Invasion: Start

The morning after the meteor shower, things start as they always do. Union’s gearing up for another day: people going to work, shops opening, kids heading to school, and foremen getting their crews to work on the last of the damage left by Kyurem’s rampage through the city. It’s just an ordinary day, with only a passing thought given to yesterday’s odd occurrences by anyone outside the scientific and psychic communities. There’s some very real theories floating around there, but there’s little real chance at anything solid coming from the discourse. At least, until reports start coming up Route 1 from the single port started by one Union entrepreneur two years ago. It’d grown quickly with Gigan help, seaborne trade flowing up the lone road, and now it was completely overrun.

Panicked sailors and land crew come streaming up the way, nursing hundreds and hundreds of Bug-type induced injuries. Beedrill stings, Spinarak bites, and photographs of several enormous members of a new species that’d yet to be recorded quickly circulate and prompt Council response. Whatever these things are, they’re clearly hostile and the risk of damage to the city itself seems likely given how quickly the port had been overwhelmed.

With the city still shaken by Kyurem’s attack, the Council wasted no time. The call to arms was put out and trainers hastily sent out to deal with the sudden intrusion. Anyone willing and able to fight was asked to head down the road as quickly as possible, with the intent of sorting this out and either diverting the tide or stopping the invasion cold. The road itself is deserted, abandoned wagons left in a hurry, and not a single wild Pokemon can be heard for miles. It’s almost like they were aware something big was coming, and even the more aggressive types clearly opted to clear out.

When it comes into view, the port itself seems to be in particularly bad shape. Smoke rises up into the horizon, and hundreds and hundreds of Bug types swarm all over the structures, chewing away at the wood and stone. But perhaps the most troublesome sight is the beings that are overseeing the attack. Several members of the new species, fifteen feet tall at minimum, twenty at the peak, direct the swarm in its efforts. And further out to sea, a singularly massive specimen, some forty feet tall, watches it all, hunched forward, dark eyes gleaming with interest as its minions go to work…

To fend off those pesky ledian, Litwick uses inferno, which seem to scare them off. The shockwaves practically send Arachne falling off the side of the platform she was on, though she manages to cling to it with a glare for the invader.

"You have got to be kidding me!"

... And then Gabite makes it's return with dig, hopefully striking the Genesect.

Adell's sudden stop against the Protect wall was pointedly unpleasant, his shoulder slamming into that field and fire erupting from the impact to no avail. Well, that suited him just fine. Even if his first attack was a No Sell, his second sure wasn't going to be!

...Well, until the Genesect jumped into the air. That wasn't going to end well. Adell's eyes widened... he was at point blank for what was coming and he didn't have anywhere he could go to avoid being hurt by the shock. All he could do was brace for impact....

Until the shrill call of a familiar bird rung in his ears. He looked up, only to be grabbed by the shoulders by Maverick, using a Quick Attack. The Pidgeot's flight speed was a sight to behold, and the bird snagged Adell from danger, pulling him up and away from the Giga Impact in the nick of time.

"Thanks, Mav. You can be my partner any time."

"Madam Curie!" she called out and the Lapras was quick to appear. "Sheer Cold around the harbor!" Even though the hyper beam would still rip through it, perhaps they could apply enough barriers to prevent it from being damaged too terribly.

To help, Ami herself used Blizzard to help with the Lapras' wall of ice.

"Focus on the creature in the water! We'll keep an eye on the bugs and steel types!"

Oh shoot. Rushing Wind uses Agility to try and outrun that Zap Cannon. Her Trainer has other ideas, however, and - jumps off in midair. A flash of light, a swirl of completely inexplicable rose petals, and Mega Haruka is flying through the sky in her miniskirt, high heels, and fancy little tiara, glancing back to check on Michiru before focusing on the main event.

And hurtling herself right at it with some Agility of her own. It can't counter what it can't react to in time, right?

"NoinoinoinoinoinoiNOOOOIIII!"

Nobody is allowed to mess with Veronica but Nemesis, apparently. The bat has wheeled and whipped up a Razor Wind to slice at that burning attacker from behind.

For her own part, Veronica sees that opponent charging - that very strong-looking opponent charging - and doesn't flinch. Instead, once it's close enough to hit, they'll collide. Its Flame Charge against her Foul Play.

On the battlefield, one uses what one has.

The Pokémon Kaiser has no such loyal partner - well, he has a Venipede, which...jumps up onto his leg and tugs, urging him to run away. "Don't distract me!" he snaps, which of course is when Giga Impact hits, knocking him off his feet to land in a rather indecorous sprawl of Mage robes and pain.

Gyarados, wishing to save its master any further embarrassment, floats down to scoop him up. From his new perch, the mighty ruler seethes. Now he's angry. Now he's hurting. Now all bets are off.

His hair now completely fluffed up with evil questionable Science bottled power, the Kaiser lashes out against the monster with Payback. "You see that?" he crows. "Dare to strike me, and I become more powerf--"

Then he has to stop and cough. The all-powerful Pokémon Kaiser bruised a few ribs. Yelling hurts.

Mac is stubborn, weathering the hit, though certainly feeling it as he's tossed aside, but not far enough to impact Mei. Rusty is ready to rejoin the fight, but as she stumbles to her feet and starts to limp towards the Genesect, Gordon gives her a sympathetic look and, with a hand to wounded flank, sends her back to the habitat. The warp band glows for an extra moment and a Blastoise appears, getting a quick lay of the land.

Gordon indicates the Volcarona. "Fire types. Keep them off our icy friends."

The Blastoise grins, and the stone around its neck begins to glow, the light soon engulfing it entirely as it Mega-Evolves. A Water Pulse lashes out at the nearest of the Volcarona. Mac regains his footing and rushes back in, this time looking to recover a little lost health with a Drain Punch.

Sinbad made a sound that seems like a thanks as it takes a few moments to administer the curative. Once he could feel the control coming back, he grabs at his mega-stone and evolves - fur growing over his tail, fox ears emerging, and his scales grow white as he launches himself out of the flour, sending it scattering everywhere.

His eyes focused on Veronica's attacker and raised his hand, causing the air around the strange being to plummet at an alarming rate, the moisture in the air around it quickly freezing - threatening to encase it in ice.

Mei stubbornly refuses to leave her protective cocoon. The thick layers of ice act as a barrier against the outside world and they only get thicker by the second. It's like she's in a Protective bubble or something. You could almost get the sense that she's reading a book in there.

Of course, that doesn't mean the Froslass is idle. As lazy as her trainer might seem, the Ghost is eager to get going and rolls up her metaphorical sleeves, launching a Shadow Ball at the Genesect's face, in hopes of lowering it's defense or something. At the same time...Snowball takes a stab at adding to the attacks against Volcarona by raising an Uproar!

As the Magikarp rain down, Kuroshi twists a leg, using it to turn in mid-air a bit and bring Genesect and itself down at an angle to send the monster to the ground while it can't do much of anything else. The Golurk's body shakes and rattles as it impacts the ground with an Earthquake...right in Genesect's recharging chest.

"Good job! Hit it now! Hard!"

That's Infernape's cue to come rushing in, hammering at Genesect's side with a Fire Punch!

Zap Cannon hit, and hit hard. Charizard's wings seized up and the two dropped down towards Sinbad's previous location. Thank goodness for flour sacks, because Duo wasn't thrilled with the idea of another crash landing so soon after his last. It was still hard, and that was definitely going to leave some deep bruises, though.

Houndoom held back so as not to free their attacker from its frozen prison with his fire-based attacks, but Duskull shot off a Confuse Ray at it.

Gardevoir grunts at the Pin Missile hits, holding herself in a defensive position and trying to avoid what she can. Her eyes glow as she uses Future Sight, but nothing seems to be happening right away.

Rapidash sniffs the air as it follows Rhyperior. This is strangely lulling.

Taking advantage of Poliwhirl's Rain Dance, Michiru aims a Hydro Pump at this new Pokemon. Then she braces herself as Noivern picks up on her thoughts and heads for land. It's going to hurt, but at least she doesn't plan on falling to the ground on top of getting fried.

"Eeehhh?"

Oh... yuck. Giant ant things!

Houndoom didn't even wait and used Fire Fang before Minako could make a call. She made a frustrated noise and waved in Staraptor.

"Aerial Ace!" Rico squawked an affirmation and dropped in with his attack!

Smart bug! But Haruka won't go down that easily.

"No you don't!" She doesn't know what that cannon might portend, but it can't be anything good. So as soon as she's got her own self reoriented after being blasted back by Signal Beam, she swipes an Air Slash at that cannon and then continues to try and close in on the bug. If she can just stay in the air make contact...

World Shaking sees nothing amiss with the smell aside from the fact that it makes him sneeze. He knocks on a box - anybody in here? - and then begins to try opening it. With his drill, if necessary. But he'll use his hands first.

Ice? Veronica can do ice, now that they're not using fire (for the moment). Nemesis is busy trying to avoid Zap Cannon, but the Child of the Ever-Changing Skies switches from summoning sun to summoning...well, the opposite. The temperature drops. Clouds form, threatening to hail.

And now, when she uses Weather Ball, it's to try and undo any progress that bug might make on freeing itself. "Finish it!" she calls to the others. Her hands are full just trying to keep this thing still.

The piercing, awful shriek that giant bug managed rang in Adell's ears, threatening to give him a splitting headache. Never was he more thankful to be carried around by Maverick; though the bird was disoriented briefly by the sonic blast, it kept flying.

"Mav," the Earthkin looked up to his Pidgeot partner. "Get ready to drop me on that bastard like a bomb. I'll take care of the rest." Adell looked down to his Blaziken, who stared up at him, almost awaiting orders. The Calderan smiled, nodded, and gave Andy a thumbs up. Now was the time. A pincer attack.

Maverick's broad wings flapped strongly as it turned toward Genesect. Then, with practiced daring, the Pidgeot closed up its wings and dove like a bomber above the insect. Its talons loosened their grip on Adell's shoulders, and he dropped rapidly feet first, his legs wreathing in flame. Meanwhile, Andy rushed in, through the Bug Buzz, tanking it and pushing through despite the pain.

The two aimed to impact at the same time: Adell from above with Soaring Fire and Andy from below with Blaze Kick.

Loken is struck by the heat wave, and crumples, Riolu standing by him protectively. His Honedge is also badly harmed by the attack, and floats low by his side. He slowly rises, the Paragon blade glowing in his hands, but he can't add any attacks from him or his Pokemon companions this time, too badly beat down by the fire type attack.

Nothing?

The Kaiser is still trying to wrap his brain around the idea of himself - HIMSELF! - being ineffectual when the Screech sends Gyarados flailing through the air and he finds himself having to hang on with String Shot to keep from falling. "Idiot!" he howls over the din, despite his own headache. "Can't you do anyth---"

And here comes the Bug Buzz. The Kaiser cuts the String Shot and drops to the ground, abandoning the Gyarados to get hit with the blast. Ralts is waiting for him on the ground, hurrying to see if he's all right but keeping its distance. Venipede is not so smart and gets a shoe to the midsection for its troubles.

"How dare you," he seethes, looking up with all the ferocious majesty a despot of his stature and capabilities has at their command (none). He can turn this around, though! He can! As soon as his ears stop ringing!

Any minute now!

Rapidash keeps an eye out for any other attackers since well. It's lacking in opposable thumbs.

Gardevoir doesn't hesitate as she blasts Heracross with Psychic, combining it with the Future Sight from before. She's got other problems to worry about.

There's a loud screech as Noivern and Michiru get hit. Thanks a lot, Lock-On. It feels like an age before the attack ends and another age before she manages to pull herself to her feet. And the first thing she does is send her sizzled Noivern back home and pull in Reuniclus, who takes a look at Trainer and then sends a Focus Blast at that thing in the sky.
