Cerby's Platoon



Your Update
 

Nothing had paused it's march. Anything you attacked in a square from last turn is now dragging you forward one square.

Light Screen (3/5)
Sunny Day (2/5)
Aqua Ring (3/5)
Magnet Rise (Ground Immunity) (3/5)

Red Tank Locks onto direction of flash. It has a 25% chance of hitting the missile in low fog and not being able to detect a heat signature. Successful. Spires recharge 1 PP.

Cryogonal at H1 has moved forward to G1. Crobat (M4) returns safely.
Nothing at G3. Crobat (M7) returns safely.
Sneasel (M4, M7) - Hone Claws (Atk +1, Acc +1)
Lanturn M4 Confuses the Mole (I assume this is what confuse ray does. I'm not looking it up. Down 1 PP
Lanturn (M7) uses Hyrdo pump at the Mole. Down 1 PP
Excadrill is confused. It hurts itself it its confusion. Loses 1 HP and 1 PP.
Delphi down 1 PP
Epona (Flash fire activated.) Fire type moves will now take out two blocks of HP unless otherwise stated. Attacks Excadrill. Move is super effective an boosted. Takes out 4 HP from the Mole.
2 Venusaurs with Sunnyday boosted Solarbeam = 2 HP blocks down for the mole...each. The Mole dies before it can retaliate. The grass types are down 1 PP each.
The Zebstrika in I3 have moved forward to H3. The Hypnos catch up to them then, but because they did not anticipate the change in the location, the Zebstrika attack first with Flame Charge. Hypnos go down 2 HP Each before using Psyshock. The Psychic Field of energy slams into the front lines and stops this group of Zebstrika and all behind it from moving forward. The Zebstrika lose 1 HP each.
Gyarados does not attack at all, target already eliminated.
Tropius encounters troops at H1 instead of I1. She is seen on her return trip and the Zebstrika immobilize her with Thunderwave.
Kirlia senses a Bravairy flying somewhere in H6 before teleporting back to safety. Kirlia down 1 PP.
Cryogonal at H1 is now at G1. Machamps attacks miss. The Bravairy flying above that square attacks with Aerial Ace. The attack is divided between the two of them. They are both down 1 HP.
The 2 Zangoose do not get to I4 or I5. The troops there have moved to H4 and H5. The Zebstrika attack them first but their attacks missed due to the heavy fog. The Zangoose at H4 uses Crush Claw and reduces 1 Zebstrika by 4 HP befHore fleeing back to the platoon. The Zangoose at H5 uses Close Combat one 1 Zebstrika, landing a critical hit and killing the beast.
Cody's pokemon show up too late to assist in destroying the Excadrill. They lose 1PP each for the trip.

AND! Before I forget...Frac's Trap at H5 does whatever it does....collapses or something. The remaining Zebstrika at that platoon die.

"Cheer up," Jerome said, giving Egrinain a consoling hug around the legs. "We can do this, right?"

Egrianin gave a wry smile. "Wish I shared your confidence," she replied, looking out at the grey, featureless fog ahead of them. "Ma'am?" she asked, looking at Cerby. "Any particular strategy in mind?"

--------------

[ooc] Suggesting we move our platoon up to the left Spire and get ready to defend it.[/ooc]

Cerb fidgeted nervously on top of Epona. She would have much preferred to still be milling around with Steely, but then the military had decided to be Efficient and split them all into platoons. That was okay, she guessed.

But her, a leader? Either Floyd was more confident in her abilities than she was, or he was high on the fog. Cerb wouldn't have counted the latter option out at this point. Now she was stuck with Jance, some chick she'd never met before, and a handful of other OME soldiers. This could be bearable, she supposed. As long as Jance didn't press her because they were the same rank.

And oop chick she didn't know addressing her. Cerb glanced down from her perch on Epona's back, twitching at the use of 'ma'am'. "First, don't call me that. It makes me sound old," she mumbled. "Just call me Cerb. It's a lot shorter to scream than lieutenant." The Pikachu sitting on Epona's head chittered agreement.

"As for strategy, um... I was thinking more along the lines of quick introductions first." Cerb looked rather pointedly down at Egrinain. "Since I don't know who you are. After that, divvying up those army men back there; aaaand then boosting everything we can boost." Finished that mouthful of a sentence, the teen sat back and whuffed. They should probably consider moving position at some point, although she rather liked their niche. Covered to the side, a pod on the other side for quick healing, and a tank in front of them for shooting. As long as they could remain between a pod and a tank, though, she figured that would be okay.

--

To correct your wonderful table, Kyo, Cerb's not using a rifle. She hatehates guns.

I'm thinking splitting up Ye Olde Army Men among us just to make commanding them a little more sane. Since there's two each, Cerb could take the Red, Jance the Green, and Eggy the Blue (because I naturally attribute the colors to the branches of the OME, of which Red is Army and Green is Airforce). If Jance is slow, it won't be too hard for one of us to temporarily gank her menz.

I'm also not opposed to moving, but I would prefer that we keep something at our sides and back so we only have to deal with one front of opposition.

Elizabeth hovered above things for a moment staring out at the growing fog. Well this was no good, they couldn't see a thing. She gave Ayla a nudge and the tropius drifted back to the earth coming to rest alongside those of her platoon. The young trainer was donned in a light camo suit and had strung across her back a rifle. At her hip was her hand gun and in a sheath on her calf her combat knife. Liz rode Ayla closer to their commanding officer and saluted. Cerby need not worry about the two butting heads. The lieutenant didn't question their general's orders. This was Cerby's command and Liz was there to assist as needed.

"Lieutenant Cerby I presume? Lieutenant Liz Waters at your service." She greeted her comrade in arms and nodded to Erginain. Things were tense and their young commander seemed a bit flustered. Liz absently stroked Ayla's slender neck as she gazed out over the battle field. Things did seem bleak. But they couldn't think on that now, they had to focus on survival and maybe they'd come out of this alive.
For reference Liz's equipment includes, rifle, semi-automatic hand gun, combat knife and camo suit.

Divvying up works for me

Egrinain gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry," she said, "I... have next to no experience with the military." She absentmindedly gave Amalthea a stroke on the flank as the Ponyta trotted up to her, flanks quivering as she shook her legs and got limbered up. Twig sat on Amalthea's back, antennae twitching as he tried to pick up anything in the fog that he could.

"Guess we just wait for them to make the first move, huh?"

--------------

Okay, proposed move for my section:

My actions:
Amalthea uses Agility twice
Twig uses foresight once to see if he can pick anything up

Blue Army Men:
Sneasel uses Hone Claws twice
Lanturn uses Aqua Ring, then Stockpile twice (if it can)
Crobat mills around

Right, just shoot her in the face with something. "It's Cerb," the teen mumbled tiredly, looking over as a Tropius came down on the other side of Epona. The Arcanine tilted her head to look this newcomer over with curiosity, having seen few flying trees up close before. Usually when they were this close, she was trying to kill or otherwise maim them. "And I know who you are, Liz. Let's leave off the titles for now, okay? They kind of waste breath when we need to keep things brief."

In the spirit of keeping things brief and doing something, Cerb pulled her last Pokeball off her belt and tripped it onto the muck. Delphi spilled out, taking a moment to get her bearings before giving a large twitch that started at her head and vibrated all the way down to her tail. Hoooo-eee, I have never wanted to be anywhere else more badly than right now man.

"I know, Delphi. Believe me, I know." The teen paused when she felt Epona quiver beneath her, the Arcanine taking some cues from the Ponyta that just trotted up. Cerb patted her fluffy mane in approval. "Just prepare to slice some stuff, hunh? And Sparky, we could use a screen," the teen added to her Pikachu. Sparky chittered and twitched his tail, a beautiful pink glitter beginning to spread over Epona's head.

"As for you guys back there, boost up," she called back to the OME soldiers. "Liz, I think I'll handle the red ones, and you take the green ones. The blue ones can go to... you," she gestured a bit helplessly at Egrinain, since the girl had yet to say her name and Cerb was no mind reader. She preferred to leave that to actual psychic Pokemon.

--

Me:
Sparky - Light Screen
Delphi - Swords Dance x2
Epona - Agility x2

Red Men:
Magneton - Magnet Rise
Hypno - Nasty Plot x2
Venusaur - Growth x2

If we get this all sorted today, I'll plop all our actions in Mav's main thread. :D

"Right." Liz signaled to the two men in green uniforms. She followed up with releasing the remainder of her pokémon companions. Levin appeared first alighting behind Liz on the tropius's back. Ayla turned to peer down at the psychic who inclined his head to his teammate. After him rose the enormous serpentine body of Drago. The gyarados released a roar and glowered down at those on the ground. Liz smirked a little at the beast's show.

"Levin, mind keeping us all in contact?" She poised the question to the kirlia who bowed in response.

"Of course, m'lady. I assume you wish us to take preemptive action?" He inquired though was already in the process of calming his mind to tighten his focus.

"That would leave me to dancing. It would be easier if you dismounted Liz." Ayla's were translated through Levin. Liz nodded and slid from the tropius's back while she sprang into the air twisting gracefully in her dragon dance.

"Bah, where's the enemy? I hate this waiting." Drago grumbled. His dance was not so showy as the tropius, in fact he didn't even move, light and air simply seemed to surround him. He slammed his tail on the ground impatiently, fierce gaze glaring at the fog.

"Now is hardly the time for impatience Drago. There'll be plenty to fight, trust me." Liz chided the dragon who continued to scowl. She gave the same instructions to those entrusted to her command. Now to wait for further instructions.
Liz:
Ayla (Tropius) - Dragon Dance + Growth [+2 Atk, +1 Spd, +1 SpAtk]
Drago (Gyarados) - Dragon Dance x2 [+2 Atk, +2 Spd]
Levin (Kirlia) - Calm Mind + Double Team [+1 SpAtk, +1 SpDef, +1 Eva]

Green Men:
Rhydon - Standing By
Machamp - Focus Energy [Increase Critical Hit Rate]
Zangoose - Swords Dance x2 [+4 Atk]

Yup, I have henceforth splattered our actions in the main thread. I don't think I want us to move this turn just yet, not without having some idea of what the enemy position is like first. Depending on what our PP and whatnot looks like next turn, I'll decide whether we head for the spire or a pod for a quick pick-me-up.

--

And so all was boosted, and life was good. Cerb checked to make sure that all the OME soldiers were taking their orders properly, and then shifted around on Epona's back in vain attempts to see through the thick fog. She'd traveled through this valley dozens of times now, but it still frustrated the hell out of her. That HM, Defog... she really needed to look into getting that thing. Like, right after swimming.

"We're all doin' good, right?" She asked, looking up from the looming Gyarados down to the tiny Venonat. "If you think your Pokemon need a refresher, we can head over to that pod next to us quick if the enemy isn't breathing down our neck already." Hopefully they weren't, because that would make defending the spire that much harder.

They were supposed to defeat those large ice Pokemon that were shielding the enemy first... Intelligence called them Cryogonal. Cerb remembered them from the battle in Brightopolis. Celeste had first thought they were acting as shields, the teen recalled... Well, leave it to the redhead to be right on the money. Cerb figured the other girl would be all right with Steely looming over her. Only dumb people would pick a fight with that platoon.

"I wonder if we can capture the enemy Pokemon," she mumbled to herself. Delphi snorted and looked up to see her thoughtful expression. "I mean, I can't remember. Do they even use Pokeballs?"

You just want one of those giant snowflake things, don't you? The Absol accused.

Cerb reddened mildly, thankful for the fog. "All in the name of research, Delphi. Clearly they have excellent shielding capabilities."

Pff. Look, you, just sit there and let your flaming bullet dog melt 'em before they blizzard half our grass types to death. Delphi sniffed and plopped on her rear, staring out into the fog as Epona huffed in indignation. She was not a 'flaming bullet dog'.

"Any idea how far away they are?" Jerome asked as the Platoon waited, staring into the opaque mist.

"Probably still a long way off" Egrinain replied. "I can't imagine they'd be able to sneak too close to us, even with their heat shielding..."

The deafening crack of a cannon shell rolled over their heads, causing everyone to flinch (and in Egrinain's case, dive for the ground).

"What the hell was that?!" Egrinain yelled, adrenaline coursing through her system.

"Cannon fire, ma'am," one of the soldiers supplied. "One of our tanks. Looks like the battle's started."

"Start...? We don't even know where they are!" Egrinain got to her feet, brushing the dew off her skirt. "OME Lady! Cerby!" Egrinain waved through the fog, trying to get the Platoon commander's attention. "We're running blind here! We need the Crobats to do a fast scout ahead, so we know what's coming!

--------------

[ooc] Suggesting we move up to C2, and we radio the tank to shift it left to C1, and also sending out the Crobats to scout - first one to E2, second one to E3 (since we've already established there's nothing in the path of the orange tank... >_> [/ooc]

Cerb flinched when a tank nearby fired, covering her ears at the thunderous noise. Barely a minute later, a missile returned fire and splattered into the shield generated by the spires. Well, that was terrific. "I have the feeling this is going to go badly," she mumbled to Epona and Sparky. The Pikachu laid his ears back as the Arcanine whined and pranced on her paws. Cerb let her, since she figured speed would allow Epona to move at the most of her ease.

You're being hailed, OME lady, Delphi observed wryly. The sound of Cerb facepalming may or may not have been heard through the fog.

"I gathered from the yelling, thank you." Sighing, Cerb nudged Epona to get the dog to turn partway so she could get a better look at all her troops. "The Crobats are under your command, aren't they? Direct them however you want. Although on that note, Liz," her attention shifted to the other lieutenant in their party, "Perhaps you could send your Tropius out as well? We should probably sweep the areas directly in front of us. I'm thinking about moving forward with the others so we don't hold anybody up." Her face was twisted in a grim line as she said it. Cerb hated being in the front.

Looking around at the assembled Pokemon, another thought occured to her very briefly. In the last battle, it seemed like the enemy Pokemon preferred rain, while their Pokemon benefited from the sun. "Does anyone here know sunny day?" She asked curiously, while glancing sideways at Sparky. It wasn't the rat's fault that he only benefited from rain dance, but it wasn't exactly helpful here either. "Because if you do, we could really use it set up. Like, now.

"And if you need to boost again, get boosting. I'll radio the tank before we start moving."


--

What's under your command is under your command. I'll approve pretty much everything you suggest, I think; as long as it isn't suicidal or stupid. >>;

As for my lot, we're doing a little more boosting.

Delphi - Swords Dance (Atk +2)
Epona - Agility (Spd +2)

Hypno - Nasty Plot (Sp. Atk +2)
Venusaur - Growth (Atk +2, Sp. Atk +2)

And if anybody here knows Sunny Day (I haven't checked in depth)... for the love of god, please set it up. D:

To finalise and clarify my moves:

Blue Army Guys:
Crobat #1 goes to E1,
Crobat #2 goes to E3

Egrinain: nothing at this stage, beyond suggesting we tell the tank to shift to C1, and we move up to C2

"Ground units! Sappers, going for the pylons!" one of the soldiers yelled out.

"Who's countering?" Another replied

"Signe's Platoon, they're moving up now!"

"What's the plan?"

"Support," Egrinain replied, an oddly calm look on her face. "This is... this is like any other pokemon battle, just with higher stakes" No kidding, she added to herself. "Signe's taking care of that mole thing - We can send some support his way, but most of the platoon should hang back. Lanturns," Egrinain turned to the two electric fish under her direction. "You, Confuse Ray the moment the thing comes into range. You, Hydro Pump - I don't care how powerful it is, it's still a ground type. Crobats! Scout again, further ahead this time - we want to know exactly how far away the enemy is. And on that note... Cerby! We need to move up and defend that tank! I'll bet anything you like the enemy will try to take them out first." Egrinain winced as a missle impacted on the energy shield, a bright flash of light pulsing out from the impact point. "Heh, those Vanishing Point bunch really know their stuff, don't they? Alright you lot, move!"

--------------

Suggesting we move up to the Tank's Square (I'm just full of ideas, aren't I? >_< )


Lanturn (M4, M7) - Aqua Ring (2/5)
Magneton (M6, M9) - Magnet Rise (Ground Immunity) (2/5)

Blue Army Men
Crobat (M4) scouts G1
Crobat (M7) scouts G3
Sneasel (M4, M7) - Hone Claws (Atk +1, Acc +1)
Lanturn (M4) - Attacks Excadrill in E1 with Confuse Ray

Cerb listened to Egrinain rambling away in the background giving orders while she sat on Epona and tried to make sense of the noises filtering into her ear and from around her other sides. Lexx was somewhere ahead of them, being attacked by a giant metal mole. She didn't see much backup coming from the people next to them to aid the dragonfly.

"We're not going anywhere," she said, sliding off Epona's back and hearing the mud squish beneath her boots as she landed. The Arcanine whined softly, feeling a burst of warm sunshine hit her back as an artificial sun burst to life above them. "Now we've got sun support, and it's only good for here; and I'm not gonna make Ben run around keeping us supplied with sunshine. Delphi, light her up," Cerb gestured to Epona as Sparky jumped off the dog's head and landed on his trainer's shoulder. He knew what that command meant.

Aye aye captain! Delphi burped a stream of flame at Epona. The fire washed over the dog's fur and sluffed off, leaving behind a bright spark and glow.

"Epona, go get that mole. Just stay out of the way of the Lanturn and come back here." The teen watched the dog streak off into the fog towards her target, her fur still shining luminously. "Venusaurs, at the ready. Solarbeams if they don't finish off that mole."

What about the rest of the lot? Delphi chirped, jerking her head towards the green guys. Cerb frowned and turned her gaze back out into the field again, even though she couldn't see for shit out there. She could hear things over the radio though, and the roaring and stomping and god knew what else happening out on the plain.

"Um. It sounds like the guys in the front are hitting some action," she said finally, looking back and giving the Rhydons an appraising glance. "I bet they've got those zebra things again. We should send the Rhydon in to flatten them out. Maybe the Hypno too - hypnosis is always helpful."

--

Let's see if we can get this wrapped up by tomorrow without Jance, since it seems she's fallen off the radar. Stuff so far:

Sunny Day (2/5)
Lanturn (M4, M7) - Aqua Ring (2/5)
Magneton (M6, M9) - Magnet Rise (Ground Immunity) (2/5)

Blue Army Men
Crobat (M4) scouts G1
Crobat (M7) scouts G3
Sneasel (M4, M7) - Hone Claws (Atk +1, Acc +1)
Lanturn (M4) - Attacks Excadrill in D1 with Confuse Ray
Lanturn (M7) - Attacks Excadrill in D1 with Hydro Pump

Cerby
Delphi uses Flamethrower on Epona (activates Flash Fire [Flash Fire powers up Fire-type moves if hit by fire. This Ability makes the user immune to Fire-type damage and when hit by a Fire-type move, Flash Fire will be activated. While subsequent hits by Fire-type moves will not provide a further increase in the damage of Fire-type attacks, it will still not take any damage. This Ability is not activated by the burned status unless it is caused by a move which is Fire-type. Flash Fire is not active while the user is frozen.])
Epona attacks Excadrill in D1 with Heatwave and boomerangs back.

Red Army Men
Venusaurs use Solarbeam on Excadrill in D1 if it's still kickin'.
Hypnos attack Zebstrika(s???) in I3 with Psyshock.

Green Army Men
Rhydons attack Zebstrika(s???) in I3 with Drill Run.

Liz grunted as she brought her rifle around ready to start firing on any approaching humaniod enemies. It was still hard to see anything ahead of them though that mole creature was pretty visible. Where it had come from was anyone's guess, but one thing was for sure, it had to go down. But it seemed the others had that in hand, for the moment.

"Drago, see if they need backup with that mole creature. Ayla and Levin, move ahead and see what you can find in this fog." She instructed her teammates who nodded and headed off to fulfill their orders.

She motioned to those dressed in green. "Send those Machamp after that crystal thing! Be nice to be able to actually see something other than fog." She grumbled the last bit to herself. "Oh and Zangoose, see what's going on in that section there where some troops were spotted, attack whatever you find there."
(Sorry, am having to play catch up here. Have been out of town for the last week, visiting grandmother in the hospital, so am not sure what all's going on. Sorry for the delay.)

Liz
Drago (Gyarados) - Attacking Exadrill in D1 using Aqua Tail [+1 Atk, +1 Spd]
Ayla (Tropius) - Scouting I1
Levin (Kirlia) - Scouting I6

Green Army Men
Machamps - Attacking Cyrogonal at H1 using Cross Chop [Critical Hit +1]
Zangoose - Attacking I4 using Crush Claw
Zangoose - Attacking I5 using Close Combat

0.2 :gexp2 Popping in since Mav told me to.

The General had given his approval, but told me to radio the platoon that's currently trying to rescue Lexx. I figured that would be fair, since I'm sure that they won't be happy to see a Charmander and a Zigzagoon not of their own suddenly make their appearance and attack. I tuned my comm to their frequency. "Lieutenant Cerby, this is Private First Class Cody Laoidhach. I have asked the General if I can send in help your way, and he has given his approval. I'm sending over my Charmander and Zigzagoon to attack that...um...mole. Start expecting them to show up soon."

With that, I nodded to Aurel, who nodded back. I rolled down the window of my driver seat so that he could hop out. I took out another Pokeball and emptied its contents on the mucky ground. A Zigzagoon eagerly leaped out only to find mud on his feet. He started to make unhappy noises and looked up at me. "Sorry Scout, we have an emergency going on." While that's not true exactly, it served the purpose of making Scout stop his whining. With his curiosity piqued, I continued, "One of our allies is under attack. I want you to go with Aurel and use Pin Missile on his target. Got it?"

When he nodded his affirmative, I gave them both one more look before withdrawing my head into the M12. "Go," was the only word that they heard before the window was rolled up. With that, the two dashed off to assist those in taking down the Excadrill.
I know that I posted this somewhere, but...
Aurel goes to D1 and uses Flamethrower on Excadrill (30% chance of burning)
Scout goes to D1 and uses Pin Missile on said Excadrill (attacks 2-5 times)

The fur was flying now, so to speak. Liz grimaced as she watched Ayla go down in enemy territory. But they had bigger problems than her teammate. Another mole had broken through their line and had been joined by one of the ugliest toad like creatures she'd ever seen.

"Drago! Levin! Help them out with those two. Aqua Tail for the mole thing and Magical Leaf on that toad." Off the psychic and dragon went hurrying to their comrade's aid. Now for Ayla.

"M5, send out your Rhydon to assist Ayla. Both of you, let's try to take out that snowflake once again. Machamp should handle that. M5 send Zangoose to see what's heading for the platoons on our right. M8 see if your Rhydon can stop whatever's coming up the middle and send Zangoose to cover directly ahead." Orders had been given and those dressed in green moved as instructed. There wasn't much the humans could do at the moment unless they moved from under the cover of the tower. Liz noted their civilian member was more than ready to enter the fray but Cerby it seemed wanted to play things safe. She could understand her fellow officer's desire, but it wasn't exactly safe anywhere.

"Cryogonal on left flank asleep! Repeat, Cryogonal on left flank is asleep!"

"Alright," Egrinain said, turning to Amalthea "That's your cue. We need that thing down, and we need it down fast. Cerby!" Egrinain called out. "Get Delphi to give Amalthea a fire boost as she goes past, will you? Now Twig, you're on defence - get to that ETHER pod and give the toad a dose of sleep powder."

"On it!" Twig chirped as Amalthea tore off into the mist at blinding speed.

"Anything I can do?" Jerome asked.

"Not yet" Egrinain replied. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be needed before this is over."

"Who's in charge of who here," Cerb mumbled to herself as she waited for Epona to return from her trip. The big dog came bounding out of the fog soon enough, mud-spattered but entirely successful in her mission. Cerb gave her too-warm fur a quick scruff before bounding up on her back to look around for a marginally better view. The rest of her platoon was already splitting to pick their targets. That was fine with Cerb, but as long as there was sun to be had she was going to stay right where she was.

"Venusaurs, solarbeams. Go for the frog near the pod," she instructed, and then turned away so as not to be blinded by concentrated sunshine. Her eyes were bad enough already, thanks. "Magnetons to bomb the Cryogonal."

Delphi helpfully burped some embers as the little fire horse came rocketing by, since she was just happy she got to stay in the safe zone. Cerb was still thinking from her post a-doggyback. "We'll probably move over once this sunshine ends... presuming we have no more problems. Oops, I think I see a problem," AKA incoming missiles oshit. "Red tank, get on that!"

Egrinain could scarcely believe what she was seeing. The mists has thinned for a brief moment, and there, looming up above the battlefield was the Jgsei fortress, a towering sillhouette in the background.

"Sweet mother of..." Egrinain took a step back, feeling slightly faint. They were fighting something like that?

Then, the scream of fighter jets pierced the air, and a series of rapid flashes lit up the vague form of the fortress. There was a rumbling boom, a shudder that ran through the ground, and the fortress tilted to the right. Seconds later, the message came through from the general himself - the fortress had been crippled. The enemy position was wide open. The time to strike was now.

"Alright!" Egrinain called out, functioning mostly on adrenaline by this point, "Concentrate everything we've got on that fortress! Let's see them climb out of the valley with half their legs gone!"

Egrinain's division went on the attack, focusing everything they had on the fortress - if they could break that one linchpin, the entire Jgsei force would crumble. This battle would end with the fortress in ruins.

With one missile still coming, Cerb had been expecting it to crash into the spires' shield and harmlessly blow up. Not slam into the tank some idiot had moved out of safety. Not kill half a dozen individuals in the span of seconds.

But she couldn't see that right now. Her face was pressed into Epona's mane for a moment, inhaling the hot, muddy smell of nervous dog as the Arcanine whined and fidgeted in place while Sparky tried to knot her ears together. Eventually Cerb sat back up and took a deep breath, poking the Pikachu in the stomach to get him to stop annoying their ride. "Something good better still come out of this."

And then lo and behold, there was a glimpse of the Fortress through the fog. Cerb slowly raised an eyebrow, looking at the looming shape as it was divebombed by jets from somewhere. She was familiar with this thing already from the BoB and peeping at it from a back alleyway. She was more surprised with the fact that Floyd had managed to summon jets. Maybe their national budget had expanded somewhat recently. "Well, that counts as 'good' I suppose." Epona whuffed agreement.

Delphi was twitching down on the ground, her tail flickflickflicking back and forth. Can we is kill the fortress, can we hunh can we,

The Arcanine whiiiined her disapproval of this plan, but Cerb slid off her back anyway. "Since everyone else is, why not. Make sure you stay in the gaps and watch out for the Rhydons. Delphi, you're on blender of death mode - " The Absol squealed and ran off, and Cerb couldn't see her in the fog anymore after a second. "...and, uh. You two do whatever you want. Same precautions though." She slapped the Arcanine on the flank and stepped back, watching Epona canter off into the mist with a Pikachu still on her head. He would probably jump off and join Raider in adding to those nasty flashes of lightning she briefly saw flying around in the air down there.

"The rest of you also go for that fortress. Don't get in the way of the others though!"

The massive head of the fortress swept down, the shadow it cast giving the squad barely enough time to scramble out of reach. Amalthea gave a high-pitched whinny of fear, rearing back on her legs as the flames around her sputtered out.

"Pull yourself together!" one of the Sneasel's snapped at her. "Arceus, you're a liability!" Leaving Amalthea behind, the Sneasel took a running jump, leaping onto the joint of the fortress' leg and ramming a claw into the exposed internals.

Amalthea hung her head, ears pressed against her neck. He was right - she wasn't being any help here. Sure, Egrinain had faith in her, but she was the only one. Amalthea wasn't strong, she wasn't resilient, she could barely make an attack without flinching; but then, what could you expect from a runt?

* * * * *

"I don't care how unfair you think it is, I can't have a runt like that taking up valubale space and food!"

"Daddy!" the breeder's daughter said, horrified. "How can you be so cruel?"

"It's not cruel, it's business," the breeder replied. Amalthea couldn't see them from her stall, but she could hear every word - and her head was sinking down lower and lower with every sentence. "Look, I'm a professional racing breeder. My job is to breed fast, strong Ponytas into fast, strong Rapidash. We've given the runt a chance, but she isn't bulking up or gaining any stamina. There's no way she'll become a pedigree racer, and that means she has to go. I'm taking her to the adoption center on Saturday, and that's that."

"But if you just gave her a chance-" the daughter began.

"I've given her a chance! She doesn't have what it takes, and there's nothing that'll change that!"


* * * * *

There was a screeching groan as the rear leg of the fortress buckled under its own weight, sending the massive machine into a dangerous lean. A cheer rose from the attacking pokemon as the slapped each other on the back or clapped their fins together. They'd done it! The battle was won!

"Emergency!" came a voice on the radio. "Everyone, get out of there! That thing's nuclear, and it's gonna blow any second! Retreat! All platoons retreat! Get out of the valley!"

"You heard him!" one of the Crobats said, swooping past the troops. "Run for the hills!" The assembled forces turned tail, stampeding their way back up the valley towards the main force, pushing their way through the Jgsei forces that were now in disarray. Amalthea joined them, staring to pick up speed, before a cry stopped her in her tracks. Looking behind her, she saw that the Sneasel was still there - his claw had become stuck in some cabling and he couldn't get free.

"Hold on!" Amalthea called out, turning back towards the fortress.

"No, get out of here!" the Sneasel called. "There's nothing you can do, save yourself!"

"I might be weak," Amalthea replied, coming up to the foot of the fortress, "but I'm still a Ponyta." Stamping her hooves into the damp grass, Amalthea flared her mane. "You know any ice moves?"

"Of course I know ice moves, I'm a bloody ice pokemon!" the Sneasel snapped back.

"Freeze the metal around your hand!" Amalthea called. Not looking very reassured, the Sneasel did so.

"Now hold on!" Amalthea called, taking a deep breath and letting loose a plume of fire that struck the metal skin of the fortress. The frozen metal buckled under the sudden thermal shock, warping the internals just enough to let the Sneasel pull his claw loose and drop down.

"Thanks!" he said, massaging his wrist. "Now let's get go- woah, what are you doing!" The Sneasel struggled as Amalthea picked up up by the scruff of his neck and deposited him on her back. "WAAAAH- oh hey, these flames aren't hot. Hang on what are doing?"

"We're too far behind the others" Amalthea replied. "I can run faster than you can."

"Well that's very nice of you bit I don't think that's completely neccessAAARRYYY!!..."

Amalthea broke into a run, powering across the marshlands as an ominous rumbling roar started to come from the west. The Jgsei forces were in no position to block their progress, and Amalthea sidestepped them without loosing pace. Soon, they had caught up to the retreating forces. Behind them, the Fortress swung its head from side to side, letting out a roar as it was left stranded in the mist.

* * * * *

"Come on, we need to get out of here!" the soldiers called.

"Where are the pokemon?" Egrinain asked, getting panicky. "Where's Amalthea?"

"Over there!" Jerome called out, pointing a fin. A vague mass of shapes were beginning to appear out of the mist - their forces had made it back. And there, pulling out in front of the pack, Amalthea was carrying one of the Sneasel on her back.

"Woohoo, look at her go!" Jerome shouted, letting out a whoop and jumping up in the air.

"Alright, everyone get their pokemon in their pokeballs and run for it!" on of the soldiers called, the chain of command rapidly going out the window as the OME forces went into full retreat.

"Hey there!" one of the soldiers called out as Egrinain's pokemon gathered round her. "Sneasel says thanks for the rescue!"

Amalthea let out a cheerful whinny, tossing her head in response.

"So, got to be a hero, did we?" Egrinain asked with a smile as she withdrew Twig into his pokeball. "Alright, let's get out here before that thing turns this whole battlefield into a crater!

"Holy shit." Liz cursed as the world exploded nearby. She didn't know who'd been in that platoon but it was still painful to watch. She gritted her teeth and turned to see the fog lifting and the massive war machine emerge from the cloud. Damn, not that thing again.

However, it seemed this was the biggest threat their foes had to offer. If they could get that blasted tank down, they'd stop the Jgsei in their tracks. A few platoons seem to have a coordinated attack plan, others were just throwing attacks at the weakest points on the tank.

"Everything's coming to a head, get in there and do some damage." She called out to her teammates. Here goes nothing...

And suddenly there was call to retreat, causing everyone to stop in their tracks. "Retreat?" Liz muttered to herself as she glanced toward the general's last known location. Word finally reached them and the girl's eyes went wide while another curse escaped her lips. "Ayla!"

The earth began to tremble, then shudder, until the ground began to crack beneath them. She only had a second to gap in surprise at the sudden change in the world's stability before Ayla rushed her and lifted them both into the air. From here she could see their troops frantically racing away from the monstrosity in the middle of the valley. What exactly where they supposed to do about the probable nuclear explosion coming?

"Milady, there is a flood coming." Levin stated calmly as he appeared alongside the tropius watching the goings on below.

"Wha- a flood?!" What on earth was going on? Where was a flood supposed to be coming from and who was responsible for it? The kirlia blinked at the stunned expression on his trainer's face.

"The ocean milady. It seems the Elite four are behind it. That is what is causing the earthquake." He explained a little surprised she didn't know already. Liz continued to stare at him then shook her head. They'd figure it out later, for the moment she and her team were safe, though others were still fleeing toward higher ground. Liz suddenly remembered they couldn't all fly. Drago watched the humans and smaller pokémon run past him as though bemused by their panic.

"Drago! Try to help get people to higher ground! If the water hits before everyone's out, do what you can to help anyone caught in the rush!" The gyarados glanced up at his trainer begrudgingly but did as instructed, picking up the men in green who'd been fighting with them earlier. The gyarados moved best in water but he was still a pretty fast mover on land too. And if the water did hit, he should be able to handle the powerful waves without too much difficulty while providing passage to those who needed it. "Levin can you teleport anyone who's being left behind to safety?"

"Certainly." The kirlia vanished appearing below to pick up a straggler then appeared at the other end of the valley. He kept this up for as long as necessary.

Ayla drifted overhead both the tropius and trainer scanning the ground below. Most of the bigger, slower pokémon had been recalled. Anything fast and big was being used to help get those slower out. Liz and Ayla drifted overhead watching for any who might need their help.

Halfway to approaching the massive fortress in their attack run, Delphi practically halted midstride as her pupils shrank into tiny red dots. Being in the middle of a battlefield, she had of course been bombarded with danger signals constantly. The Absol had been ignoring them for the most part, but getting closer to the fortress had triggered an impulse so strong she just wanted to run all the way back to the ocean. The fortress was bad. It felt a bit like the x-ray machine vibe, but stronger. So much stronger.

And then it occurred to her that Epona was still running. Oh damn that silly loyal dog, Delphi hissed, taking off again even though her brain screamed that they needed to be somewhere, anywhere else other than right here.

Sparky jumped off Epona's head when the dog began to catch on fire, landing in the mud with a soft 'squish' and making a face. He didn't particularly want to get too close to the giant biting cat, but his trainer's command wasn't something to disregard lightly. The Pikachu took a few cautious steps towards the strongest source of electricity, before he was suddenly dangling about two feet off the ground. "Pika pi! Pipika chuuu!"

Nonono. We need to get out of here, Delphi hissed around her mouthful of collar and yellow fur. Now where is Epona?

The dog had metamorphosed into more of a comet at that point, a fiery missile that streaked towards her target and rammed into the metal hard enough to leave a huge, melted crater. Her attack run finished, Epona staggered backwards and shook her head to try and get over the sting of the impact. Doing that always hurt, unfortunately.

Eponaaaaa! The Arcanine pricked her ears and whuffed at her name floating out of the fog, turning around to see Delphi bouncing on the spot a few feet away, Sparky dangling from her mouth and looking very, very grumpy. Don't just stand there you dumb dog, run! RUN LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO DIE.

Doomtellers crying wolf would be very unusual indeed, so Epona erred on the side of caution and howled in distress. Next thing Delphi knew, she was the one dangling from somebody's mouth as the Arcanine grabbed her collar and a clump of white fur and streaked off across the ground. Delphi felt her tail dragging in the mud, but she put that aside for the moment in favor of thanking god that Arcanines were fast.

--

Cerb waited nervously in the mud, counting the seconds until her Pokemon came back. She felt rather naked without them in this environment, since all she had by way of protection in case another one of those toads popped up was the dinky little VP knife they'd all been given earlier.

And then their radio went off. Cerb caught something about 'nuclear', 'lack of cooling', and most importantly of all, 'retreat'. There was some mention of a flood too, but that was second in her mind to the fact that the fortress was about to go off like a bomb and her Pokemon were out there. "Everybody, retreat in as orderly a fashion as you can!" She called out, looking back to the red men and watching them withdraw their Pokemon. "No sense in causing excess chaos ourselves right now."

Rapid squishy footsteps behind her caused her to turn around and see Epona come galloping out of the fog, with Delphi hanging from her mouth and Sparky dangling from Delphi's mouth. Cerb paused half a second to savor the sight before she ran at the big dog and scrambled up onto her back. "We gotta get outta here fast, Epona. Either that fortress is gonna go off or we're gonna be swimming underwater. I sure wish I had Rage," she mumbled, casting a glance at Drago as she pulled out a Pokeball to recall Delphi. It was cumbersome to run while carrying something large in one's mouth, after all.

Sparky dropped to the dirt with a squish and indignant squeak, recovering quick enough to scramble up Cerb's leg and settle into Epona's neck fur. Cerb gave him a pat before twining her fingers into the dog's mane and hunkering down as Epona galloped off again, fleeing towards the nearest source of safety; be it a chopper or a very large hill.
