There was far too much going on, and Rain was having trouble keeping her thoughts straight. The number of different sounds in the area, from the screams, crackling flames, and the sounds of all three Pokemon battles was starting to get overwhelming. Around her, Azriel, Nuala, and Cerridwen were all relaying information about the fights to her. She’d heard Grace cry out for Ollie earlier, but Cerridwen assured her the Decidueye was back up and fighting again. Nuala informed her that Grace herself had launched a successful attack on the Salamence, alongside Liz’s Vaporeon.

And then there was Azriel’s reports on the battle between the Haxorus and Cinccino pair and the Pangoro. She’d heard a loud commotion earlier, followed by silence before it sounded as though either the Haxorus or Pangoro had gotten back up. She assumed the fight was tense, because Azriel had stopped relaying information completely before there was a roar of pain from the massive panda Pokemon. “...Did that…? That Cinccino just—it looks like one of the Cinccino just tased the Pangoro. I...I admit, I was not aware they were trainable to that extent.”

“It what?” Rain asked in surprised English, and beside her, Liz jolted. It was the first loud words Rain had spoken in several minutes, as well as the only thing she’d spoken in English after dispatching her team.

/He’s informed her about the Cinccino,/ the mental voice of the Slowking beside her supplied, and she glanced down at the intelligent Psychic type she called Ein.

/Is she really communicating with them? I mean, I know N Harmonia could speak to Pokemon, and psychic types can establish telepathic team bonds, but her whole team.../

/Is composed of ghost types, yes. She’s communicating with them, and it appears she’s doing so as though she’s a native speaker of the language, but we have more pressing matters to face, don’t we?/ With a jolt, Liz realized that Ein was indeed correct, no matter how much she desperately wished for the time to speak to the other woman and understand what exactly was going on here--and there was a lot going on, she realized as what seemed to be yet another trainer joined the fray.

“Ollie, move!” Cerridwen shouted as the Luxray barreled towards the Zoroark, and the bird Pokemon launched himself away from the fox while shouting to the Galvantula still attached to it much like one of those popular children’s backpacks.

“Hey! Bail out!” he shouted, hoping the electric spider got out of the careless Luxray’s path before they were seriously hurt.

Grace and Flicker, however, were too busy with the Salamence to allow themselves time to look over at the chaos that had interrupted Ollie and the Galvantula’s fight. Though the dragon hadn’t previously noticed the pair and their new Vaporeon friend before, their opening attacks had given their presence away, and it certainly noticed them now. As they watched, the Salamence’s attention snapped to the trio on the ground, and Grace knew they only had seconds to react as she spotted small embers of flame lick at the dragon’s opened mouth--it was readying for a flamethrower. “Move--” Splish started, but Grace cut her off abruptly.

“Behind me, now!” she barked before tossing the tiny candle Pokemon she’d been holding into the air just as a torrent of flames exploded from the dragon’s mouth. Splish gave an instinctive cry of alarm that drew Liz’s attention, and Ein had to stop the woman from running forward to try to aid her second-oldest friend.

But the flames never touched them. Instead, Flicker gave another yawn, opening his small mouth wide to swallow the flames. In response, the small fire atop his head grew absolutely massive in size before he returned the favor by spitting a massive Ember attack back at the dragon, which dodged out of the way--

Straight into the Shadow Punch thrown by a Golurk that had just joined the fight.

A Golurk that apparently one of their fellow teammates had warned Rain was now present, as the tiny woman screamed in English above the roaring of the dragon as its wings momentarily faltered, “Grace! Use Blizzard!” She didn’t have to be told twice. In fact, the Froslass smiled as she snatched Flicker easily out of the air and set him down beside Splish, who readied for another Aurora Beam assist. This attack took a bit longer to charge, and Grace felt the temperature of the air around her plummet as she focused on the Salamence, building up the ferocity of the storm she would unleash on it. This fight was ending, and it was ending now.

"I'm so sorry," Grace whispered, and unleashed the move on the Salamence, an orb of vicious, frigid wind and ice exploding around it in the blink of an eye.

Shay Draklyn
Ryme City Entrance
Affected RPers: @Noblejanobii @Winter @Neo Emolga @Death's Spook
Shay didn't regret her decision to say. The bit of time it did take for officials to show up was too long for her liking. She was also of the opinion that they came under prepared for the situation. Be it because there were already people here handling the situation, or they simply didn't have the power to do so, it wasn't a good thing in her eyes. It looked like things were becoming more under control, and the eager Jangmo-o nearly nipping at her ankle knew it as well. Shay looked down and found Choros, claws dug into the concrete. All she had to do was nod and the dragon was off like a shot towards Havoc.

Now Shay had to watch that Salamence. A one on one turned into a one versus... a handful. It was hard to say how many were actually in combat with the blue and red beast. It seemed confused between the anti-air tactics and the one well within it's melee range. In those moments of anger, two more attacks came for it. Sonata was apt at avoiding them, but Shay could tell, even she was having trouble with her ability to avoid them all. With her left Pokemonless at the moment, Shay turned to the person she had been talking to previously. First, there needed to be an idea given to Sonata. Shay whistled a sharp, loud whistle, catching the Noivern's attention. A quick glance towards her Trainer, and a few exchanged thoughts and she knew immediately what to do.

Shay turned to the blogger. "Hey, what else does Cottonbloom know? I have an idea, and I know Ryme isn't much for battling, but I'm going to need your Hoppip's help..."

Then she realized that there was another issue. "... what was your name? I might have missed it when the pavilion exploded into chaos."


Havoc
Now Havoc had met a lot of Pokemon with a lot of different skills. A taser was not something she expected, but she took whatever she could. As the electricity ran it's course, the tusks on her face began to glow with teal energy. Growling and swinging her head left to right, Dual Chop took it's toll as there was no dodging that in the position the Pangoro was in. When the Haxorus could, she shifted her weight forward, making sure to not crush her comrades and to force the Pangoro on it's back, should it still have the energy to get back up once more. The Pangoro struggled to stay up, a knee down on the street, still attempting to stay up once again. One arm broke free, and tried to raise up to get one final blow in, knowing it's opponent had only slightly more energy that it did.

What happened next was almost comical. A small grey blur smacked headfirst into the Pangoro, making it flinch and knocking it over slowly onto the ground. Choros, a little dazed, landed on the ground next to the heavily beaten Havoc. The Pangoro remained still on the ground. Havoc and Choros waited a few seconds before determining a relaxing conclusion: it had finally been defeated. Havoc remained standing, though arms were limp, scales scuffed and dented, bruises beginning to form under her natural armor. There still was a job to do. She looked at the pair of Cinccino, breathing heavily but still concious.

"Unorthodox... but well fought... where is safety for you two?"

"Yeah, we or I can get you at least somewhere safe!" Choros chimed in. "Or at least part way. Return the favour for helping my big sis' Havoc."


Cayci
Suddenly there was a Golurk. Suddenly there was a Luxray. That Luxray was charging right at the Zoroark, and by extension, her. Cayci had a few options to consider: take a bit of the hit and make sure the Zoroark was hit, and not lose her grip and Sticky Web, or two, leap off at the last second, take no unnecessary damage and play the guessing game. Cayci decided the latter, waiting until the last moment to vault herself off of the illusion fox and onto a nearby pile of debris. It didn't leave time for the Zoroark to dodge the hit, as was evident by the sparks and electricity crackling in the air. The Galvantula frowned, well, as much as a spider could frown. Now she had to reassess her trappings, as some of them had been annihilated by the Wild Charge.

Well if there was anything Cayci was good at, it was making webs. She could lob globs of sticky so that the Zoroark wouldn't be able to move. Of course, the Zoroark still had the rage and energy to break these pockets of web, but it would either have to do that, or fight the Luxray in front of it.


Sonata
She had to take a moment to keep track of all the players in this game. He head began to spin a bit, before she heard a sharp whistle from a familiar face. Sonata's attention drew to her trainer, and she hovered closer, temporarily blocking out all the other noise in her mind. The conversation was brief: all the cotton spores in play could help with the Salamence, and with Sonata's control of the wind, it may just bring the Salamence down. Sonata nodded, lowering her altitude and spiraling around the cloud of soft particles, sending them upwards towards the dragon quickly. A ping in Sonata's mind came as the air chilled to uncomfortable temperatures. Sonata had an idea.

Moving fast she altered the wind currents and put the cotton in the path of the Blizzard attack. The moisture in the air would freeze around the cotton, essentially creating small packets of ice. Those would be thrown into the Salamence, hopefully adding to the sting of the assault. It was a bit of a dirty move, but there were lives on the line. The icy storm connected with it's intended target, and the Salamence roared in pain. Hopefully that would be enough to bring it down, but just in case, Sonata was ready with Psychic to catch it before it broke a few bones on impact.
