Pokemon, the Olene Island Challenge! [PG16 -IC - Started/Always Accepting via OOC]

[Altαir]

[color=#808080][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=3]Brandon couldn’t help but admire the incessant view of the desert. As if by some trick of divinity, he had waltzed into the desert, completely oblivious to the change of scenery, and sauntered from the mystic greenery of last route to the majesty of the unyielding desert. There was nothing to not admire in this beautiful desert. So much power. So many secrets.

The Swablu trailing behind Brandon, for the first time in a while, had different thoughts. The desert was hot, boring, and most of all, [i]annoying.[/i] What majesty was there in that? The Swablu knew it – the desert was the one place where the Lord, Arceus, had not touched.

“Swablu,” Brandon uttered under his breath, after stopping short in his walk. The Swablu trailing behind him knocked into his legs and fell on her back, and a period of silence fell on the two. Then Brandon fell back, onto his backside. The sand softened the fall, and Brandon was left staring at the sky, his arms spread out. Swablu was curious as to why Brandon fell. He wasn’t sick or hurt…

“Swablu, listen.” Brandon finally spoke again. “Written all over your face is despise for this land. I can understand. Deep down, inside, I don’t like the desert. I… lost something here. We all don’t like things. But we must understand that everything was created by the Original One and should be loved as we love him. Let us hide what makes us real, and give out what makes us imaginary. Then we can get closer to God, you know?” Brandon sighed. He had to stop giving speeches.

Brandon then looked at the sky. It would have been colored blue if it wasn’t Brandon. Most people don’t recognize that slight difference between the sky, and what [i]seems[/i] like the sky. It was colder, dryer, and thinner. Lighter. Brandon remembered a bit of information which was relayed to him during some of his studies. There is a collection of lighter gases, such as helium, above the regular atmosphere in which we breathe. Brandon could feel it now… a sensation that told him something even higher than the sky itself was calling to him.

A gust of warm wind blew over the desert, as Brandon gasped for air. And the desert continued on, as if nothing happened.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#800080]"Yeah, you can join us little one, as long as you don't steal Yamada, ok?"[/color] - Leon sighed as Yamada caught the small lizard Pokemon - [color=#800080]"You have 3 Pokemon, one of them is a shiny. I'm falling behind..."[/color] - Leon also saved Dino into his Pokeball, to stop it from running away - [color=#800080]"That girl with the Raichu? If they are here for Regice, we must protect him!"[/color] - Yamada placed her hand on Regice's body, and Leon did the same. A light was getting closer and closer, until it turned around the corner: the light came from the electricity of a rat Pokemon with sunglasses, followed by a girl with matching ones. - [color=#800080]"I-It's you! That girl from Legenew...w-what do you want here!?"[/color]

[ListenToLife]

Aaron sighed as he realised he'd been quite greedy and inconsiderate, forgetting he had already eaten by the time the other joined him. "Oh, sorry. Go ahead." Aaron smiled, gesturing to the menu in the middle of the table. He then opened his wallet and pulled out a large amount of Pokédollars. "I'll pay, so buy what you want." He chuckled, placing the money in the centre of the table.
When Edward asked about a map, Aaron pulled out a large, thin, touch screen poképhone, and opened it up to the map app. "There you go. Olene Island, on a phone."

He watched patiently as Al and Ed ate, and when they finished, he paid the waiter much more than he had to, and they left. They spent quite a few hours down the next road, Aaron kind of falling behind as he looked around the environment, stricken with awe at the new region, fascinated with every little detail. He almost dragged them behind, but eventually, according to Aaron's Poképhone, they approached Desec town, the town nearest to the Trigi Shrine.
Looking around, he realised that the place was rather deserted, and a few scorch marks here and there meant that something had happened. "Guys. Something's wrong." Aaron said, a serious expression coming over his face as he looked in the direction of Trigi shrine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

V arrived at the shrine rather quickly, covering the few miles in minutes. As his Salamence hit the ground, small tremors shook through the earth around the shrine, though Salamence's massive weight disappeared as V hit the ground, one of his customized Poké balls in his hand, absorbing the Salamence. "X." V said, walking towards his boss. At the same time, Water emerged from the forest, followed by Air and her Noctowl. She grinned and skipped towards V, who shook his head. Without saying anything, a sad expression came over her face and she turned back to her Noctowl, flying away. Water looked back and shrugged before turning back to V and nodding, as well as bowing before X.

[AkatsukiPride!]

Archer sighed. "C'mon, Trapinch. I don't think your gonna get through this." Pit had been hacking at the wall for a bit, but he hadn't gotten anywhere. "I guess those two are alone, then." [color=#ff8c00][b]Archer, find me! [/b][/color]There it was again. That weird voice. "Sure, whoever you are. But stay out of my head," Archer yelled. "Lets see, which way?" He turned and walked in the direction in which he believed that the voice was coming from. "Soldier, Pit, follow me." Trapinch and Absol walked off in the same direction, each one on the opposite side of Archer. Then Absol started to growl. "What is it, boy?" Archer then remembered something about Absols. "You sense danger, don't you?" Absol nodded. "Well, lets see whats going on." The group walked off.

~~~

Archer had walked all the way to a small pedestal somewhere within the labyrinth of the shrine. "What do you expect goes here?" Trapinch cocked his head to the side. "Pinch?" he asked. [color=#ff8c00][b]Hi! [/b][/color]Archer looked up and saw a small, red and cream-colored mouse-like creature floating above the pedestal. "Who are you?" [color=#ff8c00][b]I'm Victini! The Victory Pokemon! [/b][/color]"What goes here?" [color=#ff8c00][b]Me! This pedestal is my bed. Ya know, when I take trips to Trigi Shrine. [/b][/color]Archer smiled. "Nice, I guess. So, you're a legendary pokemon?" Victini nodded. "And you're telepathic?" Again, he nodded. "Cool. Why did you want me to find you?" [color=#ff8c00][b]Two reasons; One, I like you. I saw you battle that woman at Legnew. Two, danger approaches. That woman is not alone. And her and her team are here!" [/b][/color]Archer shivered. "Oh. Well, then we better find them and stop whatever they're up to!" Archer ran off, followed by Absol, Trapinch, and Victini.

W walked away from K as she trekked into the shrine, and then he decided to look somewhere else. He walked down a separate hallway, looking for anything that would prove interesting: Cave paintings, statues, inscriptions, prophecies, artifacts, rare pokemon, and that whatnot. As he walked through the path, he decided to let Froslass and Rotom out. He took their pokeballs and released them. "I needed some company," he said. Rotom had scary grin, and Froslass stood with her arms crossed. "Follow," he said. The two came after him. As he walked casually down the path, he came across a cave. He walked inside to inspect it, and saw a long, dark tunnel at the backside of it. He walked in slowly, followed by his two pokemon, into the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was an incredibly large room, well lighted, with other tunnels leading into it. At the back of the room was a large, inanimate pokemon, obviously resting. In inside an indent in he wall behind it was a strange yellow stone. "My lord," W whispered. "Regirock [i]and [/i]the Griseous Orb? Well, this is my lucky day." He walked up to Regirock to examine him and the orb. "Looks like I beat K to it," he said, removing the stone from the wall. As he did so, Regirock creaked, and a thin layer of grey stone broke off of him, and Regirock began to move, ready to defend it's chamber.

[Pichu]

K laughed. "I want that damned Regice!" Raichu also laughed, as if he was mocking her. Yamada stood in front of Regice. Charmander then stood in front of her. "No!" Yamada yelled. "I won't let Regice go without a fight!" K laughed. "You think you can defeat my team? You're mistaken!" K said. Raichu laughed. "I would use Raichu to kill you, but I'll give you two horney teens a fighting chance." K pulled out two micro-sized Pokeballs. She pressed the buttons in the middle and they grew to normal size. "Clefable, Roserade! Let's go!" K tossed the two Pokeballs and her Clefable and Roserade appeared. Yamada pulled out her Pokedex.

[i]"Clefable, an advanced form of Clefairy. These unique creatures are among the rarest Pokémon in the world. Roserade, the Bouquet Pokémon. Roserade is the evolved form of Roselia. It lures enemies with its sweet aroma, and attacks with dancer-like elegance."[/i]

Yamada pointed. "Charmander, let's test you out!" she yelled. Charmander blew fire into the air. "Roserade is a grass type, so Charmander can take her down!"

[Medivh]

"Ow..." muttered Caldus as he and Zekrom flew over miles of desert.
[i][b]I told you to hold on, [/b][/i]the Legendary Pokemon said.
"Whatever. Where are we going, anyway?"
[i][b]The Legendary Golem Shrine. [/b][/i]
"Legendary Golem..."
Zekrom sighed. [i][b]Tigri Shrine.[/b][/i]
"Oh! That! Uhm, if there's gonna be danger there, can we at least stop and heal Druggion first?"
[i][b]I did. [/b][/i]
"O.K, then," Caldus said. "Don't really see how that works, but whatever."

[center]***[/center]

[left]Eventually, they flew above a shrine with a monument showing humans and Pokemon fighting together and a statue of a goddess Helicopters littered the sky below Caldus and Zekrom. [/left]
[left][b][i]Let's crash this party, [/i][/b]Zekrom said, and flew down, tail glowing and rotating like a turbine, covering the Legendary Pokemon in lightning, but it careful enough to ignore it's neck, where Caldus was sitting. It continued to dive, slamming into the ground in the middle of a group of Genesis Soldiers.[/left]

[Asriel Dreemurr]

As they entered into Desec town, Edward immediately new something was wrong because of the large number of scorch marks on the ground and the lack of anyone present. Instinctively, he drew the solid black sword which he carried and began searching around for any sign of what could have caused such a thing to happen.

"Something's wrong in a big way..." He stated as Ralts ducked behind his legs and looked around nervously. It was then that he noticed the rapid approach of a man riding an immense black dragon which passed overhead too quickly for them to stop. "Zekrom...I never thought I'd see it." Without another word, he picked up Ralts with both arms, sheathing his blade first of course, and began sprinting off in the direction of the shrine.

[Piercer of the Heavens]

"You guys are right, but what could have happened here." Allegretto said. The scroch marks were frightening Buneary, it was easy to tell since its grip got tighter. "Don't worry Buneary, it's not like we are staying here, only passing through." Allegretto picked up Buneary and started to craddle it like a baby. "Just calm down buneary." Buneary's ears started to curl, but then one jolted up. She then leaped off Allegretto's arms and started hopping toward a building. "Buneary!" Allegretto screamed. "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up after I get Buneary back." With that Allegretto took off after Buneary.

"Here Buneary, come on. Please Buneary come out." Allegretto said repeating the sam phrase over and over. "Where did you go." he mumbled. "Bun bun" Buneary said as it came out of a scroched building. "There you are." Allegretto said running toward Buneary. Before he even reach Buneary, she ran back into the building. "Buneary come back!" He went into the building, he looked around only to se eBuneary going upstairs. He chased it up there and then saw Buneary go into a room. "Finally." Allegretto said relieved, knowing that a room means that Buneary can't keep going. He went into the room only to see that half the roof was collapsed. Buneary stood near the pile of rubble pointing toward it. "What is it Buneary. Something in there." At that moment a really faint cry was heard. Then it got louder. "There is something there." he said pulling some of the debri off. Slowly the cry was getting louder and louder. "Don't worry, we are almost there." It took a while, but after enough hard work he managed to see what was under the rubble. It was a vulpix, by the looks of it it had hurt its leg.

Allegretto reached into the rubble to pull out the Vulpix. "Wonder what happened." Allegretto said to himself. "Don't worry, I'll get you some help. He took of his backpack and sprayed the wound on Vulpix's leg, it stung but made it feel better. It was still to hurt to walk, but at least now it will survive. "So Vulpix" Allegretto said. "You actually very pretty, and strong to if you were stuck in there and still managed to call for help. How about you join my team." Vulpix nodded and then put its nose on a pokeball. It was quickly absorbed into it. "Alright Buneary, time to go to the shrine.

Allegretto ran as fast as he could to make up for lost time. Edward and Aaron were just arriving when he got therre, so it didn't seem like was left behind. "Sorry, but I'm here." he said panting

Aaron watched with a mixture of awe, bewilderment and fear - a combination many of his foes had felt while battling him - as Edward unsheathed a large black blade, one Aaron hadn't spotted before. [i]I really am getting old, aren't I.[/i] Aaron berated himself, before turning to protest at Allegretto's running off.
However, Al had already gone, and so he instead followed Edward towards the Shrine, deciding to stay behind Edward despite having his Lapras. A sword was much more effective in this situation.
They walked cautiously towards the Shrine, Aaron noting the large amount of noise and commotion coming from where the shrine was located. "Something's going on. And I dont think it's an Archaeological dig." Aaron muttered, as Allegretto arrived, noticing out of the corner of his eye that Al now had one more full pokémon than he had owned before. He moved closer to the edge of a clearing, spotting a multitude of Helicopters and working 'grunts' surrounding the site, all seeming to be busy. He managed to spot a man who looked like he could be the boss, talking to two men arround Aaron's own age, and one young boy who shouldn't be old enough to even train pokémon, but had the expression of a proffessional and powerful trainer, at least, compared to the grunts.
He was about to brief a plan, when Zekrom came smashing into the middle of the operation site, causing havoc. Aaron was lost, until he spotted the Boss guy, and in the middle of the Chaos, unnoticed, Aaron ran after the Boss guy.

[Brinolovania]

S gasped as Zekrom appeared, along with some random kid. [b]"What the hell?! Where did that thing come from?! Doesn't matter...it's a Legendary, and we all know what Team Genesis does with Legendaries...go, Aenir, Chatot, and Togekiss!"[/b] He threw out three Pokeballs, and the designated Pokemon soared out. He gestured to the smallest one. It's head was a music note. [b]"Get ready everyone...Chatot, use sing!"[/b] He quickly covered his ears as the bird started singing a hypnotic song that could put anyone who heard it to sleep. As it sang, he nodded to Aenir and Togekiss. The Staraptor flew up, high above the ground, out of range of the song. Togekiss followed, and became covered in brilliant light as it flew.

[Medivh]

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymBawbmP-Tw"]As Zekrom saw the Genesis member's Pokemon, he growled.[/url]
[i][b]Cover your ears, [/b][/i]the Pokemon said.
"Why-" Caldus asked, before Zekrom blasted out an echoing cry, and from its mouth a beam of white and gray shockwaves shot out and collided with the Sing, creating a large explosion (Hyper Voice).
[b][i]You shouldn't fly when you are [/i][/b][b]my [i]enemies, little ones, [/i][/b]said Zekrom, before two bolts of lightning rained down from the sky, striking both Togekiss and the Staraptor (Thunderbolt).
Caldus felt he should help somehow, and sent out his Druggion. The two Pokemon, side by side, were a fearsome sight.
"Druggion!" said the Pokemon's trainer. "Arial Ace!" The Druggion glowed with a metallic color and flew at the Chatot.

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080] "The Regice!? You'll have to get over us then!"[/color] - Leon blushed a bit when K called them "horny teens", as she released her Pokemon - [color=#800080]"If that's how it's gonna be, let's do this, Dino!"[/color] - Leon flinged his ball, and a Cubone wielding his mother's femur appeared - [color=#800080]"Ready, Yamada?"[/color]

[b]"This damn woman!" [/b]- Xerxes grabbed his Pokephone, and dialed K's number - [b]"I'm on my way. You better have something for me down there."[/b] (...) X was turning around the dark corners of the Shrine's undergrounds, lighted by Gengar's Will-O-Wisp. He suddenly stopped, and saw K in front of Regice - [b]"That's one of them, K!"[/b] - he ran next to K, and saw Leon and Yamada -[b] "Hey, it's those horny kids from before. This dark spots are perfect for your fooling around, right?"[/b] - [color=#800080]"Do we really look horny?"[/color] - he noticed the Cubone and the Charmander the kids had, and turned his face into a more serious one - [b]"Trainers...what are you doing here!? Kotomi, you can take care of them right? I'll catch this one. Gengar, use Shadow Ball!" [/b]- The Pokemon extended its arms and shot a purple and black ball of energy, that impacted Regice - [b]"You don't know who you are messing with, kids."[/b]

[Asriel Dreemurr]

As the battle began between Zekrom and those in the surrounding area, Edward took advantage of the chaos and continued springing across the desert towards the shrine. The whole time he kept his arms wrapped around Ralts to prevent her from getting hurt by any sort of accident that could befall them en route. Assuming he wasn't interrupted or stopped one way or another, he would enter the shrine and set Ralts down once they were far enough in to be out of view of those caught in the chaos outside.

[Pichu]

"Charmander, use Ember!" Yamada cried. Charmander growled and shot a blast of fire at Roserade. Roserade blocked herself with her rose-like hands, but she was still damaged greatly. K pointed at Dino. "Clefable, Body Slam." Clefable jumped onto Dino, crushing the small Pokemon under her large size. K laughed as X walked up to her. "Xerxes! I've got them right where I want them! Go! GO!" K pushed X backwards. The Shadow Ball then hit Regice. Yamada grabbed Regice. "Are you ok?!" Regice's body temperture suddenly shoot up, and Regice turned white. Yamada let go of it. "It can't be evolving, can it?" Yamada asked. The glow disappeared and left a lone Hitmonchan. K's face became very puzzled. "Regice can't use Transform!" Hitmonchan dashed up to Roserade and Clefable and punched both of them in the face. Yamada turned to Leon. "Something's not right here."

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080]"D-Dino, are you okay!?"[/color] - Leon couldn't react as Clefable crushed Dino under her - [color=#800080]"Dino use Dig!"[/color] - the small Pokemon dug under the ground, leaving Clefable alone on the ground. Cubone then jumped behind Clefable -[color=#800080] "Now use Thrash!" [/color]- It started hitting Clefable with his bone, angrily. Leon grabbed Yamada when she left Regice, and Regice started glowing white, and transformed into a Hitmonchan - [color=#800080]"Regice can't transform...at all..."[/color] - Leon turned to Yamada, and grabbed her hand - [color=#800080]"This isn't the real Regice. It must be a Ditto, for sure. We should really leave now."[/color]

[b]"Oh, you are not going ANYWHERE. Go, Houndoom! Migthyena!"[/b] - X threw two green and black pokeballs behind Leon and Yamada, which released both the Bite and Dark Pokemon. - [b]"I don't think you can leave at all now, foolish kids."[/b]

[Pichu]

The Hitmonchan jumped back to Yamada, Leon, Dino, and Charmander. Then it transformed into it's true form. Mew. Yamada lost it. "OMIGOD, YOU GUYS!" Yamada yelled while jumping up and down. The Mew laughed. K smirked. "I came to get a Regi, but a Mew will be better!" K said. "Roserade use Razor Leaf!" Roserade smiled and shot many leaves at Mew. Mew smiled, and a bubble appeared around it. Then Mew and the bubble disappeared. "Go Mew!" Yamada yelled. K became furious. "What the Heatran!?" she yelled. "I'm sick and tired of you kids. Raichu use Volt Tackle!" K yelled. Raichu laughed, then charged at Yamada, Leon, Dino, and Charmander.

[AkatsukiPride!]

W dodged an attack from Regirock, then pointed at him, which resulted by Froslass hitting Regirock with a Shadow Ball. Regirock stumbled backwards after the impact. W clung onto the orb under his arm. After regaining attack, Regirock put its hands together, forming a ball of orange energy ((Hyper Beam)). He motioned towards Froslass, launching the blast. Froslass stood still, and the beam passed through her with no effect to do the fact she was a ghost type, and Hyper Beam was a normal type move. Froslass laughed, followed by W. "Silly pokemon. Now that you need to recharge, you're a sitting duck! Froslass, Blizzard!" Froslass pointed her hands at Regirock, unleashing a giant blast of ice, freezing Regirock in place. "Serves him right," He mumbled. He turned around, only to be ran into by a boy wearing yellow and purple.

***

Archer ran down the hall with his pokemon and Victini close behind. He saw a bend in the hall and made a sharp turn, running straight into a huge cavern and into a man wearing white accompanied by a Froslass and a Rotom. Archer looked behind him, making sure his pokemon were still here. "Who are [i]you?[/i]" the man asked. "And what are you doing here?" "Well, since you asked, I'm Archer Cambell, pokemon trainer! This is Soldier, Pit, and...Um, yeah, that's the legendary pokemon Victini." He motioned behind him to his pokemon. The mans eyes widened. "Victini?" He said. Archer raised an eyebrow. "You wearing the same logo as the woman form Legnew!" He said. "You're evil, and that's a frozen Regirock!" He had finally noticed the frozen golem in the back of the room. "What do you want?" Archer asked. "I am W, and we are team genesis. We outnumber by thousands, and we will achieve our goal of capturing every legendary pokemon in the world! Now give me that Victini! Use Thunder, Froslass!" Froslass unleashed a bolt of electricity, aimed at Victini. Victini put out it's hands, stopping the blast with Psychic. W growled. "I will take that Victini from you and be one step closer to my goal!" He yelled.

[Brinolovania]

S could do nothing as Thunderbolt knocked down Aenir and Togekiss, but he could do something for Chatot. Druggion's attack faded, but standing in from of Chatot was a large grey bird, covered in shining aura. It, and the Pokemon behind it were completely unharmed. S held a fourth Pokeball in his hand. [b]"My Swellow used Protect! It and Chatot are completely defended from your attack! And my other Pokemon might be down, but not out. First of all...Swellow and Aenir, use Double Team!" [/b][u]"Star, star!" "Swellow!" [/u]The air shimmered, and then it was filled with birds. [b] "First...go forth, Togekiss! Extremespeed!" [/b] The white Pokemon flew from the swarm almost too fast to be seen. It smashed into Zekrom, then returned to it's owner. Following behind it came Swellow, striking the legendary with it's wing (Air Slash). Then S snapped his fingers, and Chatot unleashed it's own scream (Hyper Voice), and Aenir shot a giant beam of energy (Hyper Beam). The first attack went for Druggion, the latter for Zekrom.

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080]"Mew? So it's true that you aren't extinct..."[/color] - When Yamada started jumping around, Leon couldn't help but notice a pair of bouncing watermelons. He looked away, to find Raichu running towards them in a Volt Tackle - [color=#800080]"Damn it...I know, Cubones are Ground Pokemon, so the Volt Tackle wont hit him. Dino, leave Clefable and use Bonemerang on Raichu!"[/color] - Cubone stopped hitting Clefable and jumped, throwing his bone at Raichu.

[b]"You are mine now, Mew. Houndoom, Flamethrower! Mightyena, Hidden Power! Gengar, Thunder!"[/b] - The three Pokemon fired at the Mouse-like Pokemon: Houndoom released a burst of fire, Mightyena shot multicolored balls of light and Gengar launched a lightning from above.

[ListenToLife]

Aaron ran through the chaos like he experienced it every day, dodging pokémon attacks with relative ease, avoiding grunts that would have slowered his progress. And yet he still managed to keep his eyes fixated directly on the leader's back, his vision taken up Primarily by the Giant G on X's back.
Following X closely, he entered the shrine with a skid, managing to keep up with X quite easily. He was about to shout out when X ran into the couple from legenew, Leon and Yamada, engaging in battle with the other member of Genesis, the one they had met before. He witnessed them protecting Regice, which transformed twice, to become what seemed to be its true form, the legendary Mew. Slightly confused, but adrenaline pumping through him, he ran next to Leon and Yamada, his Totodile appearing from no where, for his pokéball had just been a blur. "Water Pledge and Mud Sport, go!" Aaron commanded, his light hearted feel vanishing a bit. The tower of water and mud should've put a halt to both Houndoom's and Gengar's attacks, although it left Totodile open to the hidden power.
[i]I need to move this guy away. [/i]Aaron thought, thinking of a plan.

[Altαir]

After a short nap and an array of pecking thanks to Swablu, Brandon finally awoke up. He had walked a bit farther after his encounter with the strange force, but his lack of oxygen caused him to collapse, and his tiredness caused him the fall asleep. Swablu was used to higher altitudes, so it didn't mind much, and it had plenty of sleep while on Brandon's head. While Brandon was asleep, it was Swablu's turn to be the guard. Now that he was awake, Swablu was relieved, even though nothing much happened. But right when Brandon woke up, a flash of light and sounds of rumble were heard in the distance. A thunderbolt was shot, he figured. He didn't think it would've been a problem, it was just a battle off in the distance.

However, Swablu felt it was a problem, and she jumped at the lightning bolt's furious flash. She could feel uneasy movements in that direction, which is why she woke Brandon up. And if that thunderbolter came over here, Swablu doubted that herself, or the newly caught fishman (that was what she resolved to call him) would be able to face a towering lightning giant of mass destruction. So when Brandon saw her troubled complexion, he resolved that Swablu needed to see that it was only a small battle between trainers - and started walking towards the fight.

Swablu shook her head as a feeling of fear washed over her. Not [i]towards[/i] the smoldering comet of yellow! You were supposed to run [i]away [/i]from it!

[Medivh]

Zekrom grunted in pain as both the Air Slash and Extremespeed attacks hit him directly. Suddenly, a red seal much like one you would put on an envelope appeared on Chatot, and the Hyper Voice faded (Imprison). Druggion nodded it's thanks at the legendary Pokemon. As the Hyper Beam shot at Zekrom, the Pokemon's hand glew electric blue and it shot a beam of Lightning from it's hand, colliding with the Hyper Beam (Fusion Bolt). Afterwards, the legendary dropped to it's knees, panting.
[i][b]Can't take much more of this...[/b][/i]
Caldus nodded, and threw out two Pokeballs. From them, both a Quilava and a Durant emerged.
"Durant!" Shouted Caldus. "Furry Cutter on the Togekiss!" The Durant's fangs shone with a metallic light, and it jumped at the Togekiss, slashing a it rapidly.
"Quilava!" Caldus told his new Pokemon. "Flame Wheel!" The Quilava shrugged and unleashed a Smokescreen. Eyes darting around, Quilava searched for a target. Frustrated, he gave up, and instead let loose a Swift at the flock of birds.
"Should've expected as much..." muttered Caldus.

[Pichu]

Yamada looked around to see if Mew was around still, but Mew had teleported somewhere else. Yamada turned to see another boy, Aaron, next to them. [i]'Ohhhh~! It's Aaron!'[/i] Yamada thought. His Totodile appeared and blocked the attacks. Yamada turned back to K. "Charmander use Sratch!" Yamada yelled pointing to K. Charmander jumped at K and attacked her. Yamada grabbed Charmander and Dino, then pushed Leon. "Run, dumba*s!" she yelled as she took off running down the hall, and back into the large room where Yamada had, er, made Leon feel good. Due to Charmander's light, another hallway was reveal. Yamada ran down it. K was furious now. "Xerxes, go get the kid with the Totodile. This is now personal!" K yelled running after Yamada and Leon. Roserade, Clefable, and Raichu followed her.

Yamada led herself and Leon to another large room. At the end was a large, frozen golen. Regice. "This must be the real Regice." Yamada said, putting Charmander and Dino on the ground. K ran in behind them, her Pokemon following. "Regice!" K yelled. "Excuse me, lovebirds, but I'll be taking this Pokemon!" K said walking up to the frozen golem. Yamada stepped towards K. "No!" she yelled. Then Raichu, Clefable, and Roserade acted of if they were going to attack. K laughed. "It might not be a smart idea to try and stop me. Raichu can send a thousand volts up your spine, killing you, Roserade can cut you up and plant you like flowers, and Clefable can crush you under her body." K said. She placed a hand on the frozen golem. The dots on Regice's body began to glow! Then Regice moved an arm. "REGICE!" the Pokemon buzzed. K pulled out a Pokeball and pressed the button in the middle. A large net shot out, capturing Regice inside. The net retracted into the Pokebal, bring Regice with it. "Newly improved Genesis Pokeballs! Complete with net for easy capture!" K laughed. K began to walk out of the room when the wall shot down, covering the doorway.

S raised an eyebrow at the attacks flying at him. [b]"Is this all Zekrom can do? Did I really just weaken it this much with this few attacks? And of course the trainer he's allied with...I'm utterly unimpressed."[/b] Togekiss yelped and flew back a bit as the Fury Cutter hit it, but stayed up easily enough. Then S outright laughed as Quilava attack the swarm. Several clones exploded, but the actual Pokemon remained safe. [b]"Honestly...I was hoping for a fun battle at least...but I guess I'm not even getting that. Now then. Togekiss doesn't like getting whacked...so give that Durant a Flamethrower!" Then Swellow, use Aerial Ace on Quilava! And Chatot, try Hyper Voice again on Druggion!"[/b] At his commands, Togekiss spewed fire, Chatot screamed, and a whole bunch of Swellows charged. Aenir just sat down, recharging after the Hyper Beam.

Having escaped from the chaos outside, Edward began to explore the depths of the Trigi Shrine. whilst keeping Ralts in his arms just to be safe. He marveled at the stonework all around him, everywhere he looked were more and more hints that this particular structure was absolutely ancient. He happened across a carving depicting the three Regi Pokemon.

"So...this shrine must have been built to Regice Registeel and Regirock," he mused aloud, "I wonder if-" He was cut off by a sound deep within from what he could only guess was some sort of intense battle. He immediately began running down the halls as quickly as he possibly could to intervene on behalf of whoever happened to need aid. He descended further and further down, before he caught sight of someone who seemed to be in some position of power over the people manning the excavation outside and who was accompanied by a grand total of three Pokemon: A Gengar, Houndoom, and Mightyena. The group had launched a salvo of attacks at something which he could not see, but had clearly teleported out or otherwise evaded the attacks before it had been struck. He also saw another trainer who seemed to be trying to battle the man and was obviously outclassed to some degree. Edward decided to even the odds.

[i]"Ralts, hit Gengar with Hypnosis!" [/i]The mental command rang out, audible only to his little friend. The small Pokemon nodded her head before jumping down out of his arms to the ground and channeling the psychic energies towards the large Ghost Pokemon in an attempt to force it into sleep.
