Shay Draklyn
Ryme City Entrance
Affected RPers: @Noblejanobii @Neo Emolga

It was almost a natural reflex. Shay took an instinctive step back, barely avoiding the Zoroark's claws cutting between herself and the stranger. Chaos erupted in a second and Shay had little time to process it all happening. First, there was an enraged Zoroark trying to claw their eyes out. Cottonbloom went into full defensive action, and Havoc followed the same. That was until there was another crash from behind her and Choros. Second to the fray, an equally angry Pangoro. Vendor's and newstands didn't stand a chance in it's path. Havoc was now torn between which of the two; she knew she wasn't supposed to pick a fight, but this fight had already started. Suddenly, a flash came from the Quick Ball on Shay's bag, materializing a fellow party member between the two humans, and their dark assailant. A very fluffy, static sparking Galvantula, Cayci, was to become this illusionary master's new target.

That was one thing that didn't make sense to the trainer: Zoroark were quite capable of messing with people with illusions. An all out attack like this made no sense to her. Even the most temperamental of Zoroark created the most elaborate and frightening of spectacles rather than brute force it. The Pangoro could be explained, but thousands of questions a second were coming to Shay's mind. Choros hopped onto the ground, moving between Cayci and the small group they had formed. Choros wasn't as seasoned as the rest of them, but learning from Havoc had taught her a few things. A powerful barrier was brought up against the Zoroark as it's claws buffeted it with unrelenting force.

'Well at least there isn't a drag-'

The roar of a familiar beast caught her attention in the sky. A blue, and red crescent winged dragon was having an equally as upsetting rampage.

"Oh no-" Shay felt herself being pulled away by the resident, mentioning something about rogue Pokemon and the police. Shay followed for a second, listening to the woman's intro with her camera. Podcast, that was probably what she wanted to say. Still, there were people, Pokemon, and destruction happening. There were three, fully evolved Pokemon about, and Shay knew the most dangerous of those three, was the Salamence. She knew dragons, she had dragons. Knowing these creatures was in her soul.

Shay made a decision. Grabbing a Moon Ball from her pouch while Choros was stalling for time, she turned back to Cottonbloom and her friend.

"I'm here now. I know dragon types better than anything, and if that Salamence keeps that up? A few city blocks are going to be on fire at best. They need something else to try and fight, and I'm not seeing any volunteers that are lasting more than a second." She threw the ball in the air, unleashing the friend inside once it hit the apex of it's height. A slender, bat wyvern known as a Noivern came out, wings flapping and anticipating instruction. "Sonata, remember what I ask you to not to do Spirit and Ryouskan? Do that to that Salamence."

Normally, Sonata would use her Telepathy ability to communicate a confirmation, however there was little time to speak. The Noivern sped off with a few flaps and a mighty gust of wind, leaving the other three Pokemon. Shay looked at the Pangoro and the Zoroark. Cayci was the better option for the fox: she had sharp eyes, she was fast, and could tie it down and wear it out. Zoroark didn't have the same kind of raw physical strength as Pangoro, but this even seemed too much for the Pokemon. Her own two Pokemon looked at her for a sign confirmation. Shay nodded at the Galvantula, knowing she wouldn't need her instruction to try and subdue the creature. As for Havoc, her eyes burned with a happy need for combat. Shay pointed the Haxorus at the Pangoro, knowing she could handle the pressure that such a Pokemon could give. Shay's trainer style was very strange by typical standards: she didn't give as much instruction, often letting her Pokemon do as they wanted once she helped them find their skills. She interrupted when she saw something her Pokemon didn't. She couldn't watch three battles at once, even if she knew the Pokemon capabilities well. Despite what Shay knew, there was just something different in the air. Something in the back of her mind tingled with familiarity, but what was it? She couldn't watch all three of them, she needed more eyes. If only someone...

'The camera.'

Shay turned back to Choros, who was about to chase after Havoc, but stopped by a quick sneaker to the chest. "No, Choros, I need you to stay and defend her with your Protect."

Then, she turned to the camera woman and her plucky Hoppip. Credit was due where credit was due: Cottonbloom certainly had moxie. "I need you to film as much of these Pokemon as possible. I'll answer whatever questions you want later, just make sure you get as much as you can."

(These next few scenes are purely for organization's sake and interaction's sake)

Cayci vs Zoroark
The Galvantula's simple strategy was to wear the dark type down by out speeding it, and hitting it with as much Sticky Web as possible. Galvantula had just a smaller edge in the agility, but Cayci having to actually use that move to avoid attacks? Something was definitely wrong here. She was losing some fur off of her legs thanks to the rampant claws and furious swiping. The Sticky Web wasn't sticking as well as it should, but at least when the Galvantula's opponent tried to move on to other targets, she remained an obstacle in it's path. Between her little arms, electricity formed in an orb, and was flung at the fox with the speed of a lightning strike itself. It hit the fox but it remained unfazed. The only shift in it's body language was more motivation to assault the electric spider. There were still no illusions in play, and hopefully that was for the better.

Havoc vs Pangoro
You wouldn't believe a dragon had an appreciation for martial art style combat unless you would have seen it. Haxorus didn't have the same bulk as Pangoro, but they hit incredibly hard and fast. Parrying between each punch and heavy-fisted slam with Hone Claws, Havoc was almost overwhelmed the first few seconds of combat. The sheer force this bear was putting out felt abnormal. Still, Havoc did not yield in times of dire need, and people needed protecting. There was no protecting the pavement though, as craters and claw marks scarred the street and side walk. Every time something else came between Havoc and her opponent, it was one Dragon Claw swipe away to redirect the attack away from whatever poor Pokemon would have been on the receiving end of it. After a trading of blows with no precise hit, the Pangoro took a wide swing of it's arm, hitting Havoc right in the chest and sending her flying into a nearby alley way. The Haxorus hit the ground hard, after having a dumpster try and break her momentum. Havoc coughed, and took the few seconds to get back up, not noticing the two Cinccino behind her. With a swish of her tail, she took a mad dash to dive at the Pangoro before it could hit anyone or anything else.

Sonata vs Salamence
Noivern's were naturally faster than most other dragons, but Salamence had more bulk and raw power. Sonata's attempts to try and communicate with the dragon were met with the equivalent of radio static, only if such a sound was able to shriek and scream at whoever was trying to access it. Sonata could fly circles around this Salamence, and did just that, trying to act as a distraction while intercepting flames with Dragon Pulse and stopping debris from crashing on the poor civilian's with Psychic. What was giving her the flight advantage was the use of Tailwind. There was no way the Noivern was about to out-power a Hoenn dragon. Getting it to come back around towards shay may not have been the wisest idea, but keeping those three rogues in one place would help the police out. There were snaps and beams of draconic and fiery energy flashing across the reflections in glass windows, likely terrifying anyone who was on the inside.
