Season 2, Episode 4.2 - Dawn of the Second Day

[fallers_npcs]

“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.

BREAKING NEWS - Reactions

[fallers_npcs]

If you're watching TV, you're suddenly suddenly met with interruptions as news agencies go into breaking news.

"This just in - there has been an attack at the Sinnoh Conference meeting. Currently details are sketchy, but reports state that the meeting, meant to hash out problems between our world's governments and the governments housing the organization known as "Overwatch" was actually a plot by two of its benefactors, Justin Hammer and Flintheart Glomgold. According to both Ash Ketchum, Champion of the Alola Region, and Iris, newly-crowned Champion of the Unova Region, the recent actions were done as an attempt to smear the Aether Corporation to claim the Arceus Plates. Currently, the status of the other Champions have yet to be revealed..."

BROKEN ANGEL

[fallers_npcs]

This... this was terrible! How could Overwatch do something like this?!

Angela sat on a chair, watching the news reports in despair. Something didn't add up at all and it didn't sit right with Angela. But, what could she do?

If her organization was behind this, she couldn't rightfully go back to them...

But what could she do?

INVASION

[fallers_npcs]

As island took in the information, they were suddenly greeted by unwanted guests - the Blackwatch Soldiers under Glomgold's command. They were here for one thing and one thing only - to take control of the islands and anything Fallers-related. Then aim for Aether.

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.

EVENING - the 17th

[fallers_npcs]

Maxie stood at the entrance of Aether Foundation as it had been locked down for the attack. Standing with him were several Blackwatch members dressed in armor signifying Pokemon of Garchomp and Haxorus. Clearly these were the strongest they had.

He sighed, pushing his glasses up as he looked at his companion. "Agon, you know our mission. Correct? Secure the Plates."

Agon, a young man who stood next to Maxie, nodded as he released three Passimmian. "I've got it covered."

"Very well. Let the operation commence."

On cue, the Blackwatch men blew the door and stormed inside.

=====

On Melemele, closest Island to Aether Foundation, a storm was whipping up. A solid thunderstorm with pelting rain as the attackers continued to flood in.

But help has arrived finally.

Champion Ash has arrived with Champion Iris and their Pokemon. The teachers have managed to get people carefully inside the school before returning to the fray, and the Kahuna are holding the line.

"This doesn't look good," said Jack, punching out a soldier. "They're not going to let us go are they?"

"Keep battling," said Ash, his team tired already from their escape.

"There's got to be something we can do!" Exclaimed Iris.

As for you Fallers, you've been all pushed to the school as well. It seems that it is time for the Break Down.

But then, suddenly, a wall of shimmering light appeared, rippling reality as it passes through the ranks as a group of colorful men and women in bright blue uniforms appears. At the head of the ranks, a woman wearing a shimmering chestpiece stood there with a giant ape in bright armor.

"Cheers luv, the calvary's here!" Exclaimed Lena Oxton, releasing her Pokemon, a speedy Togedemaru as Overwatch raised a battle standard of the Pokemon World.

With the storm at their backs, push the enemy back till the dawn.

tired? come be tired.

Kaiba is a very cranky boy today.

He slept through most of the initial commotion, but it's grown too loud for him to continue to ignore. He's learned from his previous failure at charging in unprepared, so he's taken the time to heal his team, gather up his supplies, and make sure he's prepared first.

And everything's...a big mess. He can't find anyone in this dust cloud, so he climbs on Wheels, boosts Kisara on his shoulder, and moves in with a bag full of berries and potions.

Little does he know that he's pretty much sealing his doom.

"What a waste of time..."

On top of Aether Foundation, Kaitou sits, taking in the spectacle around him. People fighting everywhere.

"All this over a treasure he can't fully grasp or comprehend..."

Kaitou flips the Draco Plate in his hand, before slipping it back into the long pocket of his bag.

"Ms. Lusamine probably hasn't had time to properly spread the word. Perhaps its time to step out of the shadows again."

Taking aim at a group of Blackwatch goons, he fires on them.

how & why RS is There

[improvking]

The Ring-Spirit saw the news when it broke.

He fought a few of the invading troopers... stole some armor off the ones he knocked out... heard some interesting things over the radio in 'his' newly-acquired helmet...

And now he's at the Aether Foundation. Disguised in his stolen armor, attempting to blend in with the break-in.

~ There was a point where (SOMEONE??) needed to stop, but now everyone's past that point. So lets keep going and see what happens. ~
