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…

Sinbad's tail flicks in anticipation, looking over the group - the only one he didn't know at least from passing was Veronica. Badr and Ja'far stayed closed to him, the ghost seems on edge from all the insects.

"Should've known something was going to happen when I woke up last night," He commented, frowning at the sight of the port in the condition that it's in.

Veronica assessed the damage and the number of enemies, taking in the scene as if swarms of insects descended upon settlements every day.

"We need fliers," she informed the people around her. The air began to warm, sunlight streaming through the clouds as her Child of the Ever-Changing Skies training kicked in. "Airborne troops, loop behind the larger ones. Those on the ground, focus on Fire-type attacks."

Her eyes took in each person here in turn, searching for possible volunteers for her battle strategy. Everyone here also had the right to refuse to accept her as being in command; she understood that. She'd alter her own plans once she had an idea how many people would cooperate. "We'll need a diversion."

Veronica stands her ground in the face of these attacks, sweeping a hand across the scene to scatter Ember: she's hoping to burn up that powder, but if she hits some Bugs, she won't complain. Nemesis takes to the air, hoping to explode that bomb in midair by hitting it with Air Cutter.

"The same orders apply," she tells the others, then turns to the giant Pokémon with what might look like a smile on her face. Almost like she's encouraging it to get closer.

If she and her companions don't turn out to have taken care of all that powder, though, they'll have a time limit.

As Sinbad was going to answer that everyone in his group were capable of light, the bugs attacked. He starts to cough then quickly covers the lower half of his face with his shirt to keep from breathing too much in.

The Gengar being part-poison seem to have little trouble with the powder, and with an annoyed scowl it charges towards the Dustox and Venomoths, it's fists crackling with a Thunder Punch, while the Dragonite launches Waves of thunder to paraylze as many as he could to give the group breathing room.

Sinbad took to the air to try to get above the poisonous dust, scanning their surroundings for what they can use to their advantage.

He got airborne? That puts Sinbad in an advantageous position. Veronica, continuing to raise the sunlight in the area as much as she can, summons Weather Ball and tosses it into the thick of the fray. She knows she's just buying time, though. If the enemy can replenish its forces this easily, they have to find an alternate method of getting around this problem.

Nemesis tries Supersonic, hoping to Confuse the bugs into fighting among each other (or dealing damage to themselves).

Badr stumbles as he tries to shake off the powder starting to settle on him - it's a disadvantage being such a huge pokemon sometimes.

"Ja'far, Badr - try to drive them off." He starts, looking at the debris, he spies several scattered fishing nets that look like they could be tugged into different positions if done just riiight... an idea forms. "Wait, drive them towards me."

The pair let out baffled squawks - and Gengar deliver a dope slap that passes right through the teen, he stares at them until they nod in agreement before he turns, sucking in air before he unleashed a sudden burst of electricity not unlike a charge beam towards the Moths, and immediately flies towards the dangling nets, turning to yank them down to impede and capture any that would follow him, while Ja'far tried to intimidate them to fleeing from him with a terrifying leer.
blastruler: (trance!)

Veronica doesn't even try to dodge: she knows there's no point against that attack. Instead, she has Nemesis hit the creature with a Razor Wind while the explosion rocks the ground, scattering debris everywhere.

When the dust clears, Veronica has been knocked off her feet; her Swords of the Savior uniform is charred, and she aches all over. But when she props herself up on one knee, she's smiling.

"Explosives against me," she remarks. "Some nerve."

And the Embers that she'd summoned using the dust cloud for cover streak towards her opponent.

Sinbad didn't fall under the sleepy effects, but he felt his muscles starting to seize up, with a groan between gritted teeth he tries to angle himself so he crashes into a pile of flour sacks that was spilled open thanks to the attack, kicking up a huge cloud of white dust as he lands.

"Ngh.... guh...." He tries to force his body to move, he could feel his muscles relax, then it would seize up - he'll have to time it to get anything done.

Ja'far was the first to rush to the human's aid, putting himself between him and the human, his eyes glowing red as he forms a ball of concentrated darkness launching it towards the Moths as a Shadow Ball. Badr follows up with a Dragon's Rage.

The powders and spores had done the initial trick and Duo was a bit slow on the uptake, but he and his team finally got moving again.

He climbed on the back of his Charizard, taking to the air. It wasn't going to be easy, but he had a few antis to spread around. Antidote, anti-paralysis... He had taken the time to cure his own team and now was flying to the others to make sure they got some, too.

"Sinbad!" He dropped a bottle as he flew overhead. He didn't know the other girl, but she seemed okay for now.

In the meantime, Houndoom came in at the moths from the side, letting loose with a Flamethrower and Duskull worked on them with its own Shadow Ball.

"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.

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.
divine_braid: (That Can't Be Good...)

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.

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 Zap Cannon also hit the young man, not only hurting, but causing every hair on his body to puff up, turning him into a giant white fluffball. He wobbles and floats on until he braces himself, and continues - freezing the air down lower, and lower, even down to turning what liquid is in it's body to ice to force it into a kind of cryogenic sleep - or Frozen status in laymen's terms - if his concentration breaks, it won't work.

Veronica's next Weather Ball aims for the cannon. Nemesis gets clipped by Signal Beam and falls out of the sky, but manages to flap over to Veronica and provide her cover so she can keep the ice going.

They have to finish this soon!

Duo went digging through his bag. His Charizard tried to use Dragon Rage. The two of them were having some serious issues moving, though, as Duo tried really hard to find more anti-paralysis sprays.

Houndoom kept a perimeter watch in the meantime, knowing his mostly fire-based attacks were pretty useless with an ice-based strategy. So, he stayed back for now, watching for any others that might try to make an attack.

Duskull stayed with the fight, firing off a Shadow Ball.

His eyes shot open at that terrible noise, ears pressing back - trying for one more push to completely freeze it before it could do whatever it was.

Ja'far and Badr pulled back, the latter was almost limping from the blow it took to protect Sinbad.

That glowing does not look good. No. No, it does not.

"Fall back!" Veronica keeps up the hailstorm but takes her own advice, looking for cover. Whether it's about to make a comeback or go for one last gasp, her troops had better not be in the line of fire.
