Too many puppers

With this many pokemon out and battling, as well as having different opponents, it was...chaotic. Despite this, the pack of scavengers were clearly skilled despite their smaller size. The five rockruff, who had expected to be targets first, expertly stuck together - excluding the one that was separated via Mirai Soleil 's Floatzel. While this made them easier to hit via Frederick Ferdinand 's monferno's Mach Attack or noelani palm 's Chansey's Rollout, it also made them a force to be reckoned with. Zombie 's Chimchar would expertly battle one of the rock dogs, avoiding being touched by the wild pokemon up until its capture. As soon as that blinding light died, a different Rockruff would jump forward, shards of rock slamming forward and into Zombie 's Chimchar via Rock Throw. Another Rockruff would attempt a Bite attack on noelani palm 's Chansey - both hurting itself and the Chansey in the process.[break][break]

The rockruff Mirai Soleil 's Floatzel was fighting was obviously intimidated at suddenly being separated from his kin, but, would put up a valiant effort. The relentless water attacks would strike the tiny rock puppy over and over - and once, glowing fangs would close around the Floatzel's tail in a well-placed Bite attack. Weakened and battered, he'd cling onto the Floatzel, refusing to let go - only until a pokeball would suddenly strike him, absorbing him inside of it and ceasing the battle. [break][break]

Stunned briefly by the terrifying Leer administered by ALEXANDER LOWELL 's Absol and weakened by the powerful Rollout, the rest of the Rockruff's would slowly fall in line to being captured. Lycanroc (Midday), seeing this, was the first to react. With a resounding howl, several sharp stones materialized from her body, the Accel Rock attack striking forward and ramming into both Frederick Ferdinand 's Monferno and ALEXANDER LOWELL 's Absol before they could do anything. Before she could follow up with another fast and relentless attack, a long, serpentine tail cloaked in water would strike her body, sweeping her forward. The Aqua Tail would miss the other two Lycanroc completely thanks to the accuracy being off via the previously used Sand Attack.[break][break]

The skilled predator's jaws would cloak themselves in electricity, even through the pain of the super effective Aqua Tail, and use the water to her advantage. A skillfully placed Thunder Fang would travel up noelani palm 's Dragonair, doing surprisingly sharp damage thanks to the water. She'd attempt to latch onto the dragon type via her teeth - but, was knocked away by an incredibly deadly Iron Head thanks to Azad 's Scizor. A sharp yelp of pain released itself from the Lycanroc (Midday) as her body thumped against a tree.[break][break]

The wolf would try to stand once more, faintly glancing over at noelani palm as she tried to speak some sense into the hungry predator. It was a valiant, but futile, attempt, as the pokemon's teeth would only bare. She'd strike forward to sink her teeth into the nearby woman, but, a single, well-placed Psychic by Oranguru was more than enough to, finally, knock out the injured pokemon. [break][break]

Her sibling, Lycanroc (Midnight) and her mate, Lycanroc (Dusk), would be the only two remaining pokemon - enraged by the defeat and capture of the rest of their pack. [break][break]

Even among the sudden drastic change in numbers, the synergy of the two remaining pack members was best not to be undermined. Lycanroc (Midnight) took the blunt force of Frederick Ferdinand 's Nidoking's Earth Power. However, the werewolf like pokemon was far tougher than one would think. A pawed hand would once again create a cloud of sand via Sand Attack, as the Nidoking's attempt at a fight was otherwise obsolete when the wolf heard the commanding howl of its leader. It'd turn tail and rush to Lycanroc (Dusk)'s defense. [break][break]

In a powerful showcase of its impressive defenses, Lycanroc (Midnight) would take the blunt force of Azad 's Dragonair's Aqua Tail - however, it wasn't down just yet, despite being heavily injured. With its terrifying eyes gleaming rather cockily, a fist that glowed brightly would suddenly slam into the Dragonair with extreme force. The powered up Counter was enough to send even the mighty dragon type flying backwards, as a victorious, challenging howl left the Lycanroc (Midnight)'s jaws. [break][break]

Lycanroc (Dusk) would use its companions shoulders as a kick-off - not striking Azad 's Dragonair despite being closest, but, the man's Scizor instead. With keen intellect, the agile pokemon flew through the air, tackling into the metallic bug and pinning it to the ground. Previously green hued eyes would turn a malicious, glowing red as he struck forward. The smell of metal burning could be smelled, as fangs alight with fire sunk into the Azad 's Scizor's shoulder. The Fire Fang would deal critical damage, enhanced not only by the pokemon's ability, but, the howl attack it'd previously gave as well. [break][break]

The way the embers lingered on the horribly injured pokemon's red body indicated the presence of a burn. Empowered by the fury of its fallen comrade and hunger, the alpha would move to otherwise finish the scizor off - had another Psychic not thrown it off the scizor, otherwise saving the bug from a horrible fate. [break][break]

Landing on its feet after being assaulted with the psychic attack, Lycanroc (Dusk) would regroup with its remaining pack member. Side to side, the two remaining, formidable wolf pokemon were not done in their attack. Lycanroc (Midnight) looked critically injured, but, the pokemon looked ready to fight once more. The alpha Lycanroc (Dusk) looked briefly deterred by the resolve of noelani palm in attempting to make them take their fainted companion and flee, but, would only sharply bark at her in outrage.[break][break]

Oranguru himself would shake his head towards the woman - noting her fondness of calling him 'Uncle', but, didn't seem to mind at all. "Little human, I admire your kind spirit - please always keep it. However, there are somethings that kindness simply will not fix - especially on an Island cursed like this." Perhaps there was sympathy in his voice towards the two remaining Lycanroc and the kindly professor both - but, he did not oblige noelani palm 's request, instead opting to aid Frederick's request. "I said I would aid you did I not, my friend?" The sage pokemon's voice sounded a bit whimsical. [break][break]

A bright light would suddenly crack over the battle field, caging the wolves in a 'room' full of light. The previously fast predators would find themselves much, much slower as Oranguru used Trick Room. Combined with the Thunder Wave issued by noelani palm 's Dragonair and the effects of the Trick Room, the Lycanroc was basically stuck in their position, electricity crackling over their body as they snarled at the Trainer's. They were not done just yet though. The drastic duo had one last plan - one last ditch effort, either to seek revenge or finish the hunt they had started. [break][break]

Both pokemon would release a rippling howl, utilizing a combined Stone Edge. The attack was a beautiful display of the unison the two had...and would likely have been very deadly had it not been for Oranguru's Trick Room. At a far slower pace than they should've been, the sharpened pillars of stone would erupted from the forested ground in random, disastrous motions. It was time to run - unless you wanted to possibly get shish kabobed by a jagged rock pillar? [break][break]

Unfortunately, both Zombie , whose earlier mention for help had been rejected by Frederick and left him closer towards the two Lycanroc, and Azad , who was the slowest of the group, were at the largest risk of being skewered alive by the rising pillars. [break][break]

• Azad now feels a bit better! While still injured, he can move faster and doesn't feel fatigued anymore.
• All attempts to capture a Rockruff are successful. 
• ALEXANDER LOWELL 's Absol takes 10% of damage from the Stealth Rocks, and 20% of damage from Lycanroc (Midday)'s Accel Rock. It gains +1 level for fighting!
• Azad ...you poor thing. Your Dragonair takes 10% of damage from Stealth Rock. Dragonair gains +1 levels from fighting. Due to its boosted attack, ability, and the attack's typing though, Scizor takes a whooping 65% of damage from Lycanroc (Dusk) Fire Fang. Scizor is now burned, and will take 30% of burn damage through Azad's next 3 posts. Scizor gains +2 levels from fighting and helping knock out a Lycanroc.
• Frederick Ferdinand 's Nidoking is pretty darn lucky, as it only takes 5% of damage from Stealth Rock, and gains +1 level from helping out. Monferno though takes 20% of damage from the Stealth Rock, and 30% of damage from Lycanroc (Midday)'s Accel Rock. Both Monferno and Nidoking gain +1 level.
• Mirai Soleil 's Floatzel takes 10% of damage from the Stealth Rocks and 15% of damage from that bite attack via Rockruff. It gains +1 level.
• noelani palm 's Chansey gains +1 level for helping out, but, takes 10% of damage from the Rockruff's bite attack. Her Dragonair takes 10% of damage from the Stealth Rock, and  15% of damage thanks to the enhanced Thunder Fang via Lycanroc (Midday). It gains +2 levels from helping take out a Lycanroc. 
• Zombie 's chimchar takes 20% of damage from the Stealth Rocks as well as 20% of damage from the Rockruff's Rock Throw attack. It gains +1 level for fighting.

Some of you were smart and followed the sagely ape's lead in leaving the trapped wolves alone and running...Some of you though...would have to pay some consequences. [break][break]

Frederick Ferdinand 's Nidoking was successful in aiding in Zombie 's survival, whether he'd want to admit to it or not. The multiple pillars of jagged glowing stone that erupted around the duo of wolves were slowed by the sudden tremor of earth - some of the pillars even collapsing. It gave noelani palm 's Dragonair plenty of time to swoop in and save Zombie without any risk of injury, especially as a dagger-like pillar of stone erupted directly underneath where his feet used to be. [break][break]

All that left was Azad . The poor professor had no choice but to save himself. Stone pillars would spiral around the Lycanroc's, tearing through the ground and jutting upwards - but, thankfully, his Dragonair swooped to the rescue, managing to save its trainer before he could skewered. The Dragon Rage delivered by the dragon type towards Lycanroc Dusk injures it enough to get it to briefly pause - granting them easy passage into reuniting with the others.[break][break]

And then there was Scizor. The injured bug was a brave one indeed. In a frantic attempt to return to the battle, noelani palm 's chansey would be unable to heal him completely. With an impressive speed, he'd head towards the trapped Lycanroc, but...it wasn't as easy as he would think. Heading into Trick Room's vicinity with such a speed was foolish. As soon as Scizor stepped foot into the attack's dimensions, he'd be slowed to a crawl, and otherwise, forced to abandon his attack. This wasn't without consequence though. Several stone pillars would erupt from the ground, roughly skewering into the pokemon over and over. Lycanroc (Dusk) would start towards Scizor while its gravely injured counterpart would keep up its Stone Edge. Fire crackled around the wolf's jaws - it was going to finish what it had started with the bug.[break][break]

Thankfully though, this would not be Scizor's fatal end. [break][break]

A glow would encase the bug, as Oranguru used Psychic to maneuver Scizor to safety. Azad would feel one of the pokeballs on his belt wiggle - forcibly clicked open and watching as Scizor was forcibly returned to its Pokeball via Oranguru's Psychic, thus protecting the bug/steel type from being skewered alive. [break][break]

With the wolves trapped and both on the verge of passing out, the sage monkey would only motion for the group to continue forth. The trek was quiet, it was apparent that even Oranguru was at unease. However, after only twenty minutes of cutting through the forest thanks to Oranguru, the vast form of the temple seemed closer than ever. You could see it beginning to peak through the thick trees that blocked your path! [break][break]

You all had finally made it. And without running into 'it' either. How lucky.[break][break]

Oranguru would briefly pause to regard you all with a kind, stern gaze. He seemed relieved - if not a bit proud. "We're nearly there." The old pokemon would encourage, "listen to me well, humans. Your knowledge of what is real and true will be the key to your survival. Do not lose sight of this. However, I believe in you all." His scholarly words were laced with warmth. [break][break]

....And then, it happened.[break][break]

No one saw it coming. No one could prepare for it. And no one was ready for the disaster that would unfold. [break][break]

Red. Red began to trickle from Oranguru's throat, as two gargantuan claws pierced directly through it, bathed in an eerie dark light. Oranguru didn't flinch. He regarded the group with calm, somber eyes."I see...this is where my journey with you ends, chosen ones."[break][break]

Rip![break][break]

In a tremendous show of strength, the claws would rip through the sage pokemon's throat, tearing it - and along with it, the pokemon's head. Blood would shower upon any who were close, as the ape's body slouched forward, falling to the ground, blood seeping from his headless shoulders. The Pikipek in noelani palm's arms would let out a shrill wail - possibly in grief for its slaughtered friend. And then, a massive foot would step upon the ape's body, as it finally appeared.[break][break]

With a vile roar that made even the tree's shudder, the opponent that even Oranguru feared would make its appearance. Towering over all who dared to gaze at it, a Kommo-o stood. Its eyes were purely white, whilst its body quaked in an dark aura - Dragon Dance, maybe? Dark purple markings spiraled against its scaled hide. It'd raise its bloodied claw to its mouth, a tongue lapping at it - tasting it, before, finally, its thoughtless gaze would rest on your group.[break][break]

Then it attacked.[break][break]

It was clanging scales - but, it was as though the attack was...far stronger than it should've been. The blue shock wave emitted from the dragon type swiftly as it loudly roared once more. Trees would be blown from their roots and the ground would splinter and tear apart, as the powerful attack headed straight towards your group.[break][break]

If you didn't defeat this thing - if that was even possible...It'd kill you.

• Azad , your Scizor is healed of its burn thanks to noelani palm . It healed only 20% of health thanks to dashing off to fight again. While it gains +1 level for its bravery, it also takes 35% of damage from taking on the blunt of those Stone Edge. Heed the warnings and choose your battles more wisely, Scizor. Dragonair also gains +1 level for that snazzy save.
• Frederick Ferdinand 's Nidoking gains +1 level for helping out with that escapade.
• noelani palm 's Chansey gains +1 level for healing stubborn as heck Scizor. Her Dragonair gains +1 level for saving Zombie 's lazy behind. Palm also gets a special shout out for using her Lum Berry on Azad .
• Mirai Soleil 's Floatzel gains 30% health back from the Sitrus Berry.
• The Kommo-o's Noble Roar Variant decreases the Attack and Special Attack of any pokemon present by two. It's own Speed and attack is increased once by Dragon Dance.
