Ecrutale!

-Ho-oh smiles. How a bird smiles despite having a beak, I'm not completely sure, but hey, that's not the issue here!-

Ho-oh: <Excellent, I'm sure it will turn out well.>

Nix: <Honestly, I'm not really worried about the whole "protection" thing. We're the ones who make the Sacred Ash, after all!>

Ho-oh: <...It's more complicated than that. But regardless!>

-He approaches Spectrum-

Ho-oh: <Now, the final step is a sort of temporary apotheosis -- as long as you are deemed worthy, you will retain power beyond your normal limit, for the sake of defending yourself against anything that may come. Of course, it also comes with physical changes. Now, are you allergic to shellfish?>

-Spectrum tilts her head-

Nix: <Dad!>

Ho-oh: <I kid, I kid! Although you should definitely find out if you are eventually. For important reasons. Are you ready?>

Spectrum:  <I... think so!>

Ho-oh: <Excellent. Now, relax...>

-Ho-oh places a wing on Spectrum's head, and Spectrum starts glowing brightly, bright enough to blind anyone who doesn't look away -- or at least wear sunglasses. When the light fades, Spectrum is surrounded with a shimmery glow, particularly around her wings and tail. Spectrum opens her eyes, and flaps her wings once, leaving a faint sparkling dust in their path.-

Spectrum:  <Wow... I feel funny, but in a good, tingly, warm, sunlighty way!>

-Ho-oh blinks-

Ho-oh: <...Odd. Not quite the result I was intending, but I suppose it works. There was supposed to be a bit more of a transformation. Mother Shiranui was much better at these sorts of things, but alas...>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Ecrutale!

-The Nidorino and Weepinbell listen as Nix goes on about the "protection"-

Nidorino: <W-well, I'm sure there won't be trouble, little bird, though our peoples would feel more comfortable if they know there are Pokémon designated to keeping things comfortable for you and the secretary... Pokémon.>

Weepinbell -sweatdrops: <...Which maybe we should point out at some point to the Ursaring it's not a bird.>

Nidorino -bows to Nix: <I hope you understand this is... important. My kin do pray to your father in the mornings.>

-After that the Pokémon step back to give Spectrum some room as she is summoned once again for the final steps of the apotheosis (which the Ursaring and Miltank are wondering what does the word even mean)-

-All the Pokémon around had to protect themselves (or Protect themselves, if they were able) from the AWSM light from Ho-Oh and Spectrum's doing. As the light subsides, Spectrum is revealed to now be more colorful. There might be some other minor changes, and the leading Pokémon around curiously approach to look for anything different, but the funny dust and the colorful thing do stand out the most-

Miltank: <Uhmmmm....> -- to Spectrum -- <You feeling okay? I mean, besides the colorful?>

Ursaring: <...What did just happen?> -growls more out of surprise than animosity.

Weepinbell -hops around: <I've never in my twenty months of life seen anything like this.>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Ecrutale!

Nix: <Well, if you insist. We can talk about who does what later! And hush, Aunt Spectrum is totally a bird.>

-Spectrum beams and flutters her now sparkly wings-

Spectrum: <I feel great! Oh, but I have so much responsibility now! This is so exciting but I gotta be the best bird I can be!>

-Ho-oh gestures for Nix to come to him.-

Ho-oh: <One more thing, before I leave... Don't do anything rash like throwing any unauthorized parties or whatnot, okay?>

Nix: <Don't worry so much, dad! I won't do a thing like that. You can trust me~>

-She chirps innocently. Ho-oh nods and turns back toward the crowd-

Ho-oh: <Okay, is there anything else you would like to know before I take my leave?>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

CU, Daydre's Dungeon

(As per this post)

-Silent is in the dungeon as well, accompanied by -who else?- Cu Sith. Silent waves a hi to Daydre, it's not that often he gets to see members of the RP group the gang newer than, say, Ren. Or, like, see anyone at all.

"Hey, Ren, Daydre. If that's actually you and not two Shadows that I can conveniently only barely see..."

-remembers to adjust his glasses-

-Cu Sith meanwhile is not much concerned with anything but the sensation of the tiles under his paws. He steps curiously on one place, then goes to step on the next, always keeping a close distance to the group, and listening closely since the fog might be thick enough that he can't actually see the floor. Silent can sense him thinking of exploring the tiles further though...

CU, Daydre's, Past

"Oh then I hope that the other figure I saw was Mendel, otherwis we might be in trouble..."

-Silent greets Ren back, then turns to Mendel.

"Speaking of, nice to see you again. I'm glad to join like, finally. How is life outside of these adventures going on?"

-Cu Sith meanwhile has heard Ren tapping on the tiled floor and goes approach him, sniffing and tapping around him for a while. He then focuses on his surroundings but is unlikely to feel any opening other than forward. Boring out a bit, Cu Sith then looks up at Ren as if expecting him to try more tiles-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Twisted Operations, in the Past

-Silent is conveniently "slightly offscreen" with the idem group, and can only barely see Verax having issues with False!Tagg, then receives a notice from Mendel via his Contractor Accessory.-

Mendel!!!! wrote:

Professor! Have Al-mi'raj use Disable on the it! It should hamper it's ability to form constructs!

-Silent can see some of the action then turns to where is Persona is working on "slightly offscreen" stuff.-

"Al-mi'raj, we have some trouble. Auric constructs...  a power with ample forms of usage."

-In the dashes a masked figure that stands right before Silent. An anthropomorphic Nidoran figure with a long, thin horn and brandishing a veritable amount of small weapons, covered in a worn coat featuring various random spots colored like the seasons and adorned with small trinkets. Despite the trinkets moving as a result of the coat's flowing, no sound is made.-

Al-mi'raj: "Allowing the opponent to attack from any range, in any form? Dangerous abilities even in the mere potential for their use..."- nods.

-Silent then steps back and thinks of the next move.-

"Agree." -to Al-mi'raj: - "Restrain then those capabilities! If that creature wants to be able to go after Verax's neck, let's see how well it plays when it can't 'cheat'!"

-The masked figure takes a couple of steps and produces some darts from its coat's pockets. However, instead if throwing them, he forms a circle of energy around them and uses such circle as a scope to take a good look at the Tagg idol.

Al-mi'raj: "The warriors here do not want your pain, foul creature. Toss aside your shield, and present your face."

A chant then commences, and Al-mi'raj focuses its power to summon a ring of energy that dispels and quickly starts forming back in the distance, right around False!Tagg-

-This will manage to dissipate False!Tagg's Aura chains-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Somewhere in... somewhere

-Silent's team is taking a rest somewhere. While Silent is working on his laptop connected to the PEFE BBS board, Maekrite is taking a nap on a nearly bed under a sunbeam, as is Sol (but of course!).-

Sol the Espeon♀: <No I'm no-> [SLP]

-Other Pokémon are having their fun and rest somewhere else...-

???: <...Wheeee~ It's cold!>

-In the bathroom, Copahue and Harriet are observing carefully as Shahinne takes a bath. Because there's very few things cuter than a Starly taking a bath, truly~

Shahinne: <I'm going to get all fluffy!> - hops around.

Harriet -sighs: <Well, we can go perch on the roof afterwards, while there's sunlight...>

Copahue: <Uhm... shouldn't it be nighttime?> -- cranes his head to take a look at the clock.

-Harriet stares at him for a moment like he was crazy-

Harriet: <I'll believe it when Sol wakes up.>

Sol furball under the sunbeam: <~purr~>

-Shahinne meanwhile enjoys her bath for a moment as her parents chat...

...but suddenly she stops moving, which her adoptive parents don't notice for a while.

Copahue: <...plus it would be dinnertime if->

Harriet: <...Shhhh> - raises a wing to his face, then turns to Shahinne -- <Something wrong?>

-Shahinne looks up to the sky the roof-

Shahinne♀ -softly: <I feel a disturbance in the force...>

Harriet: <...Disturbance?>

Shahinne♀ -softly: <...Like if a Nido that was not tiny and cute... now was again~>

-Copahue and Harriet stare at each other for a moment, then crane their heads to take a look at Maekrite.

-Who is still napping and is still a Nidoran♂.-

Harriet -turns to Copahue: <Do you think we should check with...?>

Copahue: <...Nah.> -- shakes his head -- <I learned to not ask that question until after weird stuff happens.>

-Meanwhile, Shahinne blinks, notices the water pooling around her...

Shahinne♀: <...Bath time!> -- trills ^.^

-And continues with her beauty bath, ignoring her epiphany.

-Roc would be proud...

-Meanwhile, at the bed...

Maekrite♂: <....rrr?>

-Maekrite's whiskers shake and he sniffs around for a moment, then he returns to sleep. Being tiny and cute.

Dragon Airship (?)

(In response to the 7JD showing up)

-Not long after Alduin's cry for Dov supremacy, a disc of white light materializes in the battlefield, emitting a deep and harmonic sound; the disc reverberates and at the center an open space starts opening, from which fresh air flows-

-...And soon, as well, a female growl-

????: <...The dov, once again! Where spared, you cry tumultuous wars. And now, on all of humanity?>

-From the portal opening, a large Water Pulse orb, about as large as the evil draconic Seishirou, emerges and flies straight at him, while a figure in the shape of a Nidoqueen can be seen slowly walking its way through the portal-

Dragon Airship

(After this post)

-A Nidoqueen emerges from the portal and steps on the ground. At first, she stumbles around awkwardly, appearing surprised at the mechanical scenery. She looks around noticing the other Pokémon in the area, and huffs as she doesn't recognize any of them, though she tilts her head at the appearance of a Braixen; but once her sight catches Fuuma and Seishirou, her semblance changes-

??verse!Inka: <...Of all things you, somehow...>

-She stiffens and roars-

??verse!Inka: <...managed to survive!>

-She scouts around and notices certain other two Fuuma and Seishirou, and narrows her eyes at them-

??verse!Inka: <...What... And what aberrations are you now seeking to commit?> -- to Garchomp!Seishirou and Flygon!Fuuma: <I'll deal with you later!>

-She turns back to the Jerk Dragons, and charges to close her distance to them all while readying a flechette of Poison Stings-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Dragon Airship (?)

-The dragons manage to avoid or block most of the attacks, so Inka prepares to leap, but is distracted when the other Seishirou tackles the Jerk one; her attention taken away for a moment, she doesn't manage to guard before the Flamethrowers from the dragons go around.-

-Screaming, she is pushed back a fair distance and crashes against a support beam; as she recovers, she notices the other Pokémon attacking the dragons, and casts a [Helping Hand] for grabs as she recomposes herself for battle-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Dragon Airship

-As the attacks on the dragons continue,, Inka scoffs at the call Seishirou(?) made for her; she just growls back at him-

??verse!Inka: <Bah, power you say. Didn't save you from being slain last time... or, as it seems, that other time.>

-She turns to the support beam she had crashed against and with a Double Kick she dislodges it from the rest of the structure, causing some ruckus. As she tackles the the support beam for it to fall down, she grabs it by one end and hurls it at height aimed at Seishirou and Fuuma, trying to give time for the Flygon with the colorful voice and other Pokémon around to get clear. Just to make sure, she also shoots an [Ice Beam] as a distractor-

-Just as this happens, a Haxorus has broken into the fight and calls Inka out for a fight-

??verse!Inka -turns to see: <...Another one. The arbiter was right, you'll have to be stopped, hard!>

-As she has just launched some attacks in another direction, Inka is left without momentum to attack, and instead attempts to roll into position to take the Dragon Claw; the attack harms her and pushes her backwards a short distance, and she falls to all fours for a moment, raising her spikes as she tries to come back with a [Poison Jab]-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Dragon Airship(?)

-After being kinda absent from the battle for a short while due to recoil from attacks and, more importantly, Bahahkun's Shipquake shaking the entire structure and forcing Inka to stay her balance,

??verse!Inka -to the Haxorus: <At least you know how to punctuate your words. Better than the two ingrates at least. Speaking of...>

-Inka hops back to gain an away from Bahuhkun and then summons a new Water Pulse, she turns to see the two Flygon fighting for a oment, notices the moment they get separated and launches her attack at an angle at Fuuma(?), hoping to avoid hitting the other Flygon on the way-

-That done, she huffs and turns to the Haxorus, she rushes at her for a Double Kick-

??verse!Inka: <Now, let's see if you move better than them two...>

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Dragon Airship (?)

-Inka has taken advantage of the momentum imparted by the Double Kick landed on Bahahkun to fall back a short distance for safety. As she does, she notices one of the two dragons she was after once, now is open to take a good hit, and decides the moment is now as good as ever-

??verse!Inka: <Ah! I was expecting this! We warned your kind, you wouldn't scratch us off!>

-And she instantly charges after Seishirou; when she's a short distance from him she leaps up and swings a Sludge Bomb right at the dragon's back, hoping to aim on a spot the dragon would not be able to shake the poison off easily.-

-As she lands, however, she has her back turned to Bahuhkun who has charged at Inka with a Dual Chop; the first hit lands squarely on her back and sends her tumbling, and she flinches becoming unable to respond; the second hit might as well come as Inka's down and curling-

Re: Silentposts [currently: the Wedding 2020]

Dragon Airship (?)

-As Bahuhkun is dealing with attackers of her own, Inka manages to roll out of the way, closer to the place where Seishirou and Fuuma are still fighting. Grunting in pain, she rises and starts to focus her energy-

Suocéverse!Inka: <You... you are going to be done here as well! I can see in no world whatsoever will we suffer you!>

-She starts emanating large amounts of Ground-type energy, which swirls around and gathers into five small orbs; as she signals the orbs with a motion of her paw, the orbs submerge on the ground near the Garchomp...-

-...and then they start exploding into pillars of energy all around the dragon-

Concurrence: Earth Power

??verse!Inka: <Your claim on this world is loose now!>

-As Seishirou and Fuuma are finished off by the work of various joint players, Inka huffs and congratulates herself for a work well done.-

-She notices the dragon that looked like Seishirou give her a salute; she decides to salute back, still wincing in a bit of pain; however, right after that she focuses again on that Garchomp and Flygon and tries to save face by appearing though; with an "my eyes on you" gesture, lets them know that, at least in her own universe, she is always watching-

-Presumably just before the group is whisked away to their next battle-

Dragons Defeated

-Inka looks around and notices the still remaining Fuuma and Seishirou that she gave the warning to before, and, feeling a bit confused, decides to just shrug it off for the moment. Instead, she focuses on looking around for any Pokémon or person she can recognize-

Suocéverse!Inka: <Well... I don't know well why I landed here, none of you is reeally familiar to me... but since the dragons' claim was a threat in this place too...>

-She goes grab some loose loot from the fight-

<I'll say you peoplemons be careful. I thought once the threats to my world were ended yet they lingered on, and I sense it is the same here.>

CU, the Midnight Stage (Past)

-Following from the chain of posts (here, here and here)-

Silent, who was totally, certifiably there all along albeit late as usual, stands among the back crew -after all, his usual thing is support. He looks around as everyone starts donating energy at Meldel's call-

"...Disco? And I thought I was old school. Okay, these kinds of things do get weirder by the month." -- focuses for a moment -- "But if it helps..."

-Using his mask coin, as told by Mendel offscreen, he summons Al'mi'raj, now evolved into its form of Ometochtl, and the masked figure swings and swirls his spear around for a moment as he starts sending the required energy; despite the lack of familiarity on Silent's side of things (I swear), the figure does manage to move and swing at the rhythm of the old disco days-

-Mendel announces everything is ready for the teleport. As the main group dismisses their Pokésonas, Silent becks Ometochtli to his side, just in case; he takes a look at the group and sighs at idea of teleporting-

"Let's see how this kind of teleporting is. Haven't tried anything new since Dintel got that weird idea of somehow getting Shardported..."

-With that, Silent is THWEEEP'd with the others...-

-Silent is among the group of people brought to the lower platform; he looks around for a moment not recalling much of what is going on, though then he hears this is the new form of Archimedes, as it is revealed when the performers turn around to look at and beyond the stage-

"...Wow. I suddenly feel like in a MMO style Final Fantasy boss battle. We might have some trouble if the conditions of this battle were to change..."

-He then mentally readies himself to follow the instructions that were practised offscreen, turns to Ometochtli to wave him a go-

"Okay time to see if skipping arts and crafts during high school amounted to something..."

The Dance Floor, Past (!!)

-The music goes and the party rages as the various Dancers perform for (or rather, against) Mikuratana-no-Kami. Silent, busy on the backstage, guides Ometochtli on how to perform various sound effects and visual effects aided with the abilities of the Pokésona figure, mostly making use of the poisonous daggers for chimes, and of various attacks for splash effect-

"...This is probably the most unorthodox fight I've been on yet, guys!"

-And as the battle ends, with the monster disappearing into a golden shower, Silent goes around the backstage crew, offering warm handshakes to whoever wants them. It has certainly been a performance...-

-Silent ascends to the main stage to watch the end of the fight, turns to Ren and Mendel-

"A good work up here, though I do wonder... Say... are the other fights be going to be like... this?"

-Silent bows and notices the double-bladed weapon and the divine light-

"I guess we have father Bhunive-I mean, er, Izanagi-no-Okami, our most gracious host, for this... benediction. Though I hope you understand that I'd rather not have to need it. Like, again." -- fumbles with his hair somewhat uncomfortably. "Maekrite and Algira are going to have a field day with this. Sol, too."

-turns to Mendel as Izanagi disappears-

"So, I take from this that this creature has been breadcrumbing the way for us all along? Where do things go from now on?"

-paces around for a moment, thinking, and only cursorly manages to catch Ren's current drift.

-Completely (completely) absentmindedly-

Akala, Alola, I swear

-Silent, who is totally in Alola, I swear, is totally chillaxing by a route in Akala. In fact he is busy taking a nap under a dtree while at a short distance Copahue, Harriet and Shahinne ate doing small talk with some Trumbeak and Pikipek-

Shahinne♀: <...And that's why pointy beaks are objectively better~> ^.^

Wild Trumbeak -looks at the other birbs around: <...But I'm supposed to evolve...>

Harriet♀ -sighs: <...Well, you can enjoy who you are in the meantime...>

-While that is happening, Silent's modified Pokégear phone rings with a group call from Ren. Since Silent is just getting awake, Maekrite is the one to climb back from head and poke him awake so that he takes the call-

"Hmmmm.... why can't people pick sane hours for calls..."

-Yawns, then takes the call-

"...Group call from Renard. I'll take it something new is happening."

Maekrite♂: <...While you are on talking with the others, why don't you get us some fights?> - pokes Silent's ribcage - <I'm bored of fighting Yungoos and Stuffuls...>

"Maybe later. Maybe" - takes the call.
