OOC: Zek, you could probobly make a post of Roze, or Zangetsu, or even Fox, fighting and defeating the primal clone of Sparchu, and then have Fox leave with regards to keep in contact.

OOC: I'll be keeping it as quick as possible when I get the chance. I'm actually trying to imagine on how I'll get this through. *I was intending for Fox to do something, but meh, I completely forgot what.*

OOC: I'll force myself to write. Now. D:

"OK that's not right."

"Zan! You know exactly how I battle, and it's most probable that this primal of mine fights the exact same way! Go!"

"...uh, why don't YOU help?!"

"...because I'm afraid that I might hurt myself."

"..."

"..."

While all of them were in a moment of stupidity, the primal Pikachu didn't hesitate and immediately Thunder Waved Zangetsu, who in turn was paralyzed immediately. Then onto the ground the electricity channeled even more, locking Zangetsu into place, surely immobile.

"...I never knew I could do that, but whatever!"

Sparchu tried the same as he fired a Thunder Wave at the primal Pikachu and concentrated his S. Light Ball on the ground. But as the electricity was locking on the ground, the primal Pikachu was able to punch the floor so hard (like Sparchu could as well), rendering a slight Earthquake, making all of the 5 there off-balance (for 4 of them were weak to ground attacks: Sparchu, Fox, Zap, Zangetsu).

This off-balance was taken advantage by the primal as it used the same strategy that Sparchu frequently uses -- a quick Focus Punch while the opponent is off-balance. It almost hit Sparchu when suddenly Roze's body came flying from somewhere (because of the recent earthshock) and shielded Sparchu from the attack. This caused the Floatzel to be delivered so far and was tossed out the window. Sparchu recovered after that.

Realizing how disastrous it was getting, Sparchu took into position in trying to do a more tricky strategy of abusing Grass Knot.

Fox was also ready to give out a Will-O-Wisp, but the ground shook again as the primal Pikachu once agian Focus Punched the ground, making Zap and Fox off-balance once more, rendering them disabled from attacking. But this earthshock enabled Sparchu to manipulate the grass easier as the ground opened up even more grass patches from the ground. As the knots were complete, the primal Pikachu finally tripped over and was immobile for a while.

Sparchu was ready to Focus Punch that Pikachu into oblivion, while Fox was ready to Fire Blast the primal. Zap channeled his 'Minus' into the left cheek of Sparchu, the one with the 'Plus'.

Unfortunately, this Minus channeling of Zap was the reason why the primal Pikachu was able to got up again, as the primal Pikachu's 'Plus' connected to Sparchu's 'Minus', completing a channel of both Sparchu's and Zap's power, reversing the effects of Grass Knot and shocking the ground, leaving Fox suddenly paralyzed and Zap a bit drained of his power. Sparchu wasn't drained because he was in the middle of the electric circuit.

Seeing how the primal Pikachu will be obliterated soon, it suddenly ran so fast into Tailwind's storage and carried the forbidden drawer, and tried to run out of the base. It got out of the door easily, what with all of them trying to recover.

"What?! He mustn't escape with that! After him!"

The only ones capable of still chasing the primal was Sparchu and Fox. But the primal Pikachu was already leaking with electric power that his trail was covered with electricity, and if they would follow him, they'd be damaged significantly.

"...! I don't think we can handle this much overcharge..."

"But those were forbidden documents! I don't suppose you're giving up on retrieving them?!"

"Of course I won't! But right now it doesn't even seem possible without outside help!"

Oh, then it IS possible with outside help. The electric trail of the primal, obviously, could only hinder those that are following him at the back. But what about at the front?

The Ouendan Green; Lighty, Vanguachu, and Skyras, together with Issun, happened to be crossing in front of Tailwind's base that time. Seeing the primal Pikachu, all 4 of them stopped.

"...(it's a primal! And it's Sparchu...? No, it's a replicate... it's from our experiment from 5 years ago!)"

"Whoa! Is that Pikachu intending to ram us to death?!"

"...(I want to see Vanguachu's power right here! This could be the perfect opportunity!)

Vanguachu! This is not Spar! Sparchu could never become a primal, and I think you know that! Since you know Sparchu TOO well, why don't you try stopping it?!"

"...what, me? I don't want to hurt my little bro~ even if it's just an image of hi~"

"Trust me, this Pikachu is WAY too off to be an image of Sparchu! Just fight it!"

"...OK, if you insist! But why won't you help?"

"I have a Pikachu weakness!"

"..."

"..." ~Skyras

"..." ~Issun

Enough of that stupidity.

Vanguachu stepped forward to filter the incoming Pikachu that was ready to ram the 4 to death. Vanguachu readied his position.

As the primal kept running, however, it could be noticed that the overcharge trail behind it was suddenly shutting down, enabling Sparchu and Fox to chase after the primal. As the primal got nearer and nearer to Vanguachu, it's Black Light Ball was losing its luster.Eventually when it touched Vanguachu, it's as if the primal never had any power to start with.

"...you're right, I don't believe that this is my brother. He can't be THIS weak!"

Seeing as how the primal was blocked, he suddenly punched Vanguachu out of the way. But unlike Sparchu's punch, it only delivered Vanguachu a short flinch.

"...(I knew it! It's that special property of his! It's finally awakened!)"

Vanguachu was able to recover quickly and Thunderbolted the primal. Though the primal was quick, it was not able to dodge this one. But it looked like an ordinary Thunderbolt -- easily dodgable, yet it hit perfectly!

Following up, Vanugachu released a Hidden Power, which shook the ground below the primal. It was a Hidden Power of the Ground-type, perfect.

This quickly disabled the primal, as if it was some weakling. Vanguachu positioned for his second signature move.

"Now! The fiercest of all Kanpi-style Martial arts!

Focus Kick!"!

Vanguachu's perfect move, Focus Kick, coupled along with the sudden weakening of the primal, allowed it to be executed most than perfectly, sending the primal Pikachu flying towards Sparchu and Fox's direction.

"...! Stand back for a while.

Now! The strongest of all Kanpi-style martial arts!

Focus Punch!"

Now Sparchu's attack, Focus Punch, had the same effect, sending the primal back in Vanguachu's direction. Vanguachu grasped the body as it was incoming. He then dropped it. Tailwind, Fox, and Zap, all better now, went to the primal, along with the Ouendan Green and Issun.

"So I see!"

"...I never knew that it could be this dangerous..." Zap had to retort.

"That's why this drawer must not leave in the hands of Tailwind or Lighty or Razen. Roze, please take this back."

Roze picked up the drawer and delivered it back into the base.

"I felt a much more heavier spirit coming from this primal as compared to yours, Sparchu... I'm assuming that both your power and the primal's stacked?" Fox asked to confirm. Lighty answered.

"But indeed that's how hollowification works! An override in spirit in such a way that the body can't control it!

Speaking of spirit, Vanguachu, could you please pick up this Pikachu?! Hold it close to your stomach!"

"...this is getting weird, but whatever."

The Raichu did as said, and as the primal was prolonged near Vanguachu's body, its primal form was shedding from itself, and out came the ordinary Pikachu that it was supposed to be.

"It's notch-eared...! It must be a special Pikachu."

"It would take time before she wakes up again! It would be best if someone could take care of her, or if she could be taken to either Squad 12 or Squad 4's quarters!"

"...does Squad 12 even have quarters? I never saw any building by Squad 12."

"*coughDPARIcough*"

"...ah, alright. I guess we'll be taking this Pikachu for a while."

"So if you'll excuse us, we'll leave now! We can't waste anymore time!"

Ouendan Green and Issun left for their actual destination.

"...Epitaph. I suppose this much exposure is getting too evident, and we might be being watched from here on. It's best if by now, we part ways. Maybe go back to where your next destination?"

"It would be fine, we were about to leave anyway.

Again, we thank you Tailwind for sharing your knowledge with us. It's most probable we'll cross roads again someday. Zap, we're leaving."

Fox and Zap left.

"...wait, how'd you know their team name?"

"...uh, yeah, 4 years."

"...whatever. Anyway, what are we going to do with this notch-eared?"

"For now we'll take care of her in the base. Until she wakes up and tells us where she wants to be dropped off, she should be in care. Roze, if you will."

"I already prepared the room for injuries when I was there. I'll be tending to it starting this night."

"That's better. Alright, let's head back."

OOC: MUCH better. Though my hands died...

EDIT: Whee, Spar and Vangua~


This message was edited by Zekira on May 19 2009.

OOC: I felt a bit blank right now and was just listing down this stuff, so I just felt like posting it here -- my characters arranged according to their strength:

1.) Essie Doruga -- will explain later.
2.) 'Madame Yumigami' -- will be revealed later.
3.) Byakune Eneko -- immunity to hollowification while overriding spirit, not to mention a semi-controllable Assist and small body.
4.) Kenzar -- immune to hollowification while overriding spirit, and a maximized buff.
5.) Hien Gon -- hidden within him is the true form of Hiryu. Can control inner hollow because of this, too.
6.) Lighty Eon -- possibly the one holding the strongest primal, not including legendary primals of course.
7.) Razen Faya -- oh look, more hollow/primal.
8.) Zangetsu Kurozen --
9.) Ushiwaka --
9.) Botan -- somehow, can be comparable to Ushiwaka, but more on the psychic-side.
10.) Sparchu Kanpi -- UberPikachu, enough said.
11.) Venus M. Faya -- Hey, look, the moon! *dies*
12.) Insert all the other captains not mentioned here.
13.) Senbon -- Zanpaku-tos tend to carry the same power as their wielder.
13.) Insert all vice-captains not mentioned here.
14.) Roze Ploat -- Her swiftness and bulk is not something to be laughed at. Out of many ordinary Pokémon, she stands out as extraordinary.
15.) Skyras Shinta -- she's hiding something.
16.) Akvmovat Racross -- A strong Heracross that can also use magic is extraordinary.
17.) Vanguachu Kanpi -- Although he's listed this low, Vanguachu is the only one who has a chance of beating ALL the 13 captains of the Pokétei, even Essie as long as Essie doesn't use his other-worldly powers. He also has perfect anti-primal properties. In conclusion, he has the strongest anti-spirit of all of them.
18.) Issun -- not much to say except that he's swift, but his knowledge of celestial brush and perfectly drawing any type of Pokémon move could come in handy many times.
19.) Akiha Tohno -- although strong, she has yet to overcome her weakness of having a pattern in battling.
20.) Dorabot -- ubermachine!
21.) Nyanki -- she has the unique ability to be able to create 'real illusions'.
22.) Para Hajima, Maya Ryutta -- Only capable of osu!magic and overcharges, really. D:

OOC- First off, I learned the ooc thing from the rules. Second, I love the pikachu-raichu pic. Third, would someone explain what this is? I read it all, but it doesn't make much sense. Are we all making a kind of fan fiction? Please explain, thanks. And by the way...

CHUCK NORRIS! SCHOOLS OUT, WHOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!

OOC: Yes, I will do just that. And I will edit my story into this post, so as not to take up space.

And FYI, I plan on Chuck norris being in it, so (in the words of wierd al yankovic), eat it!

OOC: I think this dude is up for an automatic rejection. -_-

OOC: Wait, WHAT? OMG, dude, sorry! I didn't mean to offend anybody, I just wanted to be funny. ANd the "eat it" thing, i wasn't trying to do anything! I beg your forgivness...

OOC: ...I'm sorry, but with the previous posts you made, I'd have to put a momentary penalty on being more sensitive on you. In the current PM you sent me, you clearly had some spelling issues. Please re-do... I really apologize but I don't want too much errors in the RP, and as much as possible epicness should remain, so I'm going for 'coverjudging' on applications.

OOC: I have errors in spelling because I usually use my iPod touch for neoseeker, so tomorrow I will send in another pm using my actual computer. I apologize for any inconvinience. Also, I agree of the penalty, just pm me when it is lifted. Assuming I am accepted, of course. Thank you,

pokefreak77

OOC: I don't think the penalty has a duetime.... but whatever, please, do send the PM again with more properness.

ALso, time to get with an RP post or what.

Back at Kusa Ruins, where the duel between Ren and Esura was taking a bit longer than usual...

"(...it's taking long. Esura should reveal his own power any minute now...)"

"...ugh, you've done well to keep up with me within this long, Renji!" complains Esura.

"You tired me out as well, Esura. I don't see how this will end anytime soon." Ren replies.

"Oh but it will. You see, my mother Asurie never was dubbed the second strongest warrior in Kusa for nothing." Esura said, as the Absol got up and spun around slowly. After spinning a full 360 degrees, 8 auras of different elements could be seen floating around the field, and was closing in on Esura's face-blade.

"...that formation... seems familiar." Ren but help but recall something that he's seen before.

"It should be. This is our move of pride, and calls forth was darkness actually means!"

"...pure darkness... it's entity entirel~ It can't be, the 8 elements of fire, water, wind, electricity, poison, evil, light, and earth..."

The 8 auras formed in front of the Absol's face and merged with the face-blade. Esura jumped high in the air, and readied a frontflip.

"Yes, that's right Ren. Octet Blaster! Stride, Orochi!" Esura called out as a powerful aura slash was sent from afar, towards Ren's direction. It was similar to a Moonlight slash, but it could be launched and had the purity of darkness in it. Getting hit by it would mean an instant knockout.

"(...yes, I knew it. That little thing over there has the potential to be a spiritual sword as well. Zanpaku-to, I'm not sure.

But Ren. He definitely has one.)"

Seeing the slash reminded Ren of how fiercely Shin the Luxray and Asurie the Absol, Kusa's two best warriors, fought. It was then up to Ren to know how his father actually countered this move.

As he was about to get hit though, a spark happened for a while in Ren's spirit, rendering him away from reality for a while.

"...this is exciting. I'd never expect I'd see such strength again. I remember now... how as a kid I loved the exhibitions my father and the others of Kusa Village entertained me with their power.

They protected the village with that same power, too. It definitely served as an inspiration to me. I chose to train hard because of this too.

I could care less if Kusa burned down along with the corruption -- it is definite that the Kusa 5's spirit still lives in these lands. I can't just be here and be humiliated."

"...and so you did come back, Ren. I was waiting."

"...! That's..."

"Half of me was in you. Half of me was in this land. Approaching such a situation with joy is what I've been looking for -- my pride in battling could never be complete without having full enjoyment in battling. Be it for the land or just for minor things, the engagement of warriors is something to smile about."

"...so what are you trying to tell me?"

"Ren, I always wanted to give you this secret spiritual power of mine, but I never had the chance to... So right here and now, hit me with your most powerful electric attack."

"...OK, if you say so..."

"...! Can't you do something stronger?!"

"...! I'm trying!"

"... that's better, one more!"

"...grraah..."

"ACK! There! Swing, Zanken!"

"...! What..."

"...yes, this is it, Zanken does indeed live within you. And I promised the heavenly land that I will return once Zanken has been full again. It's because..."

"...but Zanken... that's the name of~"

"Please don't cry now. Your mother disappeared first, and that's why you never saw her after evolving, right? I tried to train you as much as possible since I know that Zanken wants you to take up her soul instead of me... for I have done an unbearable sin that you might not forgive me for.

Right now you're in the face of getting hit. What are you going to do about it?"

"...Shin..."

"Good luck, I'm going now."

"...Shin!"

Ren finally got back to reality.

"Ack?"

"Ren! You're taking too long!"

"...! Alright, that's it!

Hehehe... Esura, there's a reason why Asurie was only dubbed the second strongest warrior in Kusa..."

"...getting cocky much?"

"Admit it -- Shin was the FIRST, and I happened to be his direct descendant, remember?!

Swing, Zanken!"

"Finally!"

If anyone could remember the moment from a few days ago, where Ren had this long electric serpent, like an extension of his tail. It came out again, but this time it looked more gentle. Ren was in full control of this powerful spirit now -- the spirit of a certain Dragonair, Zanken W. Torar, who happened to be Ren's mother as well, was made into a full-spiritual Zanpaku-to and resided inside Shin for a long time. After which it slowly developed inside Ren Torar as well.

Seeing this new power made Esura flinch for himself a bit as the extended tail of Ren just knocked off the Octet Blaster. From that same extended tail along with Ren's body, a powerful electric wave was gathering up, and was definitely to hit...

"Extreme Discharge. Is this what you want?!"

Ren released a Discharge which he never knew he could release so powerful. It hit directly on Esura, causing the Absol to fall down immediately with such a powerful attack.

"...

...

...I guess it's that, then. Duel over.

Assist -- Healing Wave."

Byakune healed Esura.

"...ugh...

...Ren, I want a re-match. I won't accept falling to such power!" Esura demanded.

"Heh, you'll get yours soon." Ren said sneeringly.

"You're right -- for now we've took time right here. Ren, we still have another place to go to, so place your goodbyes for now."

Ren went to the crowd for some goodbyes, then went back to Byakune as they went to another place.

In that other place...

"I'm pretty sure you're familiar with this place...?"

"...not 'familiar' directly, but indeed, this place is like a sanctuary to us. This forest was rightly inhabited by the many who was known as the 'Luxio Tribe'. This forest has still grown more lush than I expeceted it to be."

"It looks more like a Shinx's sanctuary to me. There are so many of them..."

"I agree."

Then from some part of the field, a scream could be heard as a good number of Shinxes were running away, as if being chased by something.

"What's going on here...?"

"There's something attacking, it seems. We better step up, Capta~ What? Hey, wait up captain!"

"Keep up with me using Flash Steps!"

The two were rushing forward, to try and find the origin of the commotion of the Shinxes.

After some time, they found the source -- a number of Luxios were attacking like crazy. But they weren't just normal Luxios.

"These are... primals! Attack, Ren!"

"Easily!"

Byakune and Ren could easily combat the Luxios as they were too ordinary. The number of Luxios were a bit great, though, they might just be outnumbered. But Byakune's power won't fall for such.

As Byakune keeps on combatting them one by one, a flashback unknown to him suddenly appeared.

quote

"Or because you're all idiots. You had no idea about the pain I was going through. Every waking minute I spent silently torturing myself! But now, it's all over. *laughs*

And now, it's time to show you what I can do.

You forgot something: I. Am. Impossible.

If you or anyone else had fought alone, destruction awaited you. The same holds true for me. YOu cannot defeat me without help, nor will you get it. We will see to that."

"...(whatever this is, this definitely isn't my flashback. Maybe I'm just recalling this since I"m getting too worried... that the world is coming back to its state of selfishness. And then regret comes at the end...)"

"That's finally over... where did those Luxios come from anyway?"

"...I... do not know."

A Shinx from behind stepped up. "They came 4 years ago... from the top of that mountain." The Shinx pointed at the top of a semi-crippled mountain. "And since that time we haven't been able to live as peacefully... all we could do was protect this homeland of ours. I am wondering where our senior Luxios have gone...

...who are you two? You Luxray... are you maybe..."

OOC: WAH! I was being demanded to get to sleep. So I'll continue this next time. Also, HH, sense something familiar?

"So no Plusle yet, Zap?" Fox asked as they walked through the woods back to the Epitaph HQ.

"No, I was sitting and waiting, and then I saw the Pikachu go into the base looking angry, so I followed suit. Im sorry Fox."

"Heh, no worries, no worries. We'll find the Plusle one day or another. Now, what should we do?"

"Shouldn't we be on the alert for Corbenik? Just incase he attacks us, or if he finds another child of morganna?"

"No...Fighting with corbenik would result in a loss without the use of Skeith, or Gorre. And you heard what Sparchu said, didn't you? I can't be using Skeith too much, for this is what causes the primal pokemon. Even though Terra is big, Zap, we are now indulged into something much greater...I fear for the worst, but I also hope for the best. You should do the same. Now, let us continue to walk in silence, and enjoy nature."

Zap gave a nod and kept walking, looking around as they walked along the dirt path, noticing some pokemon enjoying their lives, while others were in hurries to get some place, or angry with eachother. Everyone seemed to be living their lives normally, while Epitaph, and Tailwind, and all the others from four years ago, and possibly many more teams and pokemon, won't be able to know what a normal life really is.

"Zap, stop moving. Be calm, and don't say anything." Fox said all of a sudden, stoping his movements, and looking forward.

"Wait, wha--" Zap said, looking around, but was cut off by Fox.

"Shh! Just stay calm."

The two pokemon stood in complete silence for minutes, even the sounds of wind rustling through the leaves had vanished, although the wind had not. Soon, a cloud of darkness fell above them, and entrapped the two pokemon of Epitaph in complete darkness, until eventually the darkness began to glow in its evilish, purple way, and a pokemon came into view. An umbreon.

"Are you...looking for the other half of Gorre?" Corbenik said, a devilish grin on his face.

Ooc: Ah, nice Zek. I might actually re-involve Lux in some way.

---

"Well this is a pain where it hurts." Sol mutters. After a few more dreams, his head became dizzy.

"There've been worse. Would you rather Kenzar cut you in half?" Sol shivered. Another fight with Kenzar was something he wasn't looking forward to. Especially were he to get Bankai. Hanayama told him Kenzar's Zanpaku-tou, while not having a known name, was constantly in Shikai because of his spirit energy. If he knew Bankai, he could probably destroy the world. And if he were Primal...

"Jesus!" Sol shouts. Adren recoils a bit from the outburst.

"What?"

"Primal, Bankai Kenzar."

"Holy sh..." Adren half-shouts. They both shiver.



Minutes later, Rhy enters the room.

"Sol, any missions?"

"Go find one if you want. Right now, I'm not up to one myself."

"BS." Adren says. "The best thing for you is harnessing that energy. It's all going to your head. I'm coming too. It'll do me some good. Too little sunlight is making my fur pale."

"Fine. I'll let Hanayama know she's in charge. With Light being apple-crazy, Soren being a bit of a moron, and Taeanthra still recovering a bit, she's probably the best choice."

"They'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen?"

Soren pops out of his chair, heading for the mission room. "I pray I never find out." He calls over his shoulder. Adren grins and follows Sol and Rhy.
