Rise of the Shadows!

[Moonlost]

Baaz saw Olivia and Jaws out of the corner of his eye. Everywhere he looked he saw desperate pokemon, fighting even though there was no hope. And here he was, refusing to fight against two who would tear them open at the slighted opportunity. Honour be damned, these people needed help. He roared, letting flames burst around his body. he cahrged forward, knocking Venin and Gamin to the side.

Baaz used Flare Blitz!

He turned and ran out the cave, catching up with Summer. "You have the right idea milady" He called out. "May I assist you?"

~

Venin scowled, her mouth slightly burned from baaz's sudden fiery outburst. Gamin started to dash after him, but Venin placed a paw in his way.

"He's charging right into the Dusk horde. He'll be flayed alive soon enough." Gamin growled angrily, but nodded. The two Hounds turned to help Seventeen, dashing at the Lord of Time. The two of them leaped at him, just as time stopped.

~
Seventeen swiveled around, preparign to jump at Dialga again. Just as she was abotu to spring, she was slammed with a large stone-encrusted tail, smashing into the side of the wall. As she was startign to get up, time slowed to a crawl. Rage built up in her time-stopped body.

[rubybeam]

Ads time froze so did rosen he was half transparent though and hard to find, thunder was seen kicking into the air mass amounts of thunder forming around her

[Lupis]

Summer noticed time freeze and took advantage of it, looking around desperately for Scarab. Where was he!? She noticed a lone tree and nodded. He liked trees. She glanced back at Baaz. "Yes, sir, I would accept your help. Quite readily. He's going to fight back, but I need him unconscious." Running around frozen Dusk, she leapt into the tree, climbing up to the frozen Scarab. Hands was statue-like on his shoulder. A new cloak covered most of his body, probably to make him look menacing. Rage made her vision red but she forced it down, waiting for time to restart to knock the Kabutops out.

Scarab watched Summer approach and snarled mentally, preparing himself to spin and slice her throat.

[Azunara]

"Right, get ready for it." He replied, and time suddenly snapped back to normal. Dialga wearily threw a safeguard on himself, then retreated some. "That...really take a lot out of you." He said. Solara threw a heal on him, and Speck was still leaping and destroying Dusk, causing havoc, her shades helping her. Dagger and Eleredar were still fighting as well. Both had numerous scratches.

Dialga used Safeguard!
Solara used Morning Sun!
Speck used Night Shade!
Dagger used Steel Wing!
Eleredar used Faint Attack!

[Magnakilro]

Heracross continued fighting, then suddenly screamed in pain again.

[Azunara]

((Grats on green name, Lupis. ))

[Moonlost]

Baaz grinned. "As you wish, milady." He briefly thought about boosting ehr up to the branch to help, but had a better idea. Still running, he leapt up at the branch and let loose a burst of fire at it, making sure not to hit the Glacion and hoping to burn it from the tree.

((EDIT: Amg Azu is right, Grats Lupis! ))

[rubybeam]

Zincano immdeatly ran to heracorsses side "What's wrong?" she asked

[Magnakilro]

"MY LEG!" he yelled in pain.

On his leg, a pair of blood red pincers skewered Heracross's leg, "Hello Heracross and Zincano!"

It pulled Heracross into the ground.

[Lupis]

Summer reacted immediately to the restart of time, lashing out at the back of Scarab's neck. She had, however, underestimated his speed. Her paw met a very sharp scythe and she bit back a scream as said paw was nearly cut off. A force as strong as the power of history itself blasted her back, into the trunk of the tree.

Scarab spun faster then the traitor Summer, and he slashed, then blasted her with prehistoric power. Hmph. All who tried assassinating him would meet the same fate. He watched, amused, as she whined in pain and gasped, the breath forced out of her lungs. The branch, however, quickly burned out from under him. Surprised, he landed in a somewhat messy roll and spun, staring murderously at Baaz.

Scarab uses AncientPower!

((Oh, hey, look at that. *Prods shiny new name color*))

[Kira]

Daray slowed to a stop as he glared at the dusk, letting out a sigh. May as well do this a different way. He glanced at Molly once, closing his eyes before he moved out toward the dusk bodily, attacking them with everything he had..though it wasn't too much.
Delora began to pant lightly, taking in a deep breath before she opened her mouth and sent a stream of fire at the dusk.
Daray used Sucker Punch!
Daray used Dark Pulse!
Delora used Flamethrower!

[rubybeam]

"HERACROSS!" zincano immdeatly follwed digging into the ground following trying to get to heracross desperatley

[Lupis]

For every Dusk that fell, more moved in to replace them - a few infected humans filtered in. They aimed Pokeballs at Dialga, Delora and Deoxys, trying to capture them alive.

The Dusk as a whole moved in more, intending to trap the uninfected in a corner.

[Magnakilro]

Sounds of a fight could be heard underground. Screams of pain, mostly Heracross were heard.

Pinsir then leapt out of the ground, scratched up, holding a bloody heracross up by the horn, "Why didn't you just join me brother...? This could have been prevented..."

[Azunara]

Dialga growled tiredly, still not doing much. The Lord of Time was exhausted. And then a pokeball opened near him, trying to trap him. He screamed angrily, avoiding its pull. He leaped away from its grasp, falling back. Suddenly, a pidgeotto stole a ball from a human, depositing it in Terra's hand. Ace rapidly translated, "Dialga, trust her. She needs to capture you in a ball so they can't. She'll release you as soon as they're gone."

---

There was a sudden pulse of energy, and a sense of ominous dread.

Speck used Dark Pulse!
Speck used Ominous Wind!

The haunter had fled through the Other Side, tracing Summer and Baaz. "Aw, look. You're outnumbered." She said to Scarab tauntingly, gathering her energy for another attack.

((...Dusk Speck scares me. O_o))

[Moonlost]

Seventeen felt time rush though her again. She barked then charged at the Flygon. She had a few tricks to help take care of her type. She jumped up, trying to lock her teeth around the dragon's leg.

Seventeen used Bite!

Venin and Gamin heard the bark from their leader and spun about once they landed, charging at the flygon themselves. Venin's body began to liquify as she ran.

Venin used Acid Armour!

Gamin, in turn, began to yip and taunt Tira. "Hah, you're nothing more than an overgrown dragonfly! I've swatted away more annoying pests than you!"

Gamin used Swagger!

~

Baaz grunted as the primal forse slammed into his side. It hurt a lot, but he used that pain to strike out against the Dusk leader.

Baaz used Reversal!

[Kira]

Delora let out a whine at the arrival of humans, her attacks stopping. "Oh crap...I can't kill them.." She felt bad enough about attacking humans before damn it.
Daray blinked and stared at the humans, then closed his eyes and began to humm, trying to send them to sleep.

Kyuu backed up from the fight, hurting and whining. She glanced around, starting to shiver, her eyes closing. Mewtwo...I need a favor.
What's going on, what-?
No time! Send me to Chomps grave, NOW!
Kyuu glanced up as she felt herself shimmering. "I'll be back!" She called, just before she disappeared, popping in at the grave site and nearly falling over.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys deflected the pokeball back to the trainer, "I may have ended my crusade...but I'll be DAMNED if I let you catch me..."

[Kamalia]

Julius sucked in a breath, his face screwing up in determination as he attempted to use Surf. He gasped and completely lost his focus as a sharp prick lanced across his ribs. He stared in bewilderment at his side. A tiny hole had formed there, a sickly purple-greenish liquid oozing out of it. His eyes widened and he almost screamed, but instead found himself faceplanted into the dirty, bloody floor of the cave, his back throbbing from the strike he took. A sudden awful wave of nausea added his lunch to the mess on the ground. He weakly tried to turn his dirty face up to see his attacker looming over him.

"Hello again, Runt."

Molly stared after Daray as he vanished into the dark mess of Dusk. She whimpered softly, raising a hand toward the way he went.

Molly used Wish!
Molly used Protect!

She prayed it was enough to let her see him alive again before either one of them died. She threw out as many Wishes as she could, trying to help her teammates regain their strength.

"Says the runty little pup!" Tira hissed, then yowled as her leg was punctured by Seventeen's fangs. Tira threw herself against the ground, summoning an attack she hoped would drive them away.

Tira used Earthquake!

[rubybeam]

Zincano came out of the ground "no! no! NO! NO! this can't be happening pincir WHY!?" zincano stated she couldn't bring herself to harm the bug she had known him too long
