Co, ic everyone looking forward for the cummer ceason and the cweltering heat?

"Stay sharp and keep up the pressure. You don't want him standing in the same place for too long." "Got it," Easter nodded. Nine's words helped to jolt him out of his previous--dark dark dark kill kill kill play play play--haze. He couldn't let himself get distracted in this fight. There was too much at stake to play around. Even if he so wanted it. No. Think of Dora, he thought. I'm different now. I'm not the same gijinka I was before. As Nine started fighting against the Cacturne--yes, the dark type--the man spoke. "You may think you know how to defeat me. However one fight is not enough to truly know what your opponent can do. Just because I grow stronger staying in one place doesn't mean I can't take the fight to you if I must." He glanced over towards Easter. "Though it seems you both are on equal footing. It's a shame you have come here to my territory." Following that was a hissing sound as several snakes began to crawl toward the fairy type. Scoffing, Easter released a wave of Swift stars which went for the snakes, downing most of them, though a few remained. That was just fine with him. Stomping down on one, he lifted his foot just before it could strike at his heel, grabbing its neck in a lightning-fast maneuver and throwing the serpent at Nikora. The Godslayer seemed surprised by that, retaliating with a Pin Missile that speared the snake straight through its gullet. "This isn't the first time I've fought snakes, both literally and figuratively," Easter said with a bland smile. "Though they were usually much bigger than this, and gijinka, but the same principle applies." He spun on his heel then, stomping another snake flat with his other foot. Seeing that they were all either dead or knocked out, he shook his head. "Now for the main prey." While Nikora was distracted against Nine, the Sylveon shot off a Moonblast. This time, the Cacturne ducked instead of took out his shield, bending low against the ground like a blade of grass bowing to the wind, causing the attack to soar harmlessly overhead. "Tch," the Eeveelution clicked his tongue. "Guess you're not just a stiff after all." The Cacturne didn't respond to that, sending out an Energy Ball toward the fairy type. Eyes narrowing, the Sylveon attempted to evade it, but found himself crashing into a tree. Damn forest, he thought as the attack hit him. I'm not used to this. But... he glanced up at the trailing vines. Not all of this is unfamiliar. But that can wait. The Sylveon sent out a Psyshock this time, even knowing the attack was useless. Nikora said nothing as the attack hit him, though he was probably wondering what the point of it was. It didn't matter though. Easter had already shot forward, punching the Cacturne in the abdomen and getting thrown back against a tree for his troubles. Grunting, the Sylveon picked himself up, not much the worse for wear still. Running up one that selfsame tree, upon reaching the apex of his climb, he flipped off, heading straight down toward Nikora like a torpedo. The man put up a Spiky Shield, but whether it was because he had used it so often against Nine, or shock from the snake loosening his concentration, the move failed, and Easter crashed into the gijinka full-force.The man's eyes narrowed, throwing out a Punch toward the fairy type which Drained some health, forcing Easter to jump off of him. "Sorry, but I'm not into that," he winked. -- "Finally. I was wondering when you were both gonna shut up, and put your dukes up!" Taiga said, raising her fists in the air. "Sorry about yer precious Alola, but Adarid's still kickin' bitch!" Taiga laughed, but it was soon cut short by a swift slash to her arm, which seemed to enrage the Sharpedo. "Yeah, yeah, I know, I talk too much. Is it too much to ask to try to avoid a scrap?" Keanu asked wryly, though he looked a little nervous at seeing the water type take out a gem the color of the night sky, disappearing somewhere into the hailstorm. At the same time, Lok fired off a Will-O-Wisp in that direction. "I already knew you wouldn't care. I'm the only one. The only one left to do what must be done." "No, you just think da kine!" Keanu shouted into the storm. He knew she wouldn't listen, but it was frustrating to see Kalia reduced to...this. Sending out an Electro Ball toward where he had heard the giggle, Keanu ran forward, following his attack and watching it reach its mark with some satisfaction. The next second, a rain of Icicles Crashed into the ground around him, one of them even spearing down into his arm. "Aiâ!" he shouted, grabbing his arm and pulling the icicle out. Almost immediately, he retaliated with a Thunder Wave, but by the sound of a giggle as the Sandslash faded out of view, he knew he had missed. "This storm is plenny annoying," the Raichu muttered.

The walk was a silent one. Link preoccupied himself with preventing Rohns from getting too far ahead of them, and watching the villagers as they passed for any signs of suspicious movement. Some things still did not add up as far as he was concerned. Who was the woman who had spoken to them just after the destruction of the statue? What about her had scared Licorice so much, and where had the protean fled to? Why had that chubby little man fled so quickly after being restored to his human form? The soldier’s head throbbed painfully just trying to keep track of all the strange things going on. The most pressing of issues remained making sure Princess Catriona was not left alone; she was every bit the warrior he was, but anyone could be overwhelmed and her safety was of the highest priority. It took no time at all to make it back to Town Hall. Link dropped to one knee when Princess Catriona saw him, pressing a fist to his heart in salute while simultaneously pushing Rohns down to the ground in what looked like a mock bow. “Your majesty,” he said. The other villager--the sassy one from before, Acantha, if his memory served--greeted Citron behind him. Then she addressed him. “They have all gone off with Alois’ mum to rest. I thought it best to find her majesty and, er… check in,” he finished weakly. “Citron came with me to ask your majesty a question, if you would hear it.” He kept his head bowed as he spoke. Rohns, on the other hand, wriggled free of his grip and darted over to Peaches the Wyvern. Yip! Yip! The little wolf bounced on his haunches and barked playfully at the creature. Play with me you big lizard! he seemed to say.

Belle grew increasingly frustrated the further they walked. She appreciated the fact that Jacklyn was taking care of the Pokémon they came across, but that didn't help them one bit when it came to their main issue. "How could nobody...not know where they are?!" she eventually exploded, throwing her hands in the air in a fit of pique. "This is insane! This is. The. Desert." She had never been in the desert before. At least not before today. But she knew enough about it to know that it was dangerous. Video games had been sure to show her that. "I don't see an oasis anywhere either, so if we don't find our way back to the road soon, we'll be toast! And then it'll be night, and we'll be chilled toast! Do you get that?!" she glared at the others, but especially Jacklyn, the idiot who had gotten them off track. Before she could continue her rant, she noticed that...Jacklyn wasn't even listening to her! She was talking to a boy who...apparently knew where Gemupet City was? Belle hadn't memorized the map of Korova she had seen, so she had no clue what the city was called that they were heading toward, only that it was civilization! Fresh water! Cool air! These things were very, very important, even if her two intrepid companions didn't seem to think so. "I saw lines like that in video games and always wanted to try it myself." Belle snorted despite herself at that. "Is that so? Well, my team won't back down from a challenge like this!" Yep, she knew that would happen. Not that Belle minded. Far from it. "Isn't that right Belle?" Wait, wait, wait, what?! No no no no no. This wasn't part of the plan. And since when was Belle on her team? She wasn't a Pokémon! Before the girl could protest, she was pushed forward, "go on and show him what you're made of!" She glanced toward Ivan with desperate eyes. He would want to battle...right? He just got a new Pokémon and all, so it would make sense. "Well, looks like this one's all yours." He said instead with a pat on the back and a yawn. "Can't let me and Jacklyn get all the battling done, after all." Belle shot a glare at the traitor before turning away with a grumble. It looked like she had no choice. "Guess I have to battle you then, huh?" the blue-haired girl asked with dead--betrayed--eyes as she stared at the boy in front of her. "Oh well. Let's get this over with then," she said, reaching in to take out a Poké Ball. She had no clue which Pokémon was in it, or if it even had one inside, but she would figure out a system for that later.

Kace face was stone cold as he glared down David, who seemed to be shocked that he was shot. So his stand had some sort of range limit, as he guessed. He turned his attention back towards Joanna, who was cooped up under some cover as the bullets kept raining down above her. He turned his attention back towards David, a smirk on his face. "Not so cocky now kid, eh!? Like I said, this ain't my first rodeo!" He shouted in an attempt to talk over the blaring sound of machine gun fire. "I can tell this is your first. Shame, it's gonna be you're last too." As he prepared to fire another shot from the rifle, however, he was suddenly interrupted when his wall of guns suddenly faded to dust as the wall they were mounted on shattered into shards of glass. "Not again..." He muttered, now being surrounded by who he could only assume were more stand users. Not only that, but now he had to be mindful not to shoot his partner, although in that instance he very much would have liked too. Most of the machine guns in the ceiling stopped firing as Kace made his way towards『21 GUNS』who was spawning a Tommy Gun from the ground. The only machine guns that were still firing were the ones above Joanna's cover. Kace picked up the gun from the ground, aiming it towards the new duo that he now had to deal with while he walked away from David. Meanwhile, the rifle on the other side of the room fired once more, its sights aimed at David yet again. "And here I thought things were going to go smoothly for once." Kace fired his gun at the two boys, gritting his teeth. He was hoping things wouldn't go south this hard, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't expecting it. This wasn't the first time Fox had fucked him over like this. Hopefully, it wouldn't be the last either.

Justice Rekindled
