AETHER VS. ULTRA
Who: The Aether Foundation, the Ultra Beasts, and YOU!
Where: Aether Headquarters on the Sevii Islands.
When: October 30th-31st, immediately after the Emergency News Bulletin
Summary: Showdown at the Aether HQ! The Ultra Beasts have found what they were looking for...
Rating: PG for action violence.
Log:
If there's one thing that can be said about several weeks straight of chaos, it's made the general response-time of rescue teams and emergency services across Johto and Kanto alike extremely quick. Within moments of the urgent news bulletin regarding the Aether HQ going live, relief efforts start taking off from every feasible point. With volunteers eager towatch the Aether Foundation go down in flames help any way they can hopping on board with the rescue forces, aid is coming, and fast.
... But not as fast as them.
At the exact moment of the broadcast, almost as though heralded by some unknown frequency, every Ultra Beast in land, sea, or sky drops whatever they're doing and turns their heads (or... headlike appendages, in most cases) to the south. And then they'll take off, pausing ONLY if they happen to have befriended a human or two over the weeks. These ones will gesture-- beckoning, dancing, even dabbing (because you KNOW at least one person taught one to dab)-- anything at all that they may have picked up throughout the month in order to communicate with the "aliens" they've met in this world.
Wherever they're headed, they want their strange allies to come with them.
And, if their invitation is accepted, they will sweep a trainer or two right off their feet and shoot off for the Sevii Islands.
_______
The temporary Aether Foundation HQ, a rather advanced building considering it went up in a matter of weeks after they first arrived that year-and-a-half-or-so ago, sits on the water's edge with its floating Pokemon sanctuary (which many consider to be the Foundation's crown jewel) neatly attached.
It's normally a pretty peaceful place, with volunteers coming and going as they please. While no small amount of property damage and general chaos has gone down on the mainland over the course of October, at no point had the marauding Beasts launched a concentrated, or indeed deliberate-seeming, attack against any one location at all.
This is clearly no longer the case.
An explosion sends billowing smoke (and a fancy white golf-cart) high into the air above the palm trees surrounding the building. Local islanders and wild Pokemon spill onto the beach to escape what has seemingly become an all-out warzone between Aether agents and Ultra Beasts of all shapes and sizes...
But while there is definitely fighting going on, taking a closer look will tell anyone that the Beasts are focused mainly on the building... and not just destroying it, either. The battering they're delivering seems to be with the intent to find a way inside, only stopping to attack humans and Pokemon who try to get in the way.
But why?
What's in there?
Whatever it is... those Aether agents who haven't already fled aren't keen to let anyone, human or Ultra Beast, too close!
[Happy Halloween! See the updated info post for more info... and comment below to join the fray...]

no subject
[Or maybe the volunteers are just THAT determined. He doesn't know. It just seems best to get the people somewhere safe before they decide to launch themselves more into the fray than before.]
[If they stick around, they might be injured, too.]
Hog... tie? [Well there's a new term. He gives the older man an incredulous look, once he clarifies via Vine Whip.]
That cannot possibly be legal.
no subject
[Without having to knock them out.]
[Man the Jennies are probably going to be fed up with the entire lot of them after this fucking mess, aren't they? Oh well.]
Maybe they got some potions around here we can help out with. I keep some on me for my rescue work. Not a whole lot, but I could patch up a couple that had it especially bad.
no subject
[Or Shadowmaru just got yanked along for the ride by his over-eager bug. How a Venipede managed to do that, we will never know. Or ask.]
[He can't be arrested he has a spotless record!]
I see. I'll attempt to ... scrounge for supplies among the fallen, or detained.
no subject
[But he's a little charmed that Shadowmaru has a fear of an arrest record.]
Don't worry, I think we can make a run for it when the po-po shows up. [He jokes wryly as he pulls out some of his potions and a couple of hyper potions. He should probably hang onto those. He tucks those away again, and gives three potions to Shadowmaru out of his personal stock. It'll be enough to get some pokemon fit to leave.]
no subject
[Of course he's concerned. When an AI goes rogue, when it stops following the law... nothing good happens to them.]
[He's seen it. First hand.]
Hysterical, thank you. [He'd find it funnier about literally any other topic. But accepts the potions, regardless.] You're certain you won't need these?
no subject
[He knows about rogue AIs fearing their doom. He lays off 'cause that concern looks very real, and would understand if he knew the fear.]
I won't. Hold onto 'em and we'll probably find some more while we're at it.
no subject
[But he still sounds uncertain. Chewing at his lip slightly. Maybe it is something he should talk about sometime. But for now, no. He'll just put it aside.]
Perhaps in some abandoned cabinet, hm?
[Time to round up some more Aether goons.]
no subject
[He sees at least one that seems more concerned with his already beaten pokemon than with staying to fight.]
Here, that one seems ready to go. [He points over at them, cradling a battered Wingull.]
no subject
[He's glad of a change in subject, anyway. Moving fairly quickly around any fallen debris. There's something he didn't lose in his human transformation.]
[And loops an arm around the agent, starting to usher them forward.]
Come, come. The exit is this way -- should you become lost... Follow the Venipede!
[Who leaps from his shoulder, chomping gently on the agent's shoe to tug them forward.]
no subject
Come on, come on. If you ride the Arcanine he can get you to the Pokecenter. I trust him to make it.
[He won't be using Tubbs to fight here today. He might as well have him on rescue duty.]
Your little buddy there looks like he had the fight taken out of him.
no subject
[He chimes in when the volunteer seems a little less than thrilled at the idea of leaving... but relents.]
[... Shadowmaru once again reins in his Venipede.]
May we offer a potion in this trying time?
