Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Ketsin kept his shields as strong as he could, pushing more power into the one he set around Cro.
Ciro pulled away from his mother and growled, his fur seeming to sharpen as he changed into his attack forme. He snarled and sent out his own Psycho Boost, one which almost matched his fathers.

[rubybeam]

Thunder gave her broken leg a shake she smiled greedily as she was now fully repaired, with the expetion that she was a bit sore that didn't matter to her she just wanted some action she was starting to charge electrivity with the other electricity pokemon she mane heavily glowing blue (they glow blue instead of yellow from what iv'e seen) with blue sparks using it as a trampline it seemed

[Moonlost]

((Hehe, it's all good ))

Venin didn't know what to do. Well, that was a half truth. She wanted to run as far away as she could. Staying here was suicide. But Gamin was still fighting and Seventeen was still half dead. She blinked. Why the hell did she care? She owed them nothing. Up until recently, Gamin had been a snotty little runt and Seventeen had beat her up more than the Dawn did. But some tiny part of her didn't want to leave. A vestige of her former self, perhaps? Whatever it was, it pissed her off.
She had enough.
Still liquid, she flattened herself as low as she could to the ground and glided away. Let those fools fight for nothing. She would be the one laughing at the end of the day.

Psychosis hissed at the stubborn dragon. He jumped in front of Cro and started to swing his pendulum. S̘̫̭̬̏̐ĺ̋́͏͔̞͍̬ẹ̠͈̦̺̖̠ͬ͂̾̇̂ͯ̍e̢̲̟ͅe̲̠̝͐͒͛͠e̢͎̱̖͛̀ḛ̈́e͆͛̎̐ȩ̟͗̓ͦ̚p̜̔̂̐.̽̃͑ͨ̉̋̑.̧̜͚̘̱̜̬͈̂̐͗̔ͥ̐̊.̸̴̙̮̘͙̼̻̼̪̲̗̽̈́ͣͯͣ͛ͩͭͅ

Psychosis used Hypnosis!

[Azunara]

Cro growled angrily as a wave of dizzying sleep swept over him. He whined stubbornly. He would not be left at the mercy of the Dusk. He would not fall. He would kill them for what they did. He weakened his grip, struggling to stay awake. As a last-ditch effort against the pendulum, he growled, focusing his energy...And then there was a steady, rather annoying ring in his head. He couldn't sleep now, if he wanted too.

Cro used Safeguard!

He was still a bit dizzy, falling back to recover briefly, keeping an eye on Scarab as well.

[Lupis]

Scarab grounded himself, hardening his shell and letting the lightning run through him, into the ground. It hurt, but watching his body move as he was, it didn't concern him. He hissed angrily, annoyed that the little pest was suddenly so powerful. It was a child. They couldn't do that. He disappeared into the crowd and came up beside Buzzard and Insins. "Buzzard. Take him to sssafety." he ordered. The Charizard nodded and nosed the scientist.

The fire attack was ready. This one was shot towards Cro. It was quite similar to the one used against Dialga, but it approached in a different way, a slithering snake of fire that weaved around as if going towards Deoxys, then twisting towards Cro. If not blocked, it would wrap around Cro like ropes of magma.

((Edit- need to disappear for an hour or so... Homework to do. I'll be back. Please don't kill everyone while I can't react. x.x For now, you have control over the Dusk, Moon.))

[Moonlost]

((Okey-dokey! Once you get back though, I'm going to take my leave. I'm feeling a little light headed.))

Insisn felt the muzzle of the Charizard poke at him. His pain warped mind managed to pull out Psychosis' pokeball and return him to it before clinging onto Buzzard.

[Azunara]

Cro snarled as the human got away, and turned to face Scarab, a look of intense focus on his thought. He paused, and gave a shrill roar. Aiming for offense then defense, specters of the past sprang up. Dawn, Dusk and Sunrise that existed and died in the past were suddenly ripped to the present at Cro's summons. He had a few of them stay near him, but the rest immersed itself in the army, tearing Dusk that got to close.

The fire attack reached Cro, as he was unable to move, and most of it was picked up his Specters, which faded rather quickly at the spell. He took some of the attack though, his legs temporarily entangled. Most specters snapped out of existence, unable to last too long. However, he poured energy to maintain a past Dialga, a past Chomp, since he had been dead at one point, and a past Delora, which all launched themselves at Scarab.

Cro used Roar of Time!

((Essentially, see the Specters as meat shields that claw and bite. They don't know anything special.))

[Moonlost]

A few dusk flung managed to peel themselves away from their own fights to fling themselves at Cro's time spectres, intercepting them before they could hit Scarab. A dusk Crobat launched itself at the spectre of Dialga, a Dusk Rhydon at the spectre of Chomp and a Dusk Ursaring at the spectre of Delora.

[Azunara]

The Specters were a bit stronger than the mass ones Cro had produced, so they didn't fade instantly, instead striking their new foes. Cro glared, recovering, occasionally firing blasts at the Dusk that got to close. The stupid bug would die, and he would make sure of it.

Cro used Flash Cannon!

[rubybeam]

Red eyes glared obvouisly behind cro in the shadows "Have I found gold! the tender flesh of a chubby baby legendary, so so tender and rich a gods food..no GOD itself! whoever granted me with this pleasure will get me worshipping them for years!" a huge maw lashed out of the shadows snapping at cro

((I'm sorry to ruin cro's moment...))

[Azunara]

((Great. You've just caught Cro in a bad moment. He will stop at nothing to tear Quest apart.))

Luckily, Ketsin's shield protected Cro, keeping him safe from the sudden attack. He snarled at his new attacker, once again roaring. Meteors plummeted from the sky, crushing any Dusk too close, but he aimed most of them at Quest, teeth bared. "You'll die before I let you touch me." Cro spat.

[rubybeam]

"AHAHAHA!~ you're such a feisty one! I love that that means you're meat will only be more full of nutreints!" the hybrid immdeatly reacted to the meteors somehow switching himself out and leaveing another poor unfortant dusk in his place
quest used baton pass!

((Well quest REALLY wants to eat cro now))

[Azunara]

Cro growled angrily, not caring. At least a Dusk fell. He focused, trying to find where Quest had gone. One of his Specters, the Specter Chomp, was peeled off at Cro's command and also helped him to find Quest, swinging its claws. The other two Specters continued fighting Dusk. Holding these specters was getting tiring, but at least he had been fully rested or so, coming into this battle.

[Moonlost]

A dusk Pidgeotto dived in front of Cro's attack, taking the hit instead of it's master. It screeched in pain as it fell from the sky. A Dusk Dustox dove down as well, throwing up a barrier in front of it's leader.

Dusk Dustox used Protect!

A line of fire pokemon formed up. In unison, the unleased a blast of flame, lighting nearby plantlife on fire and creating a burning wall in front of Cro and his timestream phantasms.

Fire Dusk used Flamethrower!

~

Gamin snarled at the dawn around him. Damn! How could they manage this many? He turned to look at Seventeen... who was alone... Where was Venin?
"Venin!" He called, hoping she was fighting somewhere. His call went unanswered. Damn it! With a snarl, he jumped over to Seventeen's body and stood over it, snarling. It was a futile gesture. He knew he couldn't stand up to these odds. But he'd rather be torn alive than to abandon her.

[rubybeam]

((and I have to study for a test I got tommorrow first thing in the mourning.))

[Azunara]

Cro was unable to strike Scarab, so he decided to finish off Quest. His time ghosts flicked to his side, fading slightly as he was using more energy to maintain the spell. They flanked him, protecting him as he glanced around, claws digging the earth.

((Quest survives another day, then.))

[rubybeam]

((Oonnneee more post..no actually I have plans for quests death and it is really.violent. just imagine being melted alive by an angry charizard twin whose other twin got killed by some gadevoir mawhile hybrid while being forced to turn into a spiritomb at the same time by a sister of your you thought you killed a looong time ago))

[Kamalia]

Molly had quietly tended to any more injuries her companions sustained and was now working on Olivia. The Blaziken's face was bruised and battered from the direct Shadow Ball she took, the feathers near her face bent or torn out, leaving small trails of blood running down her face. Her body was scratched and battered. She blinked tiredly as the Gardevoir fussed over her.
Julius paced back and forth in an effort to keep himself distracted and to help him adjust to his new body.

[Lupis]

((Back, thanks for taking over for me, Moon. ))

Scarab was ready to get the fel out. Normally he wouldn't, even if it seemed futile - but something in the voices had changed. They made him see the other Dusk as meatshields and nothing more, temporary allies that could be thrown away at a moment's notice. He mocked himself for once caring. Whatever had made him throw himself into danger for his Dusk "family" was gone. He somewhat regretted that Seventeen would most likely die, but the voices were only concerned about the scientist now. They knew that he could perfect them. Infecting more Dusk would be easy. He looked at Buzzard, then decided to take a moment to make a distraction. He called a Ditto to him, and had the creature change its shape into one identical to himself. The ditto stalked off, looking like Scarab, while the true Kabutops stayed safely hidden away.

Buzzard carefully put the pained scientist on his back, then trotted off towards the forest to get some distance before taking off.

The ice, fire and Dark rings of Dusk began channeling new spells.
The Water combination was ready. A small droplet of water, so small it was hard to see, shot towards Deoxys and suddenly blasted forth a tremendous wave of ultra-pressurized water.
Water Dusk use Combination Hydro Cannon!/i]
The water-type wheezed, not ready to start channeling again.

[Azunara]

Cro snarled, calling up rain over the small area he was in to weaken the flame wall and get the nasty tangling magma vines off of him. He winced at the burning feeling, snarling painfully, but as the wall of fire died, his Specters rather weakly flung themselves at the Kabutos while Cro launched a Hyper Beam.

Solara shook herself awake, claws gently clicking the ground as she slowly become more awake. She was tired, and the constant fighting was getting to her, she was sore and stiff, considering how rarely she healed herself and focused on others. She looked at Ghost and Rust guiltily. She kind of dropped out on them. But...she did have to sleep. Sighing slightly, she cautiously padded over.

"Er, sorry. I really needed rest. Non stop fighting and healing really takes a toll. I'll be good for a while, though...Have you started teaching Rust to talk at all?"
