And once more, the flames wash over Holly, light arcing to the Raticate as it gets more and more angry, flaring up with energy. It jumps for Habenaro, the Quilava only being saved by Six's flaring of energy. The fire rodent gets yanked off, the trees trying to subject him to the same fate as his Trainer, but he manages to break free of the vines at the last minute. Theo is not so lucky, however, as the vines next to him reach out once more, ensnaring him next to Cole, as the vines tighten on them both, making it harder to breathe. Thankfully, the constriction's mostly slow, so there's still time to get out... Holly, meanwhile, moves worldessly up into the brush, lining up, before unleashing her glow and launching a beam of energy from her hands, hitting Keahi - which leaves plants beginning to grow on the Salandit, starting to burrow into her, leaving her weaker to that kind of energy - and Six. Luckily, both of them are of Types well-prepared to handle this. The Raticate seems to agree, darting to strike again at Six while they're still reeling from the last attack, not letting up until the eggs lay unconscious on the ground. "Try as you might," Holly says, "you will not win. Burning a forest down only makes it come back stronger. You might as well just give up now. Succumb to the vine's embrace. It will be... less painful, for you."
Raticate takes 2 injuries and is Staggered and Burned from Flame Wheel. Raticate is on its last HP Bar. Raticate gains +1 CS in all stats, as well as +1 Accuracy, Evasion, and Critical range. Raticate is hit by Ember.
Habanero takes 15 damage, from Crunch. Staying alive from Reflect. Raticate delays until initiative 6. Habanero is Threaded, and Grappled by T4, but succeeds on the opposing roll. Theo is Grappled by T3. Theo takes 1 Damage and -1 Speed CS from Constrict. Cole takes 4 damage and -1 Speed CS from Constrict. Keahi takes 10 damage from Solar Beam, and is inflicted with Overgrowth. Six takes 18 damage and an injury from Solar Beam. Six takes 58 damage, 2 injuries, and Faints from Assurance. (Or 39 damage, 1 injury and Faints with Reflect.) Map

Theodore doesn't struggle against the vines assailing him. It would be a waste of energy when all he needs to do is speak regardless. Talking tough when the cards were down was how you won. The flop hadn't been in their favor, and Six was scattered about, exhausted. One hand pulled the vines clear of his throat, the other going through the process of getting six to safety and releasing his next guardian. "Fred, need you to give that rat what for or today's gonna be mighty unpleasant."
The hound nodded regally before bounding after the Raticate. With a feint, baiting an attack, the dog went for an impressive reversal!
(Shift action to swap Six for Fred, Standard to apply Brutal Orders. Fred closes with Raticate and uses Reversal)

Unfortunately, the day looks to be mighty unpleasant, as the Rat manages to dodge the attack, before delivering a huge chomp with its fangs on Fred. It then leaps over to Habanero, though isn't able to connect thankfully, given that the Quilava seems to be on mostly its last legs. Fred misses with Reversal. Fred takes 62 damage, 2 injuries, and Flinches from Superfang. (Or 31 damage and Flinches with Reflect.) A critical hit! Raticate misses with Crunch.

Kai gives an honest glare at the woman, feeling very annoyed at her for just running out here and judging them, without even giving them a chance. Fine, she wanted to prove the superiority of nature against fire? she can have it. "Fine, Keahi, Just poison her 'land', you can't grow anything after that!"Keahi gives a confused tilt, taking a second to process what he meant before marching into the brush to fire a blast of poison at Holly, giving the plants and ground a good soaking of poisonous smog as well as trying to get her.

Cole manages to free his mouth for a moment, biting through a vine before screaming out " This is it Hab, one last hit. ERUPT INTO FLAMES" His final call is interrupted by a cough as the air is choked out of his lungs once more by the vines as they tighten their grip The same white fire burned around Habenero, the flames dancing around him even more than before as he put every last bit of his energy into the strike, rushing forward at full speed. For a moment it looked like he was aiming for the Raticate that was next to him but he dodged past it and went straight for Holly Cole uses Brutal Training as an order as a priority action
Habenero shifts next to Holly, but has Run Away so it doesn't provoke Attacks of Opportunity

"Be careful," Holly says, chuckling, even as she winces from the fire actually hitting her and burning away several of her dress' leaves, "Because you might find if you poison what provides for you... you'll regret it." She twirls around, a barrage of petals formed from energy repeatedly striking at Habanero and Keahi, putting Habanero down. Holly looks mighty pleased with herself, and turns towards Cole, locking a sharp gaze on him. "You're right. It was a last hit. For him. And Barry will put down that little lizard." The Raticate obliges, slamming into Keahi with far more force than was necessary, finally putting her down for the count. The tree that had captured Cole and Theo snakes towards Fred, too, vines pulling the fiery dog in, before binding him tight against the trunk, the three stuck fast, vines still curling in upon them. Cole seems to be taking the worst of it, the other two a bit more durable. Raticate delays to I6. Habanero takes 22 damage, an injury, and Faints from Petal Dance. Keahi takes 22 damage from Petal Dance. Keahi takes 58 damage, 3 injuries, and Faints from Zen Headbutt. Fred is Threaded and Grappled by T3. Theo takes 3 damage and loses 1 Speed CS from Constrict. Cole takes 7 damage and loses 1 Speed CS from Constrict. Fred takes 1 Damage and loses 1 Speed CS from Constrict.

"Gettin' awful tired of your rhetoric lady..." Fred was caught up next to him, and there wasn't a lot of hope for either of them getting out of this jam. He still had Belle, for what she was worth. One more go, even though things were looking bad, and the chips were down. Her Pokeball shot north and popped open. "Need you to make a run for it, and give that rat what'fer... not doing in a good way! Do yer best." Theodore called out between bouts of choking and wrestling with vines.
Long Shot on Belle as a Standard, released as a Swift. Belle moves, and uses Confusion at 12 Range for bonus damage.

Kai let out a shout when he saw Keahi go down. This woman was plain evil, claiming to be an ally of nature but striking down Pokemon just as cruelly as people. "You... You're horrible!" He returned Keahi as fast as he could, not wanting the woman to hurt Keahi further When Kai saw Belle aiming for the Raticate, he decided he needed to help even the odds. "Coronet, Assist with Raticate!" And out came the Alolan Vulpix, landing behind the Raticate Coronet: 11

Cole still couldn't talk as he choked on the vines. Habenero went down and was a bit too far for him to reach with his Pokeball, so he would have to stay out for the time being. His eyes burning hot with rage, Cole looked between Holly and the Raticate before letting his Vulpix loose next to the giant rat, hoping that she might last a bit longer than he expected Vulpix is on initiative 12

"I'm horrible?" Holly laughs, mockingly. "Take a look in the mirror sometime, and reflect on what humans have done to the land. To the Pokémon. To everything that's not themselves. And all without a hint of remorse."Surrounded by enemies, the Raticate is able to get hit by Belle's blast, the psychic attack causing a burst of rainbow energy to erupt out of the rat and then fade, as it seems to return to normal (in size and bulk), falling unconscious on the forest floor. Holly hisses, before seeming to glow with multicoloured light of her own. It seems that the fight isn't quite over yet. Raticate Faints from Confusion.

Once more biting through the vines, Cole yelled out to the Vulpix " Alright Cayanne, I'm gonna need you to saute this bitch!" The name felt right for the Vulpix, especially because of how much she reminded him of Habenero, just a trouble maker in a different way. The Vulpix stands in place, confused for a moment before realizing that Cole was calling out to her. With a trill in acknowledgement, she fires off a small flame at the woman. Cole uses Brutal Training as a priority orders
The Vulpix, now named Cayanne, uses Ember with a 5 vs AC 2 for 30 Special Fire damage

Kai gives orders to Coronet, this was the first battle so he hopes it goes well. "C-coronet, Try and freeze that forest witch!"Coronet looks startled, tripping backwards and firing a blast of snow into the sky, Kai couldn't blame him, this situation was certainly something to be startled by...

Cayenne's fire manages to make contact with Holly, causing her to curse, and pat it out, the damage sticking for once. The woman retaliates with a glowing leaves that home in on the fox, burrowing in and causing moss to begin growing on the Vulpix's fur. Holly takes an injury from Ember. Powder Snow misses.
Cayenne takes 14 damage from Magical Leaf and is affected by Overgrowth.

Theodore had already said all he'd needed to, to inspire his Pokemon. Now it was just a matter of not getting choked out before Holly finally succumbed to her wounds. Theodore didn't like fighting girls, not like this, but they were talking some kill or be killed shit here, and not a lot made a lick of sense. He hoped Evelyn would be okay. Belle gains benefit of Trick Shot (Theodore's Standard), moves closer to Holly, and uses Confusion. m2MCz9VN1d20-2 Confusion Vs. Druid 2d6+25 Psychic Special Damage 2d6+10 CRITICAL HIT!

The psychic blast hits Holly square on, causing her to cry out and glow brighter... until a burst of rainbow light shoots out, hanging in the air above her like an aurora. Still clearly in pain, she holds one of her arms out in front of her, hand splayed... until a small, green, stone tablet, about the size of a playing card, suddenly appears from inside her arm. It falls to the ground, and shatters into hundreds of pieces of various sizes, the shards greying quickly. At that, the trees and plants all begin to dissipate, slowly vanishing as Holly falls to the ground, unconscious, next to her Raticate. The flowers in her hair are all gone, as is the dress of leaves. She's simply an ordinary-looking woman wearing a fairly worn Ranger's uniform. Around the group, people can be seen, waking up after apparently having been slumped to the ground. Petalburg City is coming back alive, clear of the thick vegetation once more. The damage from the plants still remains, though, sidewalks cracked, buildings showing signs of where vines were, and so forth. The heat coming from the Trainers' bags or pockets seems to have cooled down. A familiar voice rings out from nearby, as Evelyn comes stomping back, no longer trapped by vines. She seems to be quite angry, rattling off a myriad of words regarding Holly that should not be repeated in polite company. Each of you can take 2 TXP, and 250 EXP to split between your 'mon.

Kai let out a sigh of relief, it was over and... apparently they had saved the town? That was... certainly a new experience for him. Disregarding that, he was worried about Keahi, but she should be fine as long as he keeps her in her ball... He looked over the group that had gotten tied to a tree, offering help if they needed any still, though with how the vegetation was letting off he doubted they needed any help. "Um... Anyone have a clue what that was? Cause I sure don't!"

"Search me." Theodore rumbled between coughs, rubbing his throat. He sounded like he was talking through a mouthful of gravel, he sort of liked it, it was his aesthetic after all. Getting choked to get there wasn't ideal. With his arms free, he went digging in his pockets for whatever it was that had been getting so hot during their trek through the city. That bit of weirdness over, a rematch with the girls might have to wait. Most of their Pokemon were in a bad way.
"We'll have to ask Holly when she comes around, it's a head scratcher fer sure though." Belle joined him and gently tugged at his pantleg, pointing at the downed woman and making a soft, melodic sound. "You wanna help? Well... Alright, just be careful.". He left her go about her business.

Cole couldn't speak right away, so much of his energy having been spent struggling with the vines. He walked over and quietly recalled his Pokemon, petting Cayanne as he put her away as well.
"Theodore, you got any rope?" Cole called out. In movies and games and stuff they always tied up the villain, that way they couldn't sneak off or anything. "And uh...Evelyn...are you alright?" He sounded surprisingly worried about the girl, not quite what would be expected based on how he normally talked to her.

Digging around, though it's only barely warmer than he would expect at this point, the heat seems to have been coming from his Key Stone. With it nearly cool once more, and the aurora above fading, the only real remnants of the conflict here are the grey stone shards, and the impact to the city.
Finally stopping her tirade, or at least subsiding into muttering, Evelyn says "A little sore from being yanked around and almost suffocated, but it doesn't seem like there'll be any lasting damage." She walks up to the woman laying on the ground, glaring. "Lucky for her."
With the Ralts at her side, and a short time, the woman on the ground begins to stir. She seems confused, looking around, not seeming to register her surroundings at first, looking over at the Raticate, and then around to everyone looking at her. "Huh?" Holly asks, disoriented, trying to get up into a sitting position. "Who... are you all? What happened? Did I... faint or something?"

"Probably no need for that." Theodore waved the other boy off with the mention of rope after Holly started to come around. Squatting beside her, he picked up one of the gray shards.
"You remember a green chunk of stone, square-ish, by any chance miss? Cause you just pulled a number on Petalburg as a whole. Ain't seen nothing like it, sakes alive."
