Kogeki then see towards Kee. "You do have a point of distrust me or Nami, but I owe you not apology. The only thing you been doing towards me is act hostile. If I were you, I would be careful in how you treat others. Even more towards a ninja. Because..." Then Kogeki take out the sword from the ground and go in the direction of the bridge ready to summon Nagi. "...You could wake in the next morning with a Kunai close to your neck." (...)

Spoiler

Oh, Kee's not impressed or intimidated by that, by far not if that was the hidden intention. "Now you're overexagerrating though, Kogeki, if you see my behaviour to you as 'acting hostile'." Octavia gives the ninja a careful and pleading glance that directly says 'You don't want to see my dearest owner mad or riled up, there's a reason why I am usually out and by his side.... {{ (>_<) }} ' "And you could wake up with an arm featuring an AI that does what it wants aka what I want when I program it, or with sparkling blue ribbons slug around your neck, ready to squeeze the life out with joy like a Seviper that has pinched down a defenseless Zangoose."

Aya on the other hand, being the proud and beautiful performer as she is, isn't happy at all to share the stage with that any other Pokemon. She makes sure to give a short snarl at them all to express her displeasure, and throws a semi-insulted glaze over to Kee who returns that one with a sly smile however. "Nono, don't be down and mad right away, dear. In fact, here is your chance to shine, do what you can do best!~~ Yes, that means you can use that move of yours."

Oh that certainly lights up her mood, causing Aya to clear her throat, adjust her beautiful scarf, rise up and throw her arms open wide all to indeed do what she can do best: SING AT FULL VOLUME WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS, even aiming to drown out that Boomburst!!! Fooooool, does that small parrot does not get that SHE is the star?! Well, she'll SHOW 'em then!! (>0<)

Cold Steel Round 1

Lopunny tries to protect herself, but this isn't a situation where using this move is likely to be very beneficial.

Magic Coat 1
(5)(5)(6)(1)(3)(4)
Lopunny shrouded herself with Magic Coat!

Beethoven and Aya end up holding an impromptu competition to see who's louder.

Boomburst 1
(1)(1)(6)(4)(5)(2)(6)(3)(4) (I'll be nice and say Beethoven doesn't spend the Will Point)
Sparkling Aria Clash 1: (6)(5)(5)(5)(2)(6)(4)(3)(1)(5)(3) 7 successes, which successfully Clashes with Boomburst and cancels out the potential crit.  The sheer amount of bubbles that Aya's performance creates dampens the sound of both her attack and Beethoven's.  This also means that both moves hit everyone simultaneously, though, enemy and ally alike!

Boomburst damage
13 - 6 Pow = 7 base
3 D6 against Randolph (- 4 Sp Def)
5 D6 against Brigid and the snowshrews (- 2 Sp Def)

Rapidash takes 3 damage! 2/9 HP -2 Pain
Karen takes 2 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain

Core takes 2 damage! 1/7 HP -3 Pain
Kee takes 2 damage! 2/8 HP -2 Pain

Suddenly all by themselves and reeling from the burst of Sound, the Alolan Sandslash start to back up and regroup!  They keep attacking as they start to retreat, though!

Icicle Crash D 1
9 - 2 - 1 - 2 = 4 D6
(3)(2)(2)(1) Miss!

Now that there's fewer enemies, and they're all backed into a corner, Gama can attempt to finish most of them off in one fell swoop!  He blows bubbles across a wide area in front of him!

Bubble 1
(4)(3)(3)(2)(2)(1)
(4)(4)(2)(5) A-Sandslash A-C take 2 damage and faint!

Core, thoroughly annoyed that his music has been interrupted by all that background noise, spits fire in the direction of the last target.

Flamethrower 1
(6)(6)(3)(4) A-Sandslash D takes at least 2 damage and faints!
(5)



The snowshrews now completely wiped out and the concert finished, the frigid room falls eerily quiet, aside from the faint howling of the wind coming from the floor below.

Now that the danger has been dealt with, there's plenty of opportunity to lick wounds, catch pokemon, and safely proceed across the ice in whatever manner the group decides to.

Oh, and possibly berate each other.  That too, I suppose.  If that Boomburst had been at its full Strength, it could have very well fainted more than just the enemy.

Every trainer gets 6 exp.  Every pokemon that participated gets 6 exp as well, with the exception of Gama and Susano'o, who get 3 instead because Ralts gets 6 exp from her Exp. Share.

Kogeki and his companions had little time to prepare themselves for such strong coming from their said companions. First he see a huge sound explosion happening, hitting his clothes and and face with such strong attack. Then he was hit by a pressure of water who hit him also badly. The surprise attack was enough to destroy a portion of his mask. By instinct he hide his face with the piece of his black clothes.

When Gama finish off the foes, Kogeki has some drops of blood of his body. It was a powerful attack, and his clothes was not built to resist such amount of damage.

Gama and Susano'o was not in better state. They are badly injured. Kogeki try to stand up. "A warning next time would be great. We get really serious injured." Said Kogeki hiding his face as best his can. He would prefer death to let anyone see his face. "But can't argue with the results. Should have used Surf to complete the show I guess."

Gama and Susano'o didn't let anyone get closer to Kogeki and them. They know how their master is sensitive about his face so they gonna defend it.

Ran is equally displeased with both his partner's not really subtly hostile behavior towards each other, stomping right between the two and spreading his arms wide and  palms outward in a display that clearly communicated the notion for them to cut that shit out, looking at Kogeki and Kee like they were being idiots.

"Enough! If you guys want to mangle each other's throats, do it off and AFTER our investigation and job is over! Until then,EVERYONE needs  towork together without threatening to kill each other, or we won't survive whatever madness is crapping out of Mt. Coronet and fertilizing a blood damn budding worldwide disaster! Even if you don't hold a troy ounce of affection or trust with each other, grit your teeth like an Ursaring and bear with it, so we can all get our work DONE safely and effectively as we can arse it! Understand?"

Aya's debut on the icy stage caught both Ran's and Beethoven's attention, but for different reasons. The bristly blacksmith, his temper still foul and steaming mad at the snowy moles, gave the colourful musician a somewhat confused/cross look, as sending a Fairy type against a pack of ornery seemed like asinine idea to him. Then he heard their Orders and saw the fanciful looking sea otter gear up for a bombastic Performance of her own, and put two and two together, shocking him out of his anger and making him realize that maybe he jumped the gun with his own commands.

"Oh Scheiße Kekse. Ich glaube, ich habe es hier versaut....."

Best buddy, meanwhile, took Aya's appearance with mild and a friendly sort of curiosity, until she made it known to him that not only was she a fellow singer like, but she meant to challenge him in a Shouting Contest. That change his tune completely, the prospect of such a competition thrilling him, sending his wings fluttering in cheerful excitement, and emboldening his own musical spirit to new height! Oh joy, oh sweet joy, wasn't this a wonderful surprise for him! Now he would really give it his all then with his own BOOMING SONG, for it wouldn't do to disappoint the Fairy lady with a lackluster Perfomance, no no! 

In fact, he had just the song for this, hearing it once from some Punk that was blaring it at a dinner in Jubalife once (before Ran thrashed them in a battle)! How did it go again.....oh, like this: 

For too long, the human race has ignored the signs

Your planet is nearing destruction

Salvation is reserved for those who pass the test

If you survive, an elevated existence awaits



Initiate Phase 1


Power up the bass cannon




FIRE

And then, for a brief instance, there was nothing but pure noise.

(...)

"Ja ... das war eine schlechte Idee. Zumindest hat es aber geklappt. Auuugh....."
Translation: Yeah....that was a bad idea. At least it worked, though. Auuugh.....
Ran staggered in place for a moment, sore and disoriented from the sheer volume of the combine vocal assault of his living recorder and the aquatic actor, until he managed to shake it off and managed to use a Potion on him (cursing when it nearly fell from his shaky grasp), fully restoring his health!

"Pwaaah.....that's much better...."

Mental and physical faculties fully restored, he took that moment to look around at his group, and winced when he saw the harmful havoc he helped cause.

"Omph.....looks like I wasn't the only one that suffered a doozy from that.....singing contest."

*Sighs, and facepalms* 

"Sorry about that, everyone. Here, let me fix y'all up. Least I can do, seeing as I was partially responsible for giving your eardrum a thorough blasting...."

Randolph proceeds to give Kogeki, Karen, and Kee a Super Potion to fully restore their HP (Running out of them in the process), and hands out 1 Potion for each Pokemon (Leaving him with 12). He also Revives Brigid and gives her a Potion, fully restoring her HP, and returning Beethoven to his ball and then to the PC, replacing them with Catherine, though not before congratulating him for his outstanding Performance.

"Ya did good, buddy. Ya did good. Thank you for saving our bacon. Take a nice, long breather, and don't worry about suffering the cold here anymore."

He also apologized to his coal muncher, rubbing the back of his head as he did so.

"Forgive for getting ya clocked clean, girl. Wasn't really thinking straight, when I Ordered Beethoven to use Boomburst, or expect Kee to pull out his pretty looking otter to create a right racket together. Think ya can still handle clearing the Ice here, and keeping us safe?" (IE: More INFERNOS from her)

As for the A-Snowshrew, Ran would want to catch 1 of the Sandslashes and 3 of those Sandshrews (Essentially 1/4 of the horde), first asking if anyone could Paralyze them (all the Sands) first to make it easier to ball them. Each Sandshrew/slash will get two Pokeballs each to catch them, or 2 Great Balls for the Sandslash if they manage to break out of the first Pokeball. He may or may not capture more, though, depending on if anyone else will leave any uncaught. (Any Items on the Sands, btw Dragonstrike?)

Candince would get sent out on the ice to check for any clues/loot/suspicious stuff, and is asked to come back to Ran ASAP if she does (or if danger comes her way).

Kogeki's......reaction about his mask earned him not a small amount of concern and interest from Ran, which only grew as he saw his aquatic samuri/ninja close ranks around him to shield him from scrutiny. He didn't try to approach them, though, as he would respect any man's desire for privacy, but he did call out to them.

".....You going to be okay, Kogeki? If you'll let me, I can probably fix up that mask of yours in a jiffy. Promise I won't look at ya face, too. Can also make ya a Steel or Aluminum Mask later, so you have a mask that you won't worry about breaking again. How's all that sound?"

"Understood." Simple said Kogeki towards Rans when he talks toward Kogeki and Kee.

Kogeki accepted the potion offered, and patch his wounds, always having the care to not show his face. He took a moment to look to his scarf and whisper something:

"Forgive me, Shimo." 

Then he takes the white scarf and wrap around his face, until the only visible thing was only his eyes.

When Rans ask if he is okay and the offer in make the mask, he talk to him. "I can survive. Not the worse damage I ever received. I accept your offer my friend. Both offers. I will need a light mask easily to do stealth stuff.
