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…

Hm. The buzzing hasn't stopped. The buzzing is coming from - OH THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.

World Shaking picks up the pace, making full use of the (relative) speed that won him awards, prizes, and acclaim in his Rhyhorn days. He's just going to go as far inland as he can, following this horse, and figure Trainer will pick him up later. If he manages to draw these bugs away from Trainer and her friends, that is even better. This is one of those...it has a human word. Oh yes. A "plan". Now that he is a Rhyperior, his brain has developed to the point he can come up with these. Feels pretty good.

Accepting Michiru's hand, Haruka smiles and helps pull her onto Uranus. Thus loaded with not one but two giant sparkly thespians, the Salamence takes off, heading back for the target. It has to swoop to avoid Bug Buzz, so Haruka has to hold onto Michiru to keep them both balanced. How awful.

"It's got some kind of shield," she murmurs while they're close, watching the enemy. This was totally all just to have a strategy meeting before the last strike anyway, right?

Well drat. Is Haruka going to have to abandon two mounts in one battle?

"Uranus!" she snaps, and the Salamence drops, plummeting out of the sky to try and avoid that cannon. As it goes down, Haruka holds onto Michiru even more closely and zips up instead, propelling both herself and her partner into the sky.

"We've got one hit," she figures, but will leave which form that hit takes to Michiru. From where she's standing (floating, flying, hoping to not be disintegrated in midair, etc), she figures they can either double-team the thing with Pledges or Michiru can provide her cover while she zooms them both in for Earthquake. But she knows Michiru is a better judge of such things, so she'll let her partner decide. It wouldn't be fair to fly Michiru around without consulting her, either.

World Shaking is just going to keep running, drawing off the other bugs. He has missed running. This is fun. He should dig bears out of boxes more often.

Could do without the bugs, though.

Now it was Minako's turn to Mega-Evolve. She told her team to back up and used Meteor Mash against the horde closest to her.

To clear a path backwards and away, Houndoom, despite having been hit with the Sand Attack, still attempted a Fire Spin to make way.

Michiru holds on tight, leaving the maneuvering up to Haruka as she observes their opponent. She does, however, spare a glance for her Gardevoir as her worried Pokemon sets up a Light Screen. Split second decision, huh?

"Together, then." The glow of the Water Pledge forms in her free hand - though she wastes no time in sending it towards the Pokemon. Their Flight and Water Pledges veer towards the target, gathering in speed and intensity to form a waterspout.

...The falling rose petals are really just a bonus.

Michiru will be able to feel Haruka's chest heaving against her from the exhaustion of that beam fight (what a hardship). She's not falling out of the sky just yet, though. Her eyes are locked on the Genesect as if she can will it out of the sky. But even as she watches, waiting, she readies herself again. Just in case.

Seeing they were faltering, Minako pulls her team back a bit, and has Houndoom use Firespin on the rest of the Durants.
