A Grey Imbalance (RP Thread)

Rina stepped backwards as the fake Keldeo finally emerged from the statue. The Riolu knew that this couldn't be Kenshi, the aura was off. Even as she threw an Aura Sphere at the thing as it jumped up and shot a Bubblebeam attack at her. She barely managed to dodge the attack, but now she was seriously ticked off.

The false Virudómar let out a pained cry as what it took to be an ally landed a solid blow to his flank. He stumbled back, a purple energy gathering around his body as he tried to poison the Genesect with Toxic. "Have you betrayed us, you asinine fool?!" He spat, his fur standing on end. He was not about to loose to this... traitor! The chosen could wait, where were they going, anyways? They had them trapped here, secluded from their legendary partners. The Ralts couldn't teleport them away on her own. The chosen were not a threat. This traitor was.

Fusha, meanwhile, realized the Genesect must've been confused after a moment of staring at it. It wouldn't have been moving so sporadically if it had been in it's right mind. It must've been either extremely dizzy or hallucinating - but she wasn't about to correct the false Virus if he thought his ally had betrayed him. She took a moment to catch her breath, a rather smug look on her face as she watched the two legendaries battle.

Scorch saw Aegis struggling and she froze. That gave the fake Phoenix a way to attack with a Flamethrower. Suddenly Scorch snapped and she ran at the fake Phoenix in rage. "There want you to..." He was cut off as she yelled "Shut up and let me unleash my rage on this fake!" She blasted an Ember around her, probably burning anyone around her.

Cotton ran around, annoying the fake Adrianna.

'Virus' inwardly cringed, but forced a brave expression, staying light on his feet as he prepared to dodge as best he could. He'd probably be hit by one of the attacks, but maybe he could out-stall the traitorous Genesect... he just had to wait for the poison to wear him down, right? Still, with a Pokemon this big, it was almost certain to take some time for the toxin to set in. Drat. "Why do you defend them now?!" He snapped, tail lashing. "We've given you no reason to double cross us! The enemy is there!" He snarled, pointing a forepaw towards the Venipede. At best, he'd get Lautrec to re-think his decision. At worse, Virus would buy himself a little time.

Fusha slithered towards Aegis, an unreadable expression on her face. She hesitated slightly, was she really going through with this? ... yes, she had to. Her life meant nothing weighed against the world. "Can you just teleport out as many of us as you can?" She asked, her eyes narrowed. "... We can't let all of the chosen ones die on this mountain, can we? If you need to go on without someone, let that someone be me."

[color=orchid]"I don't want to die!" Fusha snapped back. That much was the truth. "But do you see any other options? Either everyone stays, and everyone who can save the world end up dead, or some of us get to escape! Unless another psychic Pokemon miraculously pops up - and frankly, I don't believe in miracles - I don't see how..." She trailed off, and a moment later, she abruptly broke off into a slight chuckle. "Besides, trust me. If we'd so much as exchanged a word before this, you would wish I was dead..." Gallows humor, as some liked to call dark jokes. It was a coping mechanism of hers.

Scorch looked at Fusha and said "If you stay then I will rather get destroyed by a Gyarados then watch you get defeated by these wimps." Her eyes simmered as she said this line "I shall stay here with you so we can face these together." Phoenix made a sound of surprise in her head. "You guys won't stop me."

Some small part of Fusha appreciated the offer. She didn't want to die alone on this dirty old mountain. But a larger part of the snake was saddened that it looked like a sacrifice would be necessary. As much as it disappointed her, they didn't have any other psychics... heck, their psychic Pokemon was a normal type! There wasn't a third option here, was there?

I'm disappointed, Fusha. Virudómar's voice was in her head again. Great. The last person she wanted to see right now was the moronic god who summoned her to what would most likely be her deathbed. If he hadn't asked her to come to this mountain, none of this would've happened. She would've said as much, too, but the god kept speaking. I picked you because your skepticism would help give the group something that, for the most part, it lacks. You can outwit your enemies, you won't fall into every trap. You're pretty clever, and I think you know it. Come on, there's a solution here - don't make me spell it out for you...

... oh, she was a moron. It hit her like a ton of bricks.

"... I appreciate the offer very much, Vulpix." She said, closing her eyes, deep in thought. "But I may have been too hasty. It's a long shot, so nobody get their hopes up too high, but Virus just gave me an idea. Maybe we can get a miracle."

She glanced over at the gathered Pokemon. She wouldn't get her hopes up for this. She couldn't. It was a shot in the dark, really. She was halfway to accepting the fact that she would die here, in the name of the greater good. Even if he could evolve, he only had a few minutes to do so and grow strong enough with psychic power to help Aegis teleport everyone. It was unlikely, at best... but it was better than laying down and dying.

"Where's that Eevee?" She barked, her gaze swiveling through the chaotic battle as she searched for him. "We can get him to evolve into an Espeon, can't we? There are a lot of unknown factors that could go wrong, but if we're lucky..." She trailed off, not seeing the need to finish. If they were lucky - very lucky - he would evolve and be able to help with the teleportation bubble. It was deceptively simple in theory.

OOC: I dunno about you all, but i think that now would be a perfect time for Mist to evolve!

As if in response to Fusha, Mist bounced by the teleporter thingy, making strange chicken noises from pure terror, while being bombed from the fake Sonic.
