Winona: Pelipper! Do what we practised with [Falkner]!

-Pelipper sees the attack coming and flaps her wings with as much strength as she can to take air, and with it gain some distance from the incoming Ice Beam. And just as the attack is about to hit, green-ish energy materializes around the bird, and the Ice Beam crashes against it-

Pelipper: <Trolololololol~>

-Pelipper sweats through the attack and loses a lot of altitude after the Protect dispels; and with the kinetic energy from the impact she can't readily regain her course-

Winona: Ufff... -- assumes a more lumping posture as she exhales -- It's a good thing Falkner recommended me to teach my Pelipper some tricks he saw Pelipper using once... But this is not going to save us for long.

Pelipper: <Your annoying Ice Beam...> -- pants, turns to Winona -- <Find me a way through it!>

-Winona tries to think hard of what to do in order to get past the Greninja's advantage-

Winona: That Ice Beam was very strong, and he has insisted on using it, so there is a chance that Greninja has Protean as an ability. -- to Pelipper -- Keep at low altitude and try to avoid the next one! And while you're at it, go for another Seed Bomb!

-Pelipper groans, or the closest thing a bird can do; however knowing herself bound to the rules of Gym Matches and having had four moves chosen for her, she flies in an open curve pattern towards Jiraiya, summong what little energy she still can for a move, batting her wings tiredly-

-Tyrantrum is sent out to fight and Winona examines the Pokémon for a moment, as does the Noctowl-

Winona: "You can already foresee where this is going..." -- eyeing Noctowl -- "Let's make this swift now, for that was our failure last time."

-The Noctowl nods then flies a slow circle around the central platform of the arena-

Noctowl: <That jaw is nasty, but it has to reach me first. Now, inhale and breath softly...>

Winona: "Give it a taste of Extrasensory, show it what being a bird feels like."

-And the Noctowl descends just a bit under the horizon line of the central platform, so as to let his wings stay out of the range of beam attacks. He then concentrates and STAAAAAAARES intently at the Tyrantrum, sending a strong psychic pattetn his way, muddled with thoughts of eggs, of preening, and of the for other creatures unnatural ability to twist their necks almost 180 degrees...-

-Rex, after weathering through the Twister, was instructed to unleash a Draco Meteor and after a mighty roar some meteors rained upon the arena-

Winona: "Oh dear... Okay, now that's unpredictable."

-Noctowl's plumage flustered and the bird having lost a lot of mobility, he can't avoid the attack completely and despite flying around trying to find a safe path across the rampage, is eventually hit by a couple of meteors and sent crashing to the ground-

Noctowl: <...Man. Man, just... why...> -- shakes himself -- <why would you do that.>

-Stands up after a moment and exchanges looks with Winona-

Winona: "This might be just the chance..." -- points to Rex -- "he has chosen to put himself in a weakened position. Noctowl, show him how the strongest winds roar and wither even the hardest rock."

Noctowl: <Agree...> -- nods, turns to Rex -- <Sorry, 'king', but I'm past your touch... I can't hear you over THIS!>

-Inhales, exhales, and unleashes a Hyper Voice scream so strong that it lifts debris from the arena, send it flying at and past Rex-

Rex goes closer to the edge of the platform, waiting for Noctowl to circle around. The bird remains under the horizon of the platform and, while this and his silent flight prevents him from being directly detected by the adversary, staying under the horizon also means Noctowl won't be able to know where Rex is.

Winona: "Okay, we have to try and finish this. Lash out at him with another Extrasensory!"

-Noctowl speeds up a bit, flies above the horizon line while charging tendrils of Psychic energy, and then...-

Fortree Gym, Top, in the past™

-Rex seems to be feeling good. Winona, seeing this, reaches a conclusion and discards two of the Pokéballs, crosses her arms.-

Winona: "You may do well indulging in some brief displays of satisfaction and content, for it is unfair to shield oneself against a beneficial wind. However, so far you have only faced against the wind's push; it seems I am yet to see your determination and I will show by example."

-Sends out a Pokéball and from there materializes a large [Skarmory] that immediately gets to work by flying in quick, stable circuits around her Trainer-

Winona: "...Steely determination."

-The Skarmory mirrors the statement with a shriek, then flies ahead to face Rex-

KA-ROULETTE!

-it would appear that the location of the Gaim Rahm has been randomized; the Randomizer is dead-

-for the most part, everybody should be back to normal now-

Cycle: NO[] WHAT HAVE YOU PRIMITIVES DONE[]

-another UFO descends from the sky-

Polly: Cycle, as a duly deputized agent of the Space Ampharos Really Cool Alien People Thingys...

You are under arrest for violation of the Prime Directive, conspiracy to grand larceny, Akashic vandalism, and lack of some amusing quirky minor crime to end this sentence in a comedic fashion.

Past, Pattern Bush

Lairon: <Yay! Victory!> -- does a little quadrupedal dance.

-then he looks at himself-

<I'm not a silly brid anymore!>

-Firuz looks at the UFO and the arrest-

Firuz: "...Ooookay, I guess I can live with that." -- shrugs. (Hey, the man lived alone in future Firuzland for at least six months)

-Lairon walks up to Salamence-

Lairon♂: <You should get that fluff checked.>

-Firuz's Mawile, who is once again a Mawile, and Maekrite meanwhile go check the remains of the Randomizer. The two check some of the pieces, and then Maekrite randomly kicks a random pebble at them-

Maekrite: <That was it? Wasn't there a... thing, they took?>

-Mawile looks around, doesn't see the Gaim Rahm anywhere-

Mawile♀: <On the bright side, this will never bother anyone again, ever.>

...

...

Northern coasts of Hoenn, at about the same time

-Some shards of what was once the Gaim Rahm are scattered on a beach. The wind blows, spreading the shards around, some of them to be taken to depths unknown by the waves of the sea. Other shards are picked by random birds who use them to line their nests.-

-Other shards, are carried inland by the winds, and easily gain altitude to commence what could be an interestingly inanimated travel around the world...  only to be picked by the totally random and not evil puffs of smoke that unnaturally circle the area near Meteor Falls, tracing the presence of a certain Fearow that was once nested there.-

-The puffs of smoke, upon picking the shards, start whirring and convulsing, the energy encased in them turning the shards into smaller pieces and finally into dust, the -random distinctiveness of which is then assimilated into the cloud's own -

...

-And then something inside the puffs of smoke starts thingking. Planning. First in very simple and instinctual terms, on how to reach the certain Fearow the distinctiveness of the cloud considers its prey.-

-Out of the powers of negativity, magic and whatever otherworldy technology that comprised the Gaim Rahm, a very small portal then opens in the skies above Meteor Falls. Small enough to be practically unnoticeable... small enough for only some little cloudly puffs of smoke to cross through...-

-...In search of an [alternate dimension] where distances don't matter and the Fearow will fall prey no matter what. As the Ashcloud crosses into this other world, it grows and spreads, unimpeded, with the only focus to extend, to embrace, to extinguish.-

Some hostel, somewhere

-Still exists, somewhere, resting on a sofa and doing nothing at the moment, except browsing on Hoenn websites where he can, looking for birthday cakes with [nuts].-

-new mail notification-

"Hmmm... that store too. I guess the weather's bad this season."

-new mail notification-

-frowns, checks Pokéballs-

"....Diiiiiiintel!"

Somewhere in Angela

-A man is in a room with a Serperior, the two of them going through boxes and old bags. The man is tidying his room an shredding some old documents when his phone rings. He takes a look at the screen then clear throat before taking the call-

Juanito: "Hey boss. How are things going?"

Silent: "Fine, so far. Listen..." -- check on lappy -- "I know that you just got back from vacation time..."

-A moment of silence-

Juanito: "Yes, uhm, that's true... " -- idly looks around -- "And it has been a good time, too. Far from all the secrets and stuff..."

-The man and the Serperior share a frown, or the closest equivalent gesture for the Serperior-

Silent: "I see."

Juanito: "Things with the missus are fine, too."

Silent: "...That too?"

Juanito: "Uhm... well, it's like... having a normal life." -- looks away from the Serperior, who glares at him -- "With all the perks."

Silent -raises an eyebrow: "Wish I could say I can relate."

Juanito: "Ah..."

-a moment of silence-

Silent: "Oh well, I was wondering if you would like to volunteer for a mission."

Juanito -exhales relaxed: "Please, by all means."

Silent: "Okay, you still have your transportation service credentials?"

Juanito -looks around, produces a small metallic box: "It's here, yes."

-Juanito's (wife's) Serperior starts slithering around, wiggling her tail back and forth-

Silent: "Good. I need you to request a teleport pad to Hoenn."

-moment of silence-

Juanito: "That's, uh... do I have to carry anything?"

Silent: "No, not really..." -- shuts his eyes for a moment, -- "Need you to get a couple of peoplemons for me."

-a moment of silence-

Juanito: "Uhm... can- can I use the chopper?"

Silent: "...If you have to."

-Juanito makes a triumphant "YES!" gesture, to which the Serperior reacts by rising up and hissing happily-

Juanito: "Okay boss, I'll be there in-"

Silent: "Uh, no... the people you have to pick up are at PEFE HQ."

Juanito: "...Oh. Well... I- I guess that will take a bit longer."

Silent: "Just make sure to keep in touch and seriously consider that telepad."

Juanito: "Okay boss. Be seeing you later. Plus passengers, of course."

Juanito: "Right then, bye."

-The call ends, Juanito turns around to see the Serperior staring at him, craning her neck and licking the air between them.

Juanito -shrugs: "I like this job."

-In response the Serperior slithers closer for cuddles.-

A Pokécenter in Fortree(?), Hoenn

-Silent returns to his activities which consist of mostly doing some research on what is know so far about Mega Evolution and Shadow Pokémon, as well as petting Ichtacya when the Leafeon walks in and out of the room. Somewhere in the skies above, [Shahinne] and her two adoptive parents are gliding towards the town with the Starly being happy because they promised her there would be cake.-

Copahue♂ - tiredly: <...until we can go sleep. Wouldn't you rather sleep?>

Shahinne♀: <...No!> :3 -- flies circles around Copahue.

Copahue♂: >.<

-Harriet chuckles and leads the two to the Pokécenter-

-And besides the cake, there could be visitors...-

Fortree Pokécenter

-The Nurse of the Pokécenter stares at Salamence, looks around for a moment then stares back at her-

Nurse: Uhm, you, Pokémon, where's your Trainer?

-Meanwhile Ichtacya raises her ears, notices Salamence-

Ichtacya: <Oh! We have a visitor...>

-She stands up and goes greet the Altaria-

Ichtacya: <Hey Salamence! How's Every?> ^.^

"Oh, if it isn't other than Salamence." -- waves, points to a plate of food nearby -- "Long flight? Shahinne will be happy."

Fortree Pokécenter

-The nurse eyes Salamence as she approaches Silent, assumes that she is Silent's mon and decides everything is fine... for the moment.

Ichtacya:  <Eeee~ that's good~> -- looks around -- <I'm gonna check on the others outside.>

-Silent make some room for Salamence to eat, though he does take some of the seeds from the plate and leaves them in another plate-

"Sorry, these are Copahue's. He's been a bit [weak] lately."

-At that moment the aforementioned bird comes into the Pokécenter, followed by Shahinne and then Harriet. The three birds hop around for a moment before homing in on Silent's place and then they notice the totally not random Altaria in-

Harriet: <Oh, Shahinne, look!> -- hops aside.

Shahinne: <...Oh?> -- notices Salamence -- <Yay! Aunt is here! ^.^>

-And hops at the Altaria's fluff-

-Harriet and Copahue meanwhile go to their own bowl to eat some seeds. Ichtacya, meanwhile, stays near the door of the Pokécenter wondering why Algira is not around yet.-

Some random pond near Fortree

-Algira is busy conversing and bartering with a random Masquerain, on the lower branches of a tree while a couple of random bug mons lie around paralyzed-

Algira: <I don't think I have been very clear about my position.> -- buzzes and flashes off some warm colors -- <I swiped that Cascoon.>

Random Masquerain: <No no no, yours is that one,> -- points to a random Silcoon who is trying to wiggle away towards a tree -- <so please if I can have my food back.>

Algira -lifts antennae: <It's not food, it's a gift. See, it even comes naturally wrapped.>

Random Masquerain: <...So what? That one too.>

Algira: <...> --buzzes angrily.
