Episode 11: Merry Useless Lesbians and a Happy Suplex For All!

[fallers_npcs]

In the stillness of evening
Nothing was stirring
not even a Ratata
Or a Togedemaru for sure
When out of the shadows
I hear but a clatter
I sprang to the roof
to see what was the matter...


December 13 to 18 Prompts 1 to 3
Prompt 1
Today, you might notice a headline on the front page as a photograph is shown. Of a distinct Sleigh in the night skies, and two figures: one slender, one burly. And the title: "SANTA CAME EARLY THIS YEAR! SLEIGH CRASHLANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF MELEMELE FOREST!"


Prompt 2: Amelie the Christmas Granddaughter
The next day, there’s a young girl with a face some people might find familiar wandering around the island, wearing a Santa-themed dress and carrying a strange device that continually beeps and flashes. She’s not shy about sticking it directly in people’s faces, either.


Prompt 3: Sasha the Christmas Incineroar
Along with the young girl, one might find a Christmas Incineroar stalking about the island, looking like she is attending to the well wishers, with passing presents from a big sack, rounding up kids and falling Fallers, and other such interactions. She is also often seen with the young girl who is shoving her beeping device into people's faces. Any trouble makers are instantly Christmas Suplexed and leaves Candy Coal for the Bad Boys and Girls.


December 18: The Crashlanding

And then suddenly without warning
With a crash and a bash and a smash
Naughty Viren took advantage of Santa
And stole his Sleigh, for a Commercial and that's bad

Prompt 4: The Christmas Grinch Viren *Event Prompt Beings On the 16th*

It seems that the massive cause of the Christmas Cheer being so poor right now, is Viren commercializing Santa to the skeptical Fallers who have been more than willing to go along with his nonsense. He is ready to take Santa's Sleigh, and take over the Toy Factory, all of his Delibirds, and force him to sign a contract to build a big golden statue of himself in the North Pole! You gotta stop him!

Comments

[luckydragonsfoot]

Suffice to say as Kaiba approaches, Katsuya is mostly groaning in his hands. "Maaaaan...Why'd she have t' have such good aim..." He groans, only to freeze.

A vision of red. Of yellow. Of-

Oh they're here now actually, so they should move.

"Kaseri!" He shouts, giving a proper order as he bolts up, "Get 'm Confused!"

Well now it's a fight! And Kaseri is more than eager to play- with a strange and warbling cry, psychic power blasts forward in hopes of not only leaving damage, but confusion as well.

Yuume meanwhile shakes her head, focusing on the battle just as quick. "Tch. I have no doubt you would have brought it to this level as is..! Hatti! Audino!" she shouts, only to sigh as her Indeedee follows as well. "And...You, I suppose... ....GO! Misty Terrain!" she starts, Audino setting the field. "Hatti- follow with Disarming Voice..!" she orders second, grabbing her Indeedee's hand as she melts into shadow and coats herself with armor.

"You, however, come with me..." Viren fights dirty after all, so she wants to get a closer eye on what follows while the fight is on.

[revolutionhawk]

Rather than his Hawlucha, Shay actually opted for sending out his Cramorant. The fact that the bird lifts off just above most people's heads doesn't end up helping much within the crowded space-

Because suddenly the horse fires off that Confusion attack and Scuttle squawks in pain and alarm upon being caught up in the blast, then it takes a dive until the rush Shay makes to catch about 40 pounds of scruffy cormorant- right after also being thrown to the floor again by the shockwave- look super cool and effortless.

"It's alright, I'm not mad at you. If you've figured out Aqua Ring by now, use it."

Concerning a certain IDIOT that he's glaring at now, just wait until this mess is over...

[nothing_can_stop_me]

“WAAAAAUGH!” Della yelped, clutching her head. “Excuse me?! Do you mind?!” She shouted towards whoever attacked everyone. “Gonna have a headache here... and that gives me an idea!”

With that, she tosses a Pokeball, releasing Donald Psyduck out. “Donald, they’re gonna ruin Christmas if we don’t stop them!”

“What?! Why those no-good...!” The Psyduck warbled before charging at the Mad Magmar with Fury Swipes. Della, however, had plans as she ran over to Viren. “Hey! Hey, you! I wanna talk to you!”

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Kaiba’s Goomy wails as chaos unfolds. However, the little dragon is a lot more composed than Kaiba and reacts on their own. The Goomy draws in a deep breath before shooting out the most powerful water gun it can muster towards the Magmar.

Wes admittedly had gotten distracted. While everyone else was arriving, his baby Morpeko had jumped out of his pocket and retrieved a toy. It was a cheap plastic one, but a toy none the less. It actually reminded Wes of something he had a long time ago...

And suddenly Viren is yelling. Right, he had just threatened him and apparently the others were too. Wes turns and frowns as he looks at the opponents. Right... a battle.

Paying no attention to the chaos Jou is unfolding, Wes springs to action. He draws his Pokeball, figuring that Morpeko wasn’t suited for right now and the small darling needed rest.

“Koffing! Use sludge! Defeat that Electivire!”

As Koffing swirls and spits out its foul gunk, Wes makes for a break towards Mr. Electric. He sees wrestlers and he doesn’t see it as a double battle. This meant they could fight too, right? Viren did say he had to beat them...

[fallers_npcs]

The only response could be controlled chaos. Almost.

The first salvo of webbing was grabbed by Electivire as he swung Spider-man around like a whip, and tossed him away as the Confusion struck everyone on the field, dizzying several but then the Misty Terrain cleared everything up real fast.

But then the Disarming Voice accidentally struck a podium with active microphones and it ricocheted, reverberating out from speakers surrounding the room and slammed back into the Disarming Voice cancelling it out.

Aqua Ring Heals for a decent amount!

Mad Magmar found himself being charged down with Fury Swipes and the pro wrestler yelped in surprise but his Magmar intercepted with Fire Punch which knocked Donald back several steps.

And finally Koffing's Sludge splashed against the Electivire's Thunderbolt, the Thunderbolt crashing right through it and striking Koffing while Mr. Electric decided that since Wes was meeting him, he would attempt to Clothesline him with a failure to that maneuver.

Tony in the meantime, was protecting some presents, escorting some shoppers out of the area, and sighing. "Can you people take this outside?" he demanded.

[hashtagparkerluck]

"Wuh-oh." Peter gets out before he's whipped around like a doll except he's fairly certain dolls get treated better than this! He tries to regain control of the situation but he's suddenly feeling extremely dizzy from all the back and forth. He lets go of the web strand and braces himself for impact only to feel himself crash into someone rather than something.

Knowing his luck, it's probably Mr Stark. "Ugh... I don't feel so well..." He whines, trying to get his head to stop spinning. For someone with near perfect equilibrium he sure gets motion sickness easy enough.


Shelob, meanwhile is joining the fight and aims a poison sting attack right at Electivire.

[luckydragonsfoot]

"NHHG-"

Suffice to say Katsuya didn't expect that. Katsuya didn't expect that at all. Kaseri is prancing around excitedly, and the guys right next to him are groaning and shouting and glaring and he hates this.

"Khh...hh...What th' hell..!" The ponyta isn't prancing anymore. "Tha' ain't what we did in th' forest...don't look proud!" His shouting isn't especially loud- it's more severe than loud, because as much as he's upset it's also an animal, kind of, and well.

He sort of...gets that animals don't 100% understand. Not really. At the very least Kaseri seems more like a large baby and...

Dammit. "We shouldn' even be doin' this, Kaseri..! We weren' supposed t' fight, an' it ain't good that we are..! An' hurtin everyone around y'..." To be entirely fair on both sides, in the forest there weren't allies to hit. But all the same, one shouldn't be so pleased with themselves right after that sort of backfire.

Not at all. "Nnn...Nniiihihi..?"

Katsuya's expression is flat. "We can't afford t' screw up-" he insists, digging out some berries from his pocket and blindly handing them over to the ones beside him- they need it, after what his pokemon did. Even if it means he has none after. "So take th's seriously..!"

"Nihi...Nniihhh..." The ponyta blinks- not necessarily upset, but at least contemplative... And then, tapping the ground anxiously, she turns and allows her tail to shine. "NNNIIIIIIHHHHH!"

"NY- WHAT-" Well great, there she goes with Iron Tail, charging toward Alolan Golem. The magmortar, meanwhile, seems to have been Struck HARD...probably by the Very pleased looking Goomy that Katsuya just handed a berry. Watergun. Super effective. Extreme damage.

"Heh...good job squirt..." At least someone's praising them.

Yuume meanwhile has...well. An entirely other idea. Disarming Voice didn't quite get amplified and redirected the way she'd hoped. No instead it cancelled itself out. Worse, this is the absolute shittiest place for a battle...they need to get out of here, and she needs time to formulate a plan for that. Fortunately her Audino knows where to carry it off in her absence. Glowing the brilliant pink of Secret Power, Audino charges for Poliwrath...

But behind her, Hatti the Hatenna is getting rather anxious. Disarming Voice didn't do anything, and that was sort of what she was supposed to use. But nothing happened??? Nothing happened...

So Hatti, tiny and scared and unsure, panics a bit, instead looking up toward the very large and very mean looking revengers and-

"H...HaaaAAATTEEEEEEEE!!"

That's not Disarming Voice. That is Psybeam, and god only knows which of the baddies she even hit.

(They really, really should get outta here.)

[revolutionhawk]

After Jou hands over a healing berry snack to his bird, Shay regards the teen with a bit less of a withering look and sends the waterfowl up back into the air.

"Being in close quarters like this cuts our options down..." And he doesn't like it. "There. Use Pluck."

He points out the Poliwrath and motions for what Scuttle should additionally do, which they follow to the letter- though it seems their target managed to see the incoming bird and the Cramorant is unceremoniously tossed into a tree.

Shay cannot hold back a bitter and frustrated sigh as while there are some good hits going on against the "Revengers", overall it's still a hell of a mess.

[nothing_can_stop_me]

Della got the berry from Jou only to watch Donald get slugged by the Magmar. Thankfully, being a water type meant that it didn't hurt too much. On the other hand, it made its headache worse.

"Aaaaugh, my head." he groaned, clutching his head, causing Della to stop and run back for the Psyduck.

"Oh, nonononono!" she cried out, slamming the berry down his beak. "No super psychic powers things!"

"Waaaaaaaugh!" Donald yelped as the headache got worse.

"Oh, no! Everyone take cover! Psychic duck with a headache!" Della shouted... tossing Donald at the villains as it went to use Water Gun, shooting the Psyduck skyward and drowning the villains as it did.

"DUCK AND COVER!" And she hid behind a table. "...that's not a psychic move."

[blue_ice]

Why was this happening? What did he do to deserve any of this? (A lot of things, actually.) He was thrown by Jou's wayward blast, and landed in such a heap that his coat trapped him at an extremely awkward angle on the ground. All anyone heard from him for the last while was some muffled shouting, but thankfully his small goo dragon was smart enough to act on her own.

He finally wriggled out of his coat just in time to see Jou feeding Goomy, and...ah. Okay. He'll allow it this time, Jou.

And he finally stood, absolutely seething with anger. It radiated from him for a few moments, before sharpening into determination.

"Keep going, Goomy! Help it!"

But he was still off balance and flustered, so despite his best effort, he...wasn't really heard...

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes out of the corner of his eye sees his Koffing take the hit. He frowns, looking around. Unlike the others, he’s fine with working with their close quarters but he understood that they needed to get out. And thus, a plan formulated as he moves.

“Koffing. Sludge again. Aim at its face.” Because ducking would spread the damage to whoever was behind it and if the Electrivire did another lightning blast through it then it would more likely spread on its allies.

Wes looks at Mr. Electric. He ducks under the clothesline and grabs the man by the torso. Kicking in his super strength, he tries to fling the man out through the window.

[fallers_npcs]

Tony caught Peter on the way down with a oof, but then he skidded backwards into the soft stuffed bear that Golurk held. "Thanks bud," said Tony as Golurk rumbled in response. "You okay kid?"

Shelob's Poison Sting struck true, and it poisoned Electivire, inflicting status damage.

Jou's Iron Tail glanced off its target but the following blast from Psybeam blasted, blazing off the Golem for a chunk of psychic damage.

Shay's pluck indeed tosses him into a tree and the Polywrath attacks Scuttle with Bubble Beam.

Donald's Snake Eyes Roll of Fury Swipes instead is grabbed by Muk and he basically clamps down on the poor duck. Squeezing Hard with Wrap. Headache count down 5, 4, 3...

Seto's Goomy manages not to hear the attack command. This place is madness ya'll.

Wes's Koffing damages the Electrivire with strong Poison damage as it is KOed and it goes down. Mr. Electric however pulls Wes, reverses him and Ho Ho Ho Holiday Suplexes him.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Shelob is feeling very proud of herself and looks back at the battle. Who's next? Who else hurt her precious Spinarak-boy? He looks menacingly at the others.

Peter, meanwhile, if feeling a bit winded as he his mind tries to catch up with what's happening.

"Oh my god! Mr Stark, are you okay?" He asks, feeling his panic start to build. Tony could have really gotten hurt and it would have been all this fault. He sucks in a breath and tries not to think about that. Tries not to pay attention to the voice at the back of his head trying to convince him it's not like it really matters anyway.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." He nods, tugging his mask down some just in case it was coming loose. That done, he quickly turns to fire another web, aiming to web the... Revengers again.

[luckydragonsfoot]

This isn't looking great. It's like that guy earlier said- they need to get out of here. Katsuya moves first- he's been slinking through that fog after all, and now he's making his move! Target the backs of the knees. The areas that make it hard to keep standing. Go for the spots that take one quick blow to leave a guy dizzied, and more importantly..!

"We're takin th's outside, big guy..!" Kaseri isn't about to just leave Katsuya alone of course- the trainer's Muk is getting targetted by another Iron Tail, this one with far more strength behind it than before. "C'MON! GIT!" ...not that it'll do much on goo.

And what of Yuume..? Well.

Yuume went to get a bit of Holiday Spirit to more properly help, and in the meantime sent Indeedee back into the fray- in particular, the pokemon appears before the lovely Audino, bowing gracefully and shining with the might of a Helping Hand.

"Auuuudii?" It's fine Audino. You know what to do.

Audino turns, and with renewed power charges- "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUDINNOOOOO!!" Specifically, renwewed Secret Power, which will hopefully actually strike that nearest opponent...which this time is Magmortar.

As for Hatenna? Well..! Psybeam seems to have done her some good right?? Try it again!! Same target! Same target!! Get the Golem!! "HATTE HATTE HATTEE!!!"

...Yuume cannot get Amelie fast enough, truly.

[nothing_can_stop_me]

Poor Donald - attack failed, captured by the Muk and being squeezed.

"My... head..." the Psyduck groaned. And then, it happened. With the Muk squeezing him, a psychic move finally came out:

Psyshock. Hopefully aimed at the Muk to make it regret grabbing him.

[blue_ice]

Kaiba wants to scream out his frustration as Goose bobs along, ignoring his call. This is too much. They have to concentrate!

"Goose, Water Gun!" he calls desperately, pointing her at the Muk.

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Koffing seems rather proud with himself for helping take down the Electvire. However, when he sees Wes getting grabbed, it yells out.

“Koffing!”

“No!” Wes growls as he’s lifted. “Attack Poliwrath!”

The koffing looks conflicted, especially as Wes is suplexed into the ground, but turns and shoots a direct sludge at Poliwrath, following the advice Wes has earlier.

Wes hisses as he hits the ground and pain circulated through his whole body. It clenches into his heart and the pain sparked anger into him, anger that lit up like a bonfire covered in gasoline. A familiar black aura encompasses Wes as he looks up at his opponent. Then, he grabs Mr. Electric’s leg and pulls him down, before moving over him to start punching him over and over and over and over...

“Krrrrrrrrrr!!!” Die. Die. Die. Die. Die.

[onaroll]

Okay. It's S H O W T I M E.

Amelie's Santa dress has changed to a Santa-themed singlet, festooned with what appears to be Christmas tree ornaments. Colorful wings are attached to her arms as she spreads them out, striking a pose, her face obscured by the combination luchadore mask and Santa hat she's wearing.

"BEHOLD! SANTA CLAUS HAS COME TO TOWN!"

She strikes a pose, folding one leg up so that her knee rests against her chest, a hand near her face and the other pointing at THE ENEMY.

"Christmas is a holiday that brings joy to children and beautiful women! Bearing the name of Santa Mask, I will bring down the Holiday Hammer of Judgement on you! Now! Ignite, my Cosmos!"

The pom-pom on the end of her mask starts to glow with the light of Z-Power as SANTA MASK strikes another pose.

"I can feel it! I can feel the Cosmos! Behold! THIS IS THE POWER OF CHRISTMAS!"

IT'S TIME.

TIME FOR A Z-MOVE.

[fallers_npcs]

Distantly, the sound of sleigh bells ring, and said sleigh with eight tiny reindeer--and a MUCH larger deer pulling it--slowly drifts across the sky.

The larger deer? That's Xerneas.

It sweeps up errant combatants with its horns, making sure they're wrapped together practically snug as children in their beds, or like a Christmas present! Festive, like the season they tried so hard to prevent.

For a brief moment, Sasha is visible, arms raised over her head and a fierce grin on her feline face, before she leaps up high into the air. Only a gleam can be seen, but then...

her haloed form, like the disco-ball in New York, sparkling as she descends swiftly to drive both fists into the hapless Revengers--the main dastards. Alas, Wes is also within Ground Zero of the Screaming Santa's Sleigh Suplex--but it isn't enough to put him down for the count.

It is, however, enough to knock him for a loop...

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter, luckily, isn't in the danger zone but that's only because his webshooters seemed to have jammed somehow so he takes a moment to get them to work again-smacking one with his palm and then there's a sudden spike from his sense and loud crack as the webshooter explode which cause him to yelp in surprise and now his hands are webbed together.

Well that.

Happened.

He looks helplessly at his hands and then at the scene but everything seems to be under control? He looks back at Tony, feeling his cheeks burning a little.

"Um... can you get the solvent?"

[nothing_can_stop_me]

And Della can't help but just gawk at the sight of what happened, Donald being flung against a wall by the explosion.

"Did uh... did we win?"

[luckydragonsfoot]

Yuume of course, is patiently waiting outside for her pokemon to come back- her work is done...sort of.

Back inside though, just before the strike occurs, Katsuya pauses mid-shoving. He sees red again, and more red, and then red-green-white-red-gree-

"LOOK-OUT!" he shouts, grabbing the pokemon nearest to him alongside Kaseri and pulling back. And just in time-

That sure is a SUPLEX! "Y...Yeesh..."

[revolutionhawk]

Both Shay and Scuttle can barely make sense of the chaos until their apparent savior shows up. The Cramorant recovered just fast enough to dodge the incoming Bubble Beam but then proceeded to become entirely lost without their trainer's direction on what to do next.

At the oncoming holiday Z-Move, Shay sharply whistles for the bird to return back to his side. Which is thankfully loud enough for Scuttle to obey and stay out of the line of fire.

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes is about to keep ripping and tearing, massacring the body of Mr. Electric, when he hears the loud holiday cheer and the roar of a Pokemon. Thankfully, he has no time to react because suddenly there's the most spectacular suplex the world has ever known.

It really was good of Jou to pull back Koffing and Morpeko because both Pokemon scream as their trainer is hit. Wes hisses as he's thrown back and slams directly into a shelf, knocking it over. He groans but staggers to his feet, and clasps his heart.

It was strange. The pain that came with going into Hyper Mode vs the cheer leaking from the holiday. Wes kneels down and grits his teeth, feeling his body throb painfully.

The Final Scene

[fallers_npcs]

"My stuff! My staff!" Exclaimed Viren, foaming at the mouth.

"Look at all this damage! You... you'll all pay for all of this! Get out of my store, you're going to ruin Christmas! For me!"

Viren was hopping mad, and it looked like he wasn't going to go with his previous deal, even though all of the Pokemon were down and his wrestling goons were down too.
