Season 2, Episode 4.2 - Dawn of the Second Day
“Today’s meeting is in order,” said the man at the front of the table as the assembled members, staff, Champions and representatives sat down. “We’re all here to discuss the situation our two governments have proposed. Commander Morrison, you have the table.”
Jack Morrison stood at the circular table, clearing his throat. “Thank you Councilman. I am Jack Morrison, Commander of Overwatch. Our Earth’s government has requested that due to the state of the interdimensional flux, coupled with numerous intrusions of Pokemon, Ultra Beasts and the consistency of Team Rainbow Rocket incidents incurring on Alola, it can no longer, in good faith provide aid without a means of reparation. Our requests are as follows:
Article 1: Return of the Overwatch Members, Staff and Aid on site in Melemele Island effective as of January 15th.
Article 2: Access to Aether Foundation Research and Development on Interdimensional Travel, and Technology.
Article 3: Access to the Inter-spacial items known as Arceus Plates, and securing them for study in the Overwatch Technological Bay.”
At the end of the last bit, several members looked ready to protest as Jack laid down the folder. The man looked older than expected, a veteran of years and he seemed very much pained despite his order.
“Thank you Commander Morrison. The terms have been heard. A retort?”
“A retort is probably a bit of an understatement.” came the voice of Cynthia. “Access to the Arceus Plates would simply not do. These items are of interest towards those who worship Arceus itself and find the idea of those who were deemed unchosen to hold them to be… sacrilegious? Might be a bit harsh, but still…”
“Please, they’re just power generators,” scoffed one of the Representatives, a weedy man with a thin face and red hair. This made several of the Sinnoh reps beat their hands on the table angrily. “I’m only saying the truth! One of those could power an energy station for centuries and you’re just letting it whittle away in a church!”
“Representative Justin Hammer, that is clearly out of line,” said the officiary.
Justin Hammer shrugged. “Glomgold sees it my way.”
“Ye darn right I do!” Glomgold said. “Half of the stuff Aether is keeping locked up could do anything! I mean, even that ridiculous boot those soldiers brought back has enough power to light up a town and the one who wore it pretends to be a ‘superhero’!”
“We are not going to start converting everything those Fallers have into oddball power sources.” Cynthia said, sighing.
“And why the hell not.” said Justin, scowling. “I can do it. I have the tech, the means, I’m smarter than the Tony Stark they have on staff, I made all of those troopers, I can outwit anything they throw at us!”
“You’re out of line Rep Hammer, cool down,” said the officiary and Hammer bit down but sat down, if angrily.
Jack stood up again, trying to smooth over the situation. “Overwatch was meant to be a peacekeeping group. It’s in our charter, but this… this is out of line, even for us, and I take full responsibility.”
“If you intend on taking full responsibility, Mr. Morrison, then perhaps alternate plans are in order.” came the voice of Lance, Kanto’s champion. “We simply have no idea what will happen if the items are removed from this world. It could go far beyond than simple angry protests.”
“Eh, consequences, schmonsequences…” Glomgold said, dismissing Lance’s warning.
“You can’t honestly mean that!” Exclaimed a young voice from the side, Unova’s newest and most recent Champion, Iris who stood up, slamming her hands on the table. “I’ve seen what happens when a Legendary is upset! It can cause a whole lot of trouble, right Ash?”
“I’m gonna have to agree with Iris,” said Ash, nodding. “I’ve seen, battled, rode on, and commanded too many Legendaries into battle to even think of trying such a stunt. Even Arceus himself at his full strength is a frightening thing to have at your fingertips. Imagine what would happen if someone had half his power to run a city, let alone a third of it.”
Glomgold’s response? Daydreaming. Cackling like a loon at the idea.
“He’s a lost cause…” Cynthia said, sighing.
Flint, Sinnoh’s own Elite Four member, folded his hands. “What do you intend to do, Commander Morrison? You want to make amends, and yet you’ve been stonewalling us. What is it that you really want?”
Jack looked at the group of Champions, earnest eyes peering at them. “It was never our intent to occupy Alola, or force your people out. We were here to help, much like we said.”
“So?” asked Flint. “Why now? This seems sudden. To go about things so quickly.”
Jack seemed reluctant to reply, but then suddenly, Justin tossed a pencil on the table loudly. “Oh this dramatic tension! It brings tears to my eyes! You want to know the reason why he’s been forced to do this? It’s because his own best friend went MIA in a mission in your world. That’s right! And now his government wants to blame YOU ALL for it! Ain’t that great! My people, want to hold your people, responsible for the missing case of Gabriel Reyes… leader of Blackwatch.”
“And suddenly it all makes sense…” Cynthia mused. “Lose someone and demand a disproportionate consolation for it. This isn’t a means to work to further a goal, this is downright extortion!”
“Aye, and it’s quite glorious, too!” Glomgold said. “Needless to say, I don’t think there’s really any way to get around this. Matter of fact…!”
With that, the duck hops on the table, snapping his fingers. From the doors behind him and Hammer spilled out numerous other soldiers, wearing much more advanced Pokermors than before.
“I, Flintheart Glomgold, am taking over this operation as head of Blackwatch! Boys, it’s time to put away a bunch of champions!” the duck said. “Oh, and don’t think these are like the old ones, they’re much more stronger - you can thank your precious Guardians for that!” This was quickly met with the sounds of Pokeballs releasing various Pokemon to face them down.
“Ash, Iris!” Cynthia called out. “Take Mr. Morrison and get back to Alola! Warn Lusamine and the others we’ve been had!”
“No way, we can’t--!” Iris began to protest before Ash grabbed her arm.
“No time! Let’s go!” Ash said, leading the two out. As they left, they could hear Glomgold gloating in victory as Champions and Blackwatch soldiers begin their fight.
INVASION
This is your time, Fallers. Their armors are tougher than before, strengthened by your previous battles and a few spare pieces of Faller-tech. They will not go down easy.
Protect the islands. Protect your new home.
LIGHTS OUT
"Really, guys? When Jenny's in the bathroom? Classy." Zahra stares down the two Overwatch troopers in front of them with cold eyes, slowly gets up... and throws their chair into one's face, using their other hand to throw out a standard ball and a Premier Ball. "Horakhty. Hideo. Let's go."
But what's this? The Toxel, trembling, stands on two feet and snarls at the two troopers, her entire body glowing and changing and growing until... from the dust, the outline of an Amped Toxtricity can be seen alongside that of a Type: Null.
Aaaaaand said Toxtricity immediately begins blaring "Lights Out" by Mindless Self Indulgence from her speakers.
This is what we're doing then. Okay.
that's what we ALL call entertainment
These troopers are better trained than the mooks from before, and their partner swiftly moves to cover them - but then the Ring-Spirit pounces out of a bush (how long was he in there, why was he in there) and gets the second one into a chokehold. But can he maintain it?
...The Spirit is more interested in fiddling with the trooper's armor-fastenings than a proper fight.
no subject
"Horakhty, Tri-Attack, target two."
The Blackwatch soldier's partner reaches for their Pokéballs... only to get Frozen by Horakhty's Tri-Attack for a few moments, giving Zahra and the Spirit some breathing room. Zahra fishes around in their pockets, pauses, finds something, gets out a toolkit, and tosses the spirit a wrench.
no subject
He's caught off-guard by the incoming wrench. It's not that it hits him, so much as it takes him a couple grabs to establish a proper grip on it. The Carnivine-trooper takes advantage of the moment, twisting in the loosened hold. He manages to land a blow to the Spirit's shoulder, eliciting angered hissing in response. The trooper next reaches for his pokeballs, unaware of Necro's theft.
The mimikyu hesitates, unsure which trooper to target.
no subject
"Are you planning on actually getting to work on that armor with my wrench, or are you just gonna stand there gawking like a dumbass?"
no subject
It's not like he has to worry about running out of troopers though, so what the hell. Maybe the fastenings will make more sense after he's busted some apart and looked over the interior. He uses the wrench to thwack the downed trooper's helmet off... Ring-Spirit do you just not know how to use a wrench, what,,
The mimikyu decides to go for the frozen trooper before the status effect wears off, and whacks the trooper in the shins with her 'tail'. ...Shockingly enough, this does nothing useful whatsoever.
Re: LIGHTS OUT
But then, suddenly...
"Such lackluster spirit, all of you."
A massive, terrifying presence swept through the area as a crimson blade flashed and everything was bowled over. A tall man, eyes glowing red stood there, a katana, no, a single Mega-Evolved Aegislash in his hands was being sheathed like a samurai sword as it returned to his side.
Zenos yae Galvus, had arrived, even within his Elezen form. Deprived of his original form, he was weaker, yes, but no less powerful.
Bored out of his mind at the chaos around him, he tilted his head. "A spirit and a child, fused as one. My how the tables seem to turn, doesn't it? Tell me... for what do you fight for child?"
Zenos yae Galvus wants to battle!
Stormblood OST - Triumph
no subject
Zahra, thoroughly unimpressed by Zenos's antics, gives him an annoyed glare. Somewhere in between his dramatic sword sweep and them stepping over the unconscious body of a Blackwatch soldier, the Millenium Puzzle vanished from their neck.
"And no, I don't think I will. Normally, I adore giving speeches about the power of friendship and how Alola must be united, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it would be lost on you."
Zahra whistles, and Necro dashes out of the darkness, forming a Shadow Ball and launching it at the Aegislash, then deftly dodging its retaliation. The Puzzle gleams around their neck as they smirk with a surprising amount of malice for something so small and cute.
"We both know you're here to fight, ponyboy. So let's save the dramatic monologues for after one of us wins, yeah?"
no subject
And then everything around them was cut into pieces, armor, buildings, trees, pokeballs, clothing -- including the Millennium Puzzle which shattered into its component parts. "Have you met my true partner?" asked Zenos, completely bored. "He was so interested in my sword, he cut it in half. And then decided he wanted to cut more of it. Wouldn't you agree... Kartana..."
And a literal Ultra Beast floated into view, it's razor sharp hands lowering to the side as it muttered in satisfaction at cutting everything to pieces.
Zenos turned, Kartana floating by his side. "Call me again when you regain the fire in your eyes little one. I do so want to battle again."
no subject
Zahra falls to their knees, desperately picking up the pieces of the puzzle. No no no no no nonononononoNO he had to be okay he had to he had to be
Trembling, they glare up at Zenos, mustering what little anger can overtake their fear. "You better fucking believe we're going to have a rematch, you jackass. I'm going to tear you to pieces and let the Mandibuzz feast on your fucking entrails."
There's nothing hollow to their threat. Zahra truly means it.
Ready to Rumble
He didn't have any pokemon yet, but that wasn't stopping him either. With Crazy Diamond beside him he is lashing out at a few off the mooks, focusing on getting CD's punches in to reshape parts of their gear so that it was useless to them, even falling off. He managed to get a few bits of the armor, twisted loose with it's new shape, and pushed a couple of the back a step. "You don't have the right around here." He stated, knowing that much at least.
As he does so a pokemon he hasn't really seen before comes charging out, and headbutting one to force him another step back. The furfrou shook itself out and moved next to Josuke with a growl at the offending people, ready to fight beside the teen.
OH BOY
Yuume is typically a strong fighter. Decesive, brutal even. But the life here...it's been so calming, and been rocked so thoroughly. So many things have happened that she feels powerless against, and the despair eats at her heart.
It makes her pause in the fight- question her decisions, what they can do- and it's putting her on her last legs. "NH...Get out of here!" she finally shouts to her pokemon, the crowd of them pausing for but a moment. "Run, you're at the disadvantage!" Well. One of them isn't but all the same. Yuume fights- throws her sword clashing against attack after attack as the pokemon- Hatenna in particular- flee...
...But Hatenna pauses. Pauses, tears in their tiny eyes.
And the next thing they know, something glowing is charging forward- type advantage be damned, on all accounts, a hattrem flails their beady little hair-fists and SCREAMS with a Brutal Swing.
"H...Hatti..?" Despite all the odds...despite the obvious...
Yuume swallows, and with renewed vigor, roars. "HHHHHOOHHHHHH-!"
Soon enough, the goons are sent packing. Yuume may match their type, but ultimately her shadow and her pokemon are plenty enough for that!
She can be found, therefore, in the Aftermath. Wiping dirt from her Hattrem's 'hair'.
"You did so well, Hatti... ....I'm proud, neh?"
"Treeeee~"
no subject
And then an Inkay goes whizzing past them at blinding speed, not stopping until it hits a nearby tree trunk.
...
It's splintered.
no subject
Yuume is practically frozen mid congratulations. What the hell. What the fuck. What-
She turns, looking first to the tree, and then toward where it came from.
"...heh?"
no subject
And then another one skids in the dirt right next to them only seconds after Yuume looks to where it came flying from. Don't worry! It's also fainted! Yikes!
And here comes a third one, being pursued by...looks like a Ninjask. A high speed chase, huh?
no subject
...Uh.
"O...Oi...Oi, what's going on here..!?" she protests, her Hattrem meanwhile sitting upright with wide eyes. "Mn? Hatti?"
"Hatt...HAAAAAAATT..!!"
Hattrem is running....for where ninjask came from.
"H-Hatti, where are you going..!?"
no subject
Well. That sure is a familiar scream from the direction Hatti just ran towards. Once Yuume catches up, she's going to find a very strange sight.
There's supposedly a battle going on here, except all three Blackwatch grunts are Pokemon-less and terrified, and Sena's own team (minus Nin) are just kind of staring dumbfoundedly while in the middle of apprehending said grunts.
Sena himself is frantically dodging strikes from a furious Hatti, who keeps trying to swing at him without restraint.
"H-hey, waitwaitwaitwait who's Pokemon even are you - agh!"
no subject
Hm. She should call the pokemon off. "H-Hatti! Hatti! We need to focus on the enemy!" she shouts, only for the Hattrem to huff and turn a snubbing expression from poor Sena. "...Hatti..?" WHY!
FIGHTAN' AND EVOLVIN'
"Be grateful, will you? My daughter's a good girl, so I'm going to try to avoid making her sad, so I'll just break some of your bones."
The squad of Arbok Troopers she's facing down don't appear to appreciate her mercy, but OH WELL. Alice might not have her Arc with her, but it's not like she needs it to pull off a Dive. The sheer power packed into her leg muscles lets her yeet herself directly at the troopers, placing her in the middle of their formation before they can react. From there, a flurry of clearly untrained but hard hitting blows from her fists and feet put them down as her Pokemon take out the Ekans they had with them - Liddell smacking one into unconsciousness with a hammer of psionic energy (a Calm Mind boosted Stored Power) before using Baton Pass to give Yarn a massive boost, letting the Mareep take out another one with an Electro Ball.
Bullet, meanwhile, simply waded through the Ekans' Acid blasts before battering it into submission. As Alice finishes knocking out the Troopers, she glances over at her team and smiles before blinking in confusion as Bullet starts to glow.
When the glow dies down, Bullet is a Metang.
Re: FIGHTAN' AND EVOLVIN'
Suddenly, it began to rain in the battlefield as Rain Dance soaked the area, changing the environment as a man dressed in blue strode forward. "Well this is interesting," he said, chuckling as his Sharpedo floated next to him, along with a Tentacruel and a Walrein next to his other side. "You lot can't handle a single woman with your armor, and your so-called trained Pokemon can't handle their Pokemon."
"Lucky for me, I'm on loan."
Team Rainbow Rocket Admin Archie Wants to Battle!
Battle Ultra Sun - Aqua/Magma Leader Theme
"Sharpedo, Ice Beam on Metang! Tentacruel, Sludge Bomb on Indeedee! Walrein, Rock Tomb on Mareep!" Commanded Archie.
no subject
Is this guy seriously a pirate.
Some ice builds up on Bullet's new forearm from the attack, but it's ignored. A series of Light Screens pop into existence around the battlefield, and Bullet simply smashes its forearm against one to shatter the ice.
Liddell, being Alice's highest level Pokemon, isn't as hurt by the Sludge Bomb as she could have been and instead opts to ignore the pain and pull off another Calm Mind. Yarn just barely manages to get a Cotton Guard up in time to avoid being taken out of the fight but is wobbling on his hooves.
no subject
On cue, the earth buckles down as it rumbles and rolls and explodes in a crashing wave towards Alice and Alice's Pokemon as his own Pokemon leaped high into the air.
"Mega Evolution!" Roared Archie, clasping his hands in front of himself as Mega Sharpedo coalesced into being from the Sharpedo, ready to pounce on the first target.
no subject
A few strands of Yarn's golden wool are still clinging to the stones from the Rock Tomb attack, and Bullet scoops them up with a Confusion and brings them hammering down on the walrus-like Pokemon.
Liddell and Yarn, meanwhile, are taking advantage of their secure vantage to launch a Stored Power and an Electro Ball at...some of the Light Screens?
The screens weaken noticeably from the attacks, but hold together, their slightly angled surfaces sending them ricocheting into the air where the Stored Power smashes into the Tentacruel and the Electro Ball hits the Mega Sharpedo.
no subject
"Oi you scrubs, walk it off! You called me up for this?" he demanded, kicking one of the downed Blackwatch men. "Tch. Hey miss, you should probably see to better things than fighting me. There's a storm coming. And it ain't gonna be pretty."
And with that, he gestured towards a storm which seemed to be brewing on the horizon, near the Aether Foundation as thunder rumbled overhead. "It's gonna rain, and water cleanses everything in this world. But do you think you can waste time battling me, when there's things happening over there?"
