It has been a long journey, and a tense day. Since day one, it has been a clash against demons. They dashed through it all.
A betrayal that rallied. They dashed through!
Gurner's Attack. They dashed through!
An abhorrent family, testing the limits of his own nature. He dashed through!
Johann and Floydd's Attack. They dashed through!
Reunion! Bonds put to the test. In the end, someone important was left behind...
But the two gained something priceless. She dashed through!
At crossroads with god. They did the unthinkable. Without giving up, without being defeated, without changing course,
They wrestled it away!! VICTORY!!!
*CLICK!*
Time stops between the last wobble and the successful capture of Jasmine. The illusion on the ground fades back into rubble. Already wobbling, Nadar takes a step in Tully's direction, but Jeremiah has him on point. Stepping in his way.
"You can't dig it can ya, N?" Says Jeremiah, injured but enduring the pain to be stoic. Jack picks up his feet, traveling to the Master Ball, asking on his way there.
"Did he really cross the barrier between Man and Pokemon that much? Any deed I can do for you will never pay back the favor, but I'm sure our Boss can, very soon." Jack bends over to grab the pokeball.

Is everything finally over? Sana stared blankly at the end of the carnage, released from Jasmine's appendages she collapsed onto her knee like a rag doll cut from its string. She really thought she was about to share the same fate as Marietta. In the end, she was saved by Tully.
The lingering trauma, fear, and shock still surround the schoolgirl's fragile mind. Not having Ruby's persona to hide behind, she begins sniffing, tears falling down to her cheeks, and not being able to control them anymore, her tears start flowing like a waterfall. Sana cries... audibly, covering her face. "I... I'm scared..."

Tully raises an eyebrow. He isn't sure why Sana is so distraught but, having been to one to recruit her, he feels somewhat responsible for her wellbeing.
He walks up and puts a hand on her shoulder. "What's up? That thing's gone, that threat's gone. Somethin' else happen?"

"It's not over yet," Jace says, directing his attention to Nadar. Ace and Breloom follow suit, getting between Nadar and the Master Ball. "We've still got some loose ends to tie up." There couldn't be any details missed. No risks taken. They couldn't rest until they were certain that Jasmine was locked up for good.

Though Sana is still sobbing as a coping mechanism fror her accumulated fear and trauma, feeling Tully being there for her, she feels somewhat comforted, trying to speak while still sobbing. "I know... I know... Thank you."
Sana, however remains distraughted at not having her split personality beside her, for the first time since her first death. "Ruby... where are you...?"

Tully blinks a little. He's more than a little confused about what's going on with Sana and her... whatever it is. Thinking for a moment, he whispers, "Well, take a few moments. If you want, we can go somewhere private and talk 'bout it, if you don't want no one else to know what's goin' on... between you and her? Well, sit down for a bit, anyway."
Straigtening up, he turns back. "You got a point, J. He's contained, that don't mean he's gone forever."

Jeremiah takes out a metal rod. Gently scraping it against the floor to give off a menacing vibe. "We'd hate to rough you up. Maybe we can work somethin' out." He says with heavy breath.
Nadar stands motionless between Jace, Tully, and Jeremiah. Just by looking at him, it seems that the injuries he previously gained are gone and his power has increased seeing as Jeremiah was having a rough time with him. Nadar feels for his pockets.
Jack callously picks up the pokeball and examines the crack. He looks over to Sana and crouches down with her. "You study in the Magical Arts as well, am I correct Miss?"

Sana only nods to Jack's question.

youtu.be/PFLFsa1sYiA?t=20sJack's eyes make a sign of relief as he rolls the pokeball towards Sana's side. "Then you felt it. From beyond these battered doors," He stands in front of the destroyed door they were supposed to protect. "This fight has reached the pinnacle of pointless. The harbinger of darkness has reawakened. Now that the remaining shards have gathered once more to undo the seal." clyp.it/nyj03y1zThe roar came from above, it wraps you in its comfort. You eyes begin to fade into darkness, not even Pokemon with nightvision are within salvation. Maybe this was to protect them from the blissful nightmare. Thick darkness splashes out from the obscure room. The walls become eroded and the floor falls unbalanced as the black engulfs everything. You hear the landscape dying and morphing in something reborn. Your vision comes back and the world around you has given up on reality. The royal hallway is turned into a rust colored waste as it runs into a wall. But the path continues up in a spiral motion. Rocks jut out at many angles, the water from the caverns have risen and float on their own accord.Sana roll for Occult Knowledge

The Distortion World - an alternate dimension to the world and the home of Giratina. It is hauntingly beautiful, yet chaotic, enough to make Sana steel herself once again. Could this place be suppressing Ruby's persona? Sana has to push herself forward, no matter how much additional uncertainty she has regarding her surroundings.
Wiping off her lingering tears on her face, she remains kneeling, nervously taking the Masterball containing a dangerous being, while being inquisitive on their next course of action. One news comes to her mind, that Palkia and Dialga were killed. "This is the Distortion World... Did you mean Giratina? And we are holding the shards of Palkia and Dialga?"

"Giratina? You serious?" Tully asks before shaking his head and sighing. "Oh, course y'are. And he was I thinkin' that us stoppin' the bastard with god-powers mighta actually acheived somethin'. Shoulda known better by now."
He looks at Jack. "Anythin' we can do 'bout that, 'cept o' course stickin' our head 'tween our legs an' kissin' out asses goodbye?"

Jack stills his eyes aimlessly at the upward path. "Giratina is definitely a volatile being, but it is not our enemy." He clutches his arm and starts becoming a bit giddy. "He is The Boss' opponent. I'm starting to see why he wanted Giratina. The other two are sullied in comparison!"
Jack takes a few steps, confidently setting himself on the side of the wall. Gravity turns a blind eye as Jack's mid-back length, blonde hair is unfazed by this new angle. "This castle was built upon a gateway to the Distortion World. One of the triggers for it were the union of the TimeSpace Orbs. Apparently they never had to be whole, or even on the pedestal, just nearby to trigger these events."
With Tully averting his gaze on Nadar, the slim monster throws both hand up and walks toward Jace. "You want to see him too right? The Boss. How can you follow the orders of someone you've never seen before. I give up, see?" Nadar says while dangling his hand in the air. "Jeremiah should be interested to."

"I didn't need to be told to stop you to want to do it," Jace asserts. "But I am curious to see who this Boss is."
The odd shifts of the Distortion World were confusing at first, but Jace found that he could keep himself upright using telekinesis. Well, upright seemed a bit relative, but at least the world wouldn't be spinning. Jace looked around anticipating some horrible monster to strike at any moment.
Making sure that the Master Ball was safe, Jace and his pokemon move closer to Sana. "Don't think that we will forget about you, Nadar."

Nadar lets out a quick laugh. "You're so understanding, man. Nice that I got a guy like you by my side."
Jack steps away from the group. "If that's the case, the boss will rid of you himself. As for you three..." Hesitation catches him before continuing. "If you have something worth his time, I assume everything will be fine." The three of you feel some sort of confirmation from Jack as he walks back to what was his study room. The group takes off.
Upon scaling the new geography that is the Distortion World, the constant roars of Girantina above is increasing in volume, causing the islands to shake.
Someone roll perception
----------------------------------
Jace and Tully see nothing of interest, but the pokemon on the other hand do. They direct the trainer's attention to the far right side. A waterfall traveling up a cliff, perhaps one could call it, a waterlift? Then to the far left is a field of floating rocks. The distance between the gaps are few and far in between. Those two paths are definitely a clear shot to the foggy and centipede-like silhouette from where the group is. With a quick observation, it looks like the legendary dragon is in conflict.

Jace weighed his options carefully. He couldn't tell what was straight ahead, which was neither a good nor a bad thing, but in the Distortion World he didn't like the idea of taking chances. As for the reverse water fall, water wasn't exactly the team's strong suit, and his Water-type pokemon was the one out of commission. When he looked to the floating rock field, he actually found some advantages.
If he recalled correctly, Sana could fly, but maybe she couldn't in her current state. Tully would likely be able to maneuver the field easily, and could even find cover behind them. Recalling his time lifting rocks a few days ago, Jace saw them as potential weapons. All in all, it seemed most advantageous to go through the rock field.
"Let's go that way," he pointed towards the floating rocks. "I'd honestly like some giant boulders between me and the action."

Tully rubs the bridge of his nose to keep at bay the oncoming headache. "Look, I don't wanna seem dense or nothin', but this is real far above my paygrade an' I'd kinda like to know what's goin' on. We was fightin' the uberasshole, then the shards went wacky and sent us all into Dr Seuss's teen emo phase, far as I can tell. What are we doin' here, what are we supposed to be doin' now we are here and how the hell do we stop bein' here.

Nadar's eye's perk up. "Hmmm? Wellll." He motions to Jace. "Curiosity is killing your friend over here. I can feel his thirst for mystery!"
The demon moves swiftly over to Sana. "Once the big bad wolf blew those doors down, your lady friend wasn't feeling too hot. She might find the answer she seeks if you venture down the unbeaten path."
He throws himself on Jeremiah, who responds by knocking him over to the ground. "My game is lost. My companions share a fate worse than death. I request a stage with the Boss with literally nothing. He's cheated everyone here by staying in the shadows."
"If you don't empathize with your friends then you can hang out downstairs wi- OW!"
Nadar takes another strike from Jeremiah. "This is our only real chance to meet him, T. We'll just stay out of Girantina's way for now. It'll cause less attention if some of us branch out, ya dig?" He takes out Flygon and loads Nadar up. "I'm all ears for what you want to do."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to go toe to toe with Giratina," Jace assures. "We're just going to get a look. Boss aside, when will we get another chance to see a legendary?" This will actually only be the second legendary that they get to see in person, but two was better than one, right?

Did Nadar read her mind? She never wanted anyone to know her peculiar goal. However, one distant memory enters her mind, the day where she is squashed by a Moonstone and become a fairy. "I... I have find out, where Ruby is... and look for an exit." Sana gingerly asserts her plan. What lies beyond the Distortion World? That fear gradually turns into the same adventurous feeling back in the school trip, where she stubbornly decides to follow the flying Moonstone.
Is she going to find out who she truly is?

"Then we will find her together," Jace says. "But I have a bad feeling that she is that way." He points towards the action, through the field of boulders. As for how to get out of here, Jace didn't know, but with the Boss there was at least a sliver of a chance he can get them out of here.
