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 to watch 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!

[Doot doot doot, makin' a sling, taking care of Sugar, doot doot doot...]

Pff! You don't gotta. I'd probably trash 'em anyway.

[Krieg builds Shiro a very serviceable sling for his defunct arm, with some light telekinetic intervention from Fe Fe. Having a Psychic-type around is pretty handy sometimes.]

How's that feel?
shiro2hero: (thank god they have coffee)

Hey, it's only fair.

[He'll probably get Krieg a burger or something, that makes way more sense than bandages, anyway.]

[After it's done, he shifts a bit, testing it out. He gives Krieg a grateful nod.]


I think that's good. Glad you stopped by.
fuelthefire: (YOU DIE EVERY DAY!!)

[personal profile] fuelthefire 2019-11-11 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hah! Me, too.

[He reaches out with one big hand and drops it right on Shiro's head, where he ruffles the rainbow fluff.]

Ready to kick some ass?
shiro2hero: (oops accidentally charming)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2019-11-11 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ow.

[It doesn't really hurt, he's just got to complain a little. Like anyone else when they get their hair fluffed by an older sibling.]

I'm ready to give it a shot, like always.
fuelthefire: (IT'S WRONG ALL WRONG)

[Shiro will never know how close he was to a full-bodied noogie for that tiny complaint. The only reason Krieg doesn't pull him in tight and go to town is that dang shoulder.]

Good! Me too! And we'll melt anything that looks at you funny!
shiro2hero: (shit i can't believe that worked)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2019-11-14 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll owe you a noogie later, Krieg. Once it's back together again, you're welcome to go to town.]

Just keep the Jellyfish back and I think we'll be okay.

You got it, Sugar!

[Krieg will punch, melt, and/or sautee any jellyfish he sees 8|]
shiro2hero: (im so proud of u nerd)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2019-11-16 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
I owe you lunch after this, Krieg.

Anything you want.

[You're the best, Krieg buddy :'| ]
