Polaris grunts as Aster horns her in the stomach, giving a bit of a stare (presumably a glare) at the deer. "Y'know," she says in a teasing tone, as Mica wraps her arms around her, "you're really sending mixed messages here. Aren't you supposed to accept the coffee invitation before getting to this point?" There's a sharp inhalation as Aster once again strikes. "Rude," she pouts, turning to the buck, "Can't you see that we're apparently having a moment here?"She looks back at Mica. "So inconsiderate, don't you think? Now, where were we? Ah, yes." She takes advantage of the close proximity to lean her head around and kiss Mica on the lips. She's able to feel it even through the velvety mask over Polaris' face, and it makes her go a little lightheaded and unable to concentrate on things. "Now, if you don't mind, I need to go and teach some people a lesson about interrupting personal time." She tries to wriggle out of the dazed Mica's hold. Polaris is hit by Horn Leech. Polaris is Grappled. Mud Shot misses. Polaris is hit by Jump Kick. Polaris uses Quick Wit to use Lovely Kiss. Mica falls asleep from Lovely Kiss, and takes a -3 Penalty to Save checks for 1 round from Powerful Motivator. 22 Opposed Grapple to Escape. Map

Mica's eyes flew wide at the contact, then slowly lidded as color flooded her cheeks. She had never been touched like that before, not by anyone. It felt so genuine and right, even though she knew this was what Polaris did to get her way. She tried to hold on, not to let the moment escape, but her eyes slid closed as Polaris slipped free.

Donovan watched as the Polaris kissed Mica and he sighed, even in his Pokemon form. Knowing Mica this would complicate things. But in the meantime he needed to act, and he needed to act fast. So once his breath was out with the sigh, he took in another, focusing on channeling that solar energy burning within him. Then he turned his attention back to Polaris and launched a serious of vines at her, aiming for a spot that his thorns had pierced before. OK So Donovan uses Growth for 2 Stages in Attack and Special Attack because he is in Sunlight.
Then he activates Encore Performance and uses Mega Drain on Polaris with a 16 vs AC 2 for 77 Special Grass Damage and he heals half

"Hey!" Polaris says, turning towards Donovan. "Again, rude!" Sha smacks Aster and tumbles over to kick the deer again - causing the 'mon to slump over - before springing around and landing on Donovan with a vicious stomp. "Look, I didn't want to hurt you, but you seem to be taking this a lot more seriously than I am. So, stay down, thanks."
Polaris takes an injury and is Staggered from Mega Drain. Donovan heals 32 HP. Aster takes 52 damage, 3 injuries, and Faints from Acrobatics. It's super effective! Polaris uses Quick Wit. Polaris hits Donovan with Taunt. Donovan is Enraged. Polaris uses Burst of Speed on Initiative 10. Donovan takes 55 Damage (45 after Temp HP) damage from Bounce.

Everything around Mica was bubbles and sparkles. Time had no meaning, her lips twitched and mumbled away the moments as a beautiful visage came into view. Polaris, Donovan, it didn't matter she just wanted to feel this loved and perfect forever. The object of her desires drew closer still.
It was neither. It was Ham. "QUAAAAAAAG!" Yelled Ham in delight. Mica's scream of surprise was only slightly louder and encouraged still more yelling.
Mica sleeps through her turn, Ham wakes her as a standard action.

"Hey, now, you stop that!" Polaris says, whipping around to face Ham. "That's just extraordinarily obnoxious. And you're upsetting her." She runs up towards the Quagsire, and gives him a good smack in the face, staring him down. The Quagsire doesn't seem to notice the stare, really. Ham takes 42 damage and 2 injuries from Acrobatics.

" Words, words, words. All you do is talk Polaris, but your words are meaningless!" Donovan yells, though no one around can understand him. The next moment, he threw a flurry of leaves towards Polaris, watching as they started to drift away on the wind before rounding back and slamming into her. Donovan uses Magical Leaf against Polaris for 69 Grass Special Damage but stays enraged

There's a deep chuckle from Polaris that Donovan could swear almost seems to be a response to him. But, she seems to mostly ignore him, instead trying to dodge as many of his leaves as she can - a mostly futile task - before smacking Ham some more to get him to just. Stop. Screaming. "Be quiet, okay? Geez!"Polaris activates Splash as an interrupt to gain DR against Magical Leaf. Ham takes 33 damage from Aerial Ace.

"My parents are gone too. Nothing is ever going to change that, all I can do is grow up to be the kind of woman they would have loved and respected. For you the end might justify the means, but I... Even if I could have them back... It wouldn't make me happy. I would always know I lost them. Would always know that someone was responsible for taking them from me." A steadying breath. "That was tame for Ham, he makes me smile. Ham, full volume." Mica pointed westward. "That way."
Repositioning, Ham inhales, belly and cheeks swelling before belting out a cacophonic scream the likes of which this particular peaceful clearing had never seen before, blowing Polaris powerfully backwards. "I have been told to be gentle since I was little." Mica approached the woman, rolling up one of her sleeves. "Gotten bitten, scratched, cut, because Pokemon are like that. They lash out when they are hurt. You are doing it right now, hiding behind a mask and striking at whatever you can to try and make things right." Feinting and sliding into the woman's guard she hurled her further still with a body throw, physically bouncing the terrorist off the ground with the force of the slam.
"If you want to talk, I will talk. If you want to fight, I will fight."
(Polaris' first hit on Ham inflicts Poison, via Poison Point. Her second attack inflicts a tick of damage on her. Mica holds action till after Ham. Ham uses Hyper Voice after Disengaging North one square, pushing Polaris 3 West and dealing 44 Normal Special. Finally he activates Rain Dish as a swift.
Mica moves one square East of Polaris and uses Circle Throw, Critical Hit for 57 Fighting Physical and another two squares of push.)

"Gaaah!" Polaris says, getting blown back by the force of the scream. She picks herself up, dusting off your suit. "That's not... I'm not..." is all she can get out before Mica slams her further away. "Ahhh… ow. I thought this time... I might be able to pull off a win against you. Haaaa…" She coughs a little, trying to get up. "Ah well..." She looks up at Mica, as though she wants to say something. But doesn't, at least until a large pause has built up. "No... you're right. I hide. I lash out. It's the only way I know how to make things right. Destroying things until they stop coming back." She weakly coughs, clutching where Mica hit her. "But this is a chance to change it all. To fix... to fix everything. Don't you... want that? Eventually... you could forget... the loss. It would all... be fixed. Enough to forget the pain. Ow." She looks down at her front, where Mica slammed into her, and notices a sort of... rippling going on with her suit, building up. "What? What's... going on? Ow, this is tight. It hurts. Stop. Stop." There's an edge of panic in her voice. "No, no no no… this is all her fault, I'm sure. Prisma-" Her voice becomes muffled and weak before going silent, as shadows erupt from her form, and she seems to grow. More and more mass is added, the form of Polaris eventually towering near three times as much as she did before. Hands ending in claws. Several more formed out of shadow, like a spider. And the mimikyu mask that she wore now seems to be alive, drawn-on eyes moving into a glare, and mouth opening into a many-fanged snarl, an aura of shadows flaring up around her. A scream, much like the one Ham let out earlier, fills the clearing. It seems to be a signal to battle.Polaris' aura flares to life. She gains +1 to all CS. Donovan's go. Map

Polaris could be reasoned with, Mica had found it, but whatever tampering Axiom had done had been a contingency to deal with her and Donovan. Mica's brow knitted and she cast a look over her shoulder at Donovan before shrinking, the beast before her swelling larger still in her vision before the light that surrounded her discharged with a little pop.
There was nothing to say, not to Donovan, or Polaris. Dusty continued to watch from the sidelines where Mica had released him, trusting in her and awaiting orders. "Ham, I had fun." Spectral swords rose around the bonsly and clashed once, Mica's own Aura surging with power.
Ham recovers a tick of hitpoints with Rain Dish, and used Mud Bomb on Polaris for 46 Ground Special. Mica transforms and used Swords Dance.

....She had got more Plates. That was where Donovans mind went immediately. Something like this....she must have got the Ghost Plate and used it to do this....somehow? Was it when they were trapped in the Electric Temple? When they were asleep? He had no idea how long it had been but it didn't matter. Because this meant he had failed in another place before getting there. Except what if he hadn't yet? Was he just writing them off because of a hunch?.....He couldn't go and check on all of them...but also he had to. To anyone that knew the boy that Donovan was they would realize that something within him had changed. He wasn't worried about the person in front of him, writhing in agony as she changed into a monster. Because to Donovan, she had already been a monster, and this was just her showing her true self. Polaris. Axiom. They weren't people. They were faceless monsters who only cared about their own goals. They were things for him to put down as he saved countless others. The people who had known an innocent Donovan would be shocked as instead of asking if she was alright instead fired off a blast of vines into the mutated form, hoping to hurt her more for his own gain. Even when he had shaken out of his rage he didn't stop. Donovan was different. And yet he had no idea of that fact. Donovan uses Mega Drain with a 17 vs AC 2 and deals 72 Grass Special Damage, the roll didn't account for Overgrow. He heals for half the damage done.
and a 15 on the Rage check

The monster before them staggers a little when hit by Ham's shot, followed by the grasping vines, stealing her lifeforce away. It feels almost... polluted to Donovan. Unnatural. Not harmful, but still... off. The towering figure grins, though, as it turns towards him, fangs bared... and outstretches a clawed hand towards Ham, vines similar to his own writhing out from the palm, suckling at the loud amphibian's life force. Donovan hits with Mega Drain, healing 27 damage. Ham Hits with Mud Bomb. Ham takes 48 damage and 2 injuries from Mega Drain.

His strength almost back to full, Donovan breathed deeply for a moment, letting his inner sun empower him once more. His movements became sharper and he turned his petals towards Polaris again. He almost said something. An apology that would be more for Micas sake than his own or for Polaris. But the words wouldn't leave his mouth. He felt no pity for this beast, she was a creature of her own making at this point. If that mask really was her true form, than he would spit back as much poison as he had felt in her energy. Maybe he could cleanse her when she fell. Maybe he wouldn't try. Purple needs fired off from his petals and into the monstrous form. Donovan uses Growth, putting his Attack and Special Attack at +5 combat stages.

Mica glances back at Ham, a worried expression on her face as he hits the dirt with a loud QUAG and doesn't get back up, skin dry and pale. Stepping forward into Polaris's shadow, she pelts the monster with volley after volley of small rocks, Dusty hearkening to her Mistress' side, but their attacks are to no avail.
(Missed twice, Dusty moves 3m East of Mica.)

Donovan's attack strikes true, and it does indeed seem to do some significant damage to Polaris, causing the being to turn in his direction and glare. None of Mica or Dusty's falling rocks are able to really do any damage, so her attention is not diverted, snarling before spitting a glob of mud and dirt at the flower-boy. Fortunately for him, it goes wide, not even being in the same ballpark as him. Donovan hits with Poison Sting. Mica and Dusty Miss with Rock Slide. Polaris misses with Mud Bomb.

"Down here!" Mica yelled up at the monstrosity as Dusty lunged at it, scrabbling and squirming before catching it across the space just below the mask with her tail. When Polaris' face was no longer full of lizard, Mica was briefly missing only to slam into if again center mass.

Another mass of vines shoots out from the Roserade as he watches the monster use another move that it was hit with. Maybe it would be best to keep using the same moves on it to keep it from gaining any more tricks. Donovan uses Mega Drain with an 11 vs AC 2 for 77 Special Grass Damage

Polaris lets out a cry of pain as Donovan's vines dig into her, but it's cut short by Dusty tearing and slamming at her throat - the surface of her body almost seeming to tear apart before flowing back into place. Mica is able to continue the assault, relentless. Not even Polaris bowling through her and Dusty is able to faze Mica - the shadowy claws around Polaris aren't able to do much more than scratch at her as they pass. Dusty however, is not quite so lucky. She falls to the ground, weakly fluttering, her energy spent. The abomination turns her attention north, to Donovan. Following Dusty's lead, she swings her clawed hand at Donovan, slashing across his throat. Thankfully it doesn't tear through, and he's still able to speak (albeit weakly), but it hurts. Donovan Staggers Polaris with Mega Drain. Donovan heals 29 HP. Polaris is hit by Throat Chop, and cannot use Sonic Moves for 2 turns. Polaris is hit by Faint attack. Polaris Passes with Shadow Claw. Polaris Misses Mica with Shadow Claw. Dusty takes 53 damage, 3 injuries, and Faints from Shadow Claw. Polaris Disengages. Donovan takes 52 damage from Throat Chop, and cannot use Sonic Moves for 2 turns.
