'Reggie' Haxor

One of the Taur-de-butch members stood firm footed on the ground, trying to get their bearing as the whole floor and air twisted around them. They appeared visibly nauseous as they saw their allies warped up in spirals of flooring into the air, grasping their head. A female member used their Staravia wield to fly through the distorted terrain with limited discombobulation, flying towards their hampered ally.

"Hold on, I'm coming to you - let's stick together!"

"Ooo trying to get around? NOPE!"

She turned to her side, watching Reggie inexplicably flying towards her without any visual reason indicating he should be. Having used a 'Copycat' command, he used fly against them, ramming his knee up in her stomach, throwing her off course! The masculine looking leader of the group grit his teeth as he saw this.

"You ain't gonna treat us as some toys! Get blasted, chump!"

Activating their own Pokewield, they gained coursing electric gauntlets on either arm, arcs of lightning going between many jagged crews in them. Electabuzz wield. Raising a gauntlet and curling his fingers, a thunderbolt attack shot out from his palm, headed right for Reggie.

...Or so it would have. The terrain seemed to warp the attack off in trajectory, making it curve upwards as if following a curvature of a celestial body that wasn't present. Reggie frowned for a second before realizing the error the enemy made, sticking out his tongue.

"Pro tips: Adjust your aim in a magic room to account for the wobbly stuff - like so!"

Copycat-pasting the move, he mimicked the man's movements, curving his fingers and fired the thunderbolt - adjusted for the room. The curving thunderbolt arched upward right into the staravia wielder! She howled out in pain as electricity coursed through her body before the wield dissipated, leaving her to drift in the magic room.

"No! Joanne!" The electabuzz user cried. "That's it, you are going down!!"

They were using charge, lightning building up around them as they were preparing a much stronger attack to get rid of Reggie while boosting their special defenses. Reggie, inputting the Metronome command, opened his mouth in surprise as his keyboard gave a an upbeat jingle with a purple visual. Very Rare! the text spoke as green energy began overflow into his body. A green aura exploded around him as it appeared to cast shadows all about his body, his glasses and grin the only notable features visible of the silhouette.

"Oh ho hoooooo! Y'all some screwed SOB's now!!"

Pointing his finger in the shape of a gun in front of him, he aimed and putting his thumb down like a hammer of a gun striking. Suddenly, a massive green laser erupted from Reggie, tearing through the terrain. He didn't need to arch it due to how large the laser itself was in surface area. The Electabuzz user was unfortunately exposed as the side of the beam engulfed him, his cries drowned in the sound of the energy attack. On the outside of the magic room barrier, one could see a huge green beam shoot out from it, piercing through a row of surrounding buildings. It was a bright sight to see! Chloroblast. An exceedingly rare and powerful plant type move.

The keys on their holographic keyboard cracked as the durability decreased substantially from the move, the energy beam finally subsiding. In the wake, the Electabuzz user was in critical condition, gasping like a fish out of water, clutching their chest like they were unable to breathe, rapidly losing consciousness. If they hadn't used charge previously, they would have died on the spot. The rest of the taur-de-butch members present were mortified after their squad leader went down. How were they going to approach this guy if he made their home turf HIS turf??

"Haha...hahahaha! Never used that attack before! What a rush!" Haxor sighed in glee. "...I want to experience that again!"

With a flex of his fingers, he initiated the copycat command. As the familiar green aura appeared around him, he turned to the other members of the gang, a wicked sneer on his face. He knew what this power did. And he had no qualms with using it again!

"Run! Run! Run! HAHAHAHA!"

He didn't need to tell them twice, they ran to abandon their posts as he pointed his finger right at the bundle of them. bringing his thumb down, the hyperactive energy laser released once more, carving right forward! They made a hole as they fled their posts, most avoiding the attack, some caught in the outskirts were shot out of the Magic Room with ferocity, the full brunt of the laser firing into the bank behind them!

Thorn

The Magmar wielder looked nervous. She hadn’t been prepared for someone so fast. Good. A few more seconds, maybe a minute, of this and the Magmar wielder would be getting desperate. The Earthquake helped to make her even more nervous too. But she was still focused on Thorn. She knew that she didn’t have time to heal. Thorn would take that opportunity to strike. On the other hand, Thorn didn’t have a lot of room to make a safe attack. Any move that she would use now would be followed up by an attack from the Magmar wielder.

Something flew past the Magmar wielder. For a moment she looked at what it had been. That was the trap. That split second was enough for Thorn to move in and do a Low Sweep to make the Magmar wielder fall to the ground. She got on top of her opponent and held her sai against her opponent’s face, mere inches away. That’s when the Magmar wielder made the connection. Thorn only had one sai. She had thrown the other one as a diversion. It hadn’t even been a move. But now, it was over. Thorn used Slash once more to break her opponent’s wield and then punched her in the face to knock her out.

Thorn’s opponent was down, but the battle was not over yet. After knocking out the Magmar wielder, Thorn quickly collected her sai that she had thrown before she turned to look at the rest of the battlefield. She was just about to go help the other ones who were fighting the Taur De Butch gang when…

FWOOOOOOSSSHH

A giant laser beam of green energy surged through the bank, knocking down a few Taur De Butch members. Solar Beam? No. It was too big for that. The whole doorway was covered by the laser. That must have been Chloroblast. But where had someone gotten access to a Hisuian Electrode? This had to be taken note of and reported in.

After rolling to the side to avoid falling debris, Landon was in a bit of a pickle. He came face to face with one of the Taur De Butch members who immediately began attacking. He dodged the sword as best he could, but he couldn’t keep this up unarmed. He rolled under the sword and came up behind the gang member. Acting quickly, he grabbed Oricorio's ball and activated this wield. And once again time seemed to come to a halt…

Once his Gloom wield had broken, he had instantly transformed back to have his regular clothes. But with this Oricorio, his clothes changed once more. He once again winked at the imaginary camera and began spinning like a ballerina. His jeans became white stockings and a yellow skirt and his shirt transformed from a Hello Skitty shirt to a yellow blouse. He gained white gloves which reached up to above his elbow and two yellow pom poms to finish off. He did a cheerleading pose with his pom poms and winked with one eye. Then time began moving again.

Landon flailed his pom poms out in an arch, smiling as he did it, which caused air to almost solidify and be thrust towards one of the Taur De Butch members. Air Cutter. Oricorio was not the strongest Pokémon, but anything that he could do to help was worth it.

Then the laser came.

It occupied the whole entrance, thrusting Taur De Butch members to the ground. Landon didn’t know where that came from. He was unsure he wanted to find out. It could be another adversary who missed. And that would be… bad.

Nevertheless, Landon kept a happy smile. He turned to his Cubone wielding teammate.
“Bro, you got this. C. U. B. O. N. E. Cubone-lad will take down these guys easil-ee”, he said in a chant, doing a little cheerleading dance to go along with his message. Helping Hand.

Gotyobooty

Sam saluted.
“Sure thing, boss! But just so you know, I’ll charge you 57 batteries an hour for this”, they said, throwing out a random number and a random item to make a joke. They selected their Zorua wield. Nothing really changed appearance-wise, but a dark energy had enveloped them when they activated their wield. They could use Zorua’s moves, but they had no weapons to go along with the wield. Zorua’s power wasn’t so much in combat (though he was no slouch there) as it was in trickery. Sam also chose to bring out their Ditto wield at the same time, opting to dual wield as that was their usual strategy of fighting. A pink goo enveloped them as the wield activated, but it quickly disappeared. Seemingly into Sam’s body.

Once they had both wields active, they opened up their friend list. It was quite extensive. Many of these people had been scammed by Sam, many had not yet realised it and few (very few) were actually friends with them. They sent a request to join a party with this Dusk guy.
“Here we go, that should do it. I’m afraid you’ll have to accept that if you want me to have a weapon. I’m a Ditto and Zorua wield. But I can only copy the wields of people I’m on a team with. But hey! Then we can both be gunslingers together! Pow pow! Gotyobooty and their trusted sidekick Dusk take on floor 2 and the evil Turd gang! Will they be able to stop these evildoers from killing the innocent? Stay tuned to find out!”, they said dramatically, grinning and giving off a laugh as they finished.

 

[=Nightshade=]

Panda watched her translucent live-view feedback screen with amusement as she swiped Cam from the enthusiastic and slightly-too-close Yokai to the incredulously-but-silently gesticulating HIYAAA and back. When the Hitmonchan wielder flexed for the camera, a highly undignified snort escaped Panda, and she sent Cam back up high for a wider view. She decidedly ignored the influx of comments that suddenly had much less to do with evacuation points and much more to do with her eccentric new companions.

Spoiler: CHAT

pandalvr67: STOP
pandalvr67: MY QUEEN DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER

kaBLAM!: HIYAAA

blastoisefromthepast: ?
blastoisefromthepast: they just saved her ass

ShittySkitty: HIYAAA

pandalvr67: NO DONT ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE CRETINS

hdhfjdnfid: HIYAAA !!!

BIGDAWG: like yokai watch

EatOrEatOrEat: HIYAAA >

i_like_balls: HIYAAA >:3

Bill_Stevens <Corporate>: HIYAAAAAAA

HIYAAA opened his inventory, and Panda tensed marginally as if preparing for some sort of attack. But he only offered a Berry Juice, which she accepted with a bemused look, inspected, then drank. “Thank you,” she pronounced slowly, as if the words were from some foreign language. This was the second time in as many minutes that she was expressing gratitude. She ought to pull herself together.

A silver bullet of a player streaking toward them set all of them on edge once more, but Panda straightened up and relaxed when she recognized the ramrod-straight lines of Kuraokami’s disciplined stride and the accompanying Halloween-y palette of his Arcanine wield.

“Soul’s usually an idiot,” she agreed cordially with Kuraokami’s assessment. “That being said, I’m glad you’re here. This place is more of a mess than I thought it’d be.” Panda glanced back at her two new acquaintances. “No threat, now— these two showed up and she decided a three on one wasn’t worth the trouble. Originally I thought splitting up would be most efficient, but a group could deter—“

A soft ping interrupted her, and she glanced up at a custom-rosy-pink banner that appeared above her head, briefly confused. Panda had turned off her friend request notifications way back when her streams had started gaining popularity for sustainability’s sake, but when in proximity, she still got a chime. So which of— ah. The quiet one’s name was on the banner. Maybe he had some shitty game glitch that was keeping him silent and needed DMs. No harm in accepting for now; she could always block him if he turned out to be annoying. Panda flicked upward in the air to approve the friend request, then left to clear the notification.

Spoiler: CHAT

pandalvr67: WHAT WAS THAT
pandalvr67: WHAT THE FUCK

blastoisefromthepast: do you not know what friending is…?

pandalvr67: HOW DARE

EatOrEatOrEat: man she never accepts my friend requests

Panda let out a low breath and returned to her map of the floor. Since the last time she’d looked, other pins had appeared while a couple that she’d placed had been replaced with green checks. Soul must have gotten on her feed and started parsing the comments for locations himself, or more likely, delegated the task to one of the more tech-savvy Knights. Like having my own private production team, Panda thought wryly. Still, if the extra support meant more lives were saved, she could tolerate the overreach. Just this once.

“Okay,” Panda muttered, getting her plans back in order. “We’ll try to avoid the central area— we’re not trying to kick ass, just help people get out. Though kicking ass along the way is not discouraged.” One side of her mouth pulled into a lopsided smile, and Cam panned dramatically as if they were plotting in a movie scene. “Closest cluster’s at the Shinx Claw Saloon, looks like. From there we can head in a loop to cover—“

Panda’s finger tracing the map briefly flickered green… along with everything else. She froze. Were the graphics breaking down? A warning sign of another Collapse? The rumble like thunder that followed a second later with the softest whisper of wind at its heels answered that question— no. Panda looked up just soon enough to catch sight of a fat green laser dissipating into sparks from the direction of the central Pokebank.

“Damn,” Panda muttered, taking manual control of Cam again and sending the Natu high to aim the feed down at the bank. She pinched her fingers in the air to zoom in while simultaneously gesturing to make her live-view enlarge in front of her for the others’ benefit. A Magic Room encased the entire Pokebank in psychedelic swirls, smoke rising from a row of buildings that had been annihilated by the laser— a rare enough move that Panda couldn’t place it off the top of her head. As she watched the feed, another blast of death shot out through the barrier and carved another building diagonally in half before winking out in the dust-filled air. Another rumble came a moment later.

“Reason number holy shit not to go near there,” Panda muttered darkly. “Let’s do what we know we can to get people out. Unless anyone else has a better idea.”

BIGDAWG: HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Yokai
Yokai deflated sightly as Cam was pulled back. After a bit more finagling, Yokai finally readjusted his head, snapping it into place with a satisfying click. Both his companions took a defensive stance upon Kuraokami's arrival, while Yokai simply turned his head, greeting the new arrival with a defenseless smile. Happy to see another friendly face, the ghost type wielder greeted the armored man with a light slap on his cloak, admiring it's floof. It was lucky Panda seemed to know him.
So did Hiya, apparently, given the look he gave Yokai, mystifying the stalker. Was she famous or something? Ah well.
"Hi! I'm Yokai!" chirped Yokai, with the exact same tone and inflection as his last greeting. Before he could follow up with the usual questions though, a familiar chime caught his attention. He had gotten a friend request! Yokai quickly opened his friend's list and accepted it without even checking the name, only realizing it came from Hiya after the fact.
And well, now that he was friending people...
<Yokai> sent a friend request to <Panda>
<Yokai> sent a friend request to<Kuraokami>
They only barely met, but since they were the only ones in the city that hadn't attacked him yet, they were basically friends!
Yokai's eyes wandered as Panda muttered her plan, idly sweeping the surroundings before landing on a huge expanse of green light, then flicking to the floor as it rumbled. Huh?
Cam flew overhead, and Panda displayed a recording, apparently being taken from the natu's perspective.
"Oh! Like a camera!" Yokai exclaimed in far too late realization. The bright flashes and shifting environment made for a disorienting display, but Yokai was starry-eyed as he watched another flash of green shaking the earth, taking out some of the surrounding buildings in the process. It was so cool! The Mimikyu wielder looked back to the site of the destruction, looking only seconds from running into the fray in spite, or perhaps because of, the danger.
