The Multiverse

Setting

Lumiose City is a dazzling metropolis of art and artifice, located in the very heart of the Kalos region. Museums, restaurants, movies, stores and other sights--There are very few things you can't find in Lumiose. As with most of the Kalos region, Lumiose is not a center for technology and pales greatly compared to say Unova. Most famously is Prism Tower, monument and the city's gym all in one.

The shriek that came from the Lugia was immense, channeling the power of the storm into her fury as she flew and decimated the hordes of orks down below. She banked and turned to use the buildings to absorb their fire from the strange devices they carried. Many of them were falling to the pokemon down below but soon found herself assaulted in the skies by the twelve storm boyz up above. Her eyes narrowed as she took off higher into the sky, being drawn away from the battle for but a moment before she looped around in a circle and opened her maw to unleash a powerful Aeroblast directed at the twelve orks. Her wings stopped flapping as she barreled into them hard then opened her wings to let the powerful surge of air catch her.

Their technology couldn't compare to one who lived and breathed in the skies and it soon became clear. From down below, winged pokemon a plenty took to the air and rained down fire and ice, lightning upon the orks and the remaining storm boyz. This battle was certainly turning in their favor. But Lugia's eyes were set on the Ork Warboss at the center of their lines. She would let out a loud clarion call and then felt a streak of lightning hit her from the tower. She let out a scream of agony as she drew her attention away from the battle and flew towards the tower. Enraged, she took in a deep breath and unleashed a powerful Aeroblast to bring the tower's main lightning conductor down. But the burn did take a good deal of energy away from her and soon she lowered her altitude to be able to recover, nestled within the city.

'I need time to rest. Please give me time to recover my strength'

She called out to the people.

"'Oi boss! 'Da boyz got swatted down from 'da skies!" A Kommando spoke as it filled his bag full of scrap ripped straight from the many machines laying around. "'Oi! 'da gitz 'un 'da ground I'z gettin' krumped!" Another Kommando called out.

"'Den get 'da Mekboy git to 'urry up before we'ze get duffed!" The Nob spoke as he continued to loot the power plant.

As the fire and lightning rained from the skies, and walls of fire impeding bullets. Ork boyz soon began to break ranks as their numbers were thinning out into much smaller groups. Their morale breaking however they were going to regroup if they gathered again.

"Not much longer now! We got 'em on the defensive! Now's the time to charge their lines with that goat thingy!" "Uh, Gogoat." "Whatever, kid, I'm not from around here. Time to cut loose with whatever ya got left!" "Gogoat are too mellow and calm for that! That one's not even battle ready, it's for touring the city!"

Terrance was soon proven right as the Gogoat knew when to lose its temper. Lowering its head and pawing the ground, a single Take Down was enough to send a squad of orks flying into the distance like so many bowling pins. Even Essentia, the local superhero, was more than capable of holding back her share of the horde, together with a Crobat moving almost too fast to see, let alone aim at.

"What the hell was that? We got snipers?!" "Nope, that was an Aerial Ace." "Remind me never to piss you guys off," Terrance said a bit sheepishly. "Get the wounded to that building with the red roof, I see a lot of people running there to get their Pokeymans or whatever juiced up and ready to go again. If they have reinforcements, they should be calling for 'em pretty soon. I need a squad to cover me, we need to secure any buildings with an upstairs like the hotel and the museum--gotta get the high ground before they get it to use on us. Three more to go and take the train station...I dunno where it goes, but we can use it both to get away and possibly to bring in our own backup. We can win this."

Fortunately, there was another force ready to tag in for the recovering Lugia...

The Orks would be suddenly blindsided by another wave of Pokemon coming from the other direction. Just as varied in type make-up, this band of Pokemon were strictly wildings of many shapes and sizes, launching ranged attacks of all degrees at their foes. Leading this fresh charge of stronger Pokemon was the uncanny appearance of a Rapidash being ridden by what else than a Pachirisu with a spark of glee in her eye. Supplying support from above was the sparkling eyed stare of an Emolga, who unleashed his mighty battle cry.

"CRIMSON GUILD, HO!"

The Crimson Guild had arrived. Almost immediately the wave segmented itself into multiple teams of two, three, or four. Each team was enough to take on an Ork apiece. Their strategies came out and they began unleashing their own strategies upon the splitting Ork Forces. Some performed the divide and conquer technique. Other bull-rushed head-on into the opposing forces. As for the three leaders of the charge, they rained their own fire and lightning storm upon a hefty bunch, Electro Balls proving most effective for Pachirisu and Emolga due to their overbearing speed advantage they had over the Orks while the Rapidash sealed the deal with Fire Blasts straight from her engulfed muzzle. Their mood was surprisingly light.

"Missed one over there," the Emolga jabbed at the Pachirisu as he provided a follow-up Electro Ball.

"What? No I didn't," came her indignant reply as she shifted position on the back of the Rapidash, "Stop lying!"

"You sure did," Skyball replied with a wink as he tossed another Electro Ball to their right, "And that one, too."

"Well that's because you're distracting me!" Lumi shot back.

"Because you're letting yourself get distracted," Skyball recited one of their leader's favorite lines towards her. Lumi huffed.

"Oh, stop. I'm still ahead of you."

"How?"

"I got ten of them coming into the city."

"I think you're exaggerating."

"CAN WE FOCUS, PLEASE?!" the Rapidash had enough of the bickering. It showed with an angry Flame Charge directed at the mass of Orks in front of her. "You guys aren't even attacking anymore!"

"Rubira, this is important," Skyball replied as he picked up a disheveled brick and heaved it towards another Ork.

"Pretty sure saving the city takes priority over this little KO Contest you guys have going!"

The bickering stopped and the fighting resumed for a moment. And then Rubira interjected with, "Besides....I'm winning."




While the battle continued to be enforced in favor of the Pokemon, four Pokemon met in the center square, looking for the Lugia they had seen take the skies earlier. On the right were the dynamic duo of Pert and Meryl, the Plusle and Minun that grew stronger the closer they were to one another. Each fed off the other's charge, magnifying it tenfold until in encapsulated the entire courtyard. Pert had a permanent smile in his face while Meryl kept a concentrated look as she scouted about, her mouth forming a small frown. Keeping an eye behind them to make sure they weren't being followed by Orks was Tag, the fastest Turtwig who ever ran. Eyes keen and alert, he darted around, scouting out potential flanks and hidden alcoves where enemies could strike while keeping up with the group. The Power Boots he donned to wear helped immensely in this regard. And leading the group was the most enigmatic Pokemon ever. A standard Chimchar with an all too calm demeanor about him. He held a Power Bat in his grasp and kept a stance like he could be ready for anything anyone wanted to throw at him. And his eyes...his gaze was focused, but relaxed...not worried in the slightest.

This was Crimson.

"Hey, I forgot to mention at the HQ," Crimson called back to Pert and Meryl, "Good eye on seeing those creatures drop in."

"Wasn't that hard," Meryl played him off, "You see a number of fireballs descending from the sky and you go 'Huh...whazzat?' And boom...here we are."

The Chimchar chuckled, "One of these days, you're going to accept a compliment and when you do, I'm holding a festival in the Pokemon Village."

Meryl shrugged, "Cool. I probably won't show up."

"I see the Lugia!" Tag called from the Western part of the center of Lumiose City, peering down towards Magenta Plaza. There, the Lugia was nestled, recovering it's strength and preparing itse;f to hop back into the action.

Immediately, the four began running down the street and within a moment, was before the massive Legendary. "Greetings," Crimson spoke to Lugia, "We are here to help fight of this invasion. I've already got some of my team fighting off the Orks with more on the way."




"Over there! The Power Plant!"

It was only a team of three that would approach the Orks in the badlands, but a very capable three nonetheless. A Shaymin in Sky Form was descending from the skies, already tossing Energy Balls in the direction of Orks. From it's back stood a Dedenne, unleashing a Charge Beam in the same vicinity. Providing the flank was the bodacious Togetic, the prehistoric might of Ancient Power breaking into the ranks from afar.

"Let's rain down some hell on these guys!" Gambit the Togetic was saying as he felt his body swell in power from the use of Ancient Power.

"Team Vitality needs reconnaissance in the northwest area outside of Lumiose City!" Dee the Dedenne sent out an electrical signal from her whiskers to any Pokemon in a five mile vicinity. "Crimson Guild, repeat, Team Vitality needs recon in the Badlands!"

"Oi! Leg in you gitz! Boss wants all 'da boyz back to the power placey building!" A hulking Ork Nob shouted as the Orkz began to retreat back to the power plant.

As Orkz began to storm into the building the biggest hulking Komamndo Nob began to shout his order. "Listen up you'ze Gitz! I'z want all 'da Nobs 'ta gather scrap and snazz up your kits! 'Da rest 'Uv 'da boyz grab all 'da gunz 'da Mekboy snagged with 'im! We'ze still need 'ta loot 'da place and juice up 'da Tellyporta pad!" The Ork then gave a heart WAGHHH! Followed by the remaining orkz also roaring and taking up positions by windows. Armed with a plethera of Rokkits, Deffguns and a bunch of shoota's the power plant was now a small gun fortress with the ork numbers being in the double digits.

For the Kommando Nob, He began to head to the center of the power plant as the remaining boyz outside hurried indoors to saftey.

The fighting outside did not go un-noticed by the Luiga nor was she actively stopping her assault. The Lightning had done some significant damage to her and she was still weak but with the aid of the rain and the ground beneath her bulk. She could infact feel herself getting better and soon. she was not laying on the ground any longer. She opened her wings and shifted them and was about to take flight before she spied the four small pokemon approach her. Her head lowered just a bit as she inspected the four with a quizzical look on her face. These were certainly new...

'Any aid would be welcome in this encounter...I am still recovering as quickly as I am able. I need but a few more minutes until I can truly take flight once more. That human's lightning bolt did not do me any favors'

She spoke via telepathy to the four and laid herself down once again so she could be at eye level with them. They were so small and so fragile looking yet here they were on the field. How very brave and which elicited a nuzzle to each of them from the Legendary

'Where are the monster's now exactly?'

She asked, lifting her head to try and see over the city but failing to do so. She looked rather haggard at this point.

"Sounds like the rest are holing up wherever they can. Gonna be a bitch to root them out, especially with all that spray and pray," Terrance lamented. A girl on roller skates crouched with him inside the second floor of the museum, the other two blown to bits by what the invaders seemed to call dakka.

"Shit. Sounds like they took the power plant. The winds are unpredictable and there's no cover out there save for a couple of natural canyons," panted the woman who was spattered with blood herself. "This is why we settle our fights with Pokémon battles. Nobody has to die over this stuff."

"Can't hear you through the hangover," Terrance retorted. "Okay. We don't know if those canyons are foxholes or kill boxes. We need some sort of air support to occupy them and let a small team breach the perimeter. Got any birds that can deliver a pick-me-up to the big one in the center of town?"

"Lugia's sitting right by the Gym. Leader Clemont should be on scene right now along with his aides to provide support."

"So is this Clemont guy like the mayor or something?"

"Pretty much. He also has contacts in the regional government that can--"

"That's all I need to know. You skate faster than I run, so haul your ass to him and explain the situation. Maybe bring some medicine for the big one. Looks like the wild ones are organizing a strike force themselves. It's almost time for the final assault...we need everybody following the same game plan. It'd be a suicide run if we tried to take the plant now without doing something about those turrets. I may not be from around here, but I know how to fight a war."

Magenta Plaza - Lumiose City


Crimson gave a pat of reassurance to the massive Lugia as he answered, "I'm not entirely sure-"

"We've got 'em on the run!" a shout emerged from behind them. All four whizzed around to see a young Galvantula calling to them from the central plaza, "They're heading for the Power Plant."

"Thanks for the update!" he called back as the Galvantula continued chase. Crimson shrugged and let loose an easy smile as he turned back to the Lugia, "Well, there ya go. Ask and ye shall receive." He turned to Tag, his expression serious once more. "Tag, catch up with them and get a good look on what's going on there."

With a nod, Tag bolted down the street, fast as a blur. He was gone before anyone could count to three.

"Pert and Meryl, you guide the remaining members in that direction. Also see if you can get in touch with Sarik and find out how close he is to Lumiose. Guide him and the Sunrise Brigade towards the Power Plant." When the Plusle and Minun took off towards the Central Plaza, it was just Crimson and the Lugia remaining.

"Don't worry. Rest until you're ready to hop back in the action. We can handle these guys until then." Crimson reached into a pack by his side and held out a few Oran Berries for the Lugia to take. "This'll probably help, if you need it."




Power Plant - The Badlands


Tag was onto the scene in less than two minutes from when Crimson asked him to join up with the other Crimson Guild Members. About half of their original crowd were already there, viewing the Power Plant from the distance. Others were filtering in behind them, catching up from the directional advice Pert and Meryl were providing from within the city. A few had already spotted Tag and were spouting off information to him.

"They ran that way!"

"They're holed up in the Power Plant over there!"

"Every entrance is covered!"

Tag was also examining the building from afar. It was easy to do across the bare landscape that was the Badlands. Nothing but tiny sand dunes and the occasional large bush for cover. They were out of range from most of the bullets the Orks could throw their way, but they knew fire would rain down upon them if they got too close. And since Tag didn't know what weapons they were packing...best not to chance it.

He knew he could zoom through the canyon and likely make it to the Plant without a scratch. He was fast enough. But he wasn't strong enough to take out the entire legion by himself. They needed the numbers to hold any kind of threat against the Orks. This is just like taking down the Psychic Rebellion Stronghold back on Mohka... Tag realized.

And so he drew the parallel to that day.

"Right!" Tag stepped in front of the Crimson Guild, who was mostly there. All eyes turned their attention to the Vice Leader, more than familiar with who he was at this point. "We need a distraction to keep the Orks busy! Charging through the Badlands is a bad idea, so we're gonna take to the skies. Any and all Flying-Types need to hover around the Power Plant to find any entrances you can for us to exploit and keep their attention off of us. The agile ones are best for this job. Anyone who is confident they can do the same from the ground, I won't stop you from doing so. I wouldn't recommend it, though. I don't even think Crimson could dodge that many bullets." He made that warning clear for those brash enough to try and do the distraction bit from the ground level before continuing.

"Meanwhile, we needed a silent way to intrude. How many Ground-Types do we have among us?" A good number of members stepped forward. "How many of you know how to Dig?" Half of these Ground-Types stepped back. "You guys will be the first infiltration team. Make your way to the Power Plant by digging underground. You guys will try to find a way to sneak in or barge in, whatever needs to happen first. We'll be getting support from the Sunrise Division soon, guys!" Tag turned around and exhaled audibly before he began his charge through the Badlands, "LET'S GO!"

"CRIMSON GUILD, HO!" the cries of many Pokemon called from behind as they began to move. All the Flying-Types took to the skies and were upon the building within moments. They began to circle around, seeking an access point into the building and firing ranged projectiles into the windows and open doors where the Orks camped out. All the while, they taunted the Orks with their bodies and dared them to try and hit them with their guns. Those that could dug underground and began to make their steady approach to the Power Plant in secret. Those that were brave enough to play the dodging game from the surface were Tag, Team Volt (Lumi, Rubira, and Skyball) a speedy Frogadier, and a brash, but agile Aipom. None were faster than Tag though, as his blur of motion would prove to be the hardest to hit.

"Hey, where did Team Vitality go?" Tag called back to Team Volt as they began to get within range of the Power Plant's vision.

The three shrugged and began looking around. Of all the Crimson Guild Members around, one of their most Elite Teams weren't even present among them.

The Lugia nodded a few times to Crimson and looked up as the new arrival made their report of their location. She shook her head a few times and reached out with her maw to scoop up the berries with her tongue to eat. Taking in a deep breath, she rose up to her full height once more and stretched before letting out a loud cry, sounding like a singing whale to announce her recovery. The doctors whom were there spread away as the Luiga seemed to be almost fully recovered from the blast of Lightning. Her eyes turned down to Crimson and soon a psychic aura enveloped him and set him onto her neck so she could carry him.

Her wings beat hard, renewing the gale around them into a torrential downpour as Lugia once more took to the skies. She flew lower to the ground to make sure if the Chimchar fell off, he wouldn't be seriously injured.

'Hold on tightly'

She instructed as her rear fins went flat onto her back to streamline her body. She accelerated faster, the raindrops breaking upon her nose as she called out again into the skies while letting the rain soothe away her remaining wounds. Relieved finally, she opened her fins once more and circled around the plant, looking for something with which to gain entrance.

'This place is important...look for a way inside so I might gain entrance'

She commanded the Chimchar while she circled around the plant high in the sky. Down below the other wild pokemon would form a circle around the plant, waiting for the chance to strike. With Lugia back in the field, hope was rekindled as she sung to the crowds down below. Now all she would need to do is find them a way inside and past the Orkish defenses...if there were any at all.

'''Oi! Oi! Oi! In 'da skies! Flying 'fings! Dakka 'dem down! Fill 'em full 'o 'oles boyz!" An ork boy shouted as gunfire erupted from every possible window. Deffguns began to fire in a machinegun like manner filling the skies with bullets, Rokkits, rocket propelled explosives shot into the air three at a time which randomly exploded at times, along with the usual shoota gunfire from below.

It seemed that every every entrance was covered, but that meant that what few numbers they had left the inside would be sorta empty. However getting past the fortress of bullets would be the challenge.

Of course inside the power plant, small little grots began to pile scrap onto some sort of makeshift platform with energy random arcing out very unstably. "'Oi...boss, I'z 'it a snag...I'z forgot 'ow 'ta finish 'da Tellyporta pad..." The Mekboy scratched his head as he forgot how to finish the machine.

"'Oi you git...'dat I'z no snag...'da real snag I'z if it duns work by 'da time 'da pokeyman gitz get 'ere! I'Z GONNA SHOW YOU'ZE A REAL SNAG!" The ork brute shouted. "Uh...right boss! I'z got a plan! I'z came with a plan! You'ze gots 'ta but me lotz 'o time! I'z can figure it out!" The Mekboy nodded as he began to fumble with more makeshift machinery.

Finally, Terrance's luck ran out. One of the lucky shots the orks were hoping for got him in the leg. "Ahh! Fucking asshole! I'm not okay! Take this!" He uncorked one of his "bonus packages" and lobbed it at the machine gun nest. The resulting explosion caused one of the corpses to fall right through the street, revealing a dark corridor underneath. And were those...skulls in the walls?

"Oh my god...what the hell is that place?"

"That's the Catacombs. About 3000 years ago, there was a war, and..."

"History lesson later. Get everybody down there, it's great cover. Your Pokémon look like they can take a bullet or two, but I had to leave my super-suit at home. They gotta clean up the city, and then we can start tending to the wounded like myself. Everyone else, I know it's spooky, but we gotta get underground. Looks like the wild ones have a plan for taking out the plant. You find any bodies, just toss 'em down here."

Around the Power Plant...


Things were going about as well as could be expected. For all the numbers they had, only a select amount could make the approach to Power Plant unscathed. Tag was easily the first one, darting around with a mastery of serpentine and crouching low under the building entrances. Upon arrival to the base of the building, he gazed up, making sure nothing was aimed towards him, but it seemed like their attention was directed towards the skies for the most part. Another benefit of still being a Turtwig, he thought as he sneaked around, searching for an entrance to exploit. He could still be stealthy.

Team Volt was having a slightly tougher go of it. Rubira could gallop at a pretty intense pace, but she lacked in the mobility department. There was little to no fire directed their way, luckily, so it wasn't a problem yet. But she dared not get any closer to make spray and pray all the more difficult for them. While she rode around in a circle around the plant, Lumi and Skyball were flinging their own projectiles into the windows from afar. Most of them were Electro Balls as that proved to be the most effective source of fire, given their massive speed advantage. But occasionally Skyball would find a rock on the ground and Fling it at them...just to mix things up. A few shots would hit and lower the rate of fire considerably. One would even kill. But they were going to need a bit more firepower than that if they wanted to take them out from the ground.

Most everyone else had to stay on the far outside perimeter, throwing long range projectiles if they could and waiting for an opening to charge into the complex in.

Above the Power Plant...


The Flying-Types were doing their job. They received most of the onslaught of bullets as they swarmed around like they were in a dogfight. However, there was much concern in the lack of numbers they had doing this. A good fifteen of them were maneuvering through a swarm of bullets being fired by more than 3 dozen Orks. Their all-out "spray and pray" method proved to be easier to dodge, but it wasn't impossible. A Pidgeot was hit by a rocket blast, taking in about average damage from it while an Aerodactyl had to retreat from a couple wounds gained from a few bullets. They needed more support from the air.

Among the Flying-Types was Crimson riding on Belana. For Crimson, this was a surprisingly new experience for him. All this time he'd been a Pokemon and throughout all the adventures he'd been on with other of all types, he'd never been on the back of a Pokemon who could fly. A very rocky start at first, given he'd nearly fallen off when she launched herself in the air, but with the aid of the Psychic energy around him, he managed to hang on. Now he had adapted to his new surroundings and was fairly comfortable on the back of Belana...so much so that he could hang on with one hand and hold the Power Bat up in the other. It...almost felt kind of nice with the view he had.

Unfortunately, he was on a mission. He didn't have time to enjoy the new perspective he was adopting as he used it to his advantage by looking around the complex. Every window had a gun of some kind sticking out of it and firing bullets of all kinds. One was shot in their general direction. Crimson deflected it with the Power Bat.

"How about there?" he pointed within the Lugia's field of vision towards a door behind the Power Plant, "They don't seem to have anyone guarding that door."

Under the Power Plant...


The Ground-Types with Dig were doing just that...digging. Using their senses from below and their general knowledge of the earth, they continued to make their way to the Power Plant from underneath, not visible by or susceptible to any kind of firing from the Orks that were holed up in there. It was a longer process, but it was one that would pay off in the end to be considered an ultimate sneak attack from below.

- - - - - - - - -


Within the Power Plant...


Unknown to any of the active participants in this fight, three Pokemon were already tucked inside the Power Plant, sneaking in before the Orks had fully taken over and set up their defenses. They fantastic trio of Team Vitality were now scurrying along the inside of the building, keeping an eye out for anybody and trying to find a way to exploit from within. They dared not to strike...not yet anyway.

"You'd think they would keep this place secure," Gambit whispered as he hovered low, "I don't see anybody."

"They're all stationed on the outside perimeter," Dee said as she checked the corner to an intersection before darting across tothe other side, "It's a tactical blunder to leave troops lounging around while others do all the work. Now hush."

"Dee, I don't think these guys are one for tactics," Siena pointed out reasonably as she scuttled along in Land Form.

"Regardless, they reported no life forms inside, which is a lucky break for us." Dee said as Gambit was about to round the next corner, prompting a sudden yank on his left wing to pull him back. It took all his willpower for the Togetic to not cry out in pain

"Hey, what was that for?" Gambit winced as he rubbed his tender wing.

"Check corners," Dee reminded him for what had to have been the hundredth time as she hopped over him, peering around the corner before glancing back with a justified glare on her face, "See? You nearly got that Ork's attention."

"What is he building?" Siena peeked over the tiny Dedenne's head to watch. Gambit joined them.

"Unknown device," came Dee's reply, "Could be anything. Looks unstable." She was, of course, referring to the electrical arcs that shot out of the rough design.

Gambit was scratching hiss head, "I don't think it's a weapon. It's inside the Power Plant and doesn't look very mobile."

"A bomb, perhaps?" Siena suggested, "These things do seem to like destroying things."

"Negative," Dee was analyzing the makeshift parts, "It lacks explosive components and a trigger."

"Maybe they haven't got to that part yet?" Gambit responded.

'That will have to do...'

Lugia banked hard and flew towards the door, banking and avoiding the hail of bullets with a psychic barrier around herself. The rounds pinged and exploded all around her but they were a pittance compared to the barriers she would have normally put up for herself deep in the bottom of the ocean trenches she called home. She let out a shrieking sound as she dove down towards the door, opening her mouth to which a bright white light grew.

Then she fired her Aeroblast at the doorway, causing it to explode with a violent force, sending the door inward a few dozen feet within the facility. The Lugia then turned her attention towards the Orks in the windows. She knew this place was vastly important, but if she could stem the tide of bullets, she had to try to do something. Her maw opened as another beam shot forth from her maw and cut down pieces of the building with her mighty blast, absorbing some of the fire as she was now the biggest target

'Little one, I cannot have you on my back any longer. Hold on tightly'

The Lugia opened her maw one last time and another ray shot out into the building, punching a hole through it as she flew backward then dove into the opening. Within the dead ork infested hallway, Lugia was squeezed tightly before her form shifted and changed, growing smaller and less imposing then herself. After a few seconds, Lugia stood in her human form while dusting off the dress she wore while sighing heavily

"I suggest we get moving towards...well...whatever might be in this place. Lead the way little one"

"'Da lizard 'fing I'z sinside 'da building! Boyz get 'ta 'da hole in 'da wall!" An ork boy shouted as footsteps began to march across the power plant.

Gunfire continued to fire outside but it was noticeably lessoned as orks ran to the breach in the wall. For one Mekboy in particular he was hammering the construction with a shoddy wrech. "Oh zog! 'da gitz are in 'da base!...Oh wait...I'z 'fink I'z remembered somefin'! I'z remember 'ow 'ta finish 'da pad!" The Mekboy suddenly explaimed as he grabed a rather dangerious looking cut fire sparking with electricity and jammed it into the the machine.

The shoddy structure suddenly sparked to life as megaphones bolted on top of it began to suddenly work. "'Oi! 'dis 'fing on? I'z 'fink I'z on!" Another ork yelled through the megaphones as the massive pile of scrap on the platform was zapped away.

Unknown to the Orkz on the ground, an Ork Kruizer that was told to enter the sector of Rulla was busy getting prepared with guitars and arming their own Tellyporta pad. "You'ze boyz ready 'ta rock!?" An ork yelled in the ship and they got lots of rocking guitars ready.

The Mek with his job finished suddenly ran off behind a rather shoddy shack to do some final improvments for some boyz. The Ork Kommando Nob Began to hoof it back to the Tellyporta pad as soon as he heard the megaphones go off. There job was was done, but the rest of the boyz here were either too dumb to run or wanted to continue fighting...wel zog them all then!

Suddenly the sounds of Guitars began to sound as the boyz got ready for an epic WAGHHHH!

"'OI BOYZ! YOU'ZE READY 'TA ROCK! 'DEN GETZ READY 'TA ROCK!"

"That will have to do."

"Woooooooah," came Crimson's unsteady reply as the Lugia launched herself forward towards the door at full force. His stomach lurched in response, but he held on tightly as she unleashed her Aeroblast at the doorway, causing it to blast into the Power Plant.

So much for a quiet entry...

He preferred the sneaky approach, truth be told. There was always a secret backdoor solution to every problem and he was fairly decent at exploiting it. He wanted to save strength until it was completely necessary. That and had never measured himself up to be anything strength-wise against his opponents. It was the basis to his way of living and breathing and his method of thought towards anything. How to solve it with as little fighting as possible.

This was not one of those times, however. Fighting had been there since he and the Crimson Guild had arrived. There was no escaping the fighting. So now it was something measurable to quick thinking and strategy that had gotten them this far. All that was left to play to their strength was...well strength. Which they had ample amounts of.

"Little one, I cannot have you on my back any longer."

"Read ya loud and clear!" Crimson shouted over the noise and wind as he left the back of the Legendary, his feet providing the basis for his launch. A back-flip and a corkscrew for stability later and he was landing on his feet, spread apart and sliding across the sand from the force of his launch. He observed as the Lugia smashed her own hole through the Power Plant, scattering many a dead Ork into it's hallways. Crimson followed behind, vaulting the jagged bits of building that remained in her wake as he held onto the Power Bat. It held a tiny charge to it from the bullet he had deflected earlier, but that was nothing substantial.

Man, their weapons were weak, he thought. No wonder we could swarm them so easily.

He'd never been around guns like the weapons these Orks carried. But he'd hear enough through the wildings network that they were quite ineffective against Pokemon. And now that he'd experienced it firsthand, he knew it to be true. If there was a comparison to be made, they were like miniature Bullet Punches against his teams. Hell, he'd only deflected one of those bullets, but he may have been hit by three more. He couldn't tell since it felt more like rocks hitting his skin. He didn't understand their lethal potential outside of Ruula, but he knew they simply didn't carry enough energy in their arms to deal enough damage to Pokemon. It maybe held an advantage against the ones who could quite take Steel-Type attacks very well, but besides that...

"Never knew you to be the explosive type."

Crimson raised a brow with a grin as Tag appeared besides him, "You think I can cause a hole that big?"

"You have before."

"Wait a second..." Crimson's jaw dropped as he noticed the Lugia morphing, growing smaller and smaller as it did so. Her wings' large and graceful span condensed itself to skinny ligaments. Her feet grew smaller and were suddenly covered with six-inch stiletto-like boots that covered her ankles. And her face was morphing as well, taking on some long, wispy white hair that fell in the fullest of volumes to her legs. Her ears were elongated, almost a mirror copy of what her eyes used to be, but her irises were a shimmering gray. However, what caught his attention most was the fact that she had arms, legs, and no tail.

She had a human form.

Tag was in awe besides his best friend, "I didn't know Pokemon could do that!"

Crimson was quick to make an interjection, "Well...I'm human. Or at least I was."

"Yeah, but I'm talking about changing from a human to a Pokemon at will!" Tag explained, "You can't do that...can you?"

"No...at least...I don't think so." Now Crimson was in deep thought. Could he change into a human at his own will? Had he been able to revert to his former self at any point since he'd been a Pokemon? What if he had changed into a Chimchar completely by accident and just assumed he wasn't able to adopt his human form again?

Witnessing this transformation opened so many possibilities for him, opening his mind to so many solutions and scenarios as to how he was turned into a Pokemon to begin with. This could be the key to unlocking his past.

"Crimson! Focus!" Tag cried.

Shaking out of his spell of amazement, he returned to what appeared to be another wave of Orks descending upon them, one of which was aiming a massive fist towards his general body mass. With his years of training and his near perfection of his own fighting style, he leaped right to dodge the blow and retaliated rapidly with a strike from his Power Bat, which ignited into flames upon impact. He was surprised to discover how easily the flame-lit weapon blazed against the Ork's skin, causing the foul creature to erupt in a sizzling glow all around his arm and spreading quickly. He didn't focus on the screaming Ork for too long as he ducked under a wave of bullets aimed towards him and lunged forward. Thought instead of attacking, the blur of motion that was the small Turtwig caught him and the two went whizzing down the hall, beckoning the Orks to follow.

"Dude, we're totally in sync right now," Tag commented on the play, glancing back at the number of Orks coming after them. Since Crimson was the brightest glowing object in the room with his flame-lit tail, the odds were he would be leading most of them his direction. Which was what he wanted. The quicker he could get the enemy's mind off the Lugia, the easier time she'd have looking around and surveying the situation, likely providing a solution of some kind.

And then afterwards, they needed to talk.




The slowing of bullets aimed outward would prove to be a saving grace for the members of the Crimson Guild. Almost at once, they heard the reduction in fire as the source of fighting split between those who continued to guard from the outside and those who were battling the newer threats of the Lugia, Chimchar, and Turtwig.

"Their attacks are stopping!" a Buneary shouted from the left side of their group, "They must've found a breach! Let's go!"

"Wait!" a Flygon swooped on front of the masses and held up it's arms at them, "What if it's a trap?!"

"Then the bullet's would've stopped completely," a Snorlax from the back row called out.

"They're distracted!" a hyperactive Lilligant agreed, causing a few Pokemon to voice their favor of charging in.

"We don't know that," the Flygon continued to try to be the voice of reason, "For all we know, they could've been leading us on the entire time. Let's wait for Tag to get back before we do anything that could get us hurt too bad."

A few others in the crowd shouted in agreement to this idea.

But before any move could be made, the Buneary pointed towards the sky where her massive floppy ear was pointed and listening to something. "Guys, look!"

All eyes turned towards the sight in the sky. Flying together was a group of multiple Flying-Types in a super tight and clean V-Formation. These Pokemon also varied in size and shape, except they didn't even seem to notice. In the front of the V were two Pokemon with the same focused gaze. One was a Staraptor with a perky attitude and a strong mind. The other was a younger Honchkrow with a hesitant air around him, but a lust for the former that was noticeable every time he looked away from the ground and gazed at his partner in crime.

Peggy and Edal had arrived, the Sunrise Brigade in tow.

"Edal! Watcha got in your visuals?!" Peggy chirped, her fierce and unrelenting gaze locking onto the Power Plant.

Edal had to break his eyes away from her to examine the Power Plant on his own, "Hmm...looks like a couple breaches have been made in the back two corners of the structure as well as the rear entrance. Not a lot of defenses set up on the outside, but there's a lot of commotion going on within. Looks like we have the advantage in this scenario. Preferred method of approach?"

"Dive bomb."

"Dive bomb?"

"DIVE BOMB!" she suddenly cried as she folded her wings and began plummeting towards the ground at an insane speed, twirling all the way. Edal fell in right behind her and did the same. The other members of the V-Formation began forming the line, one by one, until it was a singular stream of Flying-Types darting towards the ground in one fluid motion. Not a feather was out of place. It would almost look like one bird approaching from the Ork's perspective as they drew closer and closer. Not that many of the Orks would be looking that far up.

That it, until it was too late.

"Sunrise Brigade...Spread 'em and Slice 'em!" Peggy's call was heard over the intense, rushing wind as she opened her wings and swooped up, flinging an Air Slash at a stationed Ork in one of the windows. The slash was so intense, it broke the window in the process of cutting through the Ork and it's weaponry. Edal was next, the same method of attack used as he flung his Air Slash at another Ork. And the next one. And the next one. Like a revolving firing squad, they attacked, flinging Air Slashes left and right at their targets, more than likely hitting and reducing the number of Orks they had by quite a number.

Meanwhile, Peggy kept the revolving door operating. She flew upwards and over, flying on her back above the other Sunrise Brigade crew and began to arc her trajectory down again. From the ground, it would look like a circle was being formed in the sky with a singular sharp corner in it's lower left side, where the sharp pinpoint turn upwards was being taken. The Sunrise Brigade could even perform tricks as they did the serious work.

Now Peggy had completely circled around and was right behind the last in line, ready to issue the next command, "Sunrise Brigade...Spread and Conquer! Take out all forces in the windows!"

And the circle was gone in an instant. The Sunrise Brigade split up in teams of two or three and began forming their own little V-Formations as they flew around the Power Plant, launching every attack they could at the Orks in the windows. Now that the Ork numbers were split, they would have little to no problem or resistance taking care of those who were stubborn enough to guard the outside.




And just as there was a breach above ground, there was a breach underground.

The Ground-Types found themselves an access point from below...a part of the Power Plant where the Maintenance crew worked and the repair team resided on standby. At least, when there wasn't a wide-scale Ork invasion threatening the lives of those in the town. No human was inside as a Drillbur began digging through the metal wall that led into the Power Plant from below. With little hesitation, it dropped inside and began to examine it's surroundings. The other Ground-Types filtered in behind him, finding the hole with the guidance of the others around them. Soon, everyone was inside, eyeing the computers and papers and looking for something important...mostly Orks.

A murmur ripped through the group and the Drillbur was suddenly tugged back by a small Cubone, who had alertness in his eyes.

"Careful where you step," the Cubone stated to him and all the Ground-Types around them as she pointed her bone towards the thick cord running at ankle height across the room, two explosives on each end. "They've set traps, it looks like."

Drillbur nodded, whispering a "Thanks" to her before stepping over the cord and moving further into the underground portion of the Power Plant, a greater sense of observance in his eyes. Everyone else followed suit, more keen to their surroundings. The Orks may not have been smart, but they knew how to set traps. Thankfully, the cords were thick and definitely visible to the naked eye, else there might've been a big boom from below.




Team Vitality's eyes lit up as they watched the metal scrap vanish before their eyes. They knew instantly what it was.

"A teleporter!" Gambit was the first to say it, looking at Siena for validation, who nodded in agreement.

"I think so. But why do they need one?"

"They're on the defensive right now," Gambit reasoned, "Maybe they're trying to leave."

"Again, it doesn't seem to be in line with how they think," Siena countered, "They're too aggressive to be retreating like that."

Dee's eyes widened as she put the pieces together, grabbing Siena in the process. "You're right. They're not retreating. They're bringing more troops in. We have to shut the Teleporter down!"

And the opportunity arose when the MechBoy disappeared into a shoddy shack set up nearby. If they wanted to take the thing down, now was the time. But how were they going to do it? Team Vitality approached the Teleporter and began looking for a way to shut it off.

"Maybe I have enough electricity in me to overload the Teleporter," Dee suggested and was about to place her hand on the device when Siena stopped her.

"No, wait! That could hurt you!"

Dee shrugged, "I'm an Electric-Type. I resist shocks of this caliber all the time." She readied her paws once more.

"How can you be sure? These guys have been using these devices we've never seen before since we got here. Let's shut down the Power Plant!"

Gambit tried to interject, "Hey guys-"

Dee raised a brow, ignoring the Togetic, "And bring darkness to the Kalos Region?"

"We can't just do nothing!" Siena rationalized, "And it would only be temporary until the Orks are gone from here."

"This is human owned, Siena. We can't just turn off a Power Plant without their consent. It's not right."

"Guys-"

"So you want to let loose hundreds of Orks into Ruula, then?"

"That's not what I said either. Just trust me. I can handle the charge."

"How do you know that what you're doing won't take down the Power Plant for good?"

"GUYS!"

Dee and Siena both turned to Gambit, who had a wide grin on his face. In his hand was the wire he'd watched the Ork jam into the machine earlier. The frayed part continued to spark as he held it a safe distance from his own body so as not to be hurt by it. Dee and Siena just stared in disbelief as they turned to where the wire had been cut with a Magical Leaf.

"I got it!" the Togetic said as he threw the frayed wire onto the floor, now useless. Both Dee and Siena sighed aloud.

"Since when were you one to do things simply?" Siena asked.

"Since I got tired of hearing you guys argue," Gambit replied nonchalant.

Lugia watched the duo of pokemon depart her company, taking a good chunk of the orks with them. She simply stood there, waiting as the ork's charged at her. Her body glowed as did her eyes and as the ork's came at her, they were starting to become crushed. Their bodies contorted, twisted and ripped apart as overwhelming psychic energy tore them to pieces on the floor. Their shoota rounds pinged off of a psychic barrier uselessly and any that got close enough for a single swing would find their choppa's shattered against the barrier. Her maw opened and a shrieking sound erupted from it as the same beam of death that had slaughtered many of their kind charged forward, cutting more and more holes in the building itself and disintegrating the remaining orks before her.

With that done, she turned on her heels and started to walk towards the center of the plant, following signs which lead towards the very center of the installation. After a short time, she found the center and what the orks were working on: The Tellyporta pad.

Such a strange looking device she thought as she got closer and saw the team of pokemon working on disabling it. She didn't say a word but moved herself to stand infront of it and waited for the orks to return to it. She opened her mouth and let out a serenading song to announce her presence to the orks in an attempt to draw them from the outside and to pull them towards the core of the plant. It would be here that their numbers would be crushed. Their plans thwarted here and now. This plant, though damaged could be repaired if given enough time. This plan was needed.

"'OI! You'ze pokeyman gitz!" A big and very angry voice shouted as a big Ork lumbered forward as he saw the Pokémon around a disabled Tellyporta Pad. "You'ze Pokeyman gitz! You'ze zogged me escape plan! 'Eres watz I'z gonna do!" The Ork reached for a massive and huge gun that seemed to be as big as his whole body. It looked rather crude but not as crude as most other weapons they would have seen. The Ork soon put on some technical goggles on his face.

"First! I'z gonna krump you'ze gitz with my Speshul Shoota! 'Den I'z going 'ta fix 'da Tellyporta pad! 'Un I'z going 'ta put 'yer 'eads on a ponty stikk!" To Emphasize the weapons lethality, the Ork slammed two massive Slugs that were probably as big as his meaty hands into the gun and cocked it.

"Settin' Gitfinda' 'ta Pokeyman! WAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The Ork Bellowed as it tossed a massive bundle of what appeared to be bombs filling the room with smoke as the Ork quite cleverly used it as a screen. The Ork planned to get real close to them to get a nice point blank shot right on them.

For the Nobz that were getting their kit all upgraded, they soon left the shack with what apreared to be powerd armor. Massive Coils sparked from the armor along with tubes and all manner of makeshift weapons from really gig guns to Power Klaws and they lumbered to where the breech was made.

"Boss! You'ze Suppa Tuff shield fings I'z fully juiced up! Gotz Lotz 'O rounds for the Quad Dakka Deffguns! And you'ze got Supa Tuff Armor! Bash 'dere 'eads in boss's!" The Mek reported as the Nob squad began to roll out. The Mek soon arrived to the Tellyporta pad when he noticed the music, and the Tellyporta stopped working. "Oh 'fer 'da love of zog! 'Da gitz zogged the Tellyporta!" The Ork soon grabbed his strange weapon which arced with electricity and began to fiddle with strange devices before putting on goggles and running for the Tellyporta. The smoke of course helped hide the ork.

For the remaining orks outside, or at least still retreating to the plant they began to charge the open hole in the power plant firing off rounds wildly. Along with waving their choppers angrily.

Team Vitality was quickly shrouded within the same smoke the Orks had launched at them. The familiarity of the Smoke Screen came to mind and Dee was the first to have a plan.

"Gambit! Fairy Wind!" she called to her left where she knew the Togetic would be, even though she couldn't see him.

"Got it!" came the reply as a large gust of wind filled the room and blew in the direction of the Orks. Not only would it clear the room of smoke and filter it outside, it would do some small damage to both the Ork with the massive meaty gun and to the Mech trying to sneak to the Teleporter, both of which were visible now. Dee and Siena hopped forward to challenge the Ork with the massive gun.

"Siena, I'd recommend being in Sky Form," Dee mentioned as she squared up, "I'm gonna need you to fight this thing with me. Gambit, take care of the other one!"

Gambit found a small smile crossing his face as he confronted the MechBoy, halting his progression to the Teleporter.

"You're gonna have to go through me to get there, buddy," was all the Togetic said as he floated tauntingly in front of the Mech Ork. He wasn't sure the Orks knew PokeSpeak (probably not), but there was enough in his body language to convey the message across.

Meanwhile, Siena morphed into the Sky Form Shaymin while Dee made the first strike, A Charge Beam with enough force to send the Ork back a few feet. The electricity arced through the air, most of it smashing into the Ork while the remainder of it ricocheted back to Dee, who absorbed it and added it to her own power. Now her attacks could hit extra hard on the next go round.




From afar, another presence was watching. He'd asked the Dragonite who'd brought him here to drop him off a slight distance away from the Power Plant so he could scope things out. And that he was doing, the aid of the Power Scope he owned helping tremendously. From here, he could see the synchronization of the Sunrise Brigade in action, the group he'd seen practice time and time again in the skies above the Sunrise Division HQ. It was about time they saw a fight or two. They hadn't since the invasion of Sithlok on Anistar City. As for the Crimson Guild, he could see them begin their advance onto the Power Plant, now that the threat had retreated within the Power Plant. It was turning more and more to their favor.

"So when were you going to let us know you arrived?"

Sarik jumped at the sound of Meryl's voice behind him, turning to see her stare piercing through his skull. Pert was there too, but his face was less cynical and more jovial...much like he was used to seeing from the Plusle/Minun duo. Or at least, used to...

"Just scoping things out," Sarik replied calmly, turning back to the Power Scope, "You know how I do things."

"Not even bothering to say hi?"

"Hi," he said smoothly. Meryl rolled her eyes while Pert squatted down next to the Squirtle.

"It's good to see you again, buddy." the Plusle said with the widest grin on his face.

"It's good to see you too," Sarik actually did turn away from his job to flash him a smile, "I know we don't do that too often anymore."

Meryl got a bit closer, "Here's the rundown. Large creatures. Very slow. Not very strong, either. As far as we can tell, they have a weakness to fire."

"Sounds like Crimson's field day." Sarik noted.

Meryl went on. "Speaking of, he and Tag are within the building, I think. They're part of the breach team. Ground-Types are gonna attack from below while everyone else goes in the old fashioned way."

"And my guys helped turn the tides a bit?"

"Oh, easily," Pert gave him a thumbs up, "We wouldn't have enough Flying-Types to distract their fire had it not been for you. Now they've got all sorts of things to worry about."

Finally, Sarik put away the Power Scope and began walking forward, "Then I say let's go meet up with our friends, shall we?"




"Tag! Up and Over!"

"You got it!"

After a few seconds of leading the numerous Orks down their way, they were ready to invoke a plan of action. Tag, who was using his speed to evade the bullet storm at their backs, leaped against the wall of the corridor they were running in and off of it, going high enough for Crimson to make a leap onto the steel girder above them. A quick one eighty and the Chimchar was now looking down at the twenty or so Orks he and Tag managed to herd to their position.

From here, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Embers prepped, Crimson threw one after another after another, igniting the Orks in flames with each one he hit. A few had the wherewithal to glance up at the creature raining fire down from above and began shooting at him. But it wasn't enough. Not only was Crimson agile enough to dodge most of them, he was balanced enough to maintain he leverage over them as he did so. Long story short, those Orks were well done by the time he hopped down from that vantage point. Tag was running back to him as Crimson landed on the ground.

"I scouted ahead just a bit," Tag stated as the Chimchar hopped onto his back and they proceeded down the hall again, "Team Vitality's got a couple Orks they're dealing with. They seem to be defending a device of some sort."

"The Orks or our guys?"

"Our guys. The Orks have a few of their creatures dressed in seemingly strong armor. Electric-based stuff, from the looks of it. Good people for the Ground-Types to fight. And I think I have an idea where the leader might be."

"Right there?" Crimson pointed towards the one dressed in some of that incredibly tough-looking armor and some really crude guns to match. They looked significantly more powerful than the weapons the Orks had been wielding against them during this fight. Tag nodded.

"Help out Team Vitality in taking care of the two Orks. I'll get this one." Crimson jumped off the blur of motion Tag was being, rolling onto his feet in front of the Commander Nog. His right hand held the Power Bat, as loosely and comfortably as he'd been holding it before, his left hand closed in a fire-covered fist. A smile crossed the Chimchar's face as he stared up at the Ork, a notable difference in stature. A mere foot eight squaring off against a gargantuan in size and muscle mass.

"Hi there," Crimson said to Commander Nog, even though he figured the Ork wouldn't be able to understand him, "I think you're in a place you don't belong."

"'OI! You'ze in 'da way you'ze git! Oh zog 'dis! I'z gotz 'da better plan! Get over 'ere grotz!" The Mek suddenly ran away as something began to stomp its way to his position. Suddenly replacing the Mak as it rounded the corner, a metallic walker with steam bellowing from it and armed with makeshift drills and hacksaws took its place.

"Oi! now You'ze 'da grotz now!" A small voice spoke through the speaker as the machine charged forward. Preppared to chop the pokemon into pieces.

For the Kommando Nob, as the smoke cleared a blast of lighting hit hit, thankfully his armor took the blow. Being crude and heavy, it did wonders for defense. However soon the Nob looked down at the flaming monkey in fron of him. It of course did not understand what it was saying, but he knew it was talking to him. And whatever it said it still made him mad. "You'ze talking 'ta me! I'z gunna stikk you'ze gud!" The Kommando soon grabbed a random cigar in his pouch and put it in its mouth before he raided the gun. With lots of pellets, each worth a few caliber in stopping power. He aimed in the general direction of the group of Pokémon. Despite horrid accuracy of ork guns. This horrid accuracy for this Speshul Shoota was its specialty. Of course the closer you were, the more pellets would hit and the bigger the shot would be. The Nob soon took a shot at them sending a quite litteral wall of bullets at them before running of to get to cover while throwing bombs behind him, all with a nice yellow paintjob.

For the Nob squad, they slowly marched to the entrance prepared to give the intruders a real green menance. "BOYZ! You'ze gitz form up! We'ze gunna krump 'da pokeyman gitz boss! 'Un krump 'da gitz in 'da city!" One Nob roared as they advanced with the remaining orkz in the plant grouping on them.

As the multiple blade wielding machine took it's stance and charged towards Gambit, an idea popped in his head. An idea that just might work with the right lack of intelligence from the opposing party.

The Togetic gave a wink, as if to aggravate the machine pilot, and flew backwards, dodging right to avoid a particular blade rammed in his direction. Not that he was terribly worried about that. He'd taken a Cut or two in his day. An attack like this would probably equate to about the same. At the same time, he shot back some rocks covered in an ancient energy. They would bang up the machinery quite good, but not enough to completely incapacitate the steam machine. He was hoping the Ancient Power would grant him another surge of energy, like the one he'd experienced earlier in the fight. Two boosts and he'd be nearly impossible to take down.




As the Commander began firing in Crimson's general direction, he quickly ran to the right, avoiding the wall of bullets narrowly by leaping behind a corner. His chuckle was slight as his breathing took over, glancing back to where he'd seen the Ork take cover.

"Lotta bullets..." Crimson said aloud, thinking through his options. He could play the range game and just fling Embers at him. One was bound to set him on fire at some point and then it'd be all over. The hard part was getting close enough to do so, which would prove to be a task with that massive gun it was toting around. And while he was agile enough to dodge many things, he wasn't perfect.

His glance went to his Power Bat. Maybe...

As he thought things through, Dee and Siena took the offensive once again. The Shaymin in Sky Form began to lift off the ground while the Dedenne skidded to the side to avoid one of those bombs being flung. The explosion made scorch marks in the floor, but did little else.

Siena was the first to see the Ork Commander from above, and was quick enough to send an Energy Ball spiraling in his direction before any kind of retaliation could be made. Energy Ball was another one of those moves that the Ork's armor could potentially absorb, but it had another effect attached. When the Energy Ball would strike, it would drain some of the power the armor carried, lowering it's functionality a considerable amount.

Which brought forth the perfect timing for Dee to appear from the right. As the Ork Commander would glance and see the flying Shaymin flinging the Energy Ball from above, she was there to add a jab to the hook with a playful tackle from the rear afterwards. They had seen the armor's capabilities in taking on Special-based power, but it had yet to take the brunt of Physical-based damage, which Dee was providing with the Play Rough maneuver. At the same time, she managed to knock Commander Nog's guns from his hand. It clattered to the floor and slid a few feet away, a satisfying sound for Crimson to hear.

"Oi! Come on you'ze grots in 'da legs! Work fasta'!" A grot spoke as the machine took damage, they were not very bright of course and continued to saw and drill the pokemon. Of Course the Mek has other ideas. "Now you'ze smart boyz!" The mek yelled as smaller Kommandos suddenly appeared around gambit and opened fire from behind the pokemon with decently accurate gunfire, and a Loota' boy also appeared from inside a pile of scrap not yet sent and fired its deffgun at Gambit.

For the Kommando Nob, as he retreated he was hit by an energy ball which began to short out his protection against attacks like that. However at the Pokémon went physical, the armor indeed still held. It was nothing special, but just a massive slab of metal far to heavy for most took the blow. The weapon however was thrown away as the pokemon ganged up on him from multiple directions. His boyz also ganged up on their friend.

"I'z duns needz my Speshul Shoota anyways! I'z snik you'ze with 'dis!" The Kommando soon grabbed a strange knife with strange things attached to it. A kustom made power snikker. A Very sharp knife, with the ability to distrupt the molecular bonds of its targets. The sharpness of the knife was rather deadly, and arcs or orange energy surged through it genererating an orange haze. "Come on you'ze gitz! I'z show'ze you'ze 'ow 'ta fight! WAAAAGHHHHHHH!" The ork suddenly charged at Dee as that pokemon was closer to stab.

Lugia had had just enough of this. She had been fighting several smaller bands of orks and looked to see the team of Crimson gang up on the biggest ork in the room while the other pokemon was outnumbered. There wasnt much time and she knew who the biggest threat was. She opened her mouth and let out a earthshattering roar of her own, shaking the building to it's very foundations as she barreled towards the Ork Warboss.

"WAAAGH!" She screamed as hard as her lungs could produce and rammed herself into the body of the ork. Psychic energy pulsed through her body as the ork's legs left the ground. With him levitated, she grabbed Crimson in the force of the psychic energy and began to run. The lack of mobility of the ork in that split second forced him, Crimson and Lugia to barrel forward at an unrivaled speed. Walls were smashed through as she charged with the ork and chimchar in two. If Crimson dared to count, they would have gone through ten walls until they reached the outside of the plant and Lugia threw the ork to the ground several feet away.

Panting, she righted herself and stood upright while letting the Chimchar Crimson go. Rage boiled in her eyes as she pounded her chest hard and took on an aggressive stance

"Crimson, let your team deal with the other Orks. You and I will take on this abomination. You say you will teach us how to fight pipsqueak? Ill show you a fight you utter pathetic weakling. You believe you are strong, you arent even a thing to fight. Show me your strength and I MIGHT unleash a sliver of my power! Come on then you dog!"

The Lugia then readied herself for the ork's charge.

Before Commander Nog's knife could get anywhere near Dee, Crimson sprang into action, parrying the orange hue-covered thing away with his Power Bat while absorbing some of it's energy to make the bat's power more potent. In the meantime, he stored it, but still whapped the Ork in the chest on a hairpin spin following the parry.

And then the next thing he knew, he was being levitated off the ground. He had just enough time to process the Lugia appearing by his side once again before he was "dragged" through a few walls by her power. The entire ordeal was disorienting, even for Crimson who had many worse experiences notched on his belt. Still, when they were outside and he'd been dropped once more, he stumbled a bit, trying to find his footing. However, his recovery was quick and he found himself looking at where they'd come from. All those holes...

"Uh...what she said," Crimson replied uncertainly to the Lugia boiling rage as he readied himself up in a stance.




The sneak attack was well-coordinated and well executed, but far too late in Gambit's plan for anything to be done. Gambit had his attention on the machine and his plan that he didn't notice the Commandos appearing from their hidden locations.

"Urk!" Gambit visibly grunted as a couple bullets smashed into him. He mentally pushed himself as he saw his goal right in front of him. With a final grunt of effort, his wings carried him up and over the deactivated Teleporter Pad before he finally lost his grace in flight and careened into the floor behind it.

However, his trap had been layed. The Orks were so focused on taking down the Togetic that they weren't aware of exactly where he was heading. They were so hell bent on trying to injure a single Pokemon that they were ramming their machine at full velocity just to keep up with him. And the result of that?

The Teleporter was waiting for their own Machine to plow right through it, which would tear it to pieces and render it unable to be repaired. It was simply going too fast to change direction and it was certainly too crude to move itself out of the way. Such was the life for Orks and their technology.

Meanwhile, Tag had finally appeared on the scene, beginning his own onslaught, a Tackle straight into one of the lesser Commandos. Dee was utilizing Parabolic Charge, the wide span of energy crossing the floor beneath everyone would hit all the Commandos at once. Dee's own energy was replenished from the usage of the move. Siena was taking them out with Magical Leaf, a move that never missed it's target.
