With news of the massive Beartic attack that halted Primrose’s escape to town spreading across the Rose Garden, many of the trainers joined Jet as they set off to rush to her rescue. Meanwhile, a few trainers remained in the garden in order to wrap up unfinished business with the four garden queens to take out the remaining Swinub and Vulpix.

~~~~~~~

As the Cubchoo surrounded the carriage that contained Primrose and Poppy, the Beartic growled menacingly and watched from afar. As a couple of trainers stepped out of the carriage to hold off the bears and protect Primrose, the other carriage with reinforcements from the Rose Garden quickly arrived with Jet as well. Jet called upon the services of his Skarmory once again, as it soared overhead. The trainers followed suit, sending out their Pokemon to make a stand as well.

Looking to defend the carriages, Attila the Larvitar showered the area in Stealth Rocks to act as a natural deterrent to the polar bear cubs. She then waited for Alex to scan the mob with his Pokedex, and after he found a male Cubchoo and pointed it out to her, Attila blasted it with a Dark Pulse. As she charged forward, the Cubchoo blasted her with an Icy Wind, chilling her quite a bit and slowing her down in the process. Attila connected with her target regardless, knocking it back with an effective Iron Head.

Meanwhile, Jess was joined by her shiny Houndour Sheik, who Howled loudly to announce her arrival. She then Leered at the Cubchoo, trying to intimidate them while Princess the Stufful flashed her Baby-Doll Eyes at the Cubchoo before following it up with a Leer of her own. Some of the Cubchoo Growled in response while a couple others urged the Houndour and Stufful to Play Nice in an attempt to lower their guard. As the Cubchoo continued their advance, Sheik held them off with a flurry of Embers to keep them at bay. Singling one of the Cubchoo out, Princess went up to it and smacked it with a Brutal Swing for solid damage as it began Biding its time.

Not to be left out of the action, Beartic let out a bellowing Roar and began making its way towards the carriage. The plucky Silver stood bravely in its way, jumping up to slap it back with a Tail Whip. Jet’s Skarmory lent its assistance with a Steel Wing to keep it off balance, and Silver was able to follow it up with a hard-hitting Tackle to the chest. Beartic roared angrily and grabbed the Squirtle by the shell and Slashed at Silver before throwing him down hard in the snow. Beartic then began to glow an icy blue as it summoned a pillar of snow and ice that hit Jet’s Skarmory like an Avalanche, knocking it out of the sky. Silver and Skarmory both lay on the ground, defeated.

As the battlefield descended into chaos, Palmier the Litwick sat there confidently, ready to add to the disorder. He blew a hazy Smog across the area in the direction of a crowd of Cubchoo. Unfortunately, an Icy Wind blew from one of the cubs, dispelling the fog rather quickly. One of the Cubchoo began coughing however, as toxins had filled its lungs. Turning his attention to the Beartic, Palmier struck it with a mild Night Shade as it finished taking down Silver and Skarmory. If Palmier wanted Beartic’s attention, he sure had it now, as Beartic growled and darted forward and rammed the Litwick hard with a powerful Aqua Jet.

~~~~~~~

With the trainers providing enough cover, the carriage containing Primrose and Poppy was able to position itself free of the pillar of ice. “We must get the young Miss back to town quickly!” Poppy called out. “Once she is safe, we’ll send reinforcements!” As the Mudsdale took off for town, reinforcements were most certainly going to be needed. The Beartic roared again and began following the carriage as it resumed its advancement towards the town. “We can’t let that Beartic reach town!” Jet exclaimed as he returned Skarmory back to its Pokeball. “Stop it, Staraptor!” Jet quickly tossed another Pokeball, revealing a Staraptor who cawed and swooped into the air.

As the carriage containing Poppy and Primrose finally arrived in town, Poppy quickly got out and helped Primrose get to her feet. As he looked around, the main street in town was eerily quiet. “Is anyone there? We need a doctor!” Poppy exclaimed but to no answer. Carrying Primrose on his tired old back, Poppy made his way down the street towards the town square. There he found a number of villagers lying everywhere, fast asleep. “That’s not good…” As Poppy continued to look around, he heard some rustling from one of the storefronts. The glass window had been broken in, and as he watched, a Smoochum crawled out of it, wearing some stolen jewelry. A few other Smoochum appeared from a bakery, having filled their bellies with food. “Smoo?” one of them cooed as even more Smoochum appeared from an alley. “The town has been overrun too!” Poppy exclaimed into the walkie-talkie as the Smoochum began to Sing. “Send… help…” Poppy yawned as he collapsed with Primrose on his back, both of them falling fast asleep.

Things were looking bad for Galea Town as the Beartic marched towards it, and no one awake to defend it. As the carriage brought the remaining trainers from the Rose Garden to join up with the others battling the Cubchoo and Beartic, Jet informed them of the new development and presented yet another decision they had to make. The trainers could either stay here and continue battling the bears, especially the Beartic who meant serious business, or take the remaining carriage to town and hope to wake up the villagers and get help.


Once again, you are presented with a choice. You may either stay and battle the Cubchoo and Beartic or rush to town to chase out the Smoochum and wake up the villagers. Transportation will still be available even if you choose to stay behind. Reminder, don’t wait too long to attempt to capture a Pokemon you are interested in!


In response to Sheik's attempts at intimidation, several Cubchoo bared their fangs and snarled back, while a couple others tried a different tactic by pleading with the pup to 'play nicely'. The old dog didn't fall for the new trick though, instead sending a flurry of flames their way to keep the cubs at bay.

Meanwhile, the leader of the bear brigade unleashed another bellow as it battled against another trainer's Squirtle and Jet's Skarmory, dribbling the former's shell into the ground like a basketball while batting the birdie out of the blue by a racquet of ice, knocking both out simultaneously. Jess watched in horror as the metallic flier fell to the earth with a crash, alarmed by the enemy's strength and reemphasizing they needed to get Primrose to safety, stat.

Fortunately, their brave efforts had bought enough time for the carriage to realign itself on a route circumventing the other icicle pillar, setting course straight for the village. Jess glanced back at the field, where Jet had released his Staraptor to take its fallen brethren's place. She bit her lip, agreeing with the assessment that the Beartic should be prevented from progressing at all costs, but also fearing for the girl's wellbeing without someone to watch over her. Thus she chose to continue to stand guard with the wagon, calling out to her Houndour:

"Sheik, I'll be going on ahead to get help. Can you handle things here for now?"

An affirmative bark, and Jess nodded in thanks as the coach sped off again towards the town to find shelter and reinforcements. When they arrived though, the streets seemed strangely quiet, and an eerie emptiness pervaded everywhere they went. When the road grew too narrow for the caravan to traverse, Poppy dismounted and determinedly carried on by foot, carrying Miss Primrose on his aged back as they searched desperately for a medical doctor. Jess kept close, increasingly wary of their silent surroundings, until they reached the central square where they stumbled upon the sight of the townsfolk residents all lying down in the snow. At first she panicked upon thinking they had perished (flashing back once again to the frozen corpses in her memory), but upon checking their pulse and respiration it seemed they were all simply in a deep sleep, blanketed by white like some scene from a fairytale.

Just then, they heard a rustle coming from one of the storefronts, as a Smoochum suddenly crawled out of a broken window, sporting what appeared to be a festoon of stolen jewelry. Another pair of baby pink dolls with bloated bellies emerged from the bakery, as even more streamed in from the backstreets, smiling wickedly as they opened their mouths and began to harmonize a haunting melody, so soft and soothing Jess could barely keep her eyes open. She dimly heard Poppy shout into his walkie-talkie for assistance before slipping into slumber himself, passing out along with Miss Primrose on his back.

Jess blinked as she gazed at the sleeping beauty beside her, barely registering that she had to do something fast before she fell victim to the same fate. Struggling to stay alert, she reached for the Were Ball containing her lifeline, the last "link" to consciousness...

As the Poochyena appeared, he immediately detected the danger his trainer was in and raised his own head, HOWLing loudly to drown out the lullaby. Jess beamed weakly at him in appreciation, still woozy but wakened somewhat by the sound.

"Thanks. Let's try to clear out these guys quickly so we can help the others. Hit 'em with a DARK PULSE, followed by a SHADOW BALL."

With news of the massive Beartic attack that halted Primrose’s escape to town spreading across the Rose Garden, many of the trainers joined Jet as they set off to rush to her rescue. Meanwhile, a few trainers remained in the garden in order to wrap up unfinished business with the four garden queens to take out the remaining Swinub and Vulpix.

~~~~~~~

As Roserade blasted a group of Swinub with an Energy Ball and Tsareena Trop Kicked a Vulpix, several of the trainers’ Pokemon remained focused on their targets, as their trainers had announced their intentions of adding icy foxes to their teams. Soleil the Eevee remained honed in on her opponent and lunged at it to pin it down with a powerful Take Down. As the Vulpix yelped in pain, Soleil winced as her shoulder became a bit bruised in the process. Not wanting to give the Vulpix a chance to retaliate, the Eevee kept it off balance with a well-timed Quick Attack. Finally able to get an attack in, Vulpix blew another frosty Powder Snow Soleil’s way, and the Eevee’s Baby-Doll Eyes did little to stop the snow. Nonetheless, Mélina and Soleil had worn the fox down quite a bit, and the trainer threw an Ice Ball at it. The ball pulled the Vulpix inside and after shaking once… twice… three times, it stopped with an audible “Ding!” signifying its success. Congratulations, Mélina has captured a lv.10 female Alolan Vulpix!

Meanwhile, Hope the Shuppet had her proverbial hands full with her own cluster of opponents. Having singled out one of the Vulpix, the ghost Pokemon slipped into the Shadows and Snuck up behind it, jumping out to strike it from behind. As the Vulpix whipped around, Hope opened her mouth and spewed forth a nasty glob of ectoplasm, the Gunk Shot drenching it entirely in a foul-smelling odor. The Vulpix cried out in disgust, blowing a flurry of Powder Snow at Hope, who shivered and looked to finish her opponent off with a Night Shade. The Vulpix collapsed in the snow, defeated. Not wanting to waste a minute, Liawe hurled a Pokeball at the creature, pulling it inside. The ball shook three times before stopping with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Liawe has captured a lv.12 female Alolan Vulpix!

Next up, Khione the Sneasel looked to tag in for her confused teammate Belial. As she squared off against Belial’s previous opponent, the Sneasel charged forward to attack. However, she stopped abruptly and clapped her hands together, Faking the Vulpix Out in the process. With the icy fox now stunned, Khione Kicked the Vulpix Low, taking out its feet in the process. As Vulpix lay on the ground, it flashed Khione with its Baby-Doll Eyes, hoping to soften the Sneasel from launching any more attacks. Luckily for it, Khione was done and Eskil quickly threw a Pokeball at it. The ball pulled Vulpix inside and landed in the snow, shaking once, twice, and three times before coming to a halt with a “Ding!” Congratulations, Eskil has captured a lv.12 female Alolan Vulpix!

As Patches looked to give Rika a relief, the Espeon was recalled to her ball and was replaced mistakenly by Aya the shiny Furret. Deciding to go with the flow as she always does, Patches ordered for Aya to continue Rika’s battle. Aya complied and began Coiling up her long body, tightening her muscles as well as her focus as she waited for Vulpix to strike. Vulpix obliged by firing off a rapid Ice Shard that ricocheted off of the Furret’s furry body. Aya pounced and clocked the Vulpix with a Fiery Punch, knocking it back. Patches quickly chucked a Pokeball at it, pulling the Vulpix inside. The ball landed on the ground and shook once… twice… and three times before stopping with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Patches has captured a lv.15 male Alolan Vulpix!

With most of the Vulpix taken care of, Hotstuff set his sights on the mob of remaining Pokemon, mostly Swinub. The young Charmander looked to unleash hell and heat up the frozen garden in the process, blowing a powerful Heat Wave across the area. Aya the Furret chipped in, knocking out a straggler with a Shadow Ball before Hotstuff released a second Heat Wave. As several of the Swinub succumbed to the heat, Hotstuff began to breathe heavier and heavier, having expended a large amount of energy to this point. As a pair of Swinub launched a last resort Mud Bomb his direction, Hotstuff finished them off with a third Heat Wave before succumbing to his own exhaustion, passing out in the dirt as the snow melted all around him.

Thanks to Hotstuff’s efforts, much of the snow had melted off of the plants in the Rose Garden. The four flower queens were picking off the remaining swine and vulpine left and right and gave them a thankful cheer. As they motioned to indicate that they could handle things from here, the second sleigh had arrived to pick up the trainers and take them to another battlefield, where Beartic and its army of Cubchoo looked ready to strike.

~~~~~~~

As the Cubchoo surrounded the carriage that contained Primrose and Poppy, the Beartic growled menacingly and watched from afar. As a couple of trainers stepped out of the carriage to hold off the bears and protect Primrose, the other carriage with reinforcements from the Rose Garden quickly arrived with Jet as well. Jet called upon the services of his Skarmory once again, as it soared overhead. The trainers followed suit, sending out their Pokemon to make a stand as well.

Looking to defend the carriages, Attila the Larvitar showered the area in Stealth Rocks to act as a natural deterrent to the polar bear cubs. She then waited for Alex to scan the mob with his Pokedex, and after he found a male Cubchoo and pointed it out to her, Attila blasted it with a Dark Pulse. As she charged forward, the Cubchoo blasted her with an Icy Wind, chilling her quite a bit and slowing her down in the process. Attila connected with her target regardless, knocking it back with an effective Iron Head.

Meanwhile, Jess was joined by her shiny Houndour Sheik, who Howled loudly to announce her arrival. She then Leered at the Cubchoo, trying to intimidate them while Princess the Stufful flashed her Baby-Doll Eyes at the Cubchoo before following it up with a Leer of her own. Some of the Cubchoo Growled in response while a couple others urged the Houndour and Stufful to Play Nice in an attempt to lower their guard. As the Cubchoo continued their advance, Sheik held them off with a flurry of Embers to keep them at bay. Singling one of the Cubchoo out, Princess went up to it and smacked it with a Brutal Swing for solid damage as it began Biding its time.

Not to be left out of the action, Beartic let out a bellowing Roar and began making its way towards the carriage. The plucky Silver stood bravely in its way, jumping up to slap it back with a Tail Whip. Jet’s Skarmory lent its assistance with a Steel Wing to keep it off balance, and Silver was able to follow it up with a hard-hitting Tackle to the chest. Beartic roared angrily and grabbed the Squirtle by the shell and Slashed at Silver before throwing him down hard in the snow. Beartic then began to glow an icy blue as it summoned a pillar of snow and ice that hit Jet’s Skarmory like an Avalanche, knocking it out of the sky. Silver and Skarmory both lay on the ground, defeated.

As the battlefield descended into chaos, Palmier the Litwick sat there confidently, ready to add to the disorder. He blew a hazy Smog across the area in the direction of a crowd of Cubchoo. Unfortunately, an Icy Wind blew from one of the cubs, dispelling the fog rather quickly. One of the Cubchoo began coughing however, as toxins had filled its lungs. Turning his attention to the Beartic, Palmier struck it with a mild Night Shade as it finished taking down Silver and Skarmory. If Palmier wanted Beartic’s attention, he sure had it now, as Beartic growled and darted forward and rammed the Litwick hard with a powerful Aqua Jet.

~~~~~~~

With the trainers providing enough cover, the carriage containing Primrose and Poppy was able to position itself free of the pillar of ice. “We must get the young Miss back to town quickly!” Poppy called out. “Once she is safe, we’ll send reinforcements!” As the Mudsdale took off for town, reinforcements were most certainly going to be needed. The Beartic roared again and began following the carriage as it resumed its advancement towards the town. “We can’t let that Beartic reach town!” Jet exclaimed as he returned Skarmory back to its Pokeball. “Stop it, Staraptor!” Jet quickly tossed another Pokeball, revealing a Staraptor who cawed and swooped into the air.

As the carriage containing Poppy and Primrose finally arrived in town, Poppy quickly got out and helped Primrose get to her feet. As he looked around, the main street in town was eerily quiet. “Is anyone there? We need a doctor!” Poppy exclaimed but to no answer. Carrying Primrose on his tired old back, Poppy made his way down the street towards the town square. There he found a number of villagers lying everywhere, fast asleep. “That’s not good…” As Poppy continued to look around, he heard some rustling from one of the storefronts. The glass window had been broken in, and as he watched, a Smoochum crawled out of it, wearing some stolen jewelry. A few other Smoochum appeared from a bakery, having filled their bellies with food. “Smoo?” one of them cooed as even more Smoochum appeared from an alley. “The town has been overrun too!” Poppy exclaimed into the walkie-talkie as the Smoochum began to Sing. “Send… help…” Poppy yawned as he collapsed with Primrose on his back, both of them falling fast asleep.

Things were looking bad for Galea Town as the Beartic marched towards it, and no one awake to defend it. As the carriage brought the remaining trainers from the Rose Garden to join up with the others battling the Cubchoo and Beartic, Jet informed them of the new development and presented yet another decision they had to make. The trainers could either stay here and continue battling the bears, especially the Beartic who meant serious business, or take the remaining carriage to town and hope to wake up the villagers and get help.


Once again, you are presented with a choice. You may either stay and battle the Cubchoo and Beartic or rush to town to chase out the Smoochum and wake up the villagers. Transportation will still be available even if you choose to stay behind. Reminder, don’t wait too long to attempt to capture a Pokemon you are interested in!
Hotstuff rears his head back and unleashes wave after wave of heat into the remaining Swinub alongside the native Grass pokemon. He takes a mud bomb back for his troubles but presses on, leaving swaths of melted snow in his wake. Big catches on to the fire typed starter panting though, he must have been hiding how tired he was getting. I should have known better. Big thinks to himself. I've never asked him to use so many heat waves in succession before. As Hotstuff fires off one more heatwave he falls to a knee. "Hotstuff!" Big calls out. "Don't push-" The charmander holds up a claw and pants out: "One more, I can get one more out..." He pants out, and Big is startled, he understood exactly what Hotstuff had said. "Hot-!" He yells out again but the charmander lets out one last heatwave, knocking out the last of the swinub before collapsing completely. Big immediately runs over to the fallen pokemon and cradles his head. "Great job buddy." He says and the charmander's unconscious mouth forms into a grin before big recalls him into his pokeball for some well needed rest. Big turns and gives a respectful nod to the Queens wiping up the stragglers and heads off with the rest of the defenders. He decides against joining the fight against the beartic without a pokemon with a type advantage and heads to the town to join the fight against the Smoochums. As he arrives he hears someone playing a blue flute, a wise move in Big's opinion. He throws out another pokeball from his belt to join the battle again. "Come on out Geddy!" He calls and out comes his tynamo. "Hey man, what's up eh?" He asks although Big is back to not understanding his pokemon's words. "We are fighting a bunch of ice types and Hotstuff is tired out. So it's up to you, You want to start off with 3 charge beams? Best to boost up your special attack early on." Big commands and the tynamo nods before crackling up with electricity and taking aim at the nearest smoochum.

Mega Glalie, its mouth hanging wide open, let out a deafening roar. The menacing Ice type now was at ground level, levitating only slightly. There was an almost crazy look in its eyes, and it began gnashing its teeth furiously. Several trainers went after the new target almost immediately. The first being Keith, sending Kyle the Heatmor to deliver a Sucker Punch before Glalie could make its first move. The Heatmor’s fist collided with Glalie’s large jaw. While Glalie reeled, Kyle called up several Will-O-Wisps only to have them fizzle out almost immediately. The intense cold emanating from Mega Glalie had some effect on the Fire type move. Keith’s Heatmor flicked its fiery tongue and Fire Lashed his opponent. Glalie let out a low, menacing laugh as Kyle’s froze before it could retreat into his mouth. Guntz the Snorlax arrived at the Heatmor’s side for back up. It opened its mouth wide to Yawn, coaxing Mega Glalie to do the same. Though the Pokemon’s Mega form changed the function of its mouth, it looked a bit calmer and susceptible to sleepiness.
Isaac’s Incineroar Morgana Roared at the Sandshrew surrounding him before leaping into the battle with Glalie. With Fiery Fangs, he clamped down on Mega Glalie’s icy horn. When the Incineroar made contact with Glalie, the fire had all but disappeared, making the attack more of a regular Bite. Glalie forced the Incineroar off by Headbutting into the wall, sending Morgana to the ground and knocking him unconscious. An avalanche of snow fell onto Isaac’s Pokemon, trapping the Fire type. While his Pokemon fought, Isaac took the opportunity to toss a Great Ball at a curled-up Sandshrew that had been isolated due to Morgana’s Roar. The ball landed on the igloo-shaped Pokemon and it was sucked into the device. It wiggled back and forth a few times as the Sandshrew struggled, but the ball let out a satisfying click.
Congratulations! Isaac has caught a Lv. 13 Male Alolan Sandshrew!

Froslass, though severely weakened by the Clefable’s attack, continued to try and protect Glalie. She blew an Ominous Wind, striking Kyle but going right through the Normal-type Guntz. Guntz brought a slide of rocks onto Froslass, causing her to flinch. Rorik’s Snorlax took a deep breath in, and attempted to blow a Flamethrower over the Ice and Ghost type Pokemon. With the effects of Mega Glalie, it turned out looking more like a small Ember. While Guntz was shocked at the ineffectiveness of his move, Froslass struck him across the face with Wake-Up Slap.

In the remaining group of Sandshrew, Wildfire sent out a Heat Wave. Glalie’s frozen influence seemed to reach the entire battlefield, and the fire attack only reached a few Sandshrew before disappearing. Wildfire continued to attack by curling up and using Rollout through the group as if they were bowling pins. As he got to the end of the group, he was suddenly stopped by a large boulder that had been loosed by Mega Glalie. While Wildfire was dazed, surrounding Alolan Sandshrew began to pile Powder Snow on the Cyndaquil, not allowing it to move before it was knocked out.

After a successful Baton Pass, Silas bounded across the ice while devising a Nasty Plot to boost his stats. The Houndoom arrived at the defensive Sandslash and blew out a Flamethrower. In the intense cold, the attack did not do as much as he hoped. The Sandslash uncurled itself and hissed angrily at Silas. It used both hands to unleash Fury Swipes, striking the Houndoom four times. Silas endured the hit, looking for an opening to hit the Sandslash with Incinerate. The flames that spit from his mouth did little damage again, and the Sandslash seemed proud of its icy powers, not realizing that it was actually Glalie’s strength helping it out. Icicles called forth by Sandslash Crashed around the Houndoom, creating a cage around Hyrem’s Pokemon. Using the horns on his head, he tried ramming against the barrier, but it was rather solid and would take much more force.

Shocked and angered by her Miltank being knocked out, Alice sent out her Swinub,Maasa, to take over and enact some revenge. The Ice and Ground type took immediately to burrowing itself, only to reemerge and splash Toxic all over the targeted Sealeo. The poison seeped into its blubbery skin, and it let out an enraged bark. Maasa went after Sealeo again with Freeze Dry, the move super effective against the Water type. Sealeo sprayed Maasa with Brine, the move hitting hard as the Sealeo was severely weakened. The Swinub was thrown back toward its trainer, and took a moment to recover. A group of Spheal began to roll up to Alice and Maasa, all clapping to try and intimidate the trainer and her Pokemon. The Swinub then used its mastery over the ground to open up a Fissure in the ground, which Sealeo and quite a few tumbled into.

Also targeting the rookery of Spheal was Gary’s Raphael. The Blastoise ducked into its shell and hit a Spheal with Rapid Spin, sending the small round Pokemon rolling away. Raphael went after it intending to hit it with Rock Smash, but the Spheal began clapping enthusiastically to give the Blastoise an Encore. Flattered, Raphael spun again with more flair, and the Spheal looked to be actually enjoying itself as it was tossed into the air again. Raphael snapped out of it, and struck the Spheal with Aura Sphere. While the Spheal was knocked upside down and struggling to right itself again, Gary tossed his Dive Ball. The round Pokemon was quickly swallowed up, and barely was able to try to break its way out of the ball before it clicked.
Congratulations! Gary has caught a Lv. 14 Male Spheal!

Lucas meanwhile sent Amabel to continue going after the other Sealeo. She Discharged a large amount of electricity, striking not only Sealeo but several surrounding Spheal. Sealeo retaliated with Body Slam, throwing itself onto Amabel. The Eelektross released more electricity in a Thunder Wave, paralyzing Sealeo. With limited movement, Sealeo did its best to Swagger, raising Amabel’s attack stat as she attacked it again with Zap Cannon. Sealeo, overwhelmed with the super effective attack, went down, but not before smirking slightly as Amabel became overwhelmingly confused from Swagger.

In a shining streak of red, Jayson’s Spartacus used Bullet Punch to collide several times with Vanilluxe. Vanilluxe strengthened itself with Acid Armor an increasingly worried look appearing on its face. Spartacus went after the Ice type again with Metal Claw, creating deep scratches across its two faces. One of the faces of Vanilluxe blew Icy Wind, attempting to get the Scizor away from it. Spartacus wavered a bit at the strong rush of air, but was able to deliver the finishing blow of Shadow Break. Vanilluxe fell to the ground, and a group of small Vanillite surrounded it in shock. They all looked up at Spartacus and began to yell in Uproar. The tiny cones surrounded the Scizor and continued to scream and cry, terrified about what to do without the presence of their lead Vanilluxe.

Finally arriving to the battle after being rather lost, Austin called forth his Ninetales. Nick thought of a Nasty Plot to pump himself up before running into the battle. The Snorunt he targeted had been enjoying themselves as trainers neglected to target them. They were using Icy Wind to contribute to the continuing hail and wind, and cheering on Glalie and Froslass. They were caught off guard as Nick barreled through them with Flame Charge, which became more of a Quick Attack as the Ninetales’ flames slowly disappeared. The Snorunt’s teeth chattered angrily as they directed their Icy Wind at the Ninetales. Nick tried his best to combat the snow and ice with Flamethrower which ended up only hitting the Snorunt closest to him. The small Ice type ran frantically in circles as the wrap it used around its body caught on fire.

After recalling her fallen Clefable, Athena tossed another Pokeball into the air. Her Mawile appeared and landed on the soft snow.
“Draw some of the weaker Pokemon our way with Sweet Scent,” She directed her companion. The Mawile released a sweet odor into that floated through the snowy air. Several Spheal, Sandshrew, Snorunt, and Vanillite made their way over to Athena and her Pokemon. They were rather distracted, focused mostly on the Mawile and not any Pokemon or trainers that may want to continue going after them. The Sweet Scent seemed to attract something else, and suddenly large, blue snowflakes began to fall from the sky. As they got closer, trainers realized these angry faced snowflakes were in fact Crygonal! As they floated gently down, they Sharpened themselves and prepared to attack.
Alice had been worried that she was going to lose Maasa to the nasty brine attack and all of the Spheal that were beginning to close in, but things seemed to work out. Although knocked off her feet from the quaking, the Sealeo had been swallowed up into the fissure along with many of its smaller followers; and the sweet scent that carried through the air from the Mawile was drawing plenty of other enemies away.

"Maasa, use your amnesia, odour sleuth and earthquake to finish off anymore and make sure the others don't come running." Alice said, directing her little piggy to make a final move on any leftovers that the fissure might have missed. She hoped at least that the widespread attack would be enough to either knock out or dizzy any leftovers, as deep blue eyes had an interest in one of the species being attracted by the fairy some distance away.

Gloved hands fumbled, first to get up and then to retrieve the vibrant pink and green pokedex from her inventory. "Okay, Dexter, help me out here. Find me a male Snorunt if you can." Alice requested, holding the device up and hoping it could snipe a target out through the weather. She could see the Cryogonal closing in, too - another thing to worry about given Mega Glalie causing more trouble than the Frosslass it had in tow. Perhaps it was selfish, but she wanted one of those little tent creatures, and then perhaps she could help take down more of the bigger beasties than they already had...

With news of the massive Beartic attack that halted Primrose’s escape to town spreading across the Rose Garden, many of the trainers joined Jet as they set off to rush to her rescue. Meanwhile, a few trainers remained in the garden in order to wrap up unfinished business with the four garden queens to take out the remaining Swinub and Vulpix.

~~~~~~~

As the battlefield descended into chaos, Palmier the Litwick sat there confidently, ready to add to the disorder. He blew a hazy Smog across the area in the direction of a crowd of Cubchoo. Unfortunately, an Icy Wind blew from one of the cubs, dispelling the fog rather quickly. One of the Cubchoo began coughing however, as toxins had filled its lungs. Turning his attention to the Beartic, Palmier struck it with a mild Night Shade as it finished taking down Silver and Skarmory. If Palmier wanted Beartic’s attention, he sure had it now, as Beartic growled and darted forward and rammed the Litwick hard with a powerful Aqua Jet.

~~~~~~~



Palmier giggled as the noxious smelling smoke caused the Cubchoo to cough. Athena smiled, at least he was having fun. His enjoyment lasted until he was hit with a jet of water, toppling him over and making the flame on his head sizzle.
"Palmier!" Athena cried out. She jumped over the side of the sleigh and attempted to make her way over to her Pokemon. "Are you ok? Maybe this was a bad idea-" Palmier stopped her by holding up a small, wax hand. She slid a bit on the ice, but didn't take another step. Could she trust her Litwick? They hadn't been together long, and she wouldn't want to have him get hurt for being overconfident. She looked over to the Squirtle and Skarmory that had met the Beartic's wrath. At the same time, they weren't alone. There were other trainers with their Pokemon working hard to take down their opponents. Athena felt a rush of guilt wash over her, she hadn't done much at all, and she had even wasted time capturing that Vulpix.
"Wick!" Palmier cried out, bringing Athena back to reality. The harsh wind was blowing the little candle in all directions, but he was trying his best to stay grounded.
"Ok Palmier! Center yourself with Calm Mind!" The trainer directed. She took a couple deep breaths of her own, sharpening her focus. "Try to get Beartic to flinch with Astonish. Then get it caught in a Fire Spin! I believe in you!" She pumped her fist up in the air to punctuate her sentence. Palmier cheered, looking to be re-energized by his trainer's energy. Athena felt her heart swell as her bond with her Pokemon increased.

Mega Glalie, its mouth hanging wide open, let out a deafening roar. The menacing Ice type now was at ground level, levitating only slightly. There was an almost crazy look in its eyes, and it began gnashing its teeth furiously. Several trainers went after the new target almost immediately. The first being Keith, sending Kyle the Heatmor to deliver a Sucker Punch before Glalie could make its first move. The Heatmor’s fist collided with Glalie’s large jaw. While Glalie reeled, Kyle called up several Will-O-Wisps only to have them fizzle out almost immediately. The intense cold emanating from Mega Glalie had some effect on the Fire type move. Keith’s Heatmor flicked its fiery tongue and Fire Lashed his opponent. Glalie let out a low, menacing laugh as Kyle’s froze before it could retreat into his mouth. Guntz the Snorlax arrived at the Heatmor’s side for back up. It opened its mouth wide to Yawn, coaxing Mega Glalie to do the same. Though the Pokemon’s Mega form changed the function of its mouth, it looked a bit calmer and susceptible to sleepiness.
Isaac’s Incineroar Morgana Roared at the Sandshrew surrounding him before leaping into the battle with Glalie. With Fiery Fangs, he clamped down on Mega Glalie’s icy horn. When the Incineroar made contact with Glalie, the fire had all but disappeared, making the attack more of a regular Bite. Glalie forced the Incineroar off by Headbutting into the wall, sending Morgana to the ground and knocking him unconscious. An avalanche of snow fell onto Isaac’s Pokemon, trapping the Fire type. While his Pokemon fought, Isaac took the opportunity to toss a Great Ball at a curled-up Sandshrew that had been isolated due to Morgana’s Roar. The ball landed on the igloo-shaped Pokemon and it was sucked into the device. It wiggled back and forth a few times as the Sandshrew struggled, but the ball let out a satisfying click.
Congratulations! Isaac has caught a Lv. 13 Male Alolan Sandshrew!

Froslass, though severely weakened by the Clefable’s attack, continued to try and protect Glalie. She blew an Ominous Wind, striking Kyle but going right through the Normal-type Guntz. Guntz brought a slide of rocks onto Froslass, causing her to flinch. Rorik’s Snorlax took a deep breath in, and attempted to blow a Flamethrower over the Ice and Ghost type Pokemon. With the effects of Mega Glalie, it turned out looking more like a small Ember. While Guntz was shocked at the ineffectiveness of his move, Froslass struck him across the face with Wake-Up Slap.

In the remaining group of Sandshrew, Wildfire sent out a Heat Wave. Glalie’s frozen influence seemed to reach the entire battlefield, and the fire attack only reached a few Sandshrew before disappearing. Wildfire continued to attack by curling up and using Rollout through the group as if they were bowling pins. As he got to the end of the group, he was suddenly stopped by a large boulder that had been loosed by Mega Glalie. While Wildfire was dazed, surrounding Alolan Sandshrew began to pile Powder Snow on the Cyndaquil, not allowing it to move before it was knocked out.

After a successful Baton Pass, Silas bounded across the ice while devising a Nasty Plot to boost his stats. The Houndoom arrived at the defensive Sandslash and blew out a Flamethrower. In the intense cold, the attack did not do as much as he hoped. The Sandslash uncurled itself and hissed angrily at Silas. It used both hands to unleash Fury Swipes, striking the Houndoom four times. Silas endured the hit, looking for an opening to hit the Sandslash with Incinerate. The flames that spit from his mouth did little damage again, and the Sandslash seemed proud of its icy powers, not realizing that it was actually Glalie’s strength helping it out. Icicles called forth by Sandslash Crashed around the Houndoom, creating a cage around Hyrem’s Pokemon. Using the horns on his head, he tried ramming against the barrier, but it was rather solid and would take much more force.

Shocked and angered by her Miltank being knocked out, Alice sent out her Swinub,Maasa, to take over and enact some revenge. The Ice and Ground type took immediately to burrowing itself, only to reemerge and splash Toxic all over the targeted Sealeo. The poison seeped into its blubbery skin, and it let out an enraged bark. Maasa went after Sealeo again with Freeze Dry, the move super effective against the Water type. Sealeo sprayed Maasa with Brine, the move hitting hard as the Sealeo was severely weakened. The Swinub was thrown back toward its trainer, and took a moment to recover. A group of Spheal began to roll up to Alice and Maasa, all clapping to try and intimidate the trainer and her Pokemon. The Swinub then used its mastery over the ground to open up a Fissure in the ground, which Sealeo and quite a few tumbled into.

Also targeting the rookery of Spheal was Gary’s Raphael. The Blastoise ducked into its shell and hit a Spheal with Rapid Spin, sending the small round Pokemon rolling away. Raphael went after it intending to hit it with Rock Smash, but the Spheal began clapping enthusiastically to give the Blastoise an Encore. Flattered, Raphael spun again with more flair, and the Spheal looked to be actually enjoying itself as it was tossed into the air again. Raphael snapped out of it, and struck the Spheal with Aura Sphere. While the Spheal was knocked upside down and struggling to right itself again, Gary tossed his Dive Ball. The round Pokemon was quickly swallowed up, and barely was able to try to break its way out of the ball before it clicked.
Congratulations! Gary has caught a Lv. 14 Male Spheal!

Lucas meanwhile sent Amabel to continue going after the other Sealeo. She Discharged a large amount of electricity, striking not only Sealeo but several surrounding Spheal. Sealeo retaliated with Body Slam, throwing itself onto Amabel. The Eelektross released more electricity in a Thunder Wave, paralyzing Sealeo. With limited movement, Sealeo did its best to Swagger, raising Amabel’s attack stat as she attacked it again with Zap Cannon. Sealeo, overwhelmed with the super effective attack, went down, but not before smirking slightly as Amabel became overwhelmingly confused from Swagger.

In a shining streak of red, Jayson’s Spartacus used Bullet Punch to collide several times with Vanilluxe. Vanilluxe strengthened itself with Acid Armor an increasingly worried look appearing on its face. Spartacus went after the Ice type again with Metal Claw, creating deep scratches across its two faces. One of the faces of Vanilluxe blew Icy Wind, attempting to get the Scizor away from it. Spartacus wavered a bit at the strong rush of air, but was able to deliver the finishing blow of Shadow Break. Vanilluxe fell to the ground, and a group of small Vanillite surrounded it in shock. They all looked up at Spartacus and began to yell in Uproar. The tiny cones surrounded the Scizor and continued to scream and cry, terrified about what to do without the presence of their lead Vanilluxe.

Finally arriving to the battle after being rather lost, Austin called forth his Ninetales. Nick thought of a Nasty Plot to pump himself up before running into the battle. The Snorunt he targeted had been enjoying themselves as trainers neglected to target them. They were using Icy Wind to contribute to the continuing hail and wind, and cheering on Glalie and Froslass. They were caught off guard as Nick barreled through them with Flame Charge, which became more of a Quick Attack as the Ninetales’ flames slowly disappeared. The Snorunt’s teeth chattered angrily as they directed their Icy Wind at the Ninetales. Nick tried his best to combat the snow and ice with Flamethrower which ended up only hitting the Snorunt closest to him. The small Ice type ran frantically in circles as the wrap it used around its body caught on fire.

After recalling her fallen Clefable, Athena tossed another Pokeball into the air. Her Mawile appeared and landed on the soft snow.
“Draw some of the weaker Pokemon our way with Sweet Scent,” She directed her companion. The Mawile released a sweet odor into that floated through the snowy air. Several Spheal, Sandshrew, Snorunt, and Vanillite made their way over to Athena and her Pokemon. They were rather distracted, focused mostly on the Mawile and not any Pokemon or trainers that may want to continue going after them. The Sweet Scent seemed to attract something else, and suddenly large, blue snowflakes began to fall from the sky. As they got closer, trainers realized these angry faced snowflakes were in fact Crygonal! As they floated gently down, they Sharpened themselves and prepared to attack.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to catch a Pokemon, make sure it is properly weakened first before throwing a Pokeball, but doing so does not use up a battle action!
"Seems fire isn't working too well, unless it's a point blank..." the teen muttered as he watched Nick execute his orders. At least he had his target now. Looking at the flaming Snorunt, the poor thing was flailing all over the place. Oh well, soon it wouldn't be on fire. He hoped. That is, if it wanted to be caught. Well, if his plan to catch it didn't work, then the freezing winds here most certainly will.

"Nick, see that Snorunt you put on fire? That's our target. Get in close and beat it down with an Iron Tail. Then put a point blank Flamethrower to it's face. The try to put it to sleep with a Hypnosis," Austin ordered while he fidgeted around his back. He knew he put that there... It just had to be there.

He finally was able to produce a red and white orb from within his bag. He tossed it up and down in his hand, gettign a feel for the Pokeball. it was a while since he last caught a Pokemon like this, so he hoped his aim wasn't too bad.

"Nick, when you're done with your orders, I'm gonna try to catch that one. There's bigger fish here to fry, and it seems more powerful back up has just arrived. Besides, I don't feel like wasting too much time on one Snorunt. We've got things to do here," he told his Ninetales, who nodded as he prepared to execute his new set of orders. After that, Austin would throw the Poke Ball in his hands and try to catch the Snorunt.

With news of the massive Beartic attack that halted Primrose’s escape to town spreading across the Rose Garden, many of the trainers joined Jet as they set off to rush to her rescue. Meanwhile, a few trainers remained in the garden in order to wrap up unfinished business with the four garden queens to take out the remaining Swinub and Vulpix.

~~~~~~~

As Roserade blasted a group of Swinub with an Energy Ball and Tsareena Trop Kicked a Vulpix, several of the trainers’ Pokemon remained focused on their targets, as their trainers had announced their intentions of adding icy foxes to their teams. Soleil the Eevee remained honed in on her opponent and lunged at it to pin it down with a powerful Take Down. As the Vulpix yelped in pain, Soleil winced as her shoulder became a bit bruised in the process. Not wanting to give the Vulpix a chance to retaliate, the Eevee kept it off balance with a well-timed Quick Attack. Finally able to get an attack in, Vulpix blew another frosty Powder Snow Soleil’s way, and the Eevee’s Baby-Doll Eyes did little to stop the snow. Nonetheless, Mélina and Soleil had worn the fox down quite a bit, and the trainer threw an Ice Ball at it. The ball pulled the Vulpix inside and after shaking once… twice… three times, it stopped with an audible “Ding!” signifying its success. Congratulations, Mélina has captured a lv.10 female Alolan Vulpix!

Meanwhile, Hope the Shuppet had her proverbial hands full with her own cluster of opponents. Having singled out one of the Vulpix, the ghost Pokemon slipped into the Shadows and Snuck up behind it, jumping out to strike it from behind. As the Vulpix whipped around, Hope opened her mouth and spewed forth a nasty glob of ectoplasm, the Gunk Shot drenching it entirely in a foul-smelling odor. The Vulpix cried out in disgust, blowing a flurry of Powder Snow at Hope, who shivered and looked to finish her opponent off with a Night Shade. The Vulpix collapsed in the snow, defeated. Not wanting to waste a minute, Liawe hurled a Pokeball at the creature, pulling it inside. The ball shook three times before stopping with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Liawe has captured a lv.12 female Alolan Vulpix!

Next up, Khione the Sneasel looked to tag in for her confused teammate Belial. As she squared off against Belial’s previous opponent, the Sneasel charged forward to attack. However, she stopped abruptly and clapped her hands together, Faking the Vulpix Out in the process. With the icy fox now stunned, Khione Kicked the Vulpix Low, taking out its feet in the process. As Vulpix lay on the ground, it flashed Khione with its Baby-Doll Eyes, hoping to soften the Sneasel from launching any more attacks. Luckily for it, Khione was done and Eskil quickly threw a Pokeball at it. The ball pulled Vulpix inside and landed in the snow, shaking once, twice, and three times before coming to a halt with a “Ding!” Congratulations, Eskil has captured a lv.12 female Alolan Vulpix!

As Patches looked to give Rika a relief, the Espeon was recalled to her ball and was replaced mistakenly by Aya the shiny Furret. Deciding to go with the flow as she always does, Patches ordered for Aya to continue Rika’s battle. Aya complied and began Coiling up her long body, tightening her muscles as well as her focus as she waited for Vulpix to strike. Vulpix obliged by firing off a rapid Ice Shard that ricocheted off of the Furret’s furry body. Aya pounced and clocked the Vulpix with a Fiery Punch, knocking it back. Patches quickly chucked a Pokeball at it, pulling the Vulpix inside. The ball landed on the ground and shook once… twice… and three times before stopping with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Patches has captured a lv.15 male Alolan Vulpix!

With most of the Vulpix taken care of, Hotstuff set his sights on the mob of remaining Pokemon, mostly Swinub. The young Charmander looked to unleash hell and heat up the frozen garden in the process, blowing a powerful Heat Wave across the area. Aya the Furret chipped in, knocking out a straggler with a Shadow Ball before Hotstuff released a second Heat Wave. As several of the Swinub succumbed to the heat, Hotstuff began to breathe heavier and heavier, having expended a large amount of energy to this point. As a pair of Swinub launched a last resort Mud Bomb his direction, Hotstuff finished them off with a third Heat Wave before succumbing to his own exhaustion, passing out in the dirt as the snow melted all around him.

Thanks to Hotstuff’s efforts, much of the snow had melted off of the plants in the Rose Garden. The four flower queens were picking off the remaining swine and vulpine left and right and gave them a thankful cheer. As they motioned to indicate that they could handle things from here, the second sleigh had arrived to pick up the trainers and take them to another battlefield, where Beartic and its army of Cubchoo looked ready to strike.

~~~~~~~

As the Cubchoo surrounded the carriage that contained Primrose and Poppy, the Beartic growled menacingly and watched from afar. As a couple of trainers stepped out of the carriage to hold off the bears and protect Primrose, the other carriage with reinforcements from the Rose Garden quickly arrived with Jet as well. Jet called upon the services of his Skarmory once again, as it soared overhead. The trainers followed suit, sending out their Pokemon to make a stand as well.

Looking to defend the carriages, Attila the Larvitar showered the area in Stealth Rocks to act as a natural deterrent to the polar bear cubs. She then waited for Alex to scan the mob with his Pokedex, and after he found a male Cubchoo and pointed it out to her, Attila blasted it with a Dark Pulse. As she charged forward, the Cubchoo blasted her with an Icy Wind, chilling her quite a bit and slowing her down in the process. Attila connected with her target regardless, knocking it back with an effective Iron Head.

Meanwhile, Jess was joined by her shiny Houndour Sheik, who Howled loudly to announce her arrival. She then Leered at the Cubchoo, trying to intimidate them while Princess the Stufful flashed her Baby-Doll Eyes at the Cubchoo before following it up with a Leer of her own. Some of the Cubchoo Growled in response while a couple others urged the Houndour and Stufful to Play Nice in an attempt to lower their guard. As the Cubchoo continued their advance, Sheik held them off with a flurry of Embers to keep them at bay. Singling one of the Cubchoo out, Princess went up to it and smacked it with a Brutal Swing for solid damage as it began Biding its time.

Not to be left out of the action, Beartic let out a bellowing Roar and began making its way towards the carriage. The plucky Silver stood bravely in its way, jumping up to slap it back with a Tail Whip. Jet’s Skarmory lent its assistance with a Steel Wing to keep it off balance, and Silver was able to follow it up with a hard-hitting Tackle to the chest. Beartic roared angrily and grabbed the Squirtle by the shell and Slashed at Silver before throwing him down hard in the snow. Beartic then began to glow an icy blue as it summoned a pillar of snow and ice that hit Jet’s Skarmory like an Avalanche, knocking it out of the sky. Silver and Skarmory both lay on the ground, defeated.

As the battlefield descended into chaos, Palmier the Litwick sat there confidently, ready to add to the disorder. He blew a hazy Smog across the area in the direction of a crowd of Cubchoo. Unfortunately, an Icy Wind blew from one of the cubs, dispelling the fog rather quickly. One of the Cubchoo began coughing however, as toxins had filled its lungs. Turning his attention to the Beartic, Palmier struck it with a mild Night Shade as it finished taking down Silver and Skarmory. If Palmier wanted Beartic’s attention, he sure had it now, as Beartic growled and darted forward and rammed the Litwick hard with a powerful Aqua Jet.

~~~~~~~

With the trainers providing enough cover, the carriage containing Primrose and Poppy was able to position itself free of the pillar of ice. “We must get the young Miss back to town quickly!” Poppy called out. “Once she is safe, we’ll send reinforcements!” As the Mudsdale took off for town, reinforcements were most certainly going to be needed. The Beartic roared again and began following the carriage as it resumed its advancement towards the town. “We can’t let that Beartic reach town!” Jet exclaimed as he returned Skarmory back to its Pokeball. “Stop it, Staraptor!” Jet quickly tossed another Pokeball, revealing a Staraptor who cawed and swooped into the air.

As the carriage containing Poppy and Primrose finally arrived in town, Poppy quickly got out and helped Primrose get to her feet. As he looked around, the main street in town was eerily quiet. “Is anyone there? We need a doctor!” Poppy exclaimed but to no answer. Carrying Primrose on his tired old back, Poppy made his way down the street towards the town square. There he found a number of villagers lying everywhere, fast asleep. “That’s not good…” As Poppy continued to look around, he heard some rustling from one of the storefronts. The glass window had been broken in, and as he watched, a Smoochum crawled out of it, wearing some stolen jewelry. A few other Smoochum appeared from a bakery, having filled their bellies with food. “Smoo?” one of them cooed as even more Smoochum appeared from an alley. “The town has been overrun too!” Poppy exclaimed into the walkie-talkie as the Smoochum began to Sing. “Send… help…” Poppy yawned as he collapsed with Primrose on his back, both of them falling fast asleep.

Things were looking bad for Galea Town as the Beartic marched towards it, and no one awake to defend it. As the carriage brought the remaining trainers from the Rose Garden to join up with the others battling the Cubchoo and Beartic, Jet informed them of the new development and presented yet another decision they had to make. The trainers could either stay here and continue battling the bears, especially the Beartic who meant serious business, or take the remaining carriage to town and hope to wake up the villagers and get help.


Once again, you are presented with a choice. You may either stay and battle the Cubchoo and Beartic or rush to town to chase out the Smoochum and wake up the villagers. Transportation will still be available even if you choose to stay behind. Reminder, don’t wait too long to attempt to capture a Pokemon you are interested in!
Patches gasps so hard from excitement that she momentarily starts choking on her spit. “*cough* We caught *cough* it Aya!” Of course even choking doesn’t stop her enthusiasm as she runs up to her new friends ball and picks it up. “It’s super close to Christmas so he’s like our very own Christmas present! So I think I’m going to call him… Noel!” After loudly announcing to the world the name she has given her new Pokemon, she finally realizes that Aya is no longer anywhere near her. “Oh my god Aya!” After a brief moment of panic, she glances toward one of the carriages and sees Aya resting in it as it begins to take off. “W-whoa wait for meeee~!” She runs and leaps onto the ride and is finally taken to the place that seems to be having the most trouble.

“Oh my god these are so cute too!!!!” She leaps out of the carriage, ignoring the large imposing Beartic and runs up to the Cubchoo that are causing their own havoc. “Aya, you’re going to help me catch one of these as well…! Aya?” Once again, she realizes that Aya is not at her side. Unlike her trainer, Aya immediately picked up on the serious threat that was the Beartic and knew that she needed to help immediately. She was one of the newer members in Patches’ team but one thing she has already picked up on is that Patches is a little slow on the uptake and since this was an emergency she knew she had to take things into her own hands for the time being. The shiny Furret was small but she was also confident in her abilities and knew that even if it was only a little bit, she could still be of some use. She needed to help quickly so she was going to use her Agility to increase her speed through the snow. She was going to run right up to that Beartic and dig her Super Fangs into it and then smash it with an Iron Tail!

Claiming my lv. 15 male Alolan Vulpix, naming him Noel, and declaring his ability to be Snow Cloak.

The Abominable Snowdown
A Cloud Garden Winter Campaign

Town: Ironthunder, Raves, Patches, morningstar, lilbluecorsola, OkikuMew, Median Dia, CyberBlastoise, Schala, biggggg5, PikaGod, Rotom310

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, not all was rosy as the Beartic continued its march towards town. As buildings appeared on the horizon, a few trainers hurried after it to try and delay the beast further. Looking to stop the accompanying Cubchoo as well, Attila the Larvitar ran up to the one she had been fighting and Crunched down on it hard. Before Cubchoo could retaliate, Alex quickly pulled out an all-white Pokeball fittingly known as a Snow Ball and hurled it at the bear. It pulled the Cubchoo inside, vigorously shaking once… twice… three times… before coming to a complete halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Alex has captured a lv.13 male Cubchoo!

With the Beartic ignoring its opponents and continuing down its path, Khione hurried after it and smacked it in Pursuit for solid damage before attempting to trip up the large polar bear with a Low Kick. The Beartic roared in discomfort before turning to swat her away with a Super Powerful strike. Khione went flying, landing in the snowbank as her entire body reeled in pain. Beartic seemed to begin panting a little bit, but it continued its march regardless. Aya the Furret darted forward with great Agility, running up to the Beartic and bit into its flank with her Super sharp Fangs. Beartic roared in anger, turning to face the Furret and Crash a pillar of Icicles on her for great damage.

After getting up from the hard hit from earlier, Palmier the Litwick began to Calm his Mind before hoping to Astonish the Beartic with a distracting startle. However, Beartic ignored him and continued marching forward. Annoyed, Palmier blew forth a ring of Fire that Spun around the Beartic and trapped it inside. As the snow melted around it, Beartic let loose another bellowing roar of discomfort before blasting through the fire with a quick Aqua Jet, ramming into the candle Pokemon once again. Palmier fell over, defeated.

Stepping up to try and slow the beast next, Attila let loose a deafening Screech to get its attention. As Beartic glared at the Larvitar and covered its ears, Khione ran up and Punched Beartic, Powering herself Up in the process. Aya looked to get revenge next, smacking Beartic with a hard Iron Tail as Attila brought up the rear with an Iron Head. Not to be outdone, Jet’s Staraptor hit Beartic with a powerful Close Combat. Beartic roared angrily and began glowing blue once again before releasing an Avalanche of snow at the four attackers. Attila, Aya, and Jet’s Staraptor hung on, critically weakened, while Khione unfortunately succumbed to her wounds from earlier.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!

The Abominable Snowdown
A Cloud Garden Winter Campaign


Waterfall - Maskerade, Ex-Admiral Insane, Missingo. Master, GeminiSpark, Naruxami, 134, TheKnightsFury, Sandaa, Meetan, Lil'twick, myahoo

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!

Cryogonal. The Crystallizing Pokémon. An Ice-type. An Ice-type that had for so long eluded Keith. He knew that there were much bigger concerns in this battle than catching a Cryogonal, he knew that the Glalie had to be dealt with. He didn't forget any of that. No, Keith had a plan. Or at least the basic outline of a plan. And right now, said plan required him to battle something else, at least for the moment. The fact that a pack of Cryogonal just so happened to present themselves as potential targets, all that meant was that Keith could take out two Taillow with one Rock Throw here.

At Keith's command, Meowth charged forward, landing a picture-perfect Power-Up Punch on the Cryogonal of choice. Technician being Meowth's Ability, the super effective Fighting move hit even harder than it normally would have done, and it certainly caught Cryogonal's attention, to say the least. The Ice-type's reflexive action was noticed by Keith, and identified for what it was. "That's Sheer Cold!" Keith exclaimed, having seen Glalie use that same move moments ago. "Meowth, dodge it!"

"Yeah!" Meowth grunted, lunging out of the way of the blast of frigid energy that would have meant an instant knockout. His dodge was swift and very timely- the attack had missed completely.

"All right!" Keith grinned. "Meowth, now use Punishment!"

"Take dat!" Meowth cried out, lunging at Cryogonal, his claws glowing black as he took a single great swipe at the sentient snowflake. The attack hit hard, harder than it would have done by default, powered up by the Cryogonal's own attempt at increasing its attack power. Keith grinned- this attack was what allowed him to win the first round of the ultimately ill-fated Summershine Cup, and was easily Meowth's best answer to anything that relied on powering itself up.

But by no means was Cryogonal deterred by this. Sharpening itself once more, it unleashed a swift and well-aimed Ice Shard. Meowth couldn't avoid this one, so quickly was the attack launched- a fact that Keith couldn't help but notice and be impressed by. "Meowth, you OK?" Keith asked.

"I'm good!" Meowth confirmed with a nod, not taking his eyes off the Cryogonal.

"Glad to hear it!" Keith nodded back. "Meowth, use Fury Swipes!!"

Meowth said nothing, merely grinning as he extended his claws once more, and lunged. He jumped onto Cryogonal, repeatedly swiping at it with great ferocity. The Crystallizing Pokémon was trying to shake Meowth off, but due to its growing tiredness, was failing to do so. Also a fact Keith couldn't help but notice.

This was it. And Keith knew it, too. Poison-types were his specialty and his passion, but by no means did this exclude the other types. Few Ice-types caught Keith's eye the way the uniquely interesting and formidable Cryogonal had done. Keith remembered the first time he ever saw a Cryogonal- his friend Hyrem had sent one out in the Bar many years ago, explaining that he'd hatched it from an Egg, but wasn't planning on keeping it. Had the PC storage restrictions been different in those days, Keith would have made an offer for it on the spot. Alas, he hadn't had the chance, no Eggs he cared for ever yielded one, no Cryogonal appeared before him in the wild, and every time a Cryogonal had been offered for trade, other Trainers had jumped on it. Trainers with more PC space, more to offer, always leaving Keith in the dust.

That. Ended. Now.

It was with a grin on his face, a gleam in his eye, and no small amount of personal satisfaction that Keith enlarged the Christmas Ball in his right hand while using his left hand to turn his hat backwards. "Cryogonal... You're mine at last!" Keith declared, holding the Christmas Ball out in front of him. Then, he drew his right arm back... "Now! Go, Christmas Ball!" Keith yelled, hurling the sphere forward.

The sphere struck the sentient snowflake and sucked it inside. It fell to the ground just as Meowth had done (for he had still been holding onto Cryogonal). Keith watched intently as the Christmas Ball wobbled around in the snow... he'd thrown it too soon... it would surely break out... No! These concerns turned out to be completely baseless, as Keith realized when the ball stopped shaking, giving that telltale sound to signify a successful capture.

Meowth approached Keith, Christmas Ball clutched in front paws, and held it up. Keith, grinning, accepted the now-occupied sphere, and stared at it for a second. "...All right!" Keith cheered, holding the ball up high. "I just caught... a Cryogonal!"

"Meowth, dat's right!" Meowth chimed in.

But now was far from the time to continue carrying on in such a fashion- not long after the ball vanished, signaling Keith's Cryogonal's journey to the PC Storage System, a massive blast blew everyone backwards, Keith and Meowth included. Even Vinny had to struggle to keep his footing. "Damn, hat man!" the Camerupt exclaimed. "Glalie ain't too pleased!"

That was an understatement, Keith realized. The weather was worsening. Harsher hail, more damaging and hindering Icy Winds, and Glalie looked enraged and battle-ready.

But Keith was ready for battle, too. Even after seeing Rorik's powerful Snorlax go down, the intense cold was doing nothing to extinguish the Poison-type Trainer's fighting spirit. Even if Athena's words of encouragement were rendered nearly inaudible over the storm, Keith was as ready to go as if he'd heard them loud and clear. "Alright!" he shouted to make himself heard to Meowth. "Now, Meowth, let's take on Glalie! Cryogonal should have been a perfectly good warm-up for you- now let's put all that to use!"

"Right!!" Meowth shouted back to Keith.

Keith nodded. "Let's go!" he shouted. "Meowth, give it a Feint Attack, and follow up with Iron Tail!"

"I'm on it!!" Meowth practically screeched to make himself heard.

And after that, Keith started to move his arms. "Now, Meowth!!" he bellowed, the gleam of the Poisonium Z set into his Z-Ring shining even through the harsh winter weather.

"Let's do it!" Meowth agreed, mimicking the movements Keith was making.

Keith made the movements, the same movements he made every time he did this. "Our minds, our spirits, linked as one!" he bellowed. "A power as intense as the Plague Swamp of Cascadia! Feel the poison- BE the poison!"

"Dat's right!!!" Meowth responded as the Z-Power flowed into him, flowed from the Poisonium Z into the Scratch Cat Pokémon, powering up his Gunk Shot into something far more powerful.

"Let's go! Use Acid Downpour!!!" Keith shouted.


Code:
  
Meowth surrounded itself with its Z-Power!

Meowth unleashes its full-force Z-Move!

...



Acid Downpour
Code:
Keith used Christmas Ball!

All right! Cryogonal was caught!

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!
Rorik looked on as the supremely beautiful and destructive blossom dealt severe damage to the Mega Glalie; the shockwave pushed the nearby Trainers and Pokemon back, but although Guntz had been successful in finally weakening the biggest threat on the field, he had unfortunately failed to take out the Froslass in the process. And then, just as he'd feared, came retaliation - a devastating Ice Beam pierced through Guntz's Thick Fat and knocked out the bear in a single shot.

The Professor fell to his knees at the same time that Guntz hit the floor, unconscious. Seeing his dearest partner collapse from injuries that Rorik had knowingly exposed him to was heart-wrenching, the guilt overwhelming. But then, he felt someone lift him effortlessly by his armpits - Volg shook his head, begging Rorik to regain his composure.

Guntz... wanted this. He had a point to prove, didn't he? That he could measure up to that monster... and by Arceus, he did. He injured that Glalie so bad, it went into a rage. It's thanks to Guntz that they realize we're an actual threat... Guntz may well have changed the tide of this battle. And he did so willingly. I... I can't let his sacrifice be in vain!

The cavalry had arrived, too. After Guntz's Bloom Doom, a number of other Trainers had shifted their attention to the main threat; and now that his main soldier had fallen, Rorik knew it was time to change his approach once more.
Pulling out Guntz's Luxury Ball, the Professor took aim and recalled his partner, whispering a heartfelt "thank you" as he did.

No more distractions; Athena has the small fry occupied. It's now or never, but I lack the raw power to keep fighting - it's time to back up those who can make a difference now.

Keith Masters was sending out his Meowth for a Z-Move of his own, and Rorik suspected others might want to use their big guns on the foe as well. But it had multiplied into countless illusions, and missing a power move at this point could be catastrophic. There was only one way to ensure everyone made it out relatively unscathed and their offense didn't go to waste - Rorik would have to prepare the groundwork for everyone else.

"Stahl, your turn once again," he called out to the Shiny Starmie with a determination he never knew he possessed. "We need to create an opening for everyone else... Raise a Light Screen to keep everyone safe and draw Glalie's undivided attention with your Spotlight! That should allow the others to strike without interruptions... Keep Glalie's eyes on you and Recover if you're feeling weak!"

He'd briefly considered a Swift shower to dispel the Double Team clones, but once he heard Keith call for an Acid Downpour, he reasoned it should be widespread enough to deal with any false images. And as such, he had more time to provide back up and allow the true heroes to do their job...

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, not all was rosy as the Beartic continued its march towards town. As buildings appeared on the horizon, a few trainers hurried after it to try and delay the beast further. Looking to stop the accompanying Cubchoo as well, Attila the Larvitar ran up to the one she had been fighting and Crunched down on it hard. Before Cubchoo could retaliate, Alex quickly pulled out an all-white Pokeball fittingly known as a Snow Ball and hurled it at the bear. It pulled the Cubchoo inside, vigorously shaking once… twice… three times… before coming to a complete halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Alex has captured a lv.13 male Cubchoo!

With the Beartic ignoring its opponents and continuing down its path, Khione hurried after it and smacked it in Pursuit for solid damage before attempting to trip up the large polar bear with a Low Kick. The Beartic roared in discomfort before turning to swat her away with a Super Powerful strike. Khione went flying, landing in the snowbank as her entire body reeled in pain. Beartic seemed to begin panting a little bit, but it continued its march regardless. Aya the Furret darted forward with great Agility, running up to the Beartic and bit into its flank with her Super sharp Fangs. Beartic roared in anger, turning to face the Furret and Crash a pillar of Icicles on her for great damage.

After getting up from the hard hit from earlier, Palmier the Litwick began to Calm his Mind before hoping to Astonish the Beartic with a distracting startle. However, Beartic ignored him and continued marching forward. Annoyed, Palmier blew forth a ring of Fire that Spun around the Beartic and trapped it inside. As the snow melted around it, Beartic let loose another bellowing roar of discomfort before blasting through the fire with a quick Aqua Jet, ramming into the candle Pokemon once again. Palmier fell over, defeated.

Stepping up to try and slow the beast next, Attila let loose a deafening Screech to get its attention. As Beartic glared at the Larvitar and covered its ears, Khione ran up and Punched Beartic, Powering herself Up in the process. Aya looked to get revenge next, smacking Beartic with a hard Iron Tail as Attila brought up the rear with an Iron Head. Not to be outdone, Jet’s Staraptor hit Beartic with a powerful Close Combat. Beartic roared angrily and began glowing blue once again before releasing an Avalanche of snow at the four attackers. Attila, Aya, and Jet’s Staraptor hung on, critically weakened, while Khione unfortunately succumbed to her wounds from earlier.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!
With that threat to the town dealt with, Liawe and Calem were rushed to the next trial that barrelled at them. A Beartic, in hail, with Slush Rush, with a handful of Cubchoo. ...Could it get much worse? Admittedly Calem had proved himself useful thus far (eliciting a chuckle from Liawe as she remembered the sight of a Smoochum flailing around while a Caterpie wearing bunny ears chewed on its head repeatedly), but against a foe of this size? He'd get squashed in seconds. The Caterpie was brave, sure. But he was still inexperienced with combat and this foe clearly was anything but. It had already taken out a few other Pokemon, and the last thing Liawe wanted was to add Calem to the casualty list.

That didn't deter the brave little Caterpie however. He had secret techniques, powerful ones too, and he had both his species' natural traction for tree-climbing and a bunny hood to enable him to make gravity-defying leaps. He lunged forth, aided by his mystical rabbit ears, landing on the Beartic, before unleashing a Flamethrower straight across the beast's body. As the Caterpie scuttled around the colossal Ice type's body, he unleashed another Flamethrower, this time aiming for a leg, before firing off a String Shot in the hopes of binding the creature's legs together. He may not best this monstrosity, but he could damn well do it some devilry, and if he could drag it to hell with him, then the more the merrier in the pits of damnation.

With many of the trainers having finished things up at the Oran Orchard, they arrived at the Rose Garden to a scene of chaos. There were Swinub everywhere and now joining them were a swarm of Alolan variety Vulpix. The weakened Primrose had been escorted over to the Mudsdale carriage, but the ground typed horse had become susceptible to its weakness. Fortunately for her, the second Mudsdale drawn carriage pulled up at the Rose Garden’s gates with a reinforcement of trainers from the orchard, and with the arrival of more trainers meant that there was now a second Mudsdale that was ready to go.

As Epona the Ponyta and Isaac the Alolan Marowak worked to escort Primrose to the carriage so she could be taken back to the safety of Galea Town, there were now icy Vulpix before them and angry Swinub behind them. While Epona stared down the Vulpix before her, Isaac turned to cover the Swinub at their rear. Epona proceeded forward with Primrose still clinging to her and Stomped down hard on a Vulpix before Double Kicking another two away from them with her hooves. Isaac stomps his foot down and multiple slabs of Rock suddenly spring up from the ground and trap a Swinub in a Tomb. He then stomps once again, creating a small shockwave the rippled throughout the ground and Bulldozed some of the foundation of the earth. Epona was not unaffected due to her proximity, leaving her footing a little shaky. Fortunately for her, the ground typed Mudsdale was much sturdier and comfortable with the rumbling earth. As Poppy caught up, he helped load Primrose into the carriage. “Thank you,” she weakly whispered, giving Epona a kiss on the forehead and smiling fondly at Isaac, who was a bit further away. With a few remaining Swinub closing in, Isaac turned and smacked them with his bone with the power to Break a Brick.

The Swinub’s numbers were finally beginning to thin out as several trainers’ Pokemon continued to plow through their muddy opponents. With mud in his eyes, Silver the Squirtle looked to spread the damage around and not worry about accuracy. He blew a flurry of Bubbles around him, knocking back several Swinub in the process. He then squirted forth a Water Gun in order to wash his face. As he did so, a Swinub had Tackled him right in the chest but by doing so was the victim of an inadvertent point-blank blast of water, knocking it out. Meanwhile, Hotstuff the Charmander was dealing with mud issues of his own. As he breathed a scorching Flamethrower at the female Swinub he faced off against, the mud in his eyes caused him to miss his target by a few inches. Swinub countered with a ramming Tackle, knocking Hotstuff back but allowing him to locate his target at the same time. Another quick Flamethrower hit the mark this time, burning the icy pig to a crisp. Not wanting to waste a moment, Big threw a Premier Ball at the fallen Swinub, pulling it inside. The ball landed in the snow and wiggled once, twice, and three times before coming to a halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations Big, you have captured a lv.11 female Swinub!

Looking to finish off a cluster of Swinub as well as the one who had fallen for her, Princess the Stufful gave it a piercing Leer to show him she meant business. Next, with another Brutal Swing, she knocked it out for good. As the Swinub continued to fall, Vulpix seemed to take their place as the dominant invaders of the Rose Garden, and many of the trainers’ Pokemon stepped forward to meet their challenge. Hope the Shuppet floated up to an icy fox and blasted it with a Shock Wave before blowing a haunting and Ominous Wind to send a shiver down its spine. The Vulpix countered with a chilling wind of its own, blowing a flurry of Powder Snow at Hope. Not to be outdone, Hope blew a second Ominous Wind, and as she did so, was suddenly overcome with a swirl of spectral energy that made her feel faster, stronger, and tougher all at the same time.

After scanning a crowd of Vulpix with her Pokedex, Mélina picked out a female one and sent out Soleil the Eevee to take it on. Soleil fired off a flurry of Swift stars to pelt the Vulpix and catch her attention, and while the icy fox was off balance, the Eevee followed it up with a ramming Quick Attack. As Soleil prepared to sink her teeth into the Vulpix, it quickly flashed her its Baby-Doll Eyes to catch her attacker off guard. The plan seemed to work, weakening the force of Soleil’s Bite before countering with a chilling Powder Snow. Looking to take on a vulpine opponent of his own, Belial the Houndoom picked one out and fired off a small spectral fireball, the Will-o-Wisp making contact with the Vulpix, instantly burning it. Vulpix winced and retaliated with a status move of its own, firing off a Ray of Confusion in the Houndoom’s direction. Belial wobbled unsteadily but was still able to sink his teeth into his target for a crushing Bite.

The Vulpix continued to take over the garden, their numbers seemingly endless, as Rika the Espeon picked one out at her trainer’s behest and telekinetically lifted it into the air with a mind-bending Confusion. As it crashed back into the ground, Rika Whipped it with her Tail to lower its guard before slamming into it with a Quick Attack. Not a fan of the Espeon’s speed, the Vulpix answered with an Icy Wind which cooled off Rika considerably. Meanwhile, Monte the Scraggy squared off with an opposing Vulpix of his own. Looking to thin the crowd first, Monte fired off a Dark Pulse to blast some of the Vulpix away. Once he had singled out a remaining foe, he charged forward to attack. The Vulpix shot a rapid Shard of Ice in his direction, but the Scraggy would not be deterred as he Butted Heads with the Vulpix. In one quick motion, Monte kicked his Leg below the Vulpix and Swept its footing out from beneath it. Seizing the opportunity, Athena hurled a Pokeball at the Vulpix, pulling it inside. The ball landed in the snow and shook once… twice… and three times before stopping with a “Ding!” Congratulations, Athena has captured a lv.10 female Alolan Vulpix!

Now faced with the remaining swarm of Alolan Vulpix, Miapladicus the Staryu flew into the fray while Spinning Rapidly, sending a few Vulpix flying in the process. The Staryu was peppered by a flurry of Ice Shards that did minor damage as it Spun Rapidly once again to flee the mob. Once the Staryu was clear of the swarm, a surging Heat Wave from Hotstuff did quite a number on the crowd, literally toasting them. Once they were weakened, Miapladicus was able to finish a few of them off with a blast of Power from its Gem. Many more Vulpix and Swinub began to fall as the ground began to shake fiercely. The Earthquake was caused by none other than Princess the Stufful, damaging friend and foe alike. While Hope, Silver, Soleil, Rika, and Monte were able to escape much of the damage due to being further away from the epicenter, Miapladicus was much closer to the action and Hotstuff, Isaac, and Belial were a bit more prone to the ground type attack. Epona was able to gracefully dodge the attack by Bouncing up into the air and then crashed down on an unsuspecting Vulpix to finish it off.

~~~~~~

Once Primrose was loaded up in the carriage and ready to go, Poppy turned to face the trainers. “Thank you so much for helping save the young Miss. If any of you wishes to tag along as a bodyguard, it would be much appreciated!” After waiting for any trainers to accept Poppy’s request and board the carriage, the Mudsdale set off to return to the town. Trotting at a brisk pace, the Mudsdale was about halfway back towards the town before coming to a complete halt. “What’s wrong?” Poppy asked the creature, who appeared visibly spooked. It had sensed some kind of predator nearby, but it couldn’t tell from which direction.

ROOARRRR!!! A massive booming bellow suddenly echoed across the plains. The Mudsdale took off running, but came to another abrupt halt as a giant pillar of Icicles Crashed in right before it. Looking outside of the carriage, Poppy spotted a number of Cubchoo that had surrounded them. Standing behind them on its hind legs was a massive Beartic, growling menacingly and ready to strike. “WE NEED BACKUP RIGHT NOW!” Poppy yelled into his walkie-talkie, clearly panicked. “We’re under attack! It’s a giant Beartic and a bunch of Cubchoo!”

~~~~~~~

Poppy’s panicked voice cackled out of Jet’s walkie-talkie back in the garden. “We need to go help them!” Jet announced nervously. However, there was still a number of remaining Swinub and Vulpix in the garden, although their numbers had been reduced considerably. Jet looked over at the remaining Mudsdale, still frozen from before. “Bell!” a cry came out from behind the frozen hedges. It was none other than the Bellossom Queen, looking a little worse for wear. She hurried over to the frozen horse and gave it her best Aromatherapy, easing its wounds and thawing it out. The Mudsdale let out a pleased sigh of relief and whinnied out of gratitude.

From deeper into the Rose Garden, an Energy Ball suddenly blasted a few of the Swinub while a Trop Kick scattered some Vulpix as Queen Roserade and Queen Tsareena arrived onto the scene. A flurry of Petals Danced across the garden and Queen Lilligant appeared with a number of flower Pokemon who were residents of the garden. The four queens of the garden had seen better days, but they were finally able to recover up enough to rally the troops and help the trainers defend their home. With the second Mudsdale now ready to go, it was up to the trainers whether they wanted to stay back and help the queens in the garden or go with Jet to rescue the group who had been ambushed by the polar bears. “We need to hurry quickly, but once we get there, I’ll send the Mudsdale back to pick up anyone else who decides to stay behind!” Jet called out as he boarded the carriage.


Once again, you are presented with a choice. You may either stay behind in the garden and continue to battle Pokemon or venture out to save Primrose and Poppy from the Beartic. Transportation will still be available even if you choose to stay behind. Reminder, don’t wait too long to attempt to capture a Pokemon you are interested in!
(OOC: Welp, looks like I'm stuck with a snowpix. Definitely should've gone to the Waterfall, haha)

For some reason, it seemed as if the world skipped forward when the quake hit. Suddenly, the vulpix army had grown sparse sparse, the battle had moved on, a new threat had apparently emerged and been swiftly taken care of, while another was still making a crash course toward Disasterville. Odd as it was, Chroma hardly thought anything of it- clearly, this was some sort of portent for her to capture one of the remaining vulpix. Was it a universal call, or perhaps one of acceptance from an unseen elder ninetales? It was impossible to tell, but the meaning came through loud and clear. Well, maybe not loud, but certainly as clear as a crystalline icicle. There certainly enough of those hanging around to see how clear they were...

Unfortunately, it didn't seem as if any particular Fox Pokemon was an ordained individual. Was it a pick an choose situation? "Or are they telling me to leave it up to destiny?" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before focusing her attention on an individual. "Alright, guess you're gonna do. Mia/Plad, let's try to wear'em down without being too rough with a Psywave and a couple Water Guns!" She quickly sifted through her bag to find an unused pokeball as the staryu went to work, already glowing excitedly at the prospect of having a new team member, and kept her eyes out for a good opportunity.

Hopefully these vulpix had the same penchant for loyalty their fiery cousins did...

Meanwhile, not all was rosy as the Beartic continued its march towards town. As buildings appeared on the horizon, a few trainers hurried after it to try and delay the beast further. Looking to stop the accompanying Cubchoo as well, Attila the Larvitar ran up to the one she had been fighting and Crunched down on it hard. Before Cubchoo could retaliate, Alex quickly pulled out an all-white Pokeball fittingly known as a Snow Ball and hurled it at the bear. It pulled the Cubchoo inside, vigorously shaking once… twice… three times… before coming to a complete halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Alex has captured a lv.13 male Cubchoo!

With the Beartic ignoring its opponents and continuing down its path, Khione hurried after it and smacked it in Pursuit for solid damage before attempting to trip up the large polar bear with a Low Kick. The Beartic roared in discomfort before turning to swat her away with a Super Powerful strike. Khione went flying, landing in the snowbank as her entire body reeled in pain. Beartic seemed to begin panting a little bit, but it continued its march regardless. Aya the Furret darted forward with great Agility, running up to the Beartic and bit into its flank with her Super sharp Fangs. Beartic roared in anger, turning to face the Furret and Crash a pillar of Icicles on her for great damage.

After getting up from the hard hit from earlier, Palmier the Litwick began to Calm his Mind before hoping to Astonish the Beartic with a distracting startle. However, Beartic ignored him and continued marching forward. Annoyed, Palmier blew forth a ring of Fire that Spun around the Beartic and trapped it inside. As the snow melted around it, Beartic let loose another bellowing roar of discomfort before blasting through the fire with a quick Aqua Jet, ramming into the candle Pokemon once again. Palmier fell over, defeated.

Stepping up to try and slow the beast next, Attila let loose a deafening Screech to get its attention. As Beartic glared at the Larvitar and covered its ears, Khione ran up and Punched Beartic, Powering herself Up in the process. Aya looked to get revenge next, smacking Beartic with a hard Iron Tail as Attila brought up the rear with an Iron Head. Not to be outdone, Jet’s Staraptor hit Beartic with a powerful Close Combat. Beartic roared angrily and began glowing blue once again before releasing an Avalanche of snow at the four attackers. Attila, Aya, and Jet’s Staraptor hung on, critically weakened, while Khione unfortunately succumbed to her wounds from earlier.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!
The first part of the plan worked a treat as Attila rushed the weakened Cubchoo and clamped down hard on it, holding it down and injuring it to the point where Alex could launch the snow ball at it. Enveloping the bear, the ball shook a few times before stopping, a familiar ding in his ear notifying him of a successful capture. "Good work Attila, but no time for rest."

With one problem solved, the next was to deal with the rampaging Beartic rushing for town, something that greatly concerned Alex. With other trainers also focusing on it, the strength of the ursine was evident, striking down someone's Sneasel with a brutal attack, then rushing through a Litwick like nothing, to his concern. Attila was having none of this, eliciting a battle cry that was more a screech than bellowing roar, grabbing the Beartic's attention and forcing it to hold his head. The opportunity presented, her and the others laid into it with their best shot, an iron tail and close combat assault combined with her iron head smashing the Beartic hard. However the blue glow around it was far from good news. "Attila, brace!"

A mighty avalanche of snow and ice cascaded over the group, leaving the Larvitar on her knees gasping, while the other three were either injured or incapacitated. Alex grit his teeth, it was a gutsy effort but the Beartic had the advantage in strength, and if it could withstand those assaults, then bringing it down before it reached town was imperative. However, in her current state Attila wouldn't be capable of another good hit, let alone with the hail dinging down...

"Hail? Oh damn, not good..." he gulped. As though empowered by the icy weather, the Beartic seemed to rush through the slush and snow, magnifying the threat it posed. The setting sun didn't help either, and he knew that it had to be stopped, now. "Attila, fall back and recuperate in safety...wait, where'd Isaac end up?"

---

Within town, the Alolan Marowak had stayed behind to keep Primrose safe, but took the opportunity to take a nap as they neared town. The sounds of commotion and the loud echo woke him up though, and as he found himself in the middle of town, he gave a nod as Smoochum were chased out and the young heiress got to more secure safety, yet inside the ghost type the unnerving feeling of impending danger loomed. Turning to the town entrance, he squinted. At the sight of the Beartic approaching, and Alex running behind trying to get ahead of it in relative vain, he furrowed brow. If it was still going, it would need some serious firepower to deal with it. Without a word, the Marowak stepped forward, waving his fiery bone.

"Oh thank Arceus! We need to hit this thing as hard as we can!" Alex called, but the Bone Keeper was well prepared, psyching himself up. As he focused his energy, he was ready to maximise his power with a belly drum, with his lack of injury thus far still leaving him healthy enough. However, that wasn't the only thing as his eyes locked on to Alex's. The human faltered, gauntlet open slightly, before realisation came to mind. To hit this threat full force, one must unleash one's potential...

He reached into a pocket, pulling out a shiny brown crystal. Whether the gods knew this day would come, or whether it was coincidence, as he slotted the Rockium Z onto the back of the gauntlet, in the groove built for it, he felt almost compelled to act. Bringing arms before him, he raised them up and stomped once, as though hefting a boulder over head, then whirled round and stomped again, as if throwing the boulder, and he felt the energy flow from the Z crystal towards Isaac, whose rock slide would become empowered. Ready to unleash his full-force Z-move, with enough power to crush continents...

Alex just hoped that this would be enough to put the bear down once and for all as Isaac prepared himself to put everything into one decisive strike...

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

Bill continued to cheer for Megas as he kept going up to random strangers to wake them up, but someone playing a flute nearby seemed to have some effect on the townsfolk. Feeling some relief, it was broken when he had heard that the Beartic was closing on the city. Thankfully, the now waking townsfolk were taking care of the remaining Smoochum.

Bill was nearish the area that the Beartic was likely going to attack as well, meaning he had better get a move-on.

"Golett!" Megas yelled out. It seemed like that the Beartic was getting attacked by a large group of people, and Megas did not want to be left out.

"No, Megas, not yet," Bill tells his Pokemon. The Golett turned its head down in disappointment. Bill gives a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, we still have our secret weapon, but right now, we need you to stay alive for it to work, okay?"

Megas looks up at its trainer before accepting his words and returning to its pokeball willingly.

"Okay, for now, we'll need to make sure that we keep a good distance." Bill goes to the edge of the town, on the pathway. He pulls out the Cherish Ball, he keeps on his belt before calling out his Finneon.

"Swift, let's do this!"

The Finneon appeared above the snow before plopping down. He glares at Bill. "Sorry, but this is the best we can do right now. Trono's not ready for battles, Megas is weak to ice types, and Silver's fainted. You're the last one I can count on."

Anger subsided, instead the fish Pokemon was filled with determination. Bill pulled out his Pokedex. "Dex, scan for gender"

"Okay, we've had enough of this. This Beartic wants to fight...let's fight. Start things off with a Water Gun on it, followed by another Water Gun...and should this Beartic be female, use Attract on it. Try to slow it down as much as you can."

Finneon was ready to fight, after all, its heavy body might not do much, but it might at least attract some attention.

Athena felt a rush of excitement as she watched Palmier rush in to battle. Though he failed to Astonish such a large opponent, he was able to create enough of a fire to hinder Beartic. The Ice-type seemed to have taken note of the Litwick's weakness, and hit him again with an Aqua Jet. Palmier let out a squeak as he was knocked out.
"You did a really good job..." Athena said quietly as she brought out Palmier's Pokeball and called him back. She held the ball to her chest. "I'm really proud of you!"

Athena had to duck and run a few feet to get out of the path of the Beartic. It was getting dangerously close to the town, and it looked like Pokemon owned by the townspeople had joined in the battle. She retrieved another Pokeball from her bag and tossed it out on the snow. Eclair jumped out looking rather excited.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," She knelt down to Eclair's level. The Mawile pointed to the rampaging Beartic and Athena nodded. Eclair started to run out onto the battlefield but Athena pulled her back. "Wait wait! Please be careful... It's definitely weakened but don't underestimate it." Eclair rolled her eyes and tapped her foot impatiently.
"Alright, sorry, I know you'll be fine! Let's show them what we can do." Athena let out a stressed sigh and tried to calm her mind once more. Eclair let out a mischeveous giggle, giving Athena an idea for what they could do. "Try to get in there and Tickle the Beartic. Then use Play Rough. If you get hit, retaliate with Metal Burst, okay?" Eclair gave her trainer a thumbs up, then sprinted off toward the Beartic, ready to lower its defenses and the power of its attacks.


(Forgot to do it earlier oopsie)
Claiming my Vulpix and putting her in a Pokeball. Leaving her unnamed for now but declaring her ability as Snow Warning.

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!
Gary watched intently as the battle unfolded and was reaching its climax. Glalie was on a rampage, and several Pokemon had fallen to its attacks in the process. Raphael had taken a few nasty hits himself, but thankfully the Blastoise was built like a tank and withstood it. The bad news was that Glalie had managed to dodge one of his attacks with a sneaky Double Team and knocked the giant tortoise on his shell with a point blank Blizzard. To add insult to injury, Raphael was struck by friendly fire of a nearby Earthquake attack. Despite all of this, Gary’s confidence in his Pokemon never wavered.

The sun slowly began to set over the horizon of Mount Zephyria, casting a giant shadow over the frozen waterfall. To make matters worse, as the battle raged on the two ice Pokemon in charge of this invasion continued to increase their evasion with bothersome Double Teams. As he listened to a few other trainers call out their strategies for a last ditch effort to take the Glalie and Froslass down, Gary knew exactly what he needed Raphael to do.

“Don’t sweat it, Raph. We’ve got this right where we want to be!” Gary called out to his Blastoise, who remained on his shell. “First things first, get back to your feet by using a Rapid Spin and knock away any pests in the process if they try getting cute. Once you’re steady, let’s keep our aim on that Glalie and try to take it down for good! Let’s give it everything you’ve got and blast it with a pair of two more Aura Spheres!” As he lay on his back and listened to his trainer’s strategy, Raphael slowly nodded and answered with a simple “Blassst.”

The tide was turning, but time was slowly starting to run out. Fortunately, more people were able to capture some of their adversaries, including Keith and the Shiny Charizard's trainer catching one Cryogonal each, as well as a trainer with a Ninetales putting a Snorunt to sleep before adding the Snow Hat Pokemon to his team. In addition, the trainer with the Incineroar was able to find his beloved Pokemon, while Tate was working on facing off against a Snorunt.

The real threat, however, took everything against him in stride, mainly because there wasn't much being thrown at him. That all changed, however, as the Snorlax belonging to...wait, he still hadn't said who he was? Well, that's unfortunate. Anyway, the Snorlax had a pretty large trick to accompany his large body, and as his trainer finished a dance that Hyrem had never seen before the large bear used an attack that looked just like Solar Beam but was much more devastating as it exploded upon the Mega Glalie upon impact, filling everything with gloom and Doom...except replace gloom with Bloom, and that's what it seemed like it was. Even looking at it was difficult because it was like looking at the sun. Suddenly, everyone realized the explosion was consuming the ground as well because at that moment Hyrem, Silas, Kenna, and Happy were all caught up in the snow being blown, and Hyrem had to shield his face with his arms, being exposed to so much cold when all of a sudden that...stopped.

He dared to lift his head up and see a familiar gray chin right in front of him, shielding the group from the outer effects of the blast, even though they were not caught in the blast. "...Kilogram! Man, you really know when we're all in danger, don't you?" The Steelix didn't answer but kept his face in front of everyone as he set his body down around them until the blast subsided, at which point he lifted his face to reveal a giant crater where everything used to be, and at the very bottom of it floated the Mega Glalie, who started to realize just how powerful of a foe he and the Ice-type army were up against. His next roar soon escalated the power of the storm as well as the severity of it, and then, just to top it all off, shot a powerful Ice Beam at the Snorlax who had just unleashed his Z-Move and knocked him unconscious despite any natural resistances he had from his ability.

As Gary's Blastoise and Melissa's Aron made themselves the next Pokemon to engage the leader, Hyrem finally found Silas, who had thankfully broken out of his cage with Rock Smash but instead of an Alolan Sandslash was now facing a Sealeo, his body starting to feel all the effects of the raging snowstorm. There wasn't much else Silas could target in the vicinity, so, taking a short moment to remember this wasn't Brittany he was battling, he spat out a glob of pure, burgundy sugar, similar to the Gummis Hyrem would feed his Pokemon from time to time, and just like a sticky Bomb it adhered to the Sealeo before exploding in a burst of Fighting energy, dealing a bunch of damage to it and making it mad enough to spit out a Water Gun at him, causing the Houndoom to yelp from the cold water that impacted against his chest. Knowing he might not last long if he was hit with another Water attack, he had to act fast, so he barked the order, "Team Flash Fire, time to attack together, and you as well, Emma! Now!!"

Tsurara decided to pretend her teammate didn't just order her so curtly in addition to using her real name in public, and she fell in behind the Fire Pokemon, waiting for them to charge in and ram the Sealeo one by one before descending upon her victim and...passing right through it? Well, whatever she did certainly worked as the Sealeo fainted then and there, Tsurara seeming quite satisfied as she licked her lips. "Mmmm, Sealeo blubber...it has been quite some time since I had something like that, it really takes me back to the exploits I had in my past life."
"You've eaten Sealeo meat before?" Hyrem asked, suddenly feeling disturbed and concerned for the safety of his own sea lion.
"Oh, darling, need I remind you of my privileged upbringing? You'll find I'm no stranger to...exotic cuisine, some of which I have been kind enough not to reveal to certain allies of mine."
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you kept it that way."
"As always, no promises~"

Hyrem took that as a "yes" and looked around for how the rest of the battle was going, which was becoming more and more difficult to do as he felt like he was freezing to death. They just barely took out the Sealeo, but what about the Alolan Sandslash? That question was answered as the Earth rumbled and Quaked nearby, and at the epicenter of it was the Swinub owned by the woman from earlier, who had used it to completely overwhelm the Alolan Sandslash but had also caused Gary's Blastoise and the Aron to suffer from it as well.

As the sun was starting to set, he knew things were getting dire: they would have no chance of surviving if they were still battling in this storm when it got dark, they had to neutralize it now. And Mega Glalie and the Froslass accompanying him seemed to realize this fact, they wanted to prey on the human trainers' fragility and stall things out until it got dark, so they both made good use of their Double Team spells to create fake images of themselves until the entire group of trainers and Pokemon were surrounded by these illusions. Fortunately, there were still some things going for them: first, Athena and her Mawile had been able to keep the smaller Pokemon busy so they wouldn't distract the trainers from focusing on the stronger Ice Pokemon, and second, Keith was ready to have Meowth use his own Z-Move, one that Hyrem had seen work wonders against a certain Shadow Pokemon they had fought prior to this assault. Between that, and everyone else focusing their attacks on Mega Glalie, they had a chance of bringing it down, and in that moment, whether the cold was getting to him or some other unknown factor, Hyrem dared to risk deviating from that focus, even for one moment.

"Kilogram," he called upon his Steelix while trying his best to keep himself warm. "I need you for this last part...use Curse to power yourself up...then look for a Bergmite and use Heavy Slam on it--just trust me on that--then join the others in attacking the Mega Glalie with your Gyro Ball. I'm really counting on you for this!" The Iron Snake simply gave a nod before reciting an incantation as part of his Curse attack, invoking the power of Zygarde, the Avatar of Balance, for aid in smiting down those who would seek to completely upset the ecosystem here.

As for Hyrem, he was struggling to stay standing, so he knelt down in the snow for a moment and tried rubbing his hands together to create some semblance of warmth for them before searching through his bag to uncover a Christmas Pokeball, one that he would be ready to toss at whatever Bergmite that Kilogram would find and attack, hoping the stat boosted Steel-type attack, combined with a potential level difference, would be enough to weaken it so it could be captured. As he stood back up, he blew on the hand holding the special Pokeball to, again, keep it from going numb, which would render it useless in throwing the capsule at the critical moment. That was when Kenna, Silas, and Happy all gathered around him, huddling up close to him to lend their internal flames to their trainer, with Kenna once again grabbing his spare hand and keeping it nice and warm inside her mouth.

Meanwhile, Tsurara looked on, realizing she could possibly benefit no matter what happened. If the Ice Pokemon won, and the humans all froze to death along with their Pokemon, she could simply join up with them and thrive among them, perhaps even becoming the one pulling the strings behind them all. And of course, if Hyrem and company won, she would have a potential smorgasbord of fallen Ice Pokemon to feed on and, judging from the way her trainer was holding a Pokeball, possibly something to...sample from over and over again. It was all about looking at things practically for the spirit who used to be known as Emma Rimeson, and she was most likely the only one able to do that and discover a win-win scenario out of this large scale battle. She wasn't about to divulge these thoughts to anyone, of course, but they were certainly at the forefront of her mind as she watched what may be the climax of the battle and witness if Hyrem's rare moment of greed would cost him everything.

Quite exciting, now that I think about it...ooo, and I simply cannot wait to watch him in action either...

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!
Jayson was delighted to see the Pokeball settle in the snow and quickly rushed over to collect the captured Cryogonal. It had fallen from the heavens, just like the shield of Mars and thus he would call her Ancile. Jayson then turned his attention back to the main battle, where things had gotten both better and worse. Trainers had turned their efforts to the main pair, dealing a fair amount of damage to the Glalie and Froslass. The Froslass would have likely been finished, however the Mega Glalie had shoved it out of the way of Guntz's Z Move, taking the powerful blow on its own. Jayson was shocked to see the Snorlax fall into the snow, it was a hardy Pokemon, well equip to handle the conditions but even it couldn't handle the full force of the Glalie.

With the Froslass weakened, Jayson set his sights on it. If he could take it down, the rest of the trainers could focus their energy on taking down the Glalie. "I'll finish the Froslass!" Jayson shouted, hoping at least some of the other trainers would hear him. "Odysseus we've dealt with Double Teams before, first use your Magnet Bomb to determine the real Froslass, then hit it twice more with Magnet Bomb!" The Magneton buzzed as he moved into attack position, determined to carry out his orders and bring the Froslass down. Jayson looked around to the other trainers, it seemed the battle for the Waterfall was nearing its end, he just hoped that the end meant their victory, not their defeat....

Jayson caught a Cryogonal!

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, not all was rosy as the Beartic continued its march towards town. As buildings appeared on the horizon, a few trainers hurried after it to try and delay the beast further. Looking to stop the accompanying Cubchoo as well, Attila the Larvitar ran up to the one she had been fighting and Crunched down on it hard. Before Cubchoo could retaliate, Alex quickly pulled out an all-white Pokeball fittingly known as a Snow Ball and hurled it at the bear. It pulled the Cubchoo inside, vigorously shaking once… twice… three times… before coming to a complete halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Alex has captured a lv.13 male Cubchoo!

With the Beartic ignoring its opponents and continuing down its path, Khione hurried after it and smacked it in Pursuit for solid damage before attempting to trip up the large polar bear with a Low Kick. The Beartic roared in discomfort before turning to swat her away with a Super Powerful strike. Khione went flying, landing in the snowbank as her entire body reeled in pain. Beartic seemed to begin panting a little bit, but it continued its march regardless. Aya the Furret darted forward with great Agility, running up to the Beartic and bit into its flank with her Super sharp Fangs. Beartic roared in anger, turning to face the Furret and Crash a pillar of Icicles on her for great damage.

After getting up from the hard hit from earlier, Palmier the Litwick began to Calm his Mind before hoping to Astonish the Beartic with a distracting startle. However, Beartic ignored him and continued marching forward. Annoyed, Palmier blew forth a ring of Fire that Spun around the Beartic and trapped it inside. As the snow melted around it, Beartic let loose another bellowing roar of discomfort before blasting through the fire with a quick Aqua Jet, ramming into the candle Pokemon once again. Palmier fell over, defeated.

Stepping up to try and slow the beast next, Attila let loose a deafening Screech to get its attention. As Beartic glared at the Larvitar and covered its ears, Khione ran up and Punched Beartic, Powering herself Up in the process. Aya looked to get revenge next, smacking Beartic with a hard Iron Tail as Attila brought up the rear with an Iron Head. Not to be outdone, Jet’s Staraptor hit Beartic with a powerful Close Combat. Beartic roared angrily and began glowing blue once again before releasing an Avalanche of snow at the four attackers. Attila, Aya, and Jet’s Staraptor hung on, critically weakened, while Khione unfortunately succumbed to her wounds from earlier.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!
Big breathes onto his hands as they were pretty much the only part of him still cold, his body kept warm by his coat and his face flushed with the adrenaline of the battles. He nods appreciatively as Geddy fires off Charge Beam after Charge beam, each on getting slightly stronger. While the electric Pokemon was continually getting stronger one of the smoochum landed a lucky Sweet Kiss on him. "XAAAAAANAAAAAADUUUUUUU!" He sings out as the confusion takes hold, though he continues with the charge beams, the excess energy growing to seemingly dangerous levels. Big, unable to appreciate the reference made by Geddy digs into his bag and pulls out an old Casteliacone and runs over to shove it into Geddy's singing mouth. The Tynamo winces as ice cream isn't the ideal food for cold weather and a shudder runs through Geddy's body. "Whoo that's some brain freeze but thanks for the rescue eh." Geddy says and Big nods back at the sentiment if not the words themselves. The nice moment is interrupted by a roar from the incoming Beartic. He winces as he watches several other trainer's pokemon getknocked out by its blows. "Oof, guess we get to fight it after all, you still feeling charged?" Big asks. Geddy nods and shoots towards the beartic. "Ok we built up with charge beams so time to unleash it, time to use that move we got for your birthday, give us all the Flash Cannons you can manage on Winnie the Pooh over there!" Big points triumphantly towards the beartic. Geddy bites back a comment about Pooh being a honey bear, not a polar bear but prepares to fire anyway.

Mega Glalie, its mouth hanging wide open, let out a deafening roar. The menacing Ice type now was at ground level, levitating only slightly. There was an almost crazy look in its eyes, and it began gnashing its teeth furiously. Several trainers went after the new target almost immediately. The first being Keith, sending Kyle the Heatmor to deliver a Sucker Punch before Glalie could make its first move. The Heatmor’s fist collided with Glalie’s large jaw. While Glalie reeled, Kyle called up several Will-O-Wisps only to have them fizzle out almost immediately. The intense cold emanating from Mega Glalie had some effect on the Fire type move. Keith’s Heatmor flicked its fiery tongue and Fire Lashed his opponent. Glalie let out a low, menacing laugh as Kyle’s froze before it could retreat into his mouth. Guntz the Snorlax arrived at the Heatmor’s side for back up. It opened its mouth wide to Yawn, coaxing Mega Glalie to do the same. Though the Pokemon’s Mega form changed the function of its mouth, it looked a bit calmer and susceptible to sleepiness.
Isaac’s Incineroar Morgana Roared at the Sandshrew surrounding him before leaping into the battle with Glalie. With Fiery Fangs, he clamped down on Mega Glalie’s icy horn. When the Incineroar made contact with Glalie, the fire had all but disappeared, making the attack more of a regular Bite. Glalie forced the Incineroar off by Headbutting into the wall, sending Morgana to the ground and knocking him unconscious. An avalanche of snow fell onto Isaac’s Pokemon, trapping the Fire type. While his Pokemon fought, Isaac took the opportunity to toss a Great Ball at a curled-up Sandshrew that had been isolated due to Morgana’s Roar. The ball landed on the igloo-shaped Pokemon and it was sucked into the device. It wiggled back and forth a few times as the Sandshrew struggled, but the ball let out a satisfying click.
Congratulations! Isaac has caught a Lv. 13 Male Alolan Sandshrew!

Froslass, though severely weakened by the Clefable’s attack, continued to try and protect Glalie. She blew an Ominous Wind, striking Kyle but going right through the Normal-type Guntz. Guntz brought a slide of rocks onto Froslass, causing her to flinch. Rorik’s Snorlax took a deep breath in, and attempted to blow a Flamethrower over the Ice and Ghost type Pokemon. With the effects of Mega Glalie, it turned out looking more like a small Ember. While Guntz was shocked at the ineffectiveness of his move, Froslass struck him across the face with Wake-Up Slap.

In the remaining group of Sandshrew, Wildfire sent out a Heat Wave. Glalie’s frozen influence seemed to reach the entire battlefield, and the fire attack only reached a few Sandshrew before disappearing. Wildfire continued to attack by curling up and using Rollout through the group as if they were bowling pins. As he got to the end of the group, he was suddenly stopped by a large boulder that had been loosed by Mega Glalie. While Wildfire was dazed, surrounding Alolan Sandshrew began to pile Powder Snow on the Cyndaquil, not allowing it to move before it was knocked out.

After a successful Baton Pass, Silas bounded across the ice while devising a Nasty Plot to boost his stats. The Houndoom arrived at the defensive Sandslash and blew out a Flamethrower. In the intense cold, the attack did not do as much as he hoped. The Sandslash uncurled itself and hissed angrily at Silas. It used both hands to unleash Fury Swipes, striking the Houndoom four times. Silas endured the hit, looking for an opening to hit the Sandslash with Incinerate. The flames that spit from his mouth did little damage again, and the Sandslash seemed proud of its icy powers, not realizing that it was actually Glalie’s strength helping it out. Icicles called forth by Sandslash Crashed around the Houndoom, creating a cage around Hyrem’s Pokemon. Using the horns on his head, he tried ramming against the barrier, but it was rather solid and would take much more force.

Shocked and angered by her Miltank being knocked out, Alice sent out her Swinub,Maasa, to take over and enact some revenge. The Ice and Ground type took immediately to burrowing itself, only to reemerge and splash Toxic all over the targeted Sealeo. The poison seeped into its blubbery skin, and it let out an enraged bark. Maasa went after Sealeo again with Freeze Dry, the move super effective against the Water type. Sealeo sprayed Maasa with Brine, the move hitting hard as the Sealeo was severely weakened. The Swinub was thrown back toward its trainer, and took a moment to recover. A group of Spheal began to roll up to Alice and Maasa, all clapping to try and intimidate the trainer and her Pokemon. The Swinub then used its mastery over the ground to open up a Fissure in the ground, which Sealeo and quite a few tumbled into.

Also targeting the rookery of Spheal was Gary’s Raphael. The Blastoise ducked into its shell and hit a Spheal with Rapid Spin, sending the small round Pokemon rolling away. Raphael went after it intending to hit it with Rock Smash, but the Spheal began clapping enthusiastically to give the Blastoise an Encore. Flattered, Raphael spun again with more flair, and the Spheal looked to be actually enjoying itself as it was tossed into the air again. Raphael snapped out of it, and struck the Spheal with Aura Sphere. While the Spheal was knocked upside down and struggling to right itself again, Gary tossed his Dive Ball. The round Pokemon was quickly swallowed up, and barely was able to try to break its way out of the ball before it clicked.
Congratulations! Gary has caught a Lv. 14 Male Spheal!

Lucas meanwhile sent Amabel to continue going after the other Sealeo. She Discharged a large amount of electricity, striking not only Sealeo but several surrounding Spheal. Sealeo retaliated with Body Slam, throwing itself onto Amabel. The Eelektross released more electricity in a Thunder Wave, paralyzing Sealeo. With limited movement, Sealeo did its best to Swagger, raising Amabel’s attack stat as she attacked it again with Zap Cannon. Sealeo, overwhelmed with the super effective attack, went down, but not before smirking slightly as Amabel became overwhelmingly confused from Swagger.

In a shining streak of red, Jayson’s Spartacus used Bullet Punch to collide several times with Vanilluxe. Vanilluxe strengthened itself with Acid Armor an increasingly worried look appearing on its face. Spartacus went after the Ice type again with Metal Claw, creating deep scratches across its two faces. One of the faces of Vanilluxe blew Icy Wind, attempting to get the Scizor away from it. Spartacus wavered a bit at the strong rush of air, but was able to deliver the finishing blow of Shadow Break. Vanilluxe fell to the ground, and a group of small Vanillite surrounded it in shock. They all looked up at Spartacus and began to yell in Uproar. The tiny cones surrounded the Scizor and continued to scream and cry, terrified about what to do without the presence of their lead Vanilluxe.

Finally arriving to the battle after being rather lost, Austin called forth his Ninetales. Nick thought of a Nasty Plot to pump himself up before running into the battle. The Snorunt he targeted had been enjoying themselves as trainers neglected to target them. They were using Icy Wind to contribute to the continuing hail and wind, and cheering on Glalie and Froslass. They were caught off guard as Nick barreled through them with Flame Charge, which became more of a Quick Attack as the Ninetales’ flames slowly disappeared. The Snorunt’s teeth chattered angrily as they directed their Icy Wind at the Ninetales. Nick tried his best to combat the snow and ice with Flamethrower which ended up only hitting the Snorunt closest to him. The small Ice type ran frantically in circles as the wrap it used around its body caught on fire.

After recalling her fallen Clefable, Athena tossed another Pokeball into the air. Her Mawile appeared and landed on the soft snow.
“Draw some of the weaker Pokemon our way with Sweet Scent,” She directed her companion. The Mawile released a sweet odor into that floated through the snowy air. Several Spheal, Sandshrew, Snorunt, and Vanillite made their way over to Athena and her Pokemon. They were rather distracted, focused mostly on the Mawile and not any Pokemon or trainers that may want to continue going after them. The Sweet Scent seemed to attract something else, and suddenly large, blue snowflakes began to fall from the sky. As they got closer, trainers realized these angry faced snowflakes were in fact Crygonal! As they floated gently down, they Sharpened themselves and prepared to attack.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to catch a Pokemon, make sure it is properly weakened first before throwing a Pokeball, but doing so does not use up a battle action!
Lucas was more than thrilled at seeing his Pokémon knock-out the Sealeo so quickly. But his enthusiasm was just as quickly curbed when the Sealeo winced one last time as its final move was pulled off with success. Lucas could only stare in mix of bafflement and worry as he saw Amabel spinning around in space and slapping its cheeks with jovial cheer, sparks flying as she did. The swagger was a clear success and Lucas gritted his teeth as he contemplated what to do next…for quite a while.

While Lucas was overthinking his position in the battle, the Glalie and Froslass were in a deep battle with the rest of his allies, a troupe of Cryoginal having been dispatched as well by the comrades. Finally, Lucas decided to give up on his Elektross for now and called back his confused Pokémon. Off to the side, their leader Athena was sngle-handedly taking on all of the smaller Pokémon by distracting them away from the others. Lucas called out through the roaring snowstorm, hopefully not in vain.

“SNOWBALL!” His Mamoswine had been standing to the side of the battle, out of the way. He hadn’t retreated her to the safety of her Pokéball when he disembarked and he hoped she was still alright despite it. His focus was on helping the Mawile before she was getting overwhelmed. It was going to be a bit selfish what he was going to do next but he hoped the attacks wouldn’t cause too much trouble for the other trainers and their Pokémon.

A low moan emanated from beyond the pelting hail. Snowball was still here. Lucas ran over as best he could while calling out to her. She too, ploughed through the snow towards him as he did. Lucas grabbed her by the tusks to steady himself in the winds. “I need you, you’re up next.” The Mamoswine roared readily. “Go help the Mawile, get in there and Earthqu-,” Lucas stopped. He couldn’t do that to everyone. “Thrash through the group and knock out as many as you can, keep doing that until they’re unconscious or fleeing. After that (if she still has moves left),” he looked towards the Glalie and Froslass who were double-teaming. “Odor Sleuth the Froslass and then the Glalie.

Lastly, he called out to Athena and Mawile as loud as he could, “Watch out! Retreat!” wanting them to avoid Snow’s thrashing.

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!
As Jess attempted to rouse her companions, propping Miss Primrose's body up to prevent further chill from seeping into her bones, she heard another melody join the chorus, this time a rhapsody of blue. Jess glanced up to see her good friend Mélina playing a flute to seduce the townspeople back from slumber, like the Pied Piper come to claim his due, only arrived as a savior instead of a symbol of doom. She beamed in relief as others flocked to join the fray along with the wakened villagers, successfully driving off most of the Smoochum.

When Poppy arose, he appeared confused but quickly remembered his charge, calling over a local doctor to examine her. While her condition was critical, it wasn't too late to save the lass's life, so the concerned residents helped hurry her over to the clinic. With the young lady now in more capable hands, Jess breathed another exhale, smiling at Mélina and patting Link on the head in thanks for their assistance.

While things were a bit more peaceful now, Jess knew there was still another threat encroaching in the form of an eight-foot tall bear and its cohorts. However, there was another thought nagging at the back of her brain, which the music had reminded her of: the Flabébé family and Comfey she had befriended before. She hadn't seen them back at the Rose Garden, and had become too preoccupied with Primrose's safety at the time to search for them. She bit her lip, wondering if it would be too selfish of her to abandon her current post to check on them, weighing options. It seemed there was plenty of firepower to protect the town though, as its inhabitants prepared to defend their home with everything they had, sending out their own Machop and Growlithe to stand ground along with the other volunteers' Pokémon. With their power combined, Jess reasoned they stood a fair chance of taking down the beast. Besides, Sheik was already facing off against the creature, and something told her she didn't need to worry about the Houndour's abilities when it came to combat.

Thus, she made her decision and summoned Epona once again, hastily hopping on her back along with Link.

"Can you take us back to the Rose Garden? I want to make sure my friends there are okay. Please hurry."

Upon returning to the entrance gate, Jess relaxed a bit to see the situation seemed much more calm now compared to before, with nary a pig nor pup in sight, leaving only trampled trails of pawprints as they likely fled from the strength of the four flower queens. ...However, her attention was arrested by a quiet cry coming from a snowbank.

"Auu~"

Tiptoeing closer to investigate further, the group discovered a small straggler seemingly left behind by its pack. From its dazed expression and the way it dizzily stumbled around, Jess recognized it as the one Epona had knocked out earlier with her weight. Her heart swelled with sudden sympathy for the frail fox as she dismounted along with Link, although as she attempted to approach the target bared its fangs and growled, clearly not trusting Jess or the equine behind her, who snorted and pawed the earth in response. As Link endeavored to compose his comrade, Jess kept her distance but pulled out her Pokédex to scan the stray's stats, confirming its health was quite low (and in the process learning "it" was a "she").

Troubled that if she couldn't keep up with her brother and sisters, the little one might not receive proper care for her wounds. Feeling guilty and somewhat responsible, Jess determined to try and take it back to a Pokémon Center, but the Vulpix snapped again as she drew near, refusing to have anything to do with the human. Jess was at a loss as to what to do, as she didn't really wish to fight the poor thing anymore in this state.

Link, on the other hand, tugged at his trainer's pants leg and pointed with his tail towards her pack. Recalling the last time she had difficulty coaxing an icy critter to come to her, Jess approved of the idea and fished inside her bag for 1x Casteliacone, offering it out to the Vulpix. While her snout quivered upon sniffing the delicious treat, she still maintained a wary width between them. Thus Jess placed the snack on the snow, hoping it would convince her they meant no harm. She only snarled and started to charge at them though... Except as soon as she took one step she tripped over her feet and faceplanted nose-first into the frost, whining weakly as her stomach gave a loud rumble.

"See? You are hungry."

Jess couldn't help but chuckle as the fallen fox raised her head and glared. Link gently nudged the confection closer, and, seeming slightly less skeptical of the stranger at least, the canine consented to finally accept food from one of a similar species, eagerly devouring the dessert with gusto. As she ate, Jess surreptitiously retrieved a Snow Ball, causing the kit's ears to prick as her sharp senses immediately detected the girl's intent. Jess coolly held out the white crystalline orb, speaking frankly so as not to startle any further.

"Listen, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do. But why don't you just come with us for now, and we can get you some medical treatment? I'm sorry we were rough with you earlier, but we needed to get another little girl to a doctor. I'm not sure what it is you guys are after, but I think it'd be better if we try to understand each other so no one else gets hurt. What do you say?"


OoC - Sorry if this falls into the category of self-Updating. Wasn't sure how far I could take the story on my own without requiring too many Updates.

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!
It was hard to hear what her fellow trainers were telling their Pokémon to do over the winds and snow, but when the Snorlax shot a beam of light in the Glalie and Froslass' direction that exploded...well, she was mostly hoping Mar hadn't leaped into that just yet. At least, in the parts of her brain that weren't more focused on hunkering down and trying not to fall to the ground as it shook and threw everything into disorganized chaos.

When things settled enough for her to peek back up at the situation, the Glalie roared again and made the blizzard even worse. Looks like whatever that move was wasn't strong enough to do more than piss off the Pokémon. Which was a shame, since it decided to knock the Snorlax out with one frickin' powerful Ice Beam!

A Blastoise went after it next, but didn't exactly come off the better once it used Double Team and then Mar hit it with Ancient Power, only to get blindsided by a Confuse Ray by the Froslass that...no one had apparently spotted. Dammit. Mar ended up burying himself in his own Rock Slide instead of the two Ice-types.

Abruptly, the ground started shaking again and Melissa glanced wildly around for the source as Mar cried out. It...looked like a Swinub was the culprit, but was that one wild? No, she spotted Alice just a bit away, but, damn, they had to worry about friendly fire also?

Melissa decided to pull Mar from the front lines, at least, until the confusion wore off. "Mar, get back here and use Magnet Rise, so you won't get hit by another Ground attack. Then, Iron Defense again and Spite the Glalie."

Mar wobbled and blinked, protesting that he could handle the fight.

"No," Melissa said sharply. "You just got hit with confusion and an Earthquake; I'm pulling you back until you won't accidentally hit yourself with your own attacks."

Grumbling, he turned and did his best to make his way over to her.

There was a kind of silent chaos in Galea Town as a bevy of Smoochum looted the small family-owned businesses while the citizens of the village were knocked out cold both metaphorically and literally. As Poppy’s warning and plea for help echoed across the walkie-talkies before being put to sleep, trainers quickly hurried in the spare carriage, hoping to restore order in Galea Town.

As the second carriage pulled into the city, there was an eerie atmosphere, almost like they were in a ghost town. The trainers disembarked and made their way into the town square where they spotted a number of sleeping residents, including Poppy and Primrose, and like the gardener and heiress their arrival seemed to draw the mischievous Smoochum out of their hiding places in various storefronts.

“Smoo! Smoo!” they cried, ready to chase the newcomers out of the town, or at least let them join everyone else in slumber. However, the trainers were ready and packed with Pokemon to put a stop to the thieves. Megas the Golett was first to make an appearance, the spectral golem standing tall over the Smoochum. It kicks up a pair of Mud Slaps that covers the Smoochum in dirt as well as the scarf she had stolen. With her image ruined, Smoochum turns in anger and runs up to it, Licking the Golett. Megas shuddered, feeling a sudden chill as its joints locked up in paralysis. As Smoochum examined the now stiff opponent, she was about to leave to go clean up before Megas suddenly raised its arms and Astonished her with a quick startle.

The next Smoochum to find an opponent was a rather chubby one who had just finished robbing the grocer. As she prepared to sink her teeth into an Apicot Berry, she felt a sharp pain. Whipping around, Smoochum came face to face the small Caterpie known as Calem who had given her a painful Bug Bite, stealing her meal in the process. Calem quickly went in for a couple more Bug Bites, causing the Smoochum to squeal in pain and discomfort. Angered by the assault, she blasted Calem back with psychic energy, but the Confusion seemed to do less than expected as Calem was feeling the effects of the Apicot Berry that was eaten.

Geddy the Tynamo hovered out of his Pokeball and stares down a Smoochum of his own. Crackling with electricity, the small eel fired off a Charge Beam that knocked back the Smoochum. However, instead of retaliating with her own attack, Smoochum went up to Geddy and gave him a Sweet Kiss on the cheek. Geddy looked around confused by the turning of the other cheek before firing off another Charge Beam, slightly more powerful than the one before. Geddy then followed it up with a third blast, the strongest Charge Beam of the three hitting Smoochum for good damage before she finally retaliated with a hard-hitting Pound.

Wrapping up the town’s rescue mission was a pair of trainers who hoped to rouse the citizens from their slumber. Jess hurried over to Primrose’s aid, helping prop up the young girl’s weak body while she dreamt. As she did so, Link the Poochyena kept guard and Howled intimidatingly. Next to Jess was Mélina, who pulled out a Blue Flute and began to play a rousing melody. As the tune echoed across the town square, the song didn’t seem to be as effective as it would have on a sleeping Pokemon, but the townsfolk seemed to begin stirring in their sleep gradually. Attracted to the noise, a group of Smoochum converged on the two trainers. Link blasted a couple of Smoochums back with a Dark Pulse followed by a Shadow Ball while Mélina’s Eevee Lune returned to action to bat her Baby-Doll Eyes to lower a Smoochum’s guard and followed it up with a Bite. The Smoochums squealed in pain and retaliated with a chilling Powder Snow.

With the Smoochum’s numbers beginning to thin out as several of them fell in combat, some of the villagers had finally woken up due to the combined noise of the commotion and the flute playing. “Let’s get these pests out of here!” some of the villagers shouted while others lamented their property damage that the Smoochum had caused. A few of their Pokemon appeared, a Meowth, Lillipup, and Glameow started chasing some of the thieves away while a pair of angry older ladies used brooms. “What happened…” Poppy groggily asked as he slowly got to his feet and regained his bearings. “Young Miss! Is she okay?” he thanked the trainers for their rescue and quickly called over a local doctor. “She doesn’t look good, but it’s not too late,” he commented, examining Primrose. “Let’s hurry and get her over to my clinic.” The trainers were finally able to let out a sigh of relief as Primrose had been escorted to safety.

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, not all was rosy as the Beartic continued its march towards town. As buildings appeared on the horizon, a few trainers hurried after it to try and delay the beast further. Looking to stop the accompanying Cubchoo as well, Attila the Larvitar ran up to the one she had been fighting and Crunched down on it hard. Before Cubchoo could retaliate, Alex quickly pulled out an all-white Pokeball fittingly known as a Snow Ball and hurled it at the bear. It pulled the Cubchoo inside, vigorously shaking once… twice… three times… before coming to a complete halt with a successful “Ding!” Congratulations, Alex has captured a lv.13 male Cubchoo!

With the Beartic ignoring its opponents and continuing down its path, Khione hurried after it and smacked it in Pursuit for solid damage before attempting to trip up the large polar bear with a Low Kick. The Beartic roared in discomfort before turning to swat her away with a Super Powerful strike. Khione went flying, landing in the snowbank as her entire body reeled in pain. Beartic seemed to begin panting a little bit, but it continued its march regardless. Aya the Furret darted forward with great Agility, running up to the Beartic and bit into its flank with her Super sharp Fangs. Beartic roared in anger, turning to face the Furret and Crash a pillar of Icicles on her for great damage.

After getting up from the hard hit from earlier, Palmier the Litwick began to Calm his Mind before hoping to Astonish the Beartic with a distracting startle. However, Beartic ignored him and continued marching forward. Annoyed, Palmier blew forth a ring of Fire that Spun around the Beartic and trapped it inside. As the snow melted around it, Beartic let loose another bellowing roar of discomfort before blasting through the fire with a quick Aqua Jet, ramming into the candle Pokemon once again. Palmier fell over, defeated.

Stepping up to try and slow the beast next, Attila let loose a deafening Screech to get its attention. As Beartic glared at the Larvitar and covered its ears, Khione ran up and Punched Beartic, Powering herself Up in the process. Aya looked to get revenge next, smacking Beartic with a hard Iron Tail as Attila brought up the rear with an Iron Head. Not to be outdone, Jet’s Staraptor hit Beartic with a powerful Close Combat. Beartic roared angrily and began glowing blue once again before releasing an Avalanche of snow at the four attackers. Attila, Aya, and Jet’s Staraptor hung on, critically weakened, while Khione unfortunately succumbed to her wounds from earlier.

~~~~~~~

Beartic drew ever closer to the town as a number of lights illuminated the horizon. The townspeople had chased out most of the Smoochum and were still battling the rest while a few others had learned of the Beartic’s presence and prepared to hold it off. Their Pokemon hurried into the fray as a few Growlithe and Machop looked to intercept the Cubchoo. Beartic let out another booming roar as the sky turned dark. With the sun beginning to slip beyond the horizon, pellets of Hail began to fall from the sky. Beartic seemed to benefit from the weather effect immensely, appearing faster than ever as it Rushed through the Slush towards the town. “This is our last stand guys!” Jet called out, “We’ve gotta stop the Beartic here, or else who knows what it’ll do to the town!”


With the Smoochum and Cubchoo mostly taken care of, all that remains is the looming Beartic! Time is running out before it reaches town, so it’s now or never. If you wish to make any captures in any of the previous [Town] areas this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go! It is strongly encouraged that you attempt to take down the Beartic! The more Pokemon that gang up on it, the easier it’ll be!
Mélina’s plan totally worked. Well, maybe not as much as she wished, but it did. Although the flute wasn't as much as effective as would be on a sleeping Pokémon (perhaps it has to do with wavelengths the human ear cannot pick up), it still gradually woke up the town from its slumber. As suspected, her music caught the attention of the troublemaking Smoochum, but she ended up being more ready than she thought she was: of all people, accompanying the sick girl and the man, there was Jessica, a friend Mélina hasn’t seen in ages! She ordered her Poochyena to attack alongside Lune. Mélina wished she could tell out “Woo, teamwork!” and initiate a hi-five, but being busy playing the Blue Flute, she simply gave her a knowing glance and nod.

At some point, as the villagers went back to their senses, they immediately went out for revenge on the baby delinquents, shooing them out with Pokémon or brooms. As for the girl and man, they immediately ran to the nearest doctor, to everyone's relief. Estimating that they can take care of themselves from that point on, Mélina stopped playing her instrument, shared a smile with Jessica, then addressed to Lune, who was pulling a raspberry at the Smoochum running away.

“Wooo, awesome job my girl!” She walked up to her gave her a good scratch on her cheek. “You sure got a bite out of crime there! You deserve some rest now.”

After calling Lune back to her Pokéball, the trainer made a run (well, more of a fast walk) to the new top priority: The Beartic and Cubchoo. What she didn't know though is although the Cubchoo seemed to be handled and gone, the Beartic has gone berserk and getting dangerously close to the town! Biting her lip, worried about what destruction the arctic bear could do and wondering what she would do, she decided of throwing Soleil into the fray again.

“Soleil, I need your rays of help again!” She pleaded. “Before you do anything though… I think you better have a snack. You’re still tired from that fight against Vulpix… aren’t you?”

“Vee...” the furball sighed while slowly nodding.

“Then here, have one of these. That should be a good pick-me-up,” the trainer gave Soleil a Sweet Heart, which the Eevee chomped on carefully but hastily. After she finished eating, Mélina continued. “Seems like we need to take down that Beartic, and fast! Everyone’s after it already, but we still got to do our part!”

“Eevee!” Soleil nodded again, this time resolute.

“...Unfortunately we’re a bit of a size disadvantage, so I think we’re better play it safe by attacking mostly from afar. First, give it a Tail Whip, then hit it with a couple of Swift attacks!”

The chaotic battle was continuing everywhere. The Mega Glalie didn’t seem to be having any issue keeping up with the attacks that were coming its way. Not all of the trainers were able to focus on fighting Glalie because of the wild Pokemon that were adding to the challenge. After taking down the Vanilluxe, Jayson returns his Pokemon and brings out Odysseus the Magneton. Odysseus immediately goes after one of the nearest Cryogonal that had fallen from the sky and launches a series of Magnet Bomb’s that attach themselves to the Cryogonal’s body before promptly blowing up. Having noticed the direction that the bombs had come from, the Cryogonal now sets its sights on Odysseus and Rapidly Spins into them. While the Cryogonal was close, Odysseus hurls a second group of Magnet Bombs at the Pokemon. Once again, the bombs explode injuring the snowflake quite a bit. Now that it’s quite upset, the Cryogonal retaliates with a Night Slash which is a critical blow on Odysseus and then immediately attacks him with several Ice Shards hurting Odysseus even further. Not about to be outdone, Odysseus blasts the Cryogonal with a Flash Cannon which, due to analytic, the attack is even more powerful. The Cryogonal falls into the snow and clearly wants to continue fighting but before it has the chance, Jayson throws his pokeball and its pulled inside. The ball shakes back and forth a few times but eventually it gives that satisfying click. Congratulations, Jayson has captured a lv. 13 Cryogonal!

Nearby, after becoming enamored with the Cryogonal who had entered the fight, Keith decided to change his strategy and pulled back from Glalie in order to set his sights on one. Meowth was given the opportunity to take one of the Cryogonal on so he charged up to the nearest one that didn’t already have an opponent and clenches his fist and hits it hard with a Power-Up Punch. Because of Meowth’s ability of technician the attack seemed to land extra hard. The Cryogonal has an instant reflex and attempts to blast Meowth with a Sheer Cold wind but fortunately, Meowth moved out of the way just in the nick of time and retaliated with a dose of Punishment which was powered up by the Cryogonal’s raised attack. The Cryogonal Sharpens itself again and then launches Ice Shards at Meowth dealing a bit of damage before Meowth leaps toward it and begins to Furiously Swipe at the Cryogonal’s body. It attempts to shake Meowth off but has no such luck and is beginning to look a bit worn down. Keith sees this as an opportunity and throws his Christmas ball at the Cryogonal who immediately gets pulled into the ball which causes Meowth, who was once clinging to its body, to drop into the deep snow. The ball almost looked like it had festive snowflakes flying out of it as it pulled the Cryogonal in, but because of the blizzard it was hard to tell if that was just an illusion. The ball begins to shake and for just a moment it almost seems like it’s going to pop back out, but it doesn’t! The ball successfully clicks. Congratulations, Keith has captured a lv. 15 Cryogonal!

Also nearby was a Snorunt who had just finished putting out some flames that had managed to take hold on its scarf. But Nick the Ninetales wasn’t about to let it off that easy. While the Snorunt wasn’t paying attention, it was suddenly slammed into with Nick’s Iron Tail and sent rolling through the snow. It stands up and Leers at Nick only to see that the Ninetale’s is coming in close so it works hard to keep the distance. Nick attempts a close up Flamethrower but wasn’t close enough for the attack to stay strong so the Snorunt is only hit by a few Embers instead. This doesn’t matter though because after being on fire earlier, the Snorunt was looking worse for wear. In a final attempt to fight back, the Snorunt Bites down on Nick’s paw but is then quickly put to sleep with a Hypnosis. That is when Austin takes the opportunity to throw a pokeball which pulls the sleeping Snorunt inside. Because it was sound asleep, it wasn’t really going to put up much of a fight so the ball only wiggles once before it clicks. Congratualtions, Austin captured a lv. 12 female Snorunt!

With Morgana the Incineroar nowhere to be seen, Isaac begins to panic and frantically searches for them. Vander the Zangoose Leers at the nearby Cryogonal in hopes of intimidating them enough to stay away. As Isaac digs through snow, the Cryogonal blows an Icy Wind at Zangoose which causes the wind surrounding them to kick up as well which blows away a lot of the snow the avalanche caused. Morgana’s head is eventually exposed and although he’s completely knocked out, it seems they are going to be fine.

Tate, who felt that they were being threatened by one of the Snorunt, was quickly protected by Pahalo the Mandibuzz who intimidated the Snorunt with her Scary Face. Once the Pokemon was made aware of the Mandibuzz, it was hit full force by the Brave Bird who also took some damage herself in the process. The Snorunt kicks up some Powdery Snow with a gust of wind and hits Pahalo for a significant amount of damage. In retaliation, Pahalo dishes it back with a Steel Wing showing the Snorunt what a super effective move feels like. The Snorunt is definitely hurting now. Tate’s pokedex finishes up with explaining what a Snorunt is and then suddenly notifies Tate that this Snorunt is a female.

Glalie wasn’t finding any of this challenging, in fact, it was almost boring to him. The few Pokemon who had attacked him weren’t able to put so much as a dent into him. Thinking about that Yawn from earlier, Glalie was briefly tempted by sleep but snapped out of it once he saw Guntz smash his Iron Head into Froslass which reminded him of what that Clefable had done earlier. Froslass was in a great deal of pain from that blow and Glalie could see it. Before Glalie had a chance to retaliate, that was when things took a major change. Rorik had just finished a very important dance and Guntz was now grinning with confidence. A massive energy was being collected during that dance and now it was time to release it. The Glalie had just taken a deep inhale in preparation for some attack but ultimately never had the chance to use it because at that moment, Guntz unleashes his Bloom Doom! A large beam of light shoots out of the Snorlax and is aimed directly where Glalie and Froslass are located. Sensing the danger, Glalie quickly knocks Froslass out of the way and then the beam of light crashes directly into the place where Glalie is hovering. Suddenly there is a very bright and huge explosion that is impossible for anyone to miss; the snow that had collected on the ground where the attack hit was now flying every which way, revealing the grass below for only a brief second before that was ripped away as well, forming a crater in the ground. The surrounding trainers and Pokemon, friend or foe, struggled to keep their balance, some completely falling over while being pelted with the large amount of snow that was lifted from the ground in addition to the blizzard that was already there. Many of the smaller Pokemon were forced off their feet because they didn’t have enough weight to withstand the force of the winds coming from the attack. Everything that had been happening up to this point was completely flipped upside down due to the massive attack. Eventually, when it finally settled down, Glalie’s eyes could be seen glowing with rage. Although Froslass was not in a position to have received a direct hit, the force of the attack had thrown her very far away from Glalie. Glalie lets out a roar louder than any of the others that were heard before. The ground shakes from the sound, the storm grows even stronger, the severely Icy Winds begin to damage every single Pokemon and to make matters worse, the Hail becomes even more severe. Glalie has finally been weakened, he is no longer bored but instead he is filled with an overwhelming desire to take every single Pokemon down that opposes him, more than ever before.

Guntz attempts to heal up with Soft-Boiled but there is no way that Glalie is going to allow that to happen after what he just did. Glalie blasts the Snorlax with an Ice Beam that is so powerful from Glalie’s rage that even his thick fat doesn’t manage to protect him enough so sure enough, he goes down. Raphael the Blastoise had been pushed back several feet due to the blast but was still standing since he was heavy and had already grounded himself before it happened. Before Glalie has a chance to take his rage out on anyone else, Raphael blasts him with an Aura Sphere. The attack clearly stung and before even turning toward the source, Glalie begins to use Double Team, moving around rapidly in order to create illusions of multiple Mega Glalie’s. Raphael shoots off a Flash Cannon but the attack goes right through one of the holograms. Suddenly, the real Glalie rushes at Raphael and tries to sink his Icy Fangs into him but Raphael Counters the move, dishing back double the pain. Glalie then unleashes a Blizzard at point blank range which mixes with the storm and smashes into Raphael’s chest at full force knocking him completely off his feet and backwards into the snow so that now he is laying on his shell.

The Glalie is staring at the Blastoise with a look of bloodlust in its eyes when suddenly he is being pelted by some sort of Ancient Power coming from another direction. After increasing his Iron Defense, Mar the Aron, who was being pelted repeatedly in the head by Hail, used his attack to draw the Glalie away from Raphael. Despite his small size, his weight had prevented him from getting blown away by the explosive attack earlier and he certainly seemed ready for a fight. Froslass was tired of seeing Glalie getting ganged up on and used a Confuse Ray on Mar and suddenly Mar wasn’t feeling too great. Despite this, he was still wanting to fight so he went to use his Rock Slide on his two opponents but in his confusion, he ended up burying himself under a pile of rocks instead. Seeing the Aron use his own attack on himself caused the Glalie to feel a small sense of triumph, making him forget about having a specific target and so he went back to making the entire Blizzard stronger.

Silas the Houndoom had completely lost his opponent in the blast. He had just managed to use his Rock Smash to break out of the ice cage right before the Z-Move was launched, but hadn’t had the chance to do much else before the winds completely separated him and Sandslash. After having been tossed around, he finally finds his way back onto his feet just to be pelted by a combination of the Blizzard and the Hail, then there were the Icy Winds that weren’t making things any better. Eventually, he reunites with his trainer and the rest of the team and nearby is now the Sealeo who was badly damaged and had earlier fallen inside of the Fissure. There is no knowing exactly how it managed to get out, that powerful attack really changed things around. With Sandslash nowhere in sight, Silas decides to turn the strategy toward the Sealeo. He uses his Gummi Bomb on the Sealeo and the Sealeo’s attention is immediately grabbed so it shoots a Water Gun at Silas causing an incredible amount of damage on the Houndoom. But then, Silas calls on his friends and it’s suddenly ganged up on by not only Silas but also a Rapidash, Flareon, and Froslass who all manage to Beat it Up until it’s completely knocked out.

Maasa the Swinub had just finished raising his special defenses with Amnesia when suddenly he was completely blow away right into Alice from the blast. The Pokemon was now in his trainers arms as the two of them flew through the snow, Alice landed on something uncomfortable but didn’t have time to check before both Maasa and Alice noticed an Alolan Sandslash charging right for them. With Alice still in the snow, Maasa leaped off and used Odor Sleuth knowing that the Sandslash needed to be stopped and immediately began to use Earthquake which certainly does manage to stop it, completely. The Sandslash is now knocked out but the Earthquake also managed to hurt both Raphael and Mar who were nearby. Now that the Swinub’s adrenaline was calming down, it was starting to feel the damaging effects of being pelted by the Hail and snowy Blizzard even with being ice himself the storm was a lot to handle. That wasn’t all though, there was a muffled squealing sound coming from under Alice and when she finally stood up there was a Snorunt that she had landed on. Continuing where she had left off before being rudely thrown off her feet, she scans it with her Pokedex and it reveals that this one was indeed a male.

Both Froslass and Glalie begin to use Double Team in order to create many images of themselves all over the place. The trainers and their Pokemon almost appear to be surrounded by copies of the two. Athena has still been doing her best to lure the smaller wild Pokemon away from the other trainers with her Mawile’s Sweet Scent and has at this point begun to singlehandedly hold the majority of them off so that everyone else can focus on overwhelming the Mega Glalie and Froslass. “Keep it up everyone!! It’s angrier than ever but that’s only because we’re beating it! Don’t give up!” She shouts words of encouragement that seem to be drowned out by the sound of the storm, barely reaching anyone’s ears. The sun has also begun to set, slowly taking away the light that has aided everyone in being able to see through the thick snow and hail that is constantly blowing. With it getting darker and the weather worse than ever, the Glalie needs to be taken down soon since no person or Pokemon can withstand this type of storm for long.


Please make sure again to use 1 pokemon and up to 3 moves. If you wish to make any captures in the [Waterfall] area this is your last chance, so have a Pokeball ready to go!
Having Maasa hurled into her knocked the breath from Alice, who shrieked loudly as they flew through the air. She grunted and coughed, doubled over and on something hard (a rock or something?); the trainer struggling to regain her footing as her own Pokemon oinked with concern.

"Oh-- oh shit, Maasa, get it!" Alice cried, looking over at the advancing Sandslash. Her starter wasted no time in dealing with it, albeit at the expense of two others. Oops. "Sorry! Our bad, we panicked!" The trainer called awkwardly, still attempting to get up. Said attempt was made a lot faster when whatever was underneath began speaking, Alice freaking out more. It was a Snorunt, and a male, too. Bad timing, though.

"... We're actually gonna die up here, I swear." Alice acknowledged miserably, heart lurching as countless copies of Glalie and Frosslass surrounded them. They could hardly leave the Snorunt be, though, for their own convenience nor for the potential damage it could cause. "Okay, boy, let's make this quick! Use your mud bomb, mud shot and bite on this Snorunt! Weaken him fast!" She commanded, her Swinub going straight for the opponent as ordered. Alice took out a Poke Ball, ready to throw it the moment that there was an opening and the enemy was weak enough to do so (string of attacks completed or not).

Tate looked around at the chaos. There was a Glalie and a Froslass, barely visible through the heavy snowfall. Braver trainers were trying to head them off, but Tate wasn't about to get involved in that nonsense. Still others were... catching Pokemon? Well, that wasn't unreasonable -- it was what trainers did, after all. Tate considered this, peering out over the edge of the boulder behind which the cowardly Johto native had hid. With Pahalo having soundly roughed it up, the Snorunt no longer seemed all that menacing. In fact, it just sort of... looked sad, and injured.

"Pahalo, that's enough!" Tate called, emerging from the divet in the snow that had been a hiding place. Pahalo looked miffed -- is this not what she was meant to do? Protect the human to which she 'belonged'? (A misnomer; the only ones to whom she belonged were Lunala and, arguably, Kauka.) As her trainer stumbled upon them -- her and the Snorunt -- she made her displeasure known by taking to an iced-over tree branch to roost.

"Hey, so... I'm going to catch you now," Tate informed the Snorunt, somewhat blandly. "I guess you probably like this weather, but for the rest of us it sucks, and I'm starting to think you and your friends are causing it, so... yeah. But it'd be really cruel to just leave you out here to die, which is probably what's going to happen to some of the others..."

Tate stared at the Snorunt for a long moment, letting the unintentionally macabre words hang there in the air as every effort was made to fish a Poke Ball out of the side pouch of the weight backpack which belonged to the trainer. Finally finding one, Tate lobbed it at the Snorunt.

Pahalo, deciding she would rather be useful than engage in her trainer's stupidity, set her sights on the Glalie and Frosslass -- or rather, on their innumerable doppelgangers. Annoyed by the cheap trick, the Mandibuzz took flight in the bitter snow, against all odds, and opened her massive jaws, a pulse of pure darkness pouring out from somewhere deep inside the Dark-type, aimed for the 'many' Froslass. When the dust settled, she dove in, using her best discernment to hopefully pinpoint the actual Froslass, ready to strike with steel-like wings.
