The Situation in Glacier

The rescuers have been allowed a night's rest following their arrival on the outskirts of Glacier. Though there is ample evidence of their enemy's presence in the form of burning buildings and ruined settlements, the creature itself appears to have wandered off briefly to wreak havoc in a different corner of the frozen tundra. Or perhaps it was taking a brief siesta following so much exertion - murder and destruction was tiring work. Whatever the case, it seems to be an opportune time to descend into the city and assist those remaining there.

If they are brave, they might even try to take back the city itself. But the primary goal, of course, is to save as many people as possible before the great dragon returned.

The few people of Glacier who had guided them this far point out the less-traveled paths by which it may be possible to enter the city unnoticed. It is determined that they will fan out in groups, both in search of survivors and in search of the companions of the dragon who had so effectively laid waste to the city. Perhaps they might still gain the upper hand.

((You may respond to your threads now! Not all the groups will have immediate mod starters going up, so feel free to initiate threading; a mod will step in as soon as possible. As usual, we will be tagging on a 24-hour basis whether or not all group members have tagged in.

When responding, please list the Pokemon your character is bringing with them.

While the final portion of this event will go up on Sunday, October 4th, please also feel free to continue tagging this portion of the log as these threads will almost certainly not be finished yet.))

[The boys breathing comes easier with the Heal Pulse, and his sobbing starts to subside as several of the other people gather around him, looks of gratitude clear on their worn faces.

The Delphox howls in pain as the Brine and Earth Power strike it, the Psychic attack abating. It appears to be quite badly damaged, as it unleashes a Hypnosis attack to put the charging Rhyperion to sleep.

The Tepig slams into the Mega Charizard, striking it hard with the added Psychic attack for extra damage. The Charizard shrieks in pain and counters with a Heat Wave at the airborne Tepig.

The Dragon Tail strikes at the second Charizard, who latches on with its claws and returns with a Flamethrower

The Enlightened on the ground, however, aims an Ice Beam at Lenna's Dragonite, using the Charizard to keep it there and packing it with a power well beyond that of any Union Enlightened]

[ Sky's friend Stradivarius the Nidoqueen is here! And helping her fight the Pokémon that hurt Trainer! A lady is always quick to collaborate and work harmoniously with others, so she hurries over to Stradivarius and offers a paw. Her previous attack appeared most successful, so she's going to attempt it again. Please stay alongside her, as she knows her friend doesn't enjoy getting wet. ] Bear!

[ If Stradivarius seems willing, she'll run at the Delphox. Time to see whether the second Brine is as unpleasant as the first!

Haruka feels her head clearing just as World Shaking falls to his knees, yawning. She can't afford to spend any time on waking him - not with the Enlightened unleashing that kind of power - so she recalls him and draws her sword, picking back up on her own two feet. ] Don't forget the ground troops!

[ She swings the sword to unleash arcs of Fairy-type energy at the other human. He's at least part Ice, so her drawing his attention is stupid. But it only has to last for a little bit... ]

Queen. [Nidoqueen clasps paws with Beartic and nods, following up with another Earth Power.

Michiru and Rapidash turn away from the Charizards, looping around to come at the Enlightened from behind. She gathers up a Psychic blast, only to unleash it on the same target Haruka chose.]

Alexander!

[The Dragonite definitely takes a wallop, being doubly weak to Ice type attacks. In fact, the only reason it wasn't knocked out entirely is because of its Multiscale ability and the fact that Lenna had healed it before. But Lenna isn't about to let her friend go out like that, and barrels headlong toward the Charizard X that has it pinned. Time to let this thing feel the Outrage of someone who's just narrowly avoided losing her first Pokemon friend.]

Let him go!

[If she manages to body check it out of the way, her first action immediately following will be to recall Alexander so he doesn't die for real.]

Himiko, let's go help Haruka! I'll get Toyo out here soon. Hagoromo, you know what to do!

[Himiko double-times it to the aid of Haruka while Rise follows, trying to get an Analysis of the Enlightened and what he or she is capable of. Hagoromo, meanwhile, continues to smack around the Charizard-oids with another Hurricane.]

[While The Momotaros' Thick Fat still helps to lessen the damage, it doesn't stop him from falling into a snowbank at top speed. His landing sight is clearly marked by a deep, steaming, Tepig-sized hole in one of the larger snow drifts.]

I trust you guys to handle them! [Right shouts at Haruka over his shoulder. And it's true - the others are stronger than him, after all, so he's sure that they can handle the human half of the attacking group.

He unleashes a Swift at the Charizard that his Tepig had hit earlier, then looks over to his Chansey.] Miss Chansey, give Momotaros one of your eggs!

Ch-Chan?! Sey-sey! Chansey!! [O-One of her eggs?! Ohmigoodness! Miss Chansey can't just let some weirdo eat of her precious Softboiled eggs! They're her eggs!]

Do it!

[...yet even the Chansey can't ignore that tone of voice. She (blindly, since she can't bear to see the 'carnage') she tosses a Softboiled egg at the Tepig. Thankfully, the fiery tiny pig did catch the egg and munches on it as quickly as he can, getting himself patched up.]

(ooc: Sorry for the delay!)

[Pamela has been staying back and has been encouraging Bramble, her Phantump, to do the same. They're both at a disadvantage against Fire types. Instead, she sends Mimosa her Golurk forward.]

Mimosa, use Earthquake!

[The timid Golurk unleashes the attack toward one of the Charizards.]

[The onslaught of attacks damages the Pokemon greatly, knocking the Delphox out entirely. The Enlightened, however, manages to crush the fairy slash from Haruka with his bare hands]

Damn it! Pyre, grab Summer! Fall back for now!

[One of the Charizards regains its bearing and swoops down, grabbing the downed Delphox as the other swoops down for the Enlightened to mount and they begin to flee as quickly as they can]

[Lenna's rage lasts a good ten or so seconds more after the enemies begin to retreat, her breath hot and labored as it condenses in the air around them. And finally, with a sigh, she manages to come down from the attack.]

Is... is everyone all right?

[She immediately rushes to the side of her heavily injured Dragonite friend, using another Aqua Ring to begin to knit his wounds. Once she's satisfied that he'll be okay, she sends him back with the Warp Band.]

Alexander... thank you.

Hagoromo, try to follow them, but don't engage. See if you can find out where they're going.

[At the same time her swan Pokémon flies off, Rise warps in Toyo to help with any injuries with Heal Bell and Softboiled.]

[Thankfully she'd worn her Calderan Vulcanweave vest under her coat mostly for layering and for minimizing physical damage. Who knew she'd have to use it for protection against flame damage in Glacier? As is, she's had to stop, drop and roll to put out her coat.

She surveys her team. They're not too badly off, either.]

We're okay here. How about everyone else?

[She's curious as to where they're going, but not particularly eager for another battle so soon after this one.]

[Momotaros squealed in protest upon seeing Rise's Swanna flying off. Take him with you~! He can still fight! Let him at 'em!] Piiiiig! Pig-pig!

Yeah, let's go help track them down! [But Right and his Tepig barely got more than a few steps before being grabbed from behind by their Lucario friend.] Softy! What the--?

Lucari-rio! [Idiots! They're even far stronger than our group's leading pair! Think for once, Right! Soft Steel growls at the both of them, especially his Trainer.]

[ So much for interrogations, but spilled Milk Drink's nothing to cry over. Haruka slows, sheathing her sword, and looks around to assess the damage - is there anything left they can do here?

Sky, for her part, offers their retreating enemies a curtsy. And a very good day to you! ] Bear.

They won't be taken unawares again.

[Nidoqueen nods, apparently satisfied with how they dealt with the Delphox. Michiru urges her Rapidash forwards, toward Haruka and the rest of the group.]

Or that easily outnumbered.

[and here's a sooty, but smug looking, Vaporeon dousing the last of the flames, followed by a watchful Gardevoir.]
