134: For a moment you were concerned that Kai might run for the Damp Rock, leaving Uhane on their own, but thankfully the Vaporeon doubled back. The last thing you needed was this to turn into a beatdown on the shimmering owl. After all of the abuse and everything else you'd been put through today, you just wanted to get this over with. Kai seemed to have the same line of thought, and the Pokemon's attacks were efficiently brutal.
A helping hand to their teammate, boosting the pain dealt by the sharp rush of leaves that the Rowlet dealt, and the hydro cannon both combined to deal a heavy blow to the Mareanie. The poison type wasn't quite unconscious but it was certainly on its last legs so to speak. Being water type, hydro cannon was at a disadvantage even with the pouring rain, and razor leaf was neutral in its effect. Still, they were powerful, and Kai had chosen a good time to use the move. The rain was beginning to peter out, the clouds very slowly starting to make way for the glorious Minnaoan sun. Kai had to recharge, an obvious heel which the enemy took advantage of. The Mareanie launched toxic spikes all over the battlefield, a hazard to both you, your party and any rescue or other adventurers that might step on them. They could easily be missed on the dark, wet ground. It began to use recover, too, the creature glowing as she tried to heal from the devastating damage your duo inflicted on her. As for the Crawdaunt, who had gotten off easy this round, it tried to rush Uhane with a night slash attack. Meanwhile, the poison in Uhane's veins chipped away... What do you do?

134: With Kai forced to recharge after the heavy blow that she had dealt, it was up to Uhane to carry this turn. The Pokemon did this with style, evolutionary light illuminating your little area of the forest as the Rowlet grew into a Dartrix. The huntress looked aggravated beneath her hood, and was even moreso when the Crawdaunt's strike was dodged with flight.
Ominous wind was produced from the bird's feathers as Uhane took to the air, much more agile and powerful than before. With some height gained, the annoyed crab was dove upon and practically ploughed down into the ground. Dartrix landed elegantly, then rose its feathers, beginning to form deadly blades of flurrying grass. “Protect, Crawdaunt! Then swift on the bird! Mareanie, venoshock on that Vaporeon!” The razor leaf could have been the finishing blow for the Crawdaunt, had it only landed, but that wasn't to be, and now Mareanie had recovered some health during Kai's downtime, the grass move barely hurting it at all. The Vaporeon was ready to resume the battle on your order, the watery opponent preparing a nasty liquid that it hurled through the air towards her. Uhane had of course taken the 'swift' attack, another battering on top of the toxic it was enduring. You wanted this nonsense to be over? Well, time was of the essence, and who knew whether or not that evolution would've given your position away...

134: Fighting wasn't your strong suit, and although you were trying, your Pokemon were basically carrying you like the scrublord casual that you were. No wonder Kai found you so damn exhausting! Thankfully 'Uhane did as expected, taking flight into the air and waiting for its moment to strike. It was waiting for its teammate, who was executing its own orders.
The water-type's tail seemed to shine in a way that was almost metallic, the bone within it hardening so that when it rushed forward, it slammed the poison-type with some severe power. However, that wasn't the end of it. With every brace and bound, Kai's paws and claws had been alight with white, leaving pretty pools in their wake-- ones that made the ground shake. Her Hidden Power had coursed through the earth, quaking beneath Mareanie – and likely radiating to Crawdaunt, too, given that you could feel faint tremors – and striking effectively. It made up for where Iron Tail was weak against the bigger threat. Satisfied that it was safe, 'Uhane came down for the killing blow, breaking through a second set of swift that Crawdaunt had shot through its pincers. The Dartrix had brutally knocked out its target, gaining four levels in the process and one for Kai, but that seemed to be all that the bird had left. The toxins flowing through had the Dartrix flopping off its claws in a slump, breathing ragged and altogether weary. Unless you healed 'Uhane, it was time for a withdrawal or a switch. “Return, Crawdaunt.” The cultist snarled, recalling their charge in a beam of red. You wanted this to end and so did they, and they weren't making it easy. “Mareanie, use toxic on that Vaporeon and venoshock. Let's put them down.” What do you do?

134: The Mareanie's attacks struck true, but they were utterly useless against Kai, who was well prepared. Coating herself in an aquatic ring, she refreshed herself to shed the toxins from her body, acidic droplets hitting the forest floor with a sizzle. The cultist shrieked in tantrum, watching as the Mareanie took another brutal slam from Kai's skull bash. Things were so close to being over, the poison-type breathing laboured.
“I'm done with this! I'm done!” The pink-haired heathen screeched, her patience hitting her limit as yours had. Things went from bad to worse, however, as you saw more cloaked figures emerge from the brush, beginning to advance in a semi-circle. Kai's back arched, fins bristled in anger and caution. Chatot began to caw with fear. “Don't worry, sister. We're here now.” One of the others spoke, masculine voice deep and soft and huskily dangerous. “You did well, stalling our thieves here. But their foolishness has come to an end. Step back, we can all finish this together, for our Lord Kyogre's sake...” Your stomach knotted. You were surrounded by weapon-wielding, Pokemon-training psychopaths who were inevitably going to kill you – and probably the bird – for what you had done. You had ran so fast, fought so hard and apparently for nothing. You stared death in the face, unsure of what to do, until a sudden movement made your heart lurch. Chatot cut through the air, knocking down the Mareanie in the process, and after landing upon its unconscious body it attacked in a way you hadn't thought possible of the little alarm Pokemon. A shattering boom of sound burst from its beak, strong enough to make the foliage around rustle as if swept by a powerful wind. The cultists screamed and growled, covering their ears. Some of them fell to the ground or doubled over. You clamped your hands over your own ears, although the wave hadn't been directed your way. Through the ringing, you could hear Chatot telling you to run from danger. Kai shot you with a weak sport of water and barked, then turned tail to flee, teeth tugging at the belt you had to guide you before the cultists could recover. Chatot was in tow. Best get moving, if you've learned anything from your mistakes... But where will you go?

134: Everything hurts, damnit, and you can't help but think back to your schooling days and the girl with her lack of punctuality and brilliant cardio. You'd think qith how much your life turns out like this, you'd take a hint and whip yourself into better shape, but if your life is to be inevitably cut short at the hands of the Gods, you might as well actually enjoy it while you have it and not waste it on constructive personal development and stuff. Ew.
You make it to the shoreline, and Kai practically dives into the water, and you follow suit. She's a lot stronger than her size suggests, so it's easy for her to help you along, but you have to keep the orb safe and make sure that the Chatot – which is still following you – doesn't tire out and drown. If things get worse, 'Uhane is a lot bigger now and could likely aid you in some way with her flight. Of course, you know those cultists favour the water, so speed is of the essence here... But the mainland looks so far... You're eventually out of the Mints, and thankfully, the waters are not feeling vengeful today. Kai, however, is getting more and more tired by the second. You're technically in the area known as the Cordina Ocean now, close to the mainland but also with the Alloy Atoll in reach. There are blots on the horizon of differing speeds and sizes – most likely vessels like fishing and touristy boats, but knowing that you have the treasured Blue Orb, you do have to keep in mind that you don't want to draw any kind of attention. Nor do you wish to drown. What do you do?

It had been far from the ideal nature tour of the region’s diverse and beautiful environment, and to compensate Gary for his troubles, Masao offered him a generous reward. Not one to turn down a kind gesture, Gary thanked Masao for everything and assured him the experience didn’t dampen his opinion towards the archipelago. Once the poachers had been properly taken care of, Gary thanked Raphael for his vigilant eye and returned him to his Net Ball. As the sun had begun its downward descent over the horizon, it was time to get going. After thanking Masao for everything once again, Gary pocketed the items and made his way towards the shore where he recalled Trunks as well. As he stared out at the waves that glistened with an orange hue from the fading sunlight, Gary was breath taken by the sheer beauty of it all. His short time here in Minnao would be one he’d never forget, and the islands would certainly be a place he’d hope to come back and visit again in the future. He had unfinished business here, after all. Sending his trusted Aero out into the shallow water once again, Gary climbed aboard the Mantine’s back. As the large ray skated across the waves away from the islands, Gary took one last look back. Thank you so much for the great adventure, Alice! Claiming the following items: 1x Oval Stone 1x Shiny Stone 1x Heart Scale $200

The sunny season has long been over, the rush of tourists beginning to slow, and the Isles of Minnao is gradually returning to what its inhabitants consider normalcy. The crazy cultists – the ones not devoured by schooling Wishiwashi and wandering Feraligatr, moody from defeat and interrupted naps – burrow into the sands for the winter months, to energize for their next attempts at stabbing foolish tourists who try to summon Kyogre; unruly gang children return to their forced academia and pesky Pokemon are left with only the locals to terrorise.
Whatever stupidity befell last summer's visitors – and last winter's, and spring, and this past summer, and part of Autumn and shut the frickle frackle up-- this gem of a place will surely be ingrained in their memories for better or worse. Definitely better, obviously. Of course, the chapters that unfolded here are only the beginning to Minnao's story, a taste of the mysteries and what is really happening here. Maybe it would be in one's best interests to visit again...? Unless you got bloody shot-- Because even if you can die, Minnao can't. Minnao is FoReVeR.
