Episode 2: A Rainbow Sparkling in the Sky

[fallers_npcs]

Today marks a momentous occasion for the Fallers. While the Music Festival has begun on the Island, and the Museum of Arts and History are exhibiting a new exhibit, all of the Fallers have been summoned to the Pokemon School for a very important request by their Rotoms.

"Thank you all for coming," said Burnet, standing in the classroom with the children of Ash Ketchum's class. "As you know, we of Alola have faced many challenges here, with the Ultra Holes opening up. Even now, more Fallers appear day by day. That is why, with the recent acceptance of the Totem Pokemon and their declaration, we have decided to extend our request."

Sliding up the chalkboard, there was a huge button behind the chalkboard as part of the classroom slid open to reveal an elevator. "Please, if you would step forward and take the elevator down."

Once downstairs, the Fallers would find themselves in a huge Command Center, filled with highly advanced technology as a Chansey greeted them, with a new crop of Meltan from nowhere. "Chansey!" She exclaimed, pressing a button as a holographic display appeared. Someswhere in the middle of it, the Alola School Children had been clothed in Armor on the way down, and they saluted Lusamine who appeared on the display.

"Alola, Ultra Guardians. Alola, Fallers. I'm Commander Lusamine, of the Ultra Guardians. And I have a request for you all. I'd like for you all, no, I humbly request for you to join the Ultra Guardians in some capacity, to defend Alola and find a way home for you, as well as defend the Island from Ultra Beasts. We are facing a sudden International Crisis of unprecedented levels, and I wish to explain..."

By now, Yotsuyu realized that her Pokemon were not going to be able to do much damage to this Venusaur mecha--although she still held out hope for Ajisai, who'd done so well so far.

But first things first.

"Gosetsu! Tail Whip!" She blessed the kami silently that her Oshawott was an agile little fellow, who leapt forward, performed the move, and leapt back.

"Now, Ajisai, once again! Bonemerang!" By now, it was not the allure of damage that called Yotsuyu to ask her Cubone to make that move--but the hope of making the mecha itself flinch. If only...

Yuume is flagging, unfortunately. She knows she's landed somewhere. She also knows fighting is still happening. Vaguely, she thinks she can recognize Seto, but....

"N...nnhh..."

Yuume, unfortunately, is passing out.

Has, passed out.

Audino however is still conscious and kicking, and her trainer being in such dire straights only spurs her onward. With a feral bunny roar she charges, tiny fists smacking against the legs of the robot with all her secret-power-might. Go down!! Go down, you horrible machine!!

Peter is thrown towards a wall but with a bit of quick thinking he's able to shoot out a web and keep himself from smashing into it. He grabs the building and pulls out a pokeball.

"Hey Peeves, you like possessing stuff right? Go get it!" He tosses the ball and Peeves the Rotogeist does its favorite thing-which is possess the giant robot. This is fun! Look how bit it is now!

Well, it's under control for now. At least until Peeves decides to play with it. Before he can figure out his next move, a familiar voice fills his ears. Mr Stark!

"Hey kid! I'm kinda stuck in the ground right now so here, deal with the big honking bot for me. I'm sending you something fun. Karen? Unlock the suit."

"Yes sir." Karen replies, and in the next moment there's a wae of nanobots flying at him and like some bizarre dream, Peter finds himself piloting the Iron Man suit.

"Oh my god! This is awesome!" Peter exclaims, looking down at the Iron Man gauntlet now incasing his hand. "Okay, Peeves, let it go, I'm gonna blast it in its face. Karen-or-uh Friday? Whatever. Whoever. Increase flight power to fifty percent."

"Peter, Are you you sure that's-" Friday starts to cut in.

"I'll be fine, do it!" Peter waves the warning off.

The flight power increases dramatically and Peter shoots right through a billboard and straight into the mecha bot with a painful thud.

"Ow..." He whines before sliding down the metal bot and then falling to the ground.

"Multiple contusions detected." Friday informs.

"Yeah, thanks. I noticed." He whines again.

"Possible concussion detected. Alerting Mr Stark." Karen informs.

“Gligar-Man!”

Sorry, Peter, you guys spoke just once a while back and Trip kind of confused you with an unrelated comic book character (again... I mean, just spider is weird, it’s like calling an animal by its scientific name). But it’s a show of concern anyway!

Speaking of which..
“Vanillite, get him out of danger.”
“Vanillite!” it said seriously, trying to salute with too short arms, before cheerfully floating over and attempting to pull Peter along... a little too small and slow!

Sunny Day, we’ve got to bust that robot!

“Serperior, go! Solar Beam on that thing!”

Serperior emerged and immediately glowed with sun-white energy, firing it at the robot. But without the need to collect that energy, the robot also fired back its own beam with similar ease. The two Solar Beams met with a blinding flash and both surging powers struggled to overtake the other... the situation seemed like it might lead build to a dangerous conclusion, but remained at a standstill.

While Trip worried about the outcome, he felt a strange chill and caught a glimpse ofltowering ice from the corner of his eye.

“SUBZERO SLAMMER!!”

The small white fox-like Pokemon at the peak sent down a blast of cold air and ice crystals that froze over the entire battlefield, as a beam cuts through to the robot. Ultra Guardian Lillie had used her Z-Move and the combined attack overpowered the robot, allowing Serperior’s Solar Beam to finally reach its target.

[fallers_npcs]

The Tail Whip did it's job, debuffing the robot's defense as Monte plowed into it with the Devil's Backfire. It staggered under the rapid fire impacts, the plating unable to withstand the Fire attacks which were amplified by the Sunny Day's effect. Bonemerang slammed into it's arm, shattering it completely as Serperior's Solar Beam fired down the middle of the pack.

The mecha tried to counter with it's own Solar Beam and for a moment from the other hand and it clashed, but from the side, a wave of freezing ice from Lillie's Z-move blasted into it's legs, causing it to topple forward into the Devil's Backfire and pitch backwards off balance as the Solar Beam went into the sky, and Serperior's beam sheared off the other arm.

Even with Spider-Man slamming into it's chest making a sizable dent, it was sparking, damaged, still standing but the feet was cracking and creaking with ice damage. One more good hit and it was down for the count. At this moment however, it decided to start its own counter attack and fired a Seed Bomb, raining attacks onto the battlefield -- or it would have if not for the Beat Sonic slamming into each and every Seed Bomb and then slamming fully into the robots chest, staggering it to its knees.

One final hit, even with both its arms blown off, the robot was still moving.

[fusionactuallysuitsher]

“Puff!” The Jigglypuff was not going to let this go without it getting in a hit. It was sore from the Toxic, but still willing to fight!

To “Zuzu”’s shock, it charged forward, delivering a powerful Pound attack.

“Jeez, such a tough thing...” she uttered

[blue_ice]

Over on the hill, Kaiba is doing his best to wiggle free from under his niece. He carefully lays her down and rises up to view the battle...there goes Peter flying, Adora's still out cold, the team is on the ropes...it's time to go hard.

And his tiny little goo dragon agrees. She makes a small cry of distress, then puffs up a little to her full size...which is still only up to Kaiba's knee. She lets out a loud cry and small meteorites come shooting from the sky, targeting the other leg.

Draco Meteor. Huh.

short tag!

[serperiority]

"Serperior, Dragon Tail on that robot!"

Serperior's tail glowed with gathered energy, glowing, before it launched itself into the air and swung it like a sharpened blade on the sparking robot.

[shadowslipping]

Audino has had enough. She's tired. Sore. Everything is a mess.

And most of all she's mad, and Yuume can't even see this. So Audino, frustrated past their limit, lets loose.

She screams, a Disarming Voice, the sound itself crunching into the metal up ahead.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Monta's Dynamaxing has dealt a great deal of damage to the robot, and everyone else's attacks are breaking it apart, piece by piece. Sena darts back, gaining some distance from the falling mecha, as he calls out to the rest of his team.

"Guys! Let's take this thing down once and for all! Monta, coordinate your attacks with everyone, and Backfire again!"

Mukyeaaaaa! Monta's war cry as he jumps back is certainly something to hear, and as Portus starts using Psychic to gather up the attacks fired off by Sena's other Pokemon, Anabel seems to catch onto what's happening. Her Alakazam does the same with any other attack it can grab, and the attacks all start blending into a rainbow-colored whirl that starts wrapping itself around Monta's fists.

"Monta, NOW!"

KYEEEAAAAAAAA!!! Monta jumps into the air, cloaking himself in another Flare Blitz, the blue fires completely taken over by the multicolored energy around his fists as Monta lands on the mecha, pelting it with repeated Close Combat blows.

The impact seems to be the last straw for the mecha. It shatters into many small pieces as if it was made of glass instead of the sturdy metal it actually was made of. The pieces themselves are...strange. Like...small pieces of light, like rainbows. Even when they fall all over a nearby Peter, they don't seem to do any harm.

How odd.

WRAP UP

[fallers_npcs]

Several minutes later, after the Team Rocket members were cuffed and led away and their Pokemon corralled into their Pokeballs, Looker turned to the exhausted people as medical doctors both human and Pokemon came to their aid. "Good job everyone," he said. "Though it didn't go as according to plan, we were simply uninformed of the sheer scale of this attack."

He looked at Ash's Rotom who hovered nearby who displayed an image on his screen of a melee. "Rotom recorded it, but the Mecha, along with at least three dozen Team Rainbow Rocket members ported in. Tony and his Pokemon, along with the Ultra Guardians engaged it, but were outmatched by its sheer tenacity. We had to fall back to a safer distance once the Mecha put him into the ground."

"That's not all. The Mecha also defeated Team Rocket's Mecha Bewear X," added Jenny. "Straight up destroyed it with a single punch. And their mecha went toe to toe with a Ultra Beast."

"Which means the mecha you faced, can go toe to toe with an Ultra Beast. If it weren't for our new Dynamax Equipment and your teamwork, we would have lost. Thank you Fallers for defeating it and Team Rainbow Rocket. Even with our losses."

Looker glanced at Yuume and Adora and Tony on the stretchers and more medical people going to the injured. "We'll get them to the General Hospital immediately. You can check in with them in an hour once they're out of critical."
