Deoxys Prime Round 3

Deoxys is already Burned. A Helm-infused Fire Punch only exacerbates that Burn a little. It is super effective thanks to Forest's Curse, but it doesn't deal PDD.

Luna instantly FLYs up, getting out of reach of Prime.

Nathan is a blur as he leaps for the dangling threads of Luna. It can be a risky business, grabbing the coattails of a ghost, but Spira is a powerful ghost trainer with his Pokemon fully under control. Nathan only has to move a few inches as Luna passes directly overhead. With the Helm increasing his reaction time, Spira can order Luna to do very specific things and Luna gets there seemingly instantly. It's more of a reaction for Nathan.

Nathan has to roll Athletics as his first action, 13d6 -5 actions = 8d6.
Athletics 1
(5)(3)(1)(6)(2)(2) (5)(2) Since Luna is helping you, that's more than enough.

You go soaring way up into the sky, much faster than your previous experiences with FLY. The legendary Helm combined with one of the most coveted Hidden Machines makes for an exhilarating and very dangerous ride.

Prime lashes out with a lethal attack, and despite the speed of Flight you can feel those energies crackling up through the soles of your shoes. This is considered an automatic critical evasion.

There's an anger in there now, which the alien intelligence has seldom experienced. It makes Shiva flinch whenever she opens her perceptions. Deoxys shifts into his most defensive forme as Princess dives in.

She commits fully to this, sensing how close to destruction Deoxys is. Bug attacks are now quad effective. Her Combee, as well as their commander, descend upon Deoxys and cover every inch of him. Biting, stinging, slicing with wings, sending SE Gusts, bludgeoning with Combee-walls, and simply boxing Deoxys in, they do their busy task. Heart swoops by, hurling gouts of Earthpower-flames, and is just in time to witness the rainbow colored gem slide out of its position in the heart of Deoxys' chest. It crumbles to ash immediately. Deoxys is now an ordinary mortal Pokemon.

A Crunch from Quetzal, a Nature Power from Trevenant, a barrage of spells from Cosh and the Scims, and the sudden reappearance of the League. Deoxys is doused in flames, darkness, ghostly energy, and a dozen other attacks from some of the strongest Pokemon in Creshire, and Deoxys is torn to literal shreds. There are piles of alien flesh everywhere, long ribbons of them drifting on the wind and being carefully rounded up by Bo.

Melly returns with the Shield at the end of this Round!

That still isn't the end of the alien invader. An ethereal, Psychic-only version of Deoxys still stands. Even the slight gust of the Combee wings is enough to make it flutter in and out of existence. It lashes out with death throes, delivering psychic Cuts to the landscape and the brave defenders of Creshire. Trevenant's walking trees have curled their roots around the psychic forme of Deoxys and decrease the damage somewhat, at one point preventing Deoxys from hitting the MSC crystals where the prisoners reside.

Death Throes 2-5, -2 accuracy from Trevenant, -4 debuffs. Two at Nathan as he flies back down, 2 at various features of the town.

(6)(6)(3)(5)(2)(6) (6)(5)(3)(2) Nathan takes 11 (nonlethal) damage and faints. Luna and Quetzal take 11 dmg too. Quetzal was Full Restored by this point so is fine.

Trevenant makes the attacks aimed at Martha and Mallorn miss.

(5)(5)(1)(4)(4)(4)(6) (3)(2)(1)(6) Corporal Wake takes 7 damage but remains standing. His Dratini also takes the 7 damage but has HP to spare. Two of Bo's Pokemon take the hit without flinching and get recalled by their shepherd, who winks at the nearby Shiva because she didn't get to spot what species his Pokemon are. Shiva, of course, has only just picked up the Shield again, and the psychic attack washed over her with no effect.

Deoxys' final attacks also spread fire everywhere, sending up the ruined battlefield in the northern part of town ablaze. The E4 with the Charizard has released some Flash Fire Pokemon who are drawing it in, and Wake sends his Growlithe to do the same.

Half of Elanor and half of Trillium have been nearly leveled, but the rest of Creshire is entirely safe - thanks to you, thanks to the makers of the Artifacts, and thanks to the little Ralts who started it all with a vision and an idea. Among the rubble, Quetzal still has orders to protect Nathan. He flies along, dragging his tail through the debris to flip over large flaming chunks of it, and Heart notices the Moltres Egg glowing again. It is not emanating Earthpower, but rather responding to another manifestation of Earthpower somewhere.

It's Nathan's body, with no visible wounds but unconscious from the Night Shade. As you watch, he suddenly stands up and staggers forward, still afflicted with 3 pain but no longer fainted. He looks tougher, despite everything he's been through - or perhaps because of it.

Cosh sticks around long enough to make sure everyone sees him, and even appears in a few pictures wearing his Hauberk. Then he begins to FLY away. Marco winks at Meowstic as Cosh rebounds off an invisible barrier on the edge of the battlefield and comes crashing to the ground.
"Meowstic's Mean Look has a few Surprises... like all my Pokemon. It's something you wouldn't understand, wizard.
