Yeah, there's definitely no way Negrek isn't going to
attempt to? kill everyone now. The fire in the Bank of TCoD is spreading rather quickly, already visible through the broken glass window. It'll be a while before the entire building is up in flames, but on the ground the Trainers in black cloaks and their Pokemon take a few cautious steps away, to prevent the match from ending early from falling debris. That would be boring! In the distance is the glow of fire, as the meteor that destroyed the referee's business appears to have set fire to the adjacent buildings. Well.
Quicksilver makes her move as the Cleffas on the ground are still looking around at the burning bank behind them and in the distance, moving her arms back and forth to the sound of a silent beat. She blinks as nothing appears to happen, and the wings on her back suddenly stop beating. Quicksilver falls with a shriek, the wings angling her downward and in the general direction of Tye. Turning to look at her back, she sees the faint outline of her wings disappear and form into a short stinger just behind her stumpy legs, glowing a faint purple.
Just as she's sure she's going to crash into Tye, who can do nothing but stare with quite the look of shock on his face, Quicksilver passes over his head and cuts him with the stinger, before it quickly flows back into the shape of wings and pulls the Togepi sharply up into the air again. She comes to rest about twenty meters in the air, closer to the ground than before and breathing hard. Give her a panic attack, why don't you?
As Tye rubs his head and tries to recover from the shock of Quicksilver
totally dropping out of the sky at him, Degenerate takes advantage of the opportunity to wag his arms back and forth, smiling slightly at the look on Tye's face. He stops suddenly and starts coughing, dropping to his hands on the ground in a sudden fit. He definitely has Tye's attention now, and the other Cleffa stares at him as he makes a retching sound, and a purple cloud flows from his mouth.
Tye moves back, pretty disgusted, and holds his breath as the cloud slowly drifts by him, missing him by a few feet. As it dissipates to his side, he lets out his breath and takes a cautious step forwards, looking around warily for traces of the purple fog.
Looking uncomfortably at the still-shaking Degenerate, Tye waves his arms around, before slowing down and moving them simply side to side. An odd look comes over his face and he turns towards Degenerate. Smiling, he makes the most charming face he can and spouts cute noises, internally wincing and struggling over the odd urge that's come over him. Degenerate stands up warily, looking over Tye with a critical eye. What did he want..? Tye looks up at Degenerate with wide eyes and suddenly Degenerate feels bad for hitting him with a meteor. But that wasn't really his fault, was it? Degenerate looks away from Tye and frowns, trying to spot Quicksilver in the sky.
The Togepi catches her breath and looks down warily, a bit uneasy at the distance between her and the ground. Togepis weren't meant to be in the sky until they evolved, she decides. She sighs and begins to move her arms back and forth, squeezing her eyes tightly shut as the wing outlines lower her a few meters. Still closing her eyes, she feels a sudden heat build up in her upper body and opens her eyes. To her surprise, she appears to be glowing a light yellow, almost white, and it's beginning to get a bit uncomfortable. Quicksilver shakes her head on an impulse and the light goes flying everywhere, leaving scorch marks in both Degenerate and Tye, who fall on their backs at the force of the wave of fire. Tye appears to have taken the brunt of the blast, as he looks rather more burnt than Degenerate. She looks around and smiles at the blackened streets, an untouched circle around the Trainers and referee's Ralts.
Degenerate is the first to recover, rubbing the soot off his face and groaning. As soon as he's able to without trembling, he swings his arms back and forth as the dust stirs around him. As he lowers his arms and looks around expectantly, he suddenly feels pressure on his back and looks around in surprise. There isn't anything on him that he can see... Tye seems to be under the same effects. He's crouched down and looking around as well, with a rather surprised look on his face. As Degenerate moves into a defensive stance and gets ready for someone to attack him, he spots a white point in the sky and is surprised to see Quicksilver descending quickly, struggling with the wing outlines attached to her back. The wings thrash about in an effort to keep her aloft, before simply disappearing and dropping the Togepi about a meter above the ground. She lands with a slight
thump and winces, before hopping to her feet.
Tye looks at the raw blisters on his back and winces, the pressure of the air making him feel a bit uncomfortable. He feels like it should sting, though as he looks closely at them he can see small sparks racing around on his back, touching the open parts of his blisters and making them feel slightly numb. As Tye looks on, the sparks disappear back under his skin, and he turns forwards again.
Almost reluctantly, he raises his arms and moves them back and forth, hoping for some revenge. His entire body tenses up and twitches suddenly, making him narrow his eyes against the sudden pain. Out of the corner of his eye, Tye sees a few sparks race towards Degenerate, up his legs, and disappearing into his torso. The other Cleffa frowns and takes a deep breath, and Tye sees that it's harder for him to move now. Hah. Take that.
Quicksilver's recovered from her sudden drop from the sky, and while Degenerate tries to control his body and Tye watches him with satisfaction she raises her arms and moves them back and forth. Something rises up in her throat and she makes a face, trying not to spit it everywhere. As the pressure in her mouth becomes too much to contain she spits, spewing more stomach fluid than one would expect a small Togepi to have all over the closest Pokemon, Tye. He wails as it splashes onto his blisters sending the sparks on his back flying away from him and disappearing in the air. Quicksilver is still making an odd face, as she looks at the rank-smelling fluid she just sprayed all over the ground. Disgusting. That came from inside her?
Tye bites down hard as his blisters sting again and raises his arms as high as he dares, doing his best not to stretch his back. He slowly begins to move his arms, and yells as the suddenly snap out to his sides, and green light begins to flow from his hands into the ground. Gritting his teeth against the sudden headache that comes over him, he looks closely at the blackened road beneath him and blinks as he sees it shaking slightly.
All around the battling Pokemon, the road begins to crack, tiny plant sprouts pushing through the pavement, and reach towards Quicksilver. She cries out in surprise and takes a few steps backwards, but can do nothing as the plants suddenly burst from the ground and fly towards her, shoving her roughly to the ground as the flow into the pavement around her. Quicksilver yells as the vines and plants rush over her, dragging thorns and twigs over her face and shell. As she tries to bring her arms up over her face the plants slow their rush into the ground around her and eventually come to a stop, encasing her in a shell of vines.
Quicksilver tentatively reaches out and touches the vines, finding they bend easily and pushes her way out of the leafy dome. She takes a look at herself in the light of the streetlamps, finding quite a few bleeding scratches on her face and shell, and a number of thorns stuck in her arms. Quicksilver begins to work on pulling these thorns out with a frown, shooting Tye a few angry glances. Ooh, she'd definitely get him back good.
As Degenerate struggles with his arms, he manages to get them in the air against the wishes of his unwilling muscles. That's all he manages to do before his arms lock in place in the air, not responding to his struggles to move them. Frustrated, he lets his arms stay in the air and glares at both Tye and Quicksilver, daring them to say something about the awkward position they're in. Both his opponents ignore him as Quicksilver nurses her wounds and stares daggers at Tye, while the other Cleffa is gazing around in astonishment at his work. Both seem oblivious to Degenerate's plight.
The ref looks around nervously as a creaking sound echoes all around them. The increased gravity and destruction of a good chunk of the buildings' foundations through Frenzy Plant and Searing Shot can't be good.. An Earthquake would probably bring down a part of a building or two, she decides. Hopefully not any of the ones near the Trainers and her.
