to conserve themselves in case of an attack. Which was coming very soon...

EPISODE 7: The End?
The cavalry had arrived. Each gym leader, with a fire in their eyes, came out to defend their homeland from the aggressor. One at a time, they sent out their signature mon, to take on the common enemy. Standing there, the trainers began calling out orders to each other, and gearing up for the attack to end the Gardevrai. then, 13 attacks were released. Each one packed power that only a hardened veteran would know of, and the moves brought a dazzling display of stregnth.

However, the Gardevrai still stood. Cackling, she ordered swarms of gastly to constantly suicide themselves by the attackers. And that they did. Out of the rift in the center of the field, gastly were sent to attack man and pokemon alike.
...

During the confusion of the prior attack, Percival looked at Achisuto, betrayal evident in its eyes. Percival went straight for Achisuto, sending a pulse of draconic energy at the traitor.

Percival used dragon pulse!

Achisuto saw the signs. The doom was about to arrive, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Do it, came Unmei's voice. I'll finish off the remainder if they withstand it.

There were nights when Achisuto questioned whether it was worth it to be an Agent of Fate. The more he worked with the Seer of Fate, the Natu, the more he got glimpses of the lengths she would go to have things go her way. At the least she was better than the Demons...

Grimacing, Achisuto recalled two of the techniques one of the followers of the Demons used. The Smeargle was too annoyed to pull off the more powerful version of it, but he would be able to pull off a lesser version...

In the center of the island, the gym leaders were locked into combat with the gastly swarm that attacked them. They could not do anything to stop their doom.

Percival and von groodle stood to the right of Achisuto, their faces drooping in saddness as they faced their inevitable doom.

On the eastern shore, the Eevee quickly herded the missing trainer into the woods, towards the temple. There was no point in them getting caught in the crossfire...

...at least the Gastly wouldn't be able to interfere with this.

Achisudo used Crater creaton! (selfdestruct + explosion) -61.25 en
45*.75=33.75 BAP
to squirtle: 33.75-3=30.75
to castette: 33.75-4.5+6=35.25

Surviving the sudden blast, Percival looked straight at castette. And it geared up for its final attack, to end the game right there.

But then, aen erie sound pierced the area, followed by a black and purple flash of light. Future sight hit.

Castette's future sight hit!
-enough HP percival.
Percival fainted!

With Castette sitting there, cackling, it instantly teleported away. Where did it go? We know not.

The chaos was suddenly silenced by a large explosion.

Not quite as planned, but it will work. Such chaos and destruction will bring attention on this area, and such attention here will now advance the story as I have foreseen... After all, the story is the only thing that matters...

With those words, the Natu teleported into the crater, grabbed the tail of the fainted Smeargle, and then teleported away with her ally...

...Just what story is the Natu trying to bring about?

To Gem:
Well done with the Lake Battle. It could have gone smoother, yes, but for a first time completing something this large, you did well. Keep practicing, find your 'sweet spot' with it, and work on increasing your update speed. Might I suggest keeping a focus on the battle and not 'external' events like the large meeting of trainers?

To Wanderer:
Interesting battle. Thank you for helping with Achisuto's movepool, and keeping up with this until the end. May the next chapter of our stories echo strongly!
