The grey clouds finally part to reveal the side of a snow capped mountain. “Hey!” Jeremiah says to the group. “Looks like we made iiiit!~” His voice is hard to hear over the rushing wind.
As you approach, you notice an oddly shaped cavern, its entrance jutting out from the blanket of snow. The mountain top looms over head while Flygon and Charizard safely descend the rest of the way. There is ample room by the entrance, enough to safely disembark and catch your breaths.
Moving to advance into the cavern, you all feel a new sense of unease. As if it were seeping from the mountain itself. The tension thickens as you notice age worn gashes along the first section of the cavern. Something had broken through in a time long forgotten.
Gradually the snow thins the further along you go. The wide cavern walls now appear smoothed out. It even begins to feel slightly warmer; just enough for the snow to melt and form puddles, with hanging stalactites above them. The howl of the mountain has given way to the occasional dripping of water.
Passing around a gradual bend, what faint light that came in from the caves entrance fades to black. “Just a little further, and we’ll have light again.” Jeremiah reassures.
Continuing on, a subtle illumination grows in brightness from around the pools of water. “See, but I wouldn’t get too close,” Jeremiah cautions.
You eventually come to a spit in the path. Three identical passages diverge before you. Jeremiah gestures to the farthest left path, just as a group of zubats fly overhead from the middle tunnel.
The rhythmic sound of dripping water begins to be drowned out by the sound of swelling running water. Passing another bend of stalagmites, a waterfall comes into view. The path splits once again at the base of fall. A couple of Seels lounge by the edge of the water.
Confidently Jeremiah leads you closer to the waterfall. “This is it. I think we made Nadar and Jas eat our dust, ya dig?” The Seels waddle closer to greet the group. “Don’t mind them.” Jeremiah says as he passively pets the Seels before stepping up to and through the waterfall. After a moment, Jeremiah's hand reemerges, beckoning you to follow.
It is a short distance through the waterfall before you find yourselves in a more familial, manmade extension of the cavern. As you go further in, the cavern walls change to the familiar texture of man made stone work. Subtly the tunnel itself had become the passageway of a castle, with faded tapestries lining the walls.
A large oaken door waits slightly opened at the end of this hallway. Carefully, Jeremiah presses against the door until it is open. Inticiate designs are carved into the door. Most of the details have been worn.

Tully notices three things as they walked:
The couple of Seel have been following them ever since the group entered the area where the water is abundant. The mountain showed entrance wounds.
The path you take is similar to an underground entrance to a castle. Most often used for smuggling. The side of the mountain has entry wounds, as if something from a fairytale was nesting within this ruin and a tombstone of a castle is built on top this burial.
The shards Tully carries in his pocket have merged into a larger piece and feels like it's reacting positively to whatever lies further within. Shifting like a cradle.

"Wouldn't be so sure of that. Mountain has entry wounds - he's probably already here."

"This was here in a time before me and you." Jeremiah reassures. "Won't hurt to watch our step though."
Beyond the door lies, what appears to be a large waiting room. An unlit fireplace lines nearly the length of one wall. Another wall is covered in decorative tapestries of faded colors. And, across from this are a cluster of chairs with corresponding side tables.
Stepping further in, you notice one table has a used plate and half filled glass, next to an open book resting on the corresponding chair.
Taking a further step closer, you feel the unsease from before grow in intensity, as if the source is emitting from beneath you.
In this moment, one of the tapestries bulge from the wall. You can see a tear forming jaggedly across the dull purple thread, before exploding outward with hurling chunks of the wall. Through the debris a monsterous Samurott comes charging in. With a deep growl, the Samurott strikes out with its sharp horn at Jace’s knee.
Roll acrobatics (with advantage due to Tully's warning) to evade the attack from Samurott, or any skill roll necessary.

As the Samurott goes for his knee, Jace pushes the two of them apart, causing him to slide slightly across the floor. Thinking fast, Jace released Breloom in between him and the Water-type pokemon.
"Good thing we were watching our step," Jace joked about the near destruction of one of his legs.

Samurott Speed: 24 Samurott shifts back and hisses at Breloom. He continues his charge, but at Breloom's torso.
Jeremiah inspects the book left in the chair. Paying no attention to the fight. "No signs of struggle..."

Seeing Samurott turn on Breloom, Jace quickly pulled him out of the way of the attack. With a little distance between him and Samurott, Breloom unleashed a barrage of Bullet Seeds, hoping for a super effective hit. Jace uses Kinesis to save Breloom from the attack
Breloom uses Bullet Seed, it hits 2 times

Samurott is pushed back into a bookcase. Stacks are falling in numbers as Breloom pelts the attacker. Some books are ripped apart in the process.
"And how does someone like you find this place, Jace Synod?"
A sword points from another door within the room. Jack quickly enters with his battle stance. His eyes are fixated on the three of you. Samurott awaits for Jack's response.

"Jeremiah flew us here. We wouldn't have come if it wasn't an emergency," why was he doing all of the talking? Shouldn't Jeremiah be saying something before Jace got skewered? "Nadar and company are heading this way."

Jack does not falter from Jace's excuse. "So you ran back with your tail between your legs, Jeremiah?" His eyes shift alone to get the man in his view. Jeremiah sips on the unfinished drink.
"Or... Knowing full well Nadar is coming any moment, you still try to stand against him until the end?" Samurott walks away from Breloom, knowing the answer already. "Like some fool I know, I will chose the latter." Jack says while lowering his guard.
He walks while he talks beckoning everyone to follow him. "As you've perceived, this was a castle full of life many years ago. It was built on top ruins of the Creation Trio, if you're aware of them. Something urged Giratina to destroy this place, once the damage was dealt, Arceus banish Giratina to his realm."
After the exposition, Jack stops at and leaves no time for questions."Since you're here that means you have something worth my time."

Sana is not sure what or how to answer the members of the Paradiso, who are brimmed with arrogance and disregard for their members. Paradiso begins to feel like an organization boiling with members who are inches from infighting.
She figures it is best to report the current unexpected progress. "Sorry, we were short-sighted. Nadar was about to be stopped when everyone never anticipated Nadar's underling, Jasmine is after Mew's power too. He is coming after your boss at this moment." Sana decides not to expose their plan to stop Jasmine.

Jack turns in shock. His pale green eyes scan the door behind him. "Our mission now is to protect this door. At least once all the shards have gathered in these ruins! Jeremiah and I will be on the front lines. Who knows where they could pop up,"www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mzFdB_5j-E&index=1&list=PLPOp7P0SeIl7RHgBcBjCv2cEYy4eR0XOOA tune seduces the group to look towards the door they exited the caverns from. A Lapras sings for all to hear, only to be silenced less than a moment later. The halls echo what once was.

Jace released Breloom in the front of the room. "Breloom, hold the front lines with them. Ace, stay here with us in case something gets through." They were here, and they were coming fast. There was no time to set up a better defense, but Jace does put up a Barrier in front of the door.

Two groups of boots tread over the puddle of blood.
"If he didn't know before he definitely knows now," Nadar cautions Jasmine.
Jasmine walks in abundance. His Kabutops appendage transforms into more of a human shape, sheathing them into his pockets. "I have this weird feeling in my chest, oh right. I dropped the Palkia shard by the way." He digs into his chest and takes out the second to last Dialga shard. The chest wound starts healing before Jasmine can throw it to his partner.
"...This is what I'm talking about." Nadar puts the shard in his pocket. The pokemon they come across bow and retreat in terror.

Tully observes the two walking side by side. They do not make foot prints in the ground nor when they walked over Lapras' blood. Thanks to his time around Gengar and Kowai, he knows they are using the phasing ability.

Tully grimaces in his hiding spot. Ideally, he should let the others know, but he can't risk revealing himself. Swallowing silently, he hopes the other will be able to keep them occupied for long enough. Plus, while he's not in any way up on how phasing works, he knows they can't sustain it forever. Sooner or later, they'll become solid and that's when he can strike. Taking a knife in one hand and the ball in the other, he starts weighing them, getting used to the weight Tully uses Take Aim, boosting accuracy by 1

The two arrive at the castle hall door, exiting from Jack's study room, Jasmine steps into the hall only to be greeted my Samurott and Flygon's long ranged attacks. Jas turns out unfazed, but the obscuring dust creates an opportunity for Jack and Jeremiah to come in close and strike. Jeremiah is blocked by Nadar and Jack manages to cut into Jas' arm, getting his blade stuck in the process. The halls echo from the contact of steel hitting steel.
"It really pisses me off that not one of you realize my power! Me, a crowned GOD!! I was only planning on killing Jack here along with the boss." He looks as the blonde man fails at getting his sword out. Energy begins to charge up in his palm.
"Where's the third kid? Smart enough not to come?" Jasmine says his attacking hand nears Jack's chest.

"Something like that." Tobias says, keeping towards the back. "As long as there are some of us out there and alive, there's a chance we can think of a way to beat you."
"After all," he continues as he starts his psychic static, "having all this power didn't stop Mew from being usurped, did it?"
In his hiding spot, Tully sprays the first X-Accuracy on himself.

Jasmine speaks, "Jasmine was nothing more than a mosquito on Mew. That's why it didn't destroy him once its job was done."
Jack lets go of the sword and motions to back up from the attack. But the Being beyond reason aims it toward Jace, Sana, and Tobias. But firstly Breloom.
"I'll have Nadar put your heads on display for your friend. Step aside."
The air burns and screams as a white beam boils from his palm.
Breloom roll acrobatics to evade the attack.

Jace thought it likely that Jasmine had every movement capability imaginable. Fortunately, Jace knew a move that would take all of them away from him. Once he was no longer phasing, Jace could Lift him off the ground, making him an easy target.
When Jasmine attacked Breloom, he had to move fast. Jumping out of the way, Breloom narrowly avoids certain doom.
