Evelyn takes a deep breath, seeming to concentrate, before the ground underneath Theo seems to waver, almost as if an energy is building up. He gets the feeling he probably wants to move in the next few seconds. "You say that you're done with this?" she asks. "Well, it will end on my terms."

Glancing at his feet, Theodore moved quickly and dutifully towards Evelyn, hair lengthening into the pinks and oranges of sunset as it falls out of braid. His coat becoming that white stylized longcoat and chaps. "We didn't let Ruby end it on her terms, or Cole, or Kai, or myself. Sure as hell ain't letting someone who's plate-freaking do whatever they want. I still ain't hitting no woman." (Theodore shifts and uses Dazzling Transformation).

Kai snaps out of his silence with a stutter, bumbling his words across. "K-Keep your distance, b-but be p-prepared!"The bird finally reacts after being given orders, twisting to grab a rock from the ground, turning around to throw it straight at the Gallade before gliding away from the group, getting some distance. Kai Applies Special Attack Embodiment as Tinted Lens for 1 AP as a Swift Action, and Special Attack Stratagem for 2 AP as a Standard.

.... Was Belle really a boy this whole time? Theo had only offered the Pokemon a slightly abashed look in response to it's mildly exasperated one. Belle swept in, held the Gallade close, and kissed its old friend powerfully, draining away some of that will to fight. (Gallade takes 48 Fairy Special)

Belle's attack doesn't seem to faze much the Gallade, despite the energy drain. And then it's promptly knocked out, even with steeling itself against the blow, by the rocks thrown at it by Archeops. The Lucario looks to seem to try and get revenge on the bird for the blow... but despite all its power, it doesn't seem to be able to connect. Evelyn's frustration is clear on her face. Even as she sends out her Skarmory, which slashes across Belle with its wings, burning her with the metal's touch, Evelyn gathers a sphere of energy in her palm which she angrily hurls at Kalani, striking the Archeops dead on. "That's for all the trouble you've caused!"Mr. Mime seems to hold in place until after all the others have gone, and mimics Evelyn, the throwing technique she'd done. "None of us have caused the trouble, Ev!" Ayah says, angrily, "And neither have you. It's them. And we're going to stop this, and we're going to stop them!"She holds out her Key Stone, and her Aurorus begins to glow, growing a little, frills rippling with rainbow light. An unseen chill breeze momentarily blows her hair out behind her as her Pokémon trills. Sparkles fires off an impressive blast of water... which misses Evelyn altogether. "...oh, well, I was hoping that would punctuate a little better," she admits, sheepishly, as she exchanges glances with her dinosaur. "Hit first, then one liner," Ruby mutters to Ayah, as Theo shifts away from the bubbling energy.... which explodes into a pillar where he was standing, and begins to ripple outwards. A new geyser begins to bubble underneath Archeops, as Evelyn's Skarmory once again attacks Belle, its wings scoring her enough to cause her to fall. Gallade is hit by Draining Kiss. It's super effective! ...and it Faints from Ancient Power.
Archeops takes 153 damage from Critical Ice Punch from Lucario, which is then promptly Dodged.
Belle takes 60 damage and 2 injuries from Steel Wing. It's super effective! Kalani takes 49 damage from Aura Sphere. A critical Hit! Ambient Aura is triggered.
Sparkles misses with Water Pulse.
Mr. Mime Mimics Aura Sphere, gains +1 Sp. Atk CS. Belle takes 61 damage, 2 injuries, and Faints from Steel Wing. Skarmory gains +1 Def CS.

The Lucario braces itself as the attack arrives, before quickly pivoting to knock the diving Archeops out of the way. It lines up for another freezing punch, but the bird's able to once again get out of the way. Lucario uses Parry, Kalani's attack misses. Lucario misses with Ice Punch.

The islander swallows nervously, feeling damp as he tries to come to a decision. With a moment of hesitation, he runs around to flank the bipedal dog, twisting his body and making a sturdy kick, which explodes into a way faster strike than he expects, with sheen of water suddenly coating his leg.

The Lucario catches Kai's kick, before it uses his momentum to slam him into the ground. Ruby's mime gestures, and launches a ball of aura at Evelyn, but a barrier of energy rises and blocks the projectile. Before it disappears, though, there does seem to be some distortion. Like it just needs to be hit more. Ayah happily obliges, with Sparkles angrily coating the area in ice, causing the barrier to shatter into shards of energy and fade away... well, one barrier, at least, as another seems to absorb the shards. Lucario is hit by Aqua Jet. Lucario uses Counter. Kai loses 24 Hit Points. Mr. Mime hits with Aura Sphere. A critical hit! Aurorus hits with Freeze Dry. A critical hit! Evelyn is Staggered.

Switching Belle for Six, Theodore glances between the two steel types on the field and considers debilitating Evelyn the same way he had others in the past, but Ayah's presence gives him pause. The kinds of gestures and feelings that went into those attacks were incredibly disloyal. After releasing Six, he spends his time preparing his large friend for combat. Theo binds Marksman's orders, and issues Brutal Orders to six. "Sleep powder on the bird, then we'll see about bringing Evelyn around. Don't make me do this Eve, you've always been really headstrong, but ah ain't got no desire to hit a woman. Isn't right." (9 Vs. AC 5 Sleep Powder)

"Oh, so I'm still not a goddamn equal?" Evelyn snaps at Theo, as the Skarmory dodges around the powder. "Get over yourself. We're not some mythical angels to be put on pillars." Theo's really not entirely sure if she's realizing if she's basically asking to get hit more or not. "We're people, and the only fundamental differences between you and me are only relevant if you're trying to get in my pants, dig? So just let it all go. You have this crazy, idealized, world that you live in, Theo, that doesn't actually exist. Where men are 'real men', and women are 'real women', and whatever else. That's not how life works!"Meanwhile, the energy comes to a head, geysering up under Archeops, and engulfing it in a beam of liquid light. It's still up, but a lot more damaged than before, and spasming periodically. IT just seems to wash over the Lucario, though, with no issue. Meanwhile, with Gardevoir down, the Skarmory swoops to claw and wing at Theo, the steel definitely seeming to be much less pleasant than normal. Even moreso than one would expect for being clawed and slashed at by a giant metal bird. The Lucario takes advantage of the sudden slowing of the bird, unleashing a sphere of energy right into its face at point blank range. The bird tries to stay awake for a moment... but then falls to the ground. Sleep powder misses.
Archeops loses 3 ticks of HP (taking an injury) and is Paralyzed from the aura. Theo takes 36 damage from Steel Wing. Archeops takes 70 damage and 2 injuries from Aura Sphere.

Kai picks himself up off the ground, letting out an annoyed click of his tongue and seeming far more... confident? The fear is gone from his eyes at least. He returns his flying fossil, quickly tossing Keahi behind him in the same movement. "Take out Ev, Keahi! She's the biggest threat here! ...Both physically and emotionally" Despite ending with a mutter, he taps his glove with his free hand, the rainbow light shining brightly as it synchronizes with the Salazzle The lizard sprouted it's extra tails and regal regalia, taking a moment to show itself off to everyone in the area.

"Yeah, sorry, not about to just roll over and let you do that," Evelyn says, scoffing, before stepping forwards and ramming a fist into Keahi, the girl's barrier flaring to life and seeming to drain the energy it takes from Keahi to replenish itself. Evelyn triggers Sword of Body and Soul. Salazzle takes 24 damage from Drain Punch.

The lizard takes the punch considerably well, seeming to smirk at Evelyn before engulfing her in a blaze of flames as the lizards seems to teleport away in the blast of flame, appearing a short distance away and opening her maw to shoot another gout of flame at the girl already being assaulted by fire.

"A real man carries himself with a sense of justice an righteousness, an air that commands the respect of his peers and their friendship. A firm but fair hand that gives mercy where it is deserved, and is gentle in tilling the soil and tending the garden of his private life. A real woman is dutiful, thoughtful," At this Theodore cast a sideways glance at Ayah and took a breath as thought steeling himself. "Reserved and kind. When push comes to shove, I'd rather have Ayah keeping me in line on presence alone because my *ideals* are to be respectful of my peers. If you want it settled with violence, so be it. Six, give her everything. She's asked for it."
Theo's jaw was set, his expression grimly determined as the Exeggutor swiveled towards Evelyn and plodded backwards a few lazy steps. (Theodore Binds Trick Shot and Long Shot, Six lines up for a Long Shot Bullet Seed. This will be Cross-Pollinated with Leech Seed) The towering dragon manages a single thin stream of shots, but the seeds take root on Evelyn's body and begin drawing on her vitality. (50 Grass Physical and Seeded).

Evelyn flinches at the flames of Keahi's teleport, but as the toxic fumes come towards her, she holds up her hand and they just deflect away from the barrier that springs up. "Oh, so you're the arbitrator of everything that's right in the world, is that it?" Evelyn snaps at Theo. "What if a woman wants an air of command, or a sense of justice? What if a man wants to be dutiful, kind, and thoughtful and whatever?" She seems genuinely angry, voice raised over the ocean waves. "Who the hell are you to dictate what does or does not dictate the 'real' idea? God damn it, Theo, respecting a person because of how they look isn't actual respect at all. If you're saying you only respect Ayah because she's a woman, what does that say about you? Nnnngh. The last bit is due to the seeds from Six following up from the attacks of Ayah's and Ruby's 'mon. They seem to shatter the barrier around her, leaving her open. It hasn't stopped the geysers of energy, though, one erupting up where Ayah and Sparkles had been a second earlier. Kai hadn't moved to avoid the one near him, so he feels it wash over him, numbing him to what feels like his soul, making movement a lot harder. A new spot begins below the Mr. Mime. Meanwhile, the bird continues its relentless assault of Theo, screeching as it does so. It's vicious, and very much exhausts him. Not to mention that ripple near him is fast approaching... Kai manages to evade the furious flaming kick that Lucario throws his way, but it does feel to him like he probably might not stay up if that connects, and he might not want to be right there. Evelyn goes up to the rapidly approaching Sparkles, and seems to try her best to punch it... but the rainbow sheen over its body seems to make dealing damage to it a bit of a daunting prospect with her current strength. Sparkles looks a little smug at this. She seems like she could get used to it. Evelyn takes damage from Fire Dance. Salazzle hits with Ember, Evelyn uses Detect. Mr. Mime hits with Freeze Dry, gains +1 Sp Atk from Copycat. Aurorus hits with Powder Snow. Evelyn is Staggered from Bullet Seed. Kai loses 3 ticks of HP and is Paralyzed from the aura wave. Theo takes 48 damage from Steel Wing. Lucario misses with Blaze Kick. Evelyn hits with Force Palm.

Kai swiftly dodges the quick, spinning to gain some momentum before backing off, attempting to gain some distance, he noticeably flinches after the first step, the shocks running through him, but shakes it off and continues to move away. Before he manages to move though, Keahi springs up a bit behind him before firing off a blast of flame at the Lucario. Kai uses Spinning Dance, gains +1 evasion

The Lucario doesn't seem to mind the heat much at all, though it is also seemingly just hanging on by a thread. Ruby silently assesses the situation, recalling her Mr. Mime, with Sparkles valiantly trying to knock Evelyn off her feet with a tail sweep... but misses comically, not quite adapted to her Mega form yet. Evelyn, meanwhile, seems to just be taking her frustrating out on Sparkles, the barrier of energy around the girl reforming from the stolen soul-power, before she launches a sphere of power into the sauropod. Ruby, taking a less direct tact, sends out her Chansey to support Theo, the creature offering him an egg in his trying time. "I know you hate birds, Theo," Ruby says, dryly, "but you don't need to take it on yourself, you know."
Salazzle hits with Ember. It's not very Effective. Lucario hangs on with Endure. Evelyn hits with Drain Punch. A critical hit! Aurorus misses with Take Down. Aurorus takes an injury from Aura Sphere. Chansey uses Softboiled on Theo, healing him for half his Hit Points.

"Never had the means to deal with a metal bird before, and still don't." Theodore grumbled noisily after wolfing down the egg and giving the Chansey an appreciative pat on the head. Evelyn's retort seems to have wounded his spirit more than Skarmory's claws had. Skirting the bird, he paused, hands at his side. "What we... all become... is a product of our passions." Light built around him, brighter and brighter, until it exploded violently in a huge radius, pink and silver star shaped flechettes of light zooming outward. (Burst 3 Friendly Exhaust Smite Dazzling Gleam, 43 Fairy Special resisted one step more.)
As the light faded, Theo stood there looking very drab and worn by comparison. Six let out a bellow and lobbed a stone at Skarmory to get the bird's attention, but didn't find purchase.

Evelyn flinches at the bright light washing over her, and it seems to shatter once more the barrier that had arisen from her attack on Sparkles. The bird seems affected by it even less, the gleam just getting deflected by its metal feathers. "So if I have a passion for justice, suddenly I'm a 'real man'?" Evelyn snaps. "Grow up, Theo. People are people are people, and you don't put people in boxes just because of how they look, or how they act, or who their parents are. Give each individual a chance."The ever expanding wave of energy flows across Theo and Six, feeling like it's digging at their spirits, trying to erode them. This fight probably needs to end quick, as yet another is bubbling up underneath Keahi. The Skarmory flies past Theo, moving to harass Six, though the boy gets bumped out of the way of the worst of the blades by Ruby's Chansey. The Lucario, using the last of its strength, fires off a blast at Sparkles, finally felling the dinosaur, while Evelyn moves over to, fairly ineffectively, hit Keahi. "Okay, we need to end this now!" Ayah says, looking around a little nervously. She seems to have mostly just been backing away from the energy waves. Evelyn is hit by Dazzling Gleam. It's not very effective... Skarmory is hit by Dazzling Gleam. It's not very effective...
Theo loses 3 ticks (and takes an injury) and is Paralyzed from the aura wave. A-Exeggutor loses 3 ticks and is Paralyzed from the aura wave. Theo takes 48 damage from Steel Wing, reduced to 24 from Friend Guard. Aurorus Faints from Aura Sphere. Lucario Faints from Poison. Salazzle takes 8 damage from Force Palm. And is re-paralyzed. Not that it matters.
