Alright, time to kick Hornbeam ass once and for all.

You’re assaulted from all sides. It’s a hopeless situation. Your senses are just overwhelmed. You can barely see or hear anything that you can make sense of.

And it’s great! Your Pokemon and human friends hug, kiss, and lick you.

“Nice to see you, Kat.” Geno’s unjudging voice cuts through. “Robin.”

Robin looks up at the crowd of spectators. Gym leaders and the Elite Four. She gets up, brushes herself off, pulls you up, and coughs. “Alright people. Show’s over. Main unit, keep advancing. Reserves, watch the rear. Nice and steady, but keep that pace up. Remember, we have people on the outside that are counting the seconds. Move out!”

Wow! She is commanding.

The group gets into gear and Robin turns back to you. She looks terrified but giddy. She breathes and forces it away. “There’s a PC box with the others. You can switch your team there if you need.” Robin grabs your shoulder. “Just a little more, and we’ll set everything right.”

“Robin.” Violet greets her cautiously.

“Former champion Violet.” Robin grabs your hand and starts walking back to the main group.

Violet still isn't over it and will probably need a second defeat to understand that Robin is actually better than her, but now's not the time for that.

Also, how much time were we locked up? Robin sure has changed.

I think playing as Green in FR:LG makes the story between her and her rival more interesting, since Blue's alpha douchebag personality is now less about dominance and more about charming his way into Green's skirt.
It'd probably work too if Blue could actually win some battles against her.

You decide to stay out of it.

“What happened with your eye?”

“Huh? O-oh, right. I’ve been modifying it and I didn’t really have time to make it look good.” She lifts it up. It’s honestly not that bad, but it is noticeable. “P-plus I think it helps with getting people to listen to me. It makes it look like I’ve seen some s-s-sh-poop.”

Dalsim turns around to face her.

“Eyes front! Don’t let your guard down.”

He jumps at the order. “Yes ma’am.”

“When did this happen?” You whisper to Clair.

“I know right. Isn’t it hot?” She composes herself. “She went a bit overboard when you got captured.

It’s only been a few weeks. Granted, they’ve been really long weeks, but you guess people change at the pace of life, not time.

The main group as a PC and some sort of other device on the back of a Torterra. Electric pokemon work to power it.

“We’ve got a machine that stops Hornbeams mind invasions. At least, in a big enough radius to keep us safe.”

That’s a relief.

You’ll probably have a few minutes before reaching Hornbeams vaulted room. You don’t know what you’re going to face, but you’ll probably want a wide variety of options to deal with it.

You swap Levi and Raistlin for Oberon and Fel.

You look around. “Hey, where’s Vance and Jeanine? And all the others?”

“We split up, just in case there’s a trap or something. They’re taking the secret back tunnel.” Clair rolls her eyes.

“Not a fan of this plan?”

She keeps her voice down. “Just worried.” She hugs your arm quickly. “I’m sick of everyone I care about being in danger.”

You smile back.

“Ugh. Gross. You really need a shower.” Clair pushes away.

“I tried to tell her that earlier.” Violet walks ahead.

You reach a huge, reinforced vault door. It’s the main lab.

The group turns to Zoe, one of the Team Imperium members from the temple that’s been helping. “There was a smaller, weaker one here before. He must have activated a secret security measure or something.”

There’s a rush of noise coming from the back. “We’ve got company!”

A swarm of Pokemon start pouring down the hall towards your group.

“What do we do?”

Robin thinks. “Reserve team. Time to shine. Remember our drills. Careful with sound moves in the tunnels.” She turns her attention back to the vault.

The rest of the group takes a defensive position. They’re cautious and ready to back up anyone that gets overwhelmed.

“Porygon!” You say.

Of course!” She looks to Professor Fir. He nods.

Instead of using the Pokedex like you expected, she grabs a cable from her pocket, sticks one end in her eye, and the other into the terminal.

“He’s been helping with it. You should see her eye laser now. It’s-”

He ducks as an attack comes by. You throw out Fel to help with Tailwind and powders. You take it a little easy since you don’t want to mess with the teamwork of the unit, but your help makes a difference.

“We’re in!” The huge vault door starts opening.

Fir stops at the console. “Porygon! Use the electrical grid and get out of here!”

It’s huge and dark inside. You, Robin, Clair, Violet, Fir, Schechena, and Geno get through before there’s a crash behind you. A huge Pokemon came through the side wall and is attacking the others from behind.

Lugia.

“Go! Close the door!” Alex yells. “Stop Hornbeam!”

Geno, Schechena, and Clair move to go back and help the group.

Random thought, but I could imagine that Hornbeam has already messed with Violet's mind, we should be careful in case he tries saying a keyword or something to trigger her to attack us.

>>49049779
Or US for that matter

>>49049799
No, we specifically had not even seen or heard anything from him. Unless it was a deep trance or whatever, but then I doubt he would have let us get this far.

It’s the wildest idea you’ve had in a long time, but if it works...

Damn. You don’t have one. But you’re part of a team. “Does anyone have a quick ball?”

Clair stops mid-run. “What? Sure.” She grabs a ball from her bag and tosses it to you. She knows time is a factor for whatever you’re planning. You didn’t expect her to toss it to you, but that works.

You catch it and throw it through it.

“That’s your plan!” Clair looks furious.

It goes over Schechena’s head, passed Geno’s ear, through the vault door and under an Ice Beam. Lugia is no ordinary Pokemon, though. It turns to deflect the pitiful attempt to capture it with a psychic barrier. But the ball carries like a curveball on the wind and zips up and over, hitting it squarely in the head.

The Legendary Pokemon vanishes in a ball of light. The fight comes to a seeming standstill as the ball hits the ground. It wiggles.

Wiggles.

Wiggles.

No. No way.

Click.

The ball vanishes in a ball of light since you have six on you.

The team fighting doesn’t have much time to celebrate, but there are clear shouts of victory. They start a fighting retreat through the vault door now that they have their back covered. You’ve just made this a million times easier.

“My ball! That was my ball!” Clair tries and fails to announce to everyone over the sounds. Clair knows the rules for this sort of thing. Lending a Pokeball doesn’t give you ownership over the caught Pokemon.

>>49050171
seconding this. it's psychic, and we have Aria

>>49049927
One thing you guys are probably not considering is what -Lugia- wants.

Like as a Legendary Pokemon its opinion probably has weight, and might consider it to be like the will of Arceus or whatever.

Now if it doesn't really have much opinion of us one way or the other, we can discuss trading it.

“What did you think I was going to use it for?”

Clair raises a finger and opens her mouth, but her expression changes. “Well. I- You could have a plan where...”

She shakes her head as you run forward. She’s terrified, you can tell, but she’s masking it. “You’re such a butt.”

You stop as the room lights up.

Hornbeam has his helmet on and he’s fiddling with some controls and beakers. He’s behind some sort of clear plastic or glass wall across the huge open lab.

“Just need a little more time!” He mutters to himself. Mewtwo is unconscious beside him, hooked up in some sort of tube. There are wires hooked up to it.

What really concerns you are the massive cages in the room to the sides. Huge, two story tall cages rippling with electricity. You think you can see huge Pokemon in them, but they flicker in and out. What you see in the closest one reminds you of Dialga, though.

In the center of the room is a huge platform. Machines with antennas point towards it, like he’s going to summon something. Violet narrows her eyes.

Hornbeam looks up from his work to see you and your group. Specifically you and Robin. “You two.”

Clair throws up her shoulders. “Seriously? Come on.” Nobody seems to hear her.

“Why are you fighting me? Do you even know what I’m planning to do? Do you even care?” His voice projects through speakers from behind his plastic wall.

Robin leans close. “The other team should be sneaking in the back.”

“I’ll destroy that little toy that keeps me out of your head in a moment, but first I want you to understand why you’re so wrong.”

The group crowds around the Torterra with the device.

>Stall. Ask Hornbeam about his plan

I don't think Dialga would object to sending Hornbeam to the heat death of the universe, do you?

>>49050382
So what are the chances he actually has a good plan?

Given his prior position of "living in harmony with pokemon is bullshit", I'm guessing not likely?

Guys, what if we destroy the antennas? It seems unlikely that they're for something completely different, so that will be the most effective way to foil his immediate plans.

>reminds you of Dialga?

Also, come on guys, we made pretty good strides with Violet, and Robin looks a lot cooler, and it doesn't really seem like that many people died. You use the time travel device when all seems lost, not when you're right about to win.

I'm pretty sure they're not. The cages and machines and platform are all right in front of us, Hornbeam's wall is in the back of the lab.

Unfortunately Mewtwo is out of range.

>>49050526
My b.
>>49050511
We can just use this to fuck up what he has going on, not to undo too much. Also this is to interact with the thing in the cage I think.

>>49050545
Eh, I don't know, I just really have a bad feeling about resetting, especially wasting it.

>>49050560
Damnit, I don't think stalling is a good idea but I feel like using Dialga's power NOW is even worse.

What are you guys thinking with these choices?

>>49050560
We still don't actually know HOW it works, this could also cause the thing to break out of the cage. When in doubt we turn down the offer and hop back in place, because talking to the god of time probably means not much happens.

Hornbeam was dicking around with the genIV legendaries in an attempt to unleash Giratina. We just did his job for him, somehow, now it's us and Dialga VS Hornbeam, Giratina, and probably mega Mewtwo.

You see it. The outline of something awe inspiring. It’s not totally here, but part of it is.

Arceus.

“Why should they have so much power? Are humans not the masters of Pokemon? Is that not the title you squabble over?” He starts gesturing and walking. You take this opportunity to take out your flute and softly play.

“It’s a cosmic injustice, isn’t it? That one species is delegated to constantly support the other. To live their lives worrying about the other.”

“You’re right about that,” Violet interjects. Her Pokemon viciously growl in his direction.

You keep playing.

Hornbeam smiles down at her condescendingly. “It won’t matter what small minded philosophy you try to push. A Pokemon is just a Pokemon, and they all work the same way. These ones might be more powerful, but the basics behind capturing and controlling them must be the same. With human ingenuity, I’ve found how to rewrite the very rules of our universe. I’ll take their gifts and put it to good use for everyone. Imagine a world where humans can do everything that Pokemon can. Where they no longer have a reason to be catered to. In fact, maybe I’ll just not have them exist any more at all.”

The figure flickers into view again. You hear terrible pained noises from the two cages. Mewtwo reaches out and does something to keep them from fighting too hard. Row upon row of psychic Pokemon in cages behind him light up as they help.

You close your eyes and play. By now the sound is echoing and he finally starts paying attention to it.

Arceus’s outline flickers away and is replaced with Dialga’s. The mighty time god appears directly on the platform in all of it’s full presence.

Time slows to a crawl.

“What! No. What did you do? It wasn’t designed for this!”

Robin looks around the facility again. A realization hits her. “It’s like a massive, super powered master ball.”

(continued)

>>49051343
Like honestly depending on how Gobble interprets this, we could have just auto-failed the whole fucking quest by giving Hornbeam control over time.

Now I'm hoping Dialga will just go "fuck that, clean up your own human messes" but we probably won't be let off that easy.

>>49051364
>>49051370
Goddamnit you guys, instead of stopping him from catching God, we made it so he can "only" control Time.

>>49051398
Either that or we accidentally -killed- Dialga.

>>49051364
How does Kat know about Arceus? Is it common knowledge or am I forgetting about us learning about it.

>>49051398
no, I think we're about to BREAK time

>>49051364
The machine activates and hit’s Dialga. It roars through your memories. The plastic protecting him shatters and the cages burst open. He ducks and keeps working. The figures in the other cages become more clear. Giratina and Palkia. You can’t let the awe of all this get to you, though.

“Fools! This isn’t what I wanted, but I have all the time in the world to do as I please!” There’s an audible amount of concern in his voice despite his words.

The aspects of Palkia and Giratina that are both here and not here begin fighting in confusion. Just watching it for a second is like looking at impossible shapes come to life. You're just glad they're not turning their attention to you.

He furiously works his console now, re-calibrating and adjusting his plans. “Mewtwo! Destroy that device that protects them from me! Summon everyone!" Something explodes near him. "Also, protect me.”

A new flood of Pokemon rushes over the defenders in the back. The facility erupts into chaos as Dialga fights to keep the machines from capturing it.

Because of it’s incredible status and power, and not being the Pokemon Hornbeam was going for, Dialga is able to put up some resistance to being fully captured and controlled.

Aria kicks a Pokemon that flies at you. It’s total chaos. Everything is going wrong for everyone. Violet rushes ahead.

Geno looks horrified. “If the legends about Giratina are true, we have to stop it. It’s supposed to rage out of control at anything outside of it’s realm.”

>>49051506
That sounds painful.

>>49051506
We could, but I'm not sure what consequences fucking a cosmic flute might have. I mean we've seen what happens when we blow on it the wrong way...

>>49051343
That's the best narrative. It's the other side of the coin to what Hornbeam is attempting. Failing makes it perfect. The real answer isn't to depend on powerful Pokemon we don't have a bond with. It's to rely on our friendship.

>>49051450
>>Help Dialga (it may be unhappy with you if it gets free. You don’t know)
If Dialga is already mad at us, it'll only be madder if we don't help it
>>Defend the device. Fight off whatever Pokemon go for it
This seems like the "safest" choice, pretty much admitting that we shouldn't make plans anymore, but let our allies figure this shit out
>>Go after Hornbeam
Probably the best move to ending this, but with Mewtwo guarding him I'm not really sure -how- we can pull that off
>>Try to free Mewtwo
This is the second-best thing we could do, but I still have no idea how we'd manage it.
>>Try to calm everyone with your flute
That'd be nice, but I really don't trust the flute right now.

Oh wait I just remembered Robin has a ditto! She can replicate one of the legendaries to help us.

I mean probably, but maybe not. Might just want to become the final boss instead of Hornbeam.

>>49051774
nah dude. It's the fourth roll that fucked us up here: if we weren't blessed by the god of music, we'd have done well here. there's a few other times too, I think, where we actually outdo Aria in duet performances

>>49051805
Yeah, it is kind of annoying that our bonus die for being so good screwed us over once, but I'm sure it helped before in the past and we rolled like three 90+ on the Lugia catch. What goes around comes around.

oh, I know part of it is our insane luck so far this thread and yesterday, but I actually don't think that bonus die has EVER been helpful

Violet runs to Mewtwo. Her Pokemon surround her and protect her as she rests a hand on it’s tube.

You decide to help Dialga.

“Devon! Oberon! Destroy those antennas!”

Devon fires a Fire Blast at one and weakens it. They’re surprisingly sturdy. Oberon finishes it off with a slash. You have Dan and Destiny run interference to cover them and yourself. Fel supports with powders.

They explode and Dialga pulses out an energy blast that hits both Pokemon. They recover quickly. You can’t tell if that was intentional on not, though.

“Keep going, guys! You’re doing great!”

Oberon moves slowly, but Devon is hasted. With each antenna broken, Dialga is able to fight back harder. It’s weakening fast, though.

“Last one! Let’s go!”

Devon weakens it out with several fire blasts in a row. Oberon and Aria finish the ray.

Dialga weakly turns to you. It just gives you a look of acknowledgment before rushing to aide Palkia.

“It doesn’t matter,” you hear Hornbeam muttering. It seems he forgot he still has the speakers on. “Data scanned. I can replicate this. It’s all Pokemon. Pokemon all work by the same rules in the end.”

Palkia and the weakened Dialga seem about evenly matched with Giratina, but that could swing in favor of one side or the other at any moment.

You look to your friends around the Torterra. They’re putting up an incredible fight. If you hadn’t stopped Lugia they’d be worn down to nothing by now.

Robin and her Pokemon help Palkia and Dialga against Giratina. She’s not dishing out powerful blows, but she’s able to set the others up for great opportunities.

>>49052118
Like on the one hand if we help Violet help Mewtwo, we can probably clean things up here pretty quick.

On the other, if we at least slow Hornbeam down, we can stop him from turning the tables on us and let our allies finish their work.

Mewtwo is in a tube and last I checked was controlling pokemon around the room while hooked up to a machine for Hornbeam.

It's not so much 'controlled' as Violet is still dealing with it.
Please note, Robin is fighting Giratina at the moment, and that's somehow lower priority right now.

You decide to go for Hornbeam. The last thing you need is him pulling another trick. Your Pokemon cover you as you rush over. Attacks and Pokemon fly at you, and even a stray beam from Palkia as the mighty beings battle.

Hornbeam sees you coming and stops working. His big helmet flops as turns his head.

“You fool. I’ve always been in control. You’ve been around psychics. You should know that there’s telepathy,” he reaches out a hand and makes a crushing gesture. “And telekinesis.”

You look over to the Torterra. The device on it’s back is crushed.

“Ha! Hahahaha!” He laughs. “I could never be stopped!” He opens his arms wide. “Now. Pokemon! Handle those legendaries until I have this sorted. Humans...” He grins wickedly, locking eyes with you. “Kneel.”

You stand there. Your Pokemon walk up alongside you. You don’t feel any compulsion at all to do what he says. You look at the others. Nobody seems to be doing what he says.

Robin glances back to you as she coordinates the fight against Giratina. Her eye glows hard, like it’s being taxed.

Son of a...that’s the real device!

Hornbeam’s arrogance vanishes. He's still dangerous though. That telekinesis could do something nasty.

He reaches into a pocket.

I don't know, it's possible that he can set up psionic barriers and shit so he actually won't go down easy, but I do not at all think that being torn to shreds by pokemon will end well.

Like they might be legally bound to put down our pokemon. At minimum we'll traumatize them really badly.

>>49052520
Hornbeam genetically made pokemon that constantly feel pain and explode corrosive goop when defeated. Killing him quickly is a mercy.

>>49052439
>Have your Pokemon attack. Don’t hold anything back

Attack alongside them, as well, if possible. We can't ask this of somebody without being willing to do it ourselves.

KILL HORNBEAM.

>>49052439
>Have Pokemon incapacitate him
>>49052542
But that probably isn't needed now. Like even though it won't make us near as bad as he is, it's still a kind of evil thing to do.

Maybe not, but fuck Hornbeam. I don't think anyone will blame us for getting caught up in the moment when GODS ARE FIGHTING ALL AROUND US.

Have Zappy Dan cling to Hornbeam and use explosion. We do have him on us, right?

>>49052604
Not sure if you're serious, but I doubt Hornbeam being alive or dead would affect that at all. Kat doesn't strike me as the type to feel super guilty given what Hornbeam has done.

>>49052630
That is the worst possible thing we could do I think.

>>49052605
Kat will blame herself you fucking chump.

Hornbeam's been a shitty influence on this quest, and you assholes are letting him drag down the epilogue as well just because you don't like him. He can rot in jail just fine.

Honestly you guys are really kind of dumb aren't you?

>>49052588
Mercy is a luxury for when you've already won. Until that point, holding back just increases the risk that we fuck up and lose a fight we could have won.

>>49052643
Feel free to leave pal, if you honestly think this will effect Kat as much as the eye incident or Aria's voice then you are dumb.

>>49052635
She's not a sociopath. Even if Hornbeam is pretty much Poke-Hitler, Kat's still a teenage girl whose never killed anyone before. It'll mess her up, and might mess up how other people see her as well.

>>49052643
Right back at ya. We've tried that. Twice. Do you know the definition of insanity?

>>49052643
All the times Kat held back on killing, it was mooks that weren't really threatening lives at the time. Calling people retards isn't going to convince anyone either.

>>49052439
Wow, shit went to hell, didn't it?

Looks like crisping Hornbeam is going to win though.

>>49052659
>Poke-Hitler
More like Mega Poke-Hitler who was literally harnessing gods to rule the world. If you think killing that person would make people think less of us you are a moron.
