The horizon is divided by the light of Dialga and Palkia. Their roars are boom from the far side of the Earth. The last thundering heard before Mew disappears into the world without remorse, forsaking the group to whatever is in store for them. The Pokedex chirps and whirls as it too struggles to make sense of what Jas has become. The villain complies with Jace's action. Waiting in unbearable anticipation. *DING* Mew: The New Species Pokemon. Mew is said to possess the genetic composition of all p...
The Pokedex warms up, the screen displaying Mew turns static as if a regular program was cut short to bring an urgent announcement. Bulbasaur: The Seed P-, Ivys-, Ven-...
The Pokedex rapidly shifts through every Pokémon it can find, just to please Jasmine when he begins laughing at the sky. He sways around like the lonely man after a long night at the bars. -------------------------------------------------- The trio are paralyzed by their instinct to not fight Jasmine as he is now. Nadar doesn't take any actions yet, instead he just looks dissatisfied at his comrade. A post-grenade pain rings in the group's ears as everyone's brain attempts to figure out a way to stop Jasmine, but every result leads to death or something worse. No one wants to start that one way ticket. The ringing stops at the middle of Jas' speech. "---I wish I could read whats in your head, boy, but I can find all I want to know with that look on your face!" His Swanna wings turn into a black ichor, absorbed back into his body. The leans and cups the side of his mouth with his hand, whispering in secrecy. "You three are in luck. Some people are volunteering to help me get the hang of my god powers. Observe..." Their gaze towards Jasmine is overpowered by Tatsumaki and Natasha leaping behind him. Both are splattered in blood. They wonder if it is theirs or not, but Tatsuamki looks more twisted and malicious than a hurricane. Across from her, Natasha looking fearful, yet relieved, loads up a thunderbolt in her hand. The combination of ire and dread launch their attacks. Before anyone else can make a movement, the wind whispers in Jace, Tully, and Sana's ears. "Quite an interesting development arose. Get back to Jeremiah and the others. We will hold both of them off here so no need to look back. Thank you, I'm sure everyone tried their hardest. "A cloud of debris caused by the impacts sweeps over the area. The sound of clinging steel vibrates through the air as the dust is cut into pieces by a divine steel gale. The blood of the two women flies as a result of their bodies being cut vertically by Jasmine acquiring blade-like appendages on his forearms. Unscathed by their attacks, he takes note of his weapons. Their bodies fall across from him; already unresponsive, blood slowly runs downhill near Tobias, Chance, Jace and Gurner."Warmup over. Lets go, Nadar." He turns his back. The three notice his back bubbling when Salamence wings erupt and cover the scene. After a small bicker between the two Nadar weakly scrambles to Jasmine's back. Before they leave, Jas turns around with a benevolent warning."We're off to kill the Boss. If you three get in our way again. I'll kill you with my full power. See you at the end of the current world." SCENE END: Pokemon gain 950 exp. Trainers gain 7 exp

Witnessing such terrifying visage one after another was too much for a girl who experienced only normalcy in her life. Sana eyes widen as her iris shrinks, in terror her arms were directed to cover her mouth but she fails, she experiences a panic attack and screams. She could barely resist from fainting from such traumatic experience, if it weren't for her Ruby persona, she might have lost consciousness.
Tatsumaki and Natasha, they need to be immediately evacuated. Magni moves the fallen to the nearest shelter where Hayate may be at, while Joy attends to them. Sana prepares her First Aid Kit, attempting to lighten Tatsumaki and Natasha's wound.

Tully breathes a brief sigh of relief at having survived this first encounter with... that thing, but his mind is already going through possibilities of surviving the next.
There aren't many.
He looks around the battlefield before his eyes fall on Yvette's unconscious form. Making sure everyone else is distracted by recovering from the battle, he sidles up to her, picks up her hand and begins removing her shard from her nails.

Yvette's nails pop off without much of a struggle. The dulled pink polish is removed and is replaced by crimson as a sign that she is alive and slightly well.
The injured are placed on Magni's head as he moved under a tree next to Hayate. He looks up at the already clear skies to make sure Jasmine and Nadar are surely gone. Magni feels a new weight added on. Sana checks over Magni and spots the luggage. Chance wasn't the only one resurrected by Jasmine's aura that spilled along the ground. Gurner, who has also awakened, tolds tight to Magni. "I... I'm so close to my goal. That's why I was left here... He whispers to himself weakly. If it wasn't for Magni moving those two away from ground, Tatsumaki surely would've been in more trouble.
Jace's pokedex rings...

Awestruck, Jace did not move from where he initially stood, not that he could have escaped if he tried. It wasn't even the carnage around him, it was the complete and total failure that they had suffered. It was like watching a great work burn before the creator's eyes. They had come so far, finding victory in every battle, going all the way back to the heist. He had failed once before though, and Marietta paid the price for it. Now it was Tatsumaki and Natasha. If he was just a little stronger, or just a little faster, they may have lived.
None felt the pain of falling just short more than Ace, who hung his head in defeat. Having fallen literally short, the weight of their defeat fell most heavily on his shoulders. And if they couldn't have succeeded here, how could they possibly recover against the now almighty being that opposed them?
Jace didn't know what to say. He doesn't pick up his pokedex until it rings a second time. Flipping it open, he doesn't say anything, but waits for the caller to start.

"Jace, my boy!" The caller's voice sounds familiar to Jace. Holding the phone a few inches away from his ear might be helpful since the voice is gravely, short of breath, and on the edge on senile.
"This is Professor Spruce. It looks like you're doing well for yourself, judging by the data in your Pokedex haha! You've seen every named non-legendary Pokémon. Do you know how high of an accomplishment that is in the world!?"
Unaware of the current state of affairs, Spruce's voice raises in his appraisal of Jace.

"I guess," Jace says, still shell-shocked. "I must have gotten them all."

Professor Spruce continues. "Including you, only three people in the world have completed over 95% of their pokedex. The legendary Pokemon trainer, Red. Sir Nephereal, of Nexus' Elite Four, and now you."
"You probably could've caught more pokemon but, I guess that would take time you don't have. Because of science, we have the power to catch and mature Pokemon, but I won't get too into it. You must stop by the lab near Umbridge Town again when you have the chance. We have much to discuss! Spruce, outtie!!"

After the professor hung up, Jace let his arm fall to his side again, pokedex still in hand. "I guess we are going to go see the professor," he says. "Maybe he has a miracle or two hiding in his lab."

Living life for revenge. Dark stories with dark endings, protagonist or antagonist attaining their goal yet earn nothing from it. For a girl who dabbles in occultism, she senses lots of ghosts who had their revenge and end their life with nothing but sadness and misery. Gurner has now almost become the epitome of a protagonist who is about to achieve his vengeance and finds nothing in it. She knows nothing about Tatsumaki and Gurner's grudge but attempts to end his misery, and tries to pacify before she is forced to ask Magni to Thunderbolt him.
"Stop it, whatever you are planning to do now, you can't bring Bridgette back to life by shedding more blood." The magical girl pleads with the weakened man.

Gurner turns his head to see Sana standing above him. "To Hell with that." He spits. "Why is a schoolgirl siding with that monster. You don't know anything, revenge might not feel good, but it can stop anything else from happenin'."
Arm still attached to Magni, he turns his whole body around. Battered with knife and claw wounds he continues to talk to Sana. "Yeah, save your breath... Either she'll bleed out or I will..." He mutters.

Sana releases the fairy power binding her and returns to her normal self, as Ruby persona believes her normal self may convince Gurner more. "Listen, I know I have no idea what I got myself into, but you have to listen to me, your blind hatred is going to end nothing but creates more sadness. What would Bridgette think of this? Seeing her friend becoming miserable for her sake..." Sana pleads the wounded Gurner, his obvious wounds unnerves Sana enough to makes her think Gurner requires just as much medical attention as Tatsumaki.
Sana raises her first aid kit, no matter who is the enemy she never wants people to die. "I'm going to have to first aid you and Yvette, but you have to let them go."

"Since you see me as a man of integrity, I'll amuse you. This time." He says with a neutral tone. Gurner releases Magni and the Pokemon continues on its path. Yvette still lies unconscious with her leg in the ground.
Jeremiah, Roderick, and the masked man they call Five reach the post-battle summit. After observing the damage done to the Spire they walk past Jace without saying a word and direct their attention towards Sana.
"Whaaaat? They couldn't hold out for two minutes? We had to tie up those guys and cattle." The young Roderick casually says as he sees the women carried away. "Sana, you shouldn't be touching trash. Leave it for the maggots to take care of yeah?" It's hard for anyone to tell of he's joking or not.

Tully growls a little. "What the hell happened?! We did our part, kept everyone tied up down here! What happened to protectin' Mew?! You had one job!"

Roderick approaches Tully as his gaze sinks into his skin. "You saw what happened to us too! If we weren't so bunched together we could've done it. Our powers don't work well in big groups. Since I see you have a spine now I can show y-"
Jeremiah puts his arm in between his two comrades. He raises his hand to take fault. "Yeah, that was our mistake. Sorry, homie. Life throws its curveballs from time to time." He closes the distance to Tully and squats down near Yvette.
"Give me the 411 after Mew rolled up. Did Nadar mention where he was going?"

Even as a child, Roderick's childish insensitivity and callous attitude towards defeated enemies sends an unsettling shiver down to her heart. Sana does not dwell on it for long, she is very sure both sides have a reason to be at each other's throat, but anyone with medical knowledge has the duty to tend to the injured fast - foe or ally.
"Sorry, I'm not going to stand by and watch injured people suffer, they may be able to tell us something we don't know." Sana raises her tone, gambling on the off chance he will disclose something important. She opens her first aid case, and attempts to apply tourniquet on one of the more lethal areas of Gurner's wound.

Jeremiah didn't let what just happen affect him. Maybe it was just an act, or maybe it was just how he was, but Jace realized that's how he should be too. There was no time for moping or finger pointing. They had lost a battle, but they still hadn't lost the war. He took a deep breath, returned Lucario to his pokeball, and turned around.
"He said that he was going to kill the Boss," he says to Jeremiah. "I don't know where that is, or if they know where that is, but that's what they said." Jace didn't know how strong the Boss was, but he had to assume that nobody could stand against Jasmine. The pokedex's response chilled him even now.
But that made him think of the professor. "You probably could have caught more pokemon..." "I must have gotten them all."
That was it. That's how they were going to beat Jasmine.
While he had Jeremiah's attention: "Also, do you have access to a Master Ball?"

Gurner painfully laughs at Sana's judgement calls. "Like I understood what kind of batshit crazy plan they have. You can plan for the sky falling, but there's nothing you can do to stop Na-"
Jeremiah smiles wide. "If Jack is chilling with the boss then I can get us there. He's capable enough to hold the fort." He says while rummaging through is deep pockets.
The gym leader casually takes a purple-headed pokeball out of his pocket. The Master Ball. "Hell yeah. When I'm at Hayden City I like to bet this baby away when I lose all me monies and honies. I call it my Final Failsafe."
He drops the ray of hope back into his organized chaos of a pocket. "Not for sale, ya dig?" While fiddling with his shades

Tully raises an eyebrow, his anger forgotten as Jace's plan sinks in. "Final failsafe, huh? Well, a livin' god just got made and turned loose on the region so, seems to me, this is a fail that needs savin'."

Sana shakes her head, thinking Gurner misunderstood her question. "No, you were saying we don't know anything, you should tell me that?" Sana redirects the question.
