Log:



As night falls on the final day of an excellent beach prom adventure, the staff of Resort Gorgeous usher their guests out onto the beach for one last grand sight to top off the experience. Big, fluffy resort towels have been laid out for people and Pokemon alike to sit on, and locals are off to the sides, handling large and beautiful kites with incredible care. They come in all shapes and sizes, and each depicts a Pokemon you may have seen wandering the shores or swimming in the oceans during your time here. They're incredible works of art all on their own, and as the wind picks up, watching them lift off into the sky becomes an artistic experience in and of itself.

A hush falls over the gathered audience as the kites sail up, up, up into the sky. Small children begin to release lanterns that float up to join them, and the kites dance around them in practiced loops and twirls. In turn, they are illuminated from all angles, a play of shadow and color in the dark, starry night.

But as the show goes on, it starts to become apparent that starlight and lanterns... are not the only things lighting up the night sky.

A growing point of electric blue light that might have been overlooked at first among the rest of the stars becomes brighter and brighter, and bigger and bigger, quickly becoming what is clearly a long and jagged tunnel opening up in the middle of the sky over the island, accompanied by a sound like a clap of thunder.

There's barely enough time to react to the opening of space before, like bees from a hive, ghostly white creatures emerge, at least two dozen of them, drifting serenely down in the direction of the beach-- and, unfortunately, right towards the show, even as the locals gasp in shock and try to pull their kites in.

"What in the world is that?" one person cries out.

"Where did they come from?" shouts another.

But the biggest, most obvious reactions come from the wild Pokemon in the area.

Frightened Wingull take off in enormous clouds from their cliffside nests and scatter to the winds, the sea grows choppy with fish Pokemon of all kinds poking out from the waves to examine the bright light only to splash hurriedly back down, and even the Pyukumuku try to roll themselves back into the ocean, expelling their innards to help pull them across the sand. The landbound wild Pokemon don’t have the ocean or the sky to retreat to, and begin to swarm and stampede in their efforts to either find somewhere to get away from the strange, unnerving creatures...or stand their ground and attempt to fight them. The reaction from the wild Pokemon is so strong, in fact, that the strange creatures seem to panic themselves, jittering this way and that, only for some to get tangled in the strings of the retreating kites. Once ensnared, they start to emit an unsettling cry as they struggle to get free, lashing out with their tentacles at anything that comes near as they come tumbling slowly through the air towards the ground.

It’s chaos on the beach. Some locals try to yank their kites free, or send out their own Pokemon to try and defend themselves. Others run, scooping up children and Pokemon and yelling for others to do the same. Wild Pokemon are flapping and scampering everywhere, so panicky that they’re having a hard time telling friend from foe. The strange creatures are floating all around, lost and fighting with trained and wild Pokemon alike. But the question is...what will you do?

[Hunk spots the flailing girl as he's helping direct people to the safety of the resort.]

Picus, Fluffbutt, keep leading the others back to the building. Shay, with me.

[Rushing over to Sasha, he reaches out to her, squeezing a shoulder reassuringly while Shay skids to a halt next to Peanut Butter. The Rockruff gives a concerned yelp to the frightened Gallade, while Hunk voices a similar question to his trainer.]

Sasha, are you all right?!

[That yelp might be of the concerned type, but Peanut Butter is so tensed up that any unexpected sound startles him and he runs back to the safety that is Sasha's shadow where she sighs in defeat and recalls him back into his ball, calling out her Arcanine instead to team up with Shay in a dogs vs weird jellyfish thing fight.]

I'm okay! I'm not hurt or anything.

[Just scared. Very scared and it's showing on her face. Why does she feel so bad when she's faced down tens of Titans? Why does this feel so different? Other than it being a creature coming from the sky that Sasha has no concept of, not here and not in her world, she shouldn't feel this deep dread.]

What are these things? Are they Pokemon?

[Shay is definitely passing some judgement on Peanut Butter. How can he just go and abandon his trainer like that!]

I... I think so. When I pointed my dex at one, it said that the Pokemon was unknown. Which means it must be one, but it's not one anyone has ever seen before.

[Hunk frowns a bit seeing how scared Sasha looks, eyebrows furrowing in concern.]

We don't have to stay out here and fight them, there are still plenty of people who need help getting off the beach.

[In all fairness to Peanut Butter, Sasha is his new trainer and while she doesn't know if his former trainer babied him a lot, he's timid enough to have certain environments where he thrives. Sasha just hasn't figured them out yet and certainly this beach war isn't one of them.

Sasha knows that being a trainer means she has to battle a lot, but once Hunk seems to be giving her a way out of the fear she feels, she grabs a hold of it. It's nice that he doesn't seem to be judging her.]


Yes, okay. We have to get these people and the wild Pokemon to safety. They might stampede soon.

[She slaps her thigh, calling the Arcanine's attention.]

Barbecue, let's go!

[Being more of the live to fight another day kind of mindset, Hunk wouldn't never judge someone for not wanting to fight. Hell, he hates having to fight as much as he does back home, and that's just himself. Putting other creatures on the front lines? Not something he's particularly a fan of.]

As long as we guide them away from this immediate area, they should be safe. Those things seem to be mostly in this zone. If the wild Pokemon start to stampede, it'd probably be best to try and urge them closer to the water's edge. That way they're not too close to the resort and where all the people are.
