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!

[He shifts as his teammate runs up, putting them shoulder-to-shoulder out of reflex. It still feels weird to be on the sidelines while their pokemon fight -- like this, at least. This feels like a real battle. Not like what he's used to sending the Aggron out for.]

We're okay! You? Have you found Matt or Keith?

[Because speaking of not liking to send his pokemon into a fight...]

I don't know what these are. Keep your distance.

[Kuro has one of the jellyfish monsters in his jaws, trying to fling it back out to sea. It helps that the monster doesn't seem to like Shay's roar, and starts frantically floating backward.]

I'm all right, but I haven't seen Matt or Keith yet.

[Shay jumps up onto Mega Kuro and uses him as a platform to tackle the alien jellyfish even further away.]

That light in the sky, it's like some kind of wormhole. Maybe if we get them close enough to it, it'll suck them back up?
shiro2hero: (the fuck is this??)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2018-04-25 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
We need to find them--

[For a lot of reasons. He's definitely glad to see his teammate is all right, even if his attention stays focused on the pokemon and their enemies.]

Worth a try! Do you have anything that can fly?

Just Picus, one tick.

[Hunk lets out a high-pitched whistle that immediately grabs the Pikipek's attention. Swooping through the air, he lands with a graceful flourish on Hunk's shoulder.]

Okay buddy, we need you to get the attention of the giant jellyfish, and lure it back towards the big, bright hole in the sky. Think you can do that?

[Picus puffs up his chest and gives a sharp trill.]

Okay, good. We'll have Haunter and Green follow him, they'll keep the things from getting him, and keep them contained.

[He hopes so, anyway.]

Haunter! Did you hear that?

[Somehow, even so high up, the ghost shoots him a thumb's up.] Pass it on to Green! Follow Picus!

[Giving Picus a quick scratch on the back of his head, Hunk sends him off and the little Pikipek takes to the sky. The Yellow Paladin watches his feathery buddy squawk loudly at a passing alien jellyfish to get its attention. Once he's gotten it, he takes off towards the bright rip of light in the sky.]

Oh man, oh man, I hope this works...
shiro2hero: (may have overestimated there)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2018-05-08 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Me too.

[He keeps his eyes on the sky. Trying his best not to stare too hard at the bright spot. The place the monsters came from. The place they could disappear to, purple light cutting a swathe across the planet.]

[Haunter zips in front of it, trying to herd the Jellyfish. Somehow wearing a cowboy hat, of all things.]


If it doesn't, we need to get everyone off the beach as quickly as possible.
