Crystal Carnage - Calamity Three

[Espurr]

Annabelle wasn't concerned with such trivial things as being 'late'. As far as she was concerned, it was much more advantageous to wait until her fellow admins had gotten into position, make sure that they'd started their assaults before starting hers.

Their search wouldn't be subtle. The time for subtlety had long passed. Still, however, she found herself preferring a bit more tact, waiting until she was certain about her chosen location to unleash her newest weapon.

And...well.

When the goal was to do as much damage as possible, what better a choice than the tourist capital of the region?

As much as she was pleased at the sounds of screams and destruction as the monstrous Pokemon tore through buildings like wet tissue paper, though, Anna didn't smile. After all, her subtlety had only allowed her to get into the heart of the city, and had been quickly cast aside once she was there- she had no doubts that someone with actual prowess would come to try and stop her soon enough.

She had to be on her guard.

Redshore town was a great place for lars to work, there were people over here on holiday who werent paying attention of had too much booze in their system to pay attention as well as people using a new lease on life to try new things or even just people feeling a little more open. All this worked well for his talks, his stories and the sales of his church over all.

That being said, half way through a speech and about to get to the fun bit, the man began to feel the ground shake below him and he growled. Who was battling in town? At this time of day? "Have some common sense!" he snapped as he turned his head, a crowd of people around him beginning to thin before the male watched as plumes of smoke and dirt rose in to the air and bodies began to flood down the street towards him.

Using the platform he was on, he ducked down below it and grabbed Kossix from where he had been on the stage, pulling the stupid fire type close to him since he expected the shiny was going to get trampled or wobble off in to more mischief as people fled around the duo. It didnt take long, the shaking grew closer and the noise of people fleeing moved away, giving lars a moment to peak out from his now shattered and broken stage to try and see what the hell was going on.

The sound of crashing and crumbling stuck out to Niko like a sore thumb amidst the din of the city. It sounded like one or more buildings were being demolished, but as he would soon find out, the situation was much worse than that. As he attempted to round the corner to see what was happening, he caught sight of a large number of civilians and their Pokemon fleeing from the sound of destruction in a terrified panic. Just what was causing the destruction was unclear from where Niko was, but considering the obvious danger present, he knew he couldn't stand idly by.

He attempted to call in to ascertain what was happening as he tried to help the fleeing civilians evacuate to safety. From what he was informed, some unidentified creature had begun tearing through the city with reckless abandon, toppling buildings and killing civilians, and it showed no signs of stopping. This wasn't much information to go off of, but it at least confirmed that it was most likely some sort of Pokemon causing the destruction. But what kind of Pokemon was it, and what was such a powerful and destructive one doing in the heart of the city?

Well, if he wanted to find out, he'd have to approach the scene, try to combat whatever was causing the carnage, and aid any trapped or injured individuals he found along the way.

Niko's on his way to the scene!

[Remy 'Thorn' Dupris]

Thorn was sitting at the table of a very nice casino lounge, waiting for his drink.  He had been bored out of his mind robbing people blind of their money from the poker table, and now he and Fenrir were relaxing.  He saw the girl walking over, carrying two very expensive glasses of bourbon.  The Granbull sitting with him wagged his tail happily.  Everything was going great.

Then the world started growing chaotic.  A large sound could be heard even through the walls as something happened to the building next to his.  Sirens started blaring and an evacuation order was given.  As people began to mad shove their way towards the exit, being the blind Mareeps they were, the waitress got jostled and sent the two drinks flying.  Fenrir took a blast right to the face as he was now dripping with bourbon.  Thorn's left arm jacket was also soaked. 

This was a new suit.  He had JUST picked it up from the tailor's THIS MORNING.

Something snapped in his mind.  He had been so worked up trying to hunt down the Crystals he had even skipped a contest, under the excuse that he had the flu.  Today he just wanted to rip off some losers and enjoy himself and even THAT couldn't be done.

Thorn got up and snarled.

"Fenrir."

The Fairy-type heard the command and followed his trainer against the rushing masses towards the fire exit closest to the loud noise.

"Are we not evacuating, sah?"

Thorn glanced down with a look of pure hatred painted on his face.

"Find whoever is doing this.  Now."

The Granbull immediately began sniffing the air as they stepped out into the alleyways of Redshore, trying to track the scent of whoever was causing the chaos.  Thorn glanced at the rubble and injured and dying bodies trapped beneath.  He saw the rampant destruction, and needed to find whoever caused it for the simplest of reasons.

His suit had been ruined.  People were going to die for that.

The sounds of pure panic and utter chaos erupted through the town. Human and pokemon a like, scatter in all direction to escape whatever was causing the place to, quite literally, fall apart. Naturally, Vallon didn’t give two crap about it. In fact, there was a part of him the relished in the mass hysteria. People trampling over each other, pokemon fleeing for their lives, and even the building crumbling before him was a sight to see. Yet, the gijinka now understood why he was sent here. What a bother…[break][break]

Blue intense orbs flickered over the scene before him, narrowly dodging frightened humans and pokemon to get closer to the center point. And despite the mass amount of bodies, he spotted someone he really didn’t want to see. The admin. “Great,” he mumbled to himself, rolling his eyes, “Now there was no way of getting out of this one.” He let out a heavy sigh, plucking a sphere from his pocket and releasing a pokemon.[break][break]

The ghost and normal type materialized within seconds, almost getting trampled on as he leaped onto Vallon’s arm that was extended out for him. Bi colored eyes widen at the scene, speechless himself. “We need to see what’s causing this,” he mumbled in a low emotionless tone, a slight hint of annoyance laced within, “Think you can work your way up closer.” Gaze sweated the crowd, tail twitched. “I can try.” “Just don’t get yourself in trouble, alright?” “Says the person who brought us here.”[break][break]

With that, the fox creature leaped off his arm and onto another persons head. Much like leap frog, the hisui zorua pounced off one head to the next. And when a head wasn’t available anymore, Shrykos would land on anything else that would aid him to get a closer look. Meanwhile, the half human fleshed half scaly skinned man pushed his way through the crowd straight towards the mess of noise being caused.[break][break]

[Xander Brandt]

A grimace builds on his face as his patrol continues. There's been whispers through headquarters that he's no paid much attention to, but as soon as Emeline had sent him off to patrol that morning with no conversations on why exactly, he wished he'd asked more than just agreeing to do so. Volt chitters on his shoulder for a second, almost trying to soothe the annoyance underneath his heavy steps. Sticking near Redshore town, he'd figured there'd be no harm in treating himself for his adventure away from headquarters. A bitter sort of sigh escaping his lips as he steps into town, wondering whether he'll be able to talk himself out of doing a report in order for a nice nap.

Stuck in that thought for a moment, he feels the silence of town almost shudder for a moment. The calm before a storm. The breath before an exhale. The quick shock of Volt's static hitting his neck; instinct driven. Destruction rings from further in as screams begin to rush ahead. Gritting his teeth, Xander can feel Volt's static running up to the back of his hairs as a cold feeling rushes down his chest. Almost on instinct, he moves. Eyes glancing from citizen to citizen as he swears somewhere there's a sound of multiple emergency sirens and evacuations begin to happen. "Damnit. Just our luck." Volt chitters along his neck, the bug's buzzing calming some of the tension in his skin.

<"Careful. Don't act rash."> A selfish moment where Xander considers Volt, almost scared to be in a situation he never wanted to come true. How will you act when in real danger, Xander? The brief flash of his own father's words burning at his skin. How would he react? Would he run? Would he freeze? These questions always seemed to scare him as a kid, but now, he's seen that he's not who he was raised to be. He couldn't be scared. Not anymore. "Stay close, don't hop off of my collar. We're on scene. Someone needs to act." Even though the words leave his lips, there's no passion to them. A heavy sigh leaves his lips as he makes an impossible choice of pushing forward.

As he pushes through people, trying to tell them with quick hand gestures of where to go, he moves inward towards the destruction. Quickly trying to send out a call to the Ranger Union, he keeps moving forward. What could be causing this much destruction? The screams were getting louder as he goes. Xander can feel his brave resolve already starting to wane, but he didn't know who could be around. Would anyone be there to help the people? He's a ranger now. This was his job. Man, what he would give to be back at his desk doing a report. For now, he needed to identify what was causing the destruction. Afterwards, he could worry about how to get as many people out of there as possible and handling whatever was causing this scene. A deep breath, he turns a corner and keeps his eyes focused on the scene.

[Lucas Night]

Foul play wasn’t tolerated in Redshore Town. So, Lucas was intrigued to know just what was causing all of this ruckus. And, until it was resolved, the Night heir was going to stay cautiously nosy. Out came Ichen. The chespin perked up, seeing the destruction not so far away.

“We are observing.”

That command was all it took to knock the wind from Ichen’s sails.

There would be people in need for support after having their lives turned upside down and he had ever intention of being the first to prey upon that vulnerability. There were benefits to having more people indebted to him. And, by extension, Team Rocket. Business was business. But, first, he had to figure out what was happening… And, if, the source of this destruction, too, could be used to his advantage.

So, with some effort, Lucas fought against the tide fleeing folks and sought the source of this directly. Ichen followed along. He was surprised at how personally Lucas wanted to deal with this. He’d heard from Ember that the man didn’t mind getting this hands dirty, but the chespin was shocked he wasn’t being sent in to investigate on his own.

As the monster rampaged through the streets...

Remy 'Thorn' Dupris and Vallon Pierce were the first to catch any clue as to the beast's identity, Fenrir's nose catching the crisp scent of permafrost and Shrykos sharp eyes catching a blast of cryogenic air directed at the group in his way.

(Not that it being an ice type of some sort would've been difficult to deduce, however, considering the heavy chunks of ice clinging to the bodies and rubble.)

Xander Brandt was the next to catch anything, though he was perhaps catching a closer look than most- in fact, he was directly witness to Niko Vesper and Regent narrowly missing being struck by the rampaging Pokemon's swinging tail.

The Pokemon wasn't nearly as massive as the destruction might've first implied, but standing at a solid 2.5 meters its size was nothing to scoff at- thankfully for Niko, however, it seemed not to pay him much mind, attention focused purely on chasing down the crowds of fleeing civilians...this specific crowd in its sights being the one that Lucas Night was a part of, giving him a full frontal view of the beast.

Lawrence Moone, being hidden, didn't get much of a read on the goings-on- he did, however, catch a glimpse of the sharply-dressed woman following in the Pokemon's wake, her purple-tipped hair swaying behind her.

The Pokemon has been identified- kind of. Its appearance and part of its typing are relatively clear to those who've seen it, but there's still more information to be gleaned. Further rolls will be needed to do so.

[Xander Brandt]

Xander Brandt had always been the one to avoid doing any sort of work there was, but now he's found himself caught up in the chaos. People are running and screaming down the streets as he pushes past them and into a closer spot; his eyes seemingly scanning the area as he goes. Volt chitters quietly above him on top of the hat that's identified him before to many others. It's a loud sound of chaos as he regrets all of his choices for the day to end up in this situation. As he's about to take a glance once more, that's when he notices the ice chunks on the surrounding rubble. He's closer than he expected now, there's a sign of damage and it's almost as he's looking around a corner that he notices the pokemon.

Not as massive as he expected it to be, but large enough to be a major issue for Volt who's tiny in comparison. There's a bitter feeling settling in his gut as he looks towards the creature trying to figure out a way to either let civilians know where it is or to stop it from rampaging. He's a ranger, this was apart of the job. Rampaging pokemon were a problem that was set for most rangers. A grimace on his face as he's about to take the corner and make the worst choice, but he stops when he notices the tail swinging. A dangerous swing where the air seems to fly with it, but Xander's less surprised by the pokemon, but instead the other person who seems to have just missed being struck by the tail. Xander whisper shouts a warning, almost trying to get the other's attention. "Hey! Watch out!" Except he knows he's too far from the other.

Pushing off of his hiding spot, Xander holds onto the hat on his head and pushes forward. The first thing that pops into his head is that this person is probably an officer as he doesn't recognize him from the files he's had to go through with the rangers. There's a quickness to his step as he gets as close as possible, trying to stay on task. Reaching the other was going to take some risk, but he also wanted to get a better look and try to discern if there was anything strange going on with the pokemon. It was unusual for a pokemon to rampage in the streets of a town, not to mention the fact he's never seen a pokemon like this one. As soon as he gets close enough to the other, he tries to get behind some rubble to use as cover before speaking to the other. "Get down. We shouldn't let it see us yet."

His irritation level was climbing rapidly with each panicked human and/or pokemon he had to shove out of his way to get closer to the pandemonium that laid before him. In fact, with each push out of the way Vallon would grunt “Move” in an authoritative aggressive demand that got louder each time he did it. Soon, his patience was running thin. But before he could close control, intense hyper blue orbs stopped some of the bodies already on the ground. Their flesh, frozen solid like an ice cub. Of course, the gijinka didn’t have time to examine the frozen meat bag. He pushed past it, spotting the frozen chunks of ice that clung to debris the closer he got. Great.[break][break]

But upon closer investigation, gaze widened at the sight of a massive two tone blue beast. A beast, he has never seen before. Vallon’s gaze shifted to the hisuian zorua, the creature’s nose lifted as a cool breeze washed over the area when the ice beast let loose another round of icy blast. Instinctively, Vallon’s scaly arm rose to shield his face from the icy blast only to peer over the top to glare at the monster. “What is that thing?”[break][break]

“It’s a pokemon of some sort,” Shrykos replied indifferently, leaping off of pile of frozen debris to get closer to his human, “That’s what’s causing the panic. It’s attack anything and everything, whether it moves or not.” “Is it a wild pokemon?” The ghost and normal type paused, bi colored eyes swept the area again before his head shook. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen anything or anyone. Just this creature.”[break][break]

Silence fell between them for a moment, only watching in astonishment before Vallon finally grunted. “Let’s see if we can get closer.” The fox turn his gaze to Vallon, a single brow rose. “Are we going to battle that thing?” Vallon met the fox’s eyes, shoulders rose and fell in a shrug. Skrykos nose crinkled, he didn’t like battling. All eyes on the beast, the hybrid mumbled. “Come on. Maybe Thorn will take care of it for us.” The hisui zorua nodded, the pair moving in even close to try and see what was really going on.[break][break]

[Niko Vesper]

Though it was slow-going at first, Niko was able to pick up the pace enough to get a decent look at what kind of destruction the people of Redshore were forced to contend with. Where the unknown creature had been rampaging, the air felt oddly cold and, even more conspicuous than that, thick layers of ice were coating much of the streets, nearby buildings, and even people. This was something he wasn't privy to before, and he felt what he was seeing was worth reporting.

"This is officer Vesper. I'm approaching the scene now, and it looks as though the creature responsible has left large amounts of ice and frost in its wake. Most likely some sort of Ice-type-"

He let out a surprised yelp mid-sentence as he and Regent turned another corner and were both forced to stagger backwards as something large swung through the air, perilously close to both of them. Getting his bearings, Niko opted to peek from behind cover rather than risk another close call. The creature didn't seem to have noticed them, thankfully, but that just meant that it had its attention on other hapless residents of the city. He'd need to assess the situation quickly if he wanted to intervene.

His view of the thing wasn't the best, but from what he could see, it definitely looked like an Ice-type, and had what Niko could best describe as reptilian features. Was it also part Dragon? Niko couldn't exactly recall many Pokemon that were both Ice and Dragon-type. Hesitant to make too many hasty assumptions, he decided that if he were to try to suss out anything, it would be best to focus on what sort of attacks it had at its disposal. If it had anything that Regent would be weak to, then that'd definitely make things harder for the both of them.

Niko's going to try to roll to see what sort of moves the mystery Pokemon knows... lEaStFCu

Fenrir caught the typing of the beast and began to call attention as he reported in.

”Ice type, Sah.  Causing a ton of chaos.”

Thorn was happy to have his loyal Fairy type with him.  This investigating and hunting down a particular foe seemed to come naturally to him.  He glanced around at the carnage, taking in the sudden and swift destruction that had been wrought on Redshore.  Twice he had seen such devastating power and twice it belonged to the Diamond Crystals.  He would be naive to imagine this was anything but another mutated freak off its leash. 

What Thorn didn’t notice was the presence of Vallon, or anyone else for that matter.  His rage had been incensed and he always so desperate for the blood of the one responsible for his suit being soiled that all other minions were secondary to him at this point.  The Antisocial socialite growled more orders.

”How many? Where are they heading?”

He would find the culprit and make sure they were brought to his own twisted sense of justice.  He’d have to hurry and sneak them away under the cover of chaos. This type of event always seemed to attract the do-gooders and that was something Thorn desperately sought to avoid.  After all: he wanted this one dead at his own hands, perhaps after a meeting with a certain legendary Dragon-type in the desert.

Ok, so good and bad news. The good news was he had no been crushed in to a tomato color pulp for his place in hiding and it seemed, from the shining blue and white crystals now growing out of walls and dripping with water, that Kossix was going to have a foot up here. That being said, as lars leaned around from his hiding place and tried to make out something, anything of use, all he got was some woman striding along behind the huge pokemon as if she owned the place.

Well, to be fair, if he had whatever the heck that was and seemed to be getting away with murder and chaos, he'd probably have that kind of stride too. Shaking his head, the blonde slowly slipped out from where he had been tucked away now there were no longer people fleeing over and around him, or pokemon rushing past, and he found himself far too close to the other trainer and pokemon. Well, he had a pattern.

"M'lady, it would seem yourself and your partner either have a death wish or intend to be arrested. I credit your boldness, and effectiveness too, but this is a little public, is it not?" he called over, his words careful enough not to spell out that he was asking if they worked together but complex enough he hoped in to goading her in to replying. Or at the very least, giving him some idea what the heck was going on as he stood there, pokedex in hand and with little idea on what to try next for once.

[Lucas Night]

It was massive. It had to either be fully evolved or a prime evolution-less specimen. Lucas couldn’t resist the grin that set across his lips at the sight of it. Where were these beasts coming from? And, could he get ahold of them? The ice everywhere told Lucas that going in initially with his chespin wasn’t a good idea. Rather, without falling behind or rushing further ahead into the crowd, Lucas kept pace.

What he wanted to do was throw a pokeball. Best case scenario, he’d get lucky and catch that thing. Second best case scenario, he’d get the attention of a trainer if that thing was already caught. Most people at least reacted to that sort of thing. Though, the worst case scenario was all of that pokemon’s attention was on Lucas.

Hmph. Best wait for that until he knew circumstances were in his favor. He brought up his pokedex for the moment… And, kept in mind to watch for any stragglers. A grateful stranger might be useful someday.

Ichen, meanwhile, looked longingly back at the unknown pokemon. So what if it was a big ice type? How many Power-Up Punches would it actually take to finish it off? Surely not that many.

Pokedex attempt.

[Espurr]

Unfortunately for Xander Brandt, his closer look wouldn't net him any information- except that the massive Pokemon was sending another blast of freezing-cold air towards him, his coworker, and their Pokemon.

...Niko Vesper, however, as the attack came hurtling towards him and Xander both, was successfully able to identify it for what it was- a harsh, billowing icy wind, cold enough to sink into the stonework of the buildings around and leave them cracking under the strain.

That in mind, he'd be able to get a good idea of what other kinds of damage it could cause...

It would, of course, deal even worse damage to them and their Pokemon, if they didn't move now.

Vallon Pierce & Shrykos, similar to the ranger in the fray, wouldn't be getting much information. They could clearly see the beast had changed the direction of its rampage, though, seemingly on a dime, and found themselves in the ideal position to be able to track that path...almost.

Remy 'Thorn' Dupris and Fenrir might've been able to identify that path, if Thorn was so willing, but the socialite was too blinded by fury for that thought to properly come up. Instead, with Fenrir's keen sense of scent, they were both able to reach the plaza where Lawrence Moone was speaking with a faintly familiar face, her hand raised into the air holding what appeared to be a clicker of some sort.

Lars would've been able to see the woman raise the clicker into the air, and though he wouldn't be able to hear the sound made by it, Kossix would have a clear reaction from this close up.

The woman turned her head towards the blonde as he spoke, gaze icy as the rampage on the city.

"We're done with subtlety," she called back, without so much as a smile to offer his 'polite' inquiry. "And we have our goals. That's all you get to know. If you're lucky, you'll live to tell the tale."

Getting out of his hiding place, however, had given Lars' pokedex the opportunity to scan the Pokemon. It took a surprising amount of time for the information to load, however, indicating that it was equally as unknown to the dex as it was to him.

...Meaning, seeing as Lars was distracted by the host of the attack, it was actually Lucas Night who managed to finish off the scan, downloading the entries, typing, and abilities of the beast's species (and even successfully managing to identify this one's ability).

The moves, however...

It seemed those would still have to be gleaned from observation.

THE RAMPAGING BAXCALIBUR USED ICY WIND, TARGETING Xander Brandt, Niko Vesper, AND THEIR POKEMON!
[55BP + 75 (STAB) - 70 (NVE, REGENT ONLY) = 130 HP (OR 60 HP TO REGENT)]

The Pokemon has been identified- kind of. Its appearance, species, typing (Dragon/Ice), ability, and part of its moveset are all plainly known, but there's still more information to be gleaned. Further rolls will be needed to do so.
