Big Stadium: South Entrance
Being carried like a child was embarrassing enough to make Odin’s lips contort into a tiny pout. “This is fun for you?” he asked Goldberg flatly while being whisked away inside.
Circa landed back on the ground and looked up at the stadium roof. Salaca flew above him, just in case one of Goldberg’s heavy pokemon decided to jump down. Aside from that, he wasn’t sure why Goldberg would position his cavalry so high up, but decided not to question it as he hopped over a wall of debris to follow the duo into the entrance tunnel.
“Above you,” he called back to Zack, just in case the explosion man didn’t notice all the huge pokemon looming above them.
Big Stadium: Ruined Stage
N
N gasped for air after escaping Henrietta’s cleavage. He readjusted his hat and nodded. “Zero! The portals!”
His Zoroark, still disguised as TK next to Sal and Wayne, responded by darting over towards the cannons. One Flamethrower would probably blow up a whole cannon, and the chain reaction might blow up the rest if they were close enough.
So when she closed enough distance, the false TK opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of fire at the farthest cannon.
Pachi
Pachi decided to sit cross legged on top of her portal. She cleaned out her ear with a pinky finger as she looked down.
The Haze had only provided temporary cover, but it was no matter. The portal she sat upon was too high above the stage for most of their attack ranges, and with the open side facing downwards, anything that shot up towards her would be absorbed into the Ghost World.
Case and point: As Daphne danced towards her, she was still far below on the ground. The Petal Dance’s range didn’t extend up high enough, and the stray leaves that did were simply swallowed into the portal.
Her eyes shifted over to the fireworks cannons. Roast had taken down one, leaving only nine. As soon as the Swanna chained her attack into the next Aerial Ace, Pachi formed a portal in front of the bird at point blank range. An abrupt shift of direction when using Aerial Ace was next to impossible, and she intended on taking advantage of that momentum.
Roast would be ejected out at Iron Hide’s side while another portal formed behind Robby, just as the chef rolled backwards to avoid a fireworks burst to catch him while he moved.
With a Swanna flying into his face, Iron Hide might be too distracted to destroy the portal that would swallow Robby. Even if he wasn’t, Pachi stuck another portal onto the back of the one catching Robby. With the solid sides of the portals facing each other, they covered their own weakspots.
After she caught Robby’s body, she’d drop him like a meteor upon Wayne and Salieri. In addition to that, she’d drop the remnants of Petal Dance all over them as well.
Pachi reformed the portals over the fireworks cannons Kai had destroyed before, increasing the intensity of the next wave of fireworks. This time, about half of the fireworks were concentrated around N and Henrietta.
Before Kai could slash through any of the cannons, portals opened near his arms to catch his Leaf Blade attacks. Any of his slashes would eject out of the portal next to Iron Hide and Frate at the two Rock Types, the one that was back to back with the portal catching Robby.
Zero’s Flamethrower was captured by a portal before it could destroy a cannon. The flames reemerged from a portal that formed at the corner of the stage. The portal would spin as the flames exited, sweeping horizontally once across the whole stage like a burning whip at ground level.
Salieri
Liuye Dao kept slashing at the fireworks. He was still keeping his trainer from harm whle keeping damage to himself minimum thanks to his reflexes and titanium body, but being forced on the defensive wasn’t getting them anywhere.
Salieri grimaced when she saw Daphne keep dancing. Because Pachi was more or less directly above the Battle Girl, it meant the Lilligant was getting dangerously close.
“She’s trying to make us hit each other,” the Battle Girl groaned, before remembering that she was late to this fight. “…but I guess you guys already knew that, huh?”
She shivered when two portals formed above her. “Up!” she yelped to Wayne while whipping the meteor hammer over her head, not knowing what to expect.
First came the petals Pachi had absorbed before. There weren’t many, and they had lost much of their momentum going through the Ghost World. Relatively easy to side step and deflect with her improvised weapon.
But now Robby would be falling out at the same time. And Sal sensed another dangerous portal formed near the corner of what used to be the stage.
When the Flamethrower swept across the floor, Salieri swung her meteor hammer down at the ground, upturning a chunk of the stage into a makeshift wall. It barely protected her and Liuye from the flames, and she could feel the heat licking burns into her skin. But it was better than getting completely scorched.
The hard part came when Robby dropped. Salieri braced herself, and dropped her weapon to reach up and catch the mountainous boy.
Her knees buckled on impact, and most of his weight was carried on her back. The ground underneath her collapsed slightly, forcing Salieri further downwards. She grit her teeth as she tried to speak under all the pressure.
“…off…of…me…”

By the 2nd attempt at a slash, Kai had caught on and quickly used double team in its after image form, making Pachi guess which of the 6 images was realy striking.
Kenta meanwhile moved to get at Pachi directly. Forgetting the plan of two man teams, he instead moved with full force, throwing up two pokeballs, both launching a gyarados at her from above.

As difficult as it was to pull out of Aerial Ace, Pachi had seemingly made a mistake in what was the full difficulty. Riding the currents after splitting the air meant that on both sides, and behind you, there was a force demanding you go along that specific path. The air was filling the point you split, and that was what gave you the speed, to her knowledge, as well as the biggest part of the difficulty.
The moment she passed through the portal, that changed. The air she had split was behind it, through it, she was no longer speeding up against her will, and there was no "wall" of air around her to hold her in, to fight her efforts to turn.
A tilt and a flap was what pulled her above Iron Hide just in time, and a water pulse, directly at the ground, and with how close she was it hitting it near-instantly, to fully recover her balance. Her eyes turned towards the cannons again, and the fatigue of relief, as well as a bit of pain from the sudden shifts, was washing over the bird, but her decision was clear. Break those damn cannons.
Wing moved, once again moving to cut the air... This time an air slash traveling along the path. Fireworks barely launched were the aim, though it would be similar, basically the same, as when she cut the air for Aerial Ace in physical appearance, with her target definitely vague, as easily being the cannons as what was just about to be launched.
If it worked, the slash would cut the fireworks, with luck allowing some powder to hit the flames that propelled them, and cause a premature burst, as well as, perhaps, that chain reaction that would take out plenty of cannons...
And if she was right, Roast would have a portal to dodge.
Robby, meanwhile, had no choice but to fall, and in the next moment, get off of Sally. "Sorry..." He grumbled, looking up at the ghost woman. Definitely getting on his nerves. "Y'alright?"

Takamaru
"No! Robby!" Tk grabbed onto The Large Boy in a vain attempt to pull him to safely, Failing. Instead he was yanked from his grasp and into the portal. Thankfully his partner exited the other portal above Sal, not that he didn't fear for the battle girls safely, just that its better than Robby drifting in the ghost world.
Tk Flinched when Robby landed Upon Sal, Salieri catching the Large Boy. Takamaru had a new found respect and fear for the battle Girl and her Strength.
Turning Tk Witnessed Iron Hide Effectively Dodge The Leaf blade's. Since he was closest to the oncoming attack, Frate should have most likely Taken the hint that something was coming and dodged as well. The Trio hadnt made much more progress toward the cannons when the wave of fire was launched at them.
"Protect!" The tiny trainer called. Iron Hide Followed by lifting up a see through green barrier Over Himself, Frate and Tk.
When the threat of being burnt to a cinder by the toung of fire passed, Tk took off again for the Cannon's. considering that Roast's attack was un-successful. However he started his sprint a moment too Soon leaving Iron Hide's and Frate's Range of cover for only a moment, Hopefully no attack's where aimed a him in those few moments it would take for Iron Hide and Frate to re act.
Takamaru Clone
the Tk clone Sighed when Kenta Broke formation, But backed him up by ushering Saria toward's Pachi. "Where not supposed to have more than one Pokemon out.." The clone mumbled, Absolutely no one heard him.
If in the off chance that the Clone Tk and Saria made it within spitting distance of Pachi, He would have Saria Launch a barrage of Air cutter's before swiftly moving into position behind Pachi, To fire the Always invisible to the naked Eye, Air Slash.
The Clone did this in the hopes of Pachi Seeing Himself and Kenta as the more immediate problems, He avoided using the word Threat since none of them seemed to be one against pachi, and would there for Re direct the attack back at them instead of the rest of the crew down below, giving them time to do what ever it was they had planed....

Henrietta
"Hold on!" Henrietta called as she focused on her crystals creation. One big burst would see the crystal shield forming into a barrier. Before they were overwhelmed by fireworks they would be covered by the dome. And then Henrietta would collapse, out of breath and clearly over her limit, swords dropping to the ground at either side of her.
Frate saw Daphne in all the chaos. The one trick they had left, and they were out of time to make use on it. Like this they were only recovering from each other's attempts to fight Pachi. This was the end of the game, they were tired and hurt and some of them had used way too much aura to keep going.
Basically, this was the end.
Frate jumped forward and slammed his appendages into the ground. He'd trained for hours and hours to perfect this technique - a variation of exploding the ground into the face of the opponent. This time, it would explode out from under Daphne's feet, if she stepped right it would rocket her up.
Wayne
Wayne landed near Salieri after being saved from the portal, and now Robby fell upon them. Wayne stayed where he was when Salieri caught the obese lad and he looked to the side as the fire hit Salieri's makeshift wall. He felt his arm burn and winced. His attention moved elsewhere, looking toward Pachi.
"This would be easier if she only had one opponent. We can't do this as a group," Wayne said. Too many impulsive decisions, they were spending more time recovering from each other. They'd hit Pachi all of one time now.
Daphne rode the attack, dancing upon it, leaves all around her. If Pachi made a portal, her leaves would destroy it. Far too chaotic to try and hold her, and circular portals meant a perfect defense didn't exist.
So Daphne would move upwards, destroying all in her path - any defense or deterrent Pachi had could not hold up.
And then came the final blow, the last Petal Dance, the final assault upon Pachi, leaves would explode forward, too wide to contain, too many to even defend against if you tried to cover portals all around you.
Even if Pachi escaped through a portal, they could follow. Even if she escaped the majority of them, one little leaf could gash her significantly.
At the height of her power, using her strongest attack, at the height of this battle - this would be the last attack. Nothing else could come this close again.
As all things faded from the assault, the only hope was that they could significantly wound Pachi. If she hit, if Daphne could land a solid blow?
This fight was over.

Big Stadium: Ruined Stage
N
N looked up and around at the tiny crystal dome that surrounded him and Henrietta. It was hard to see outside of it, but he could hear the fireworks tapping on the outside as harmlessly as rain. He wondered how long the barrier would hold.
A flat, green arrow spun in a circle on his palm, like a recycling symbol. “Don’t move,” he told Henrietta as he pushed his palm up against her stomach.
It was impossible for him to restore other reserves of Aura using his own, at least for now. But with his power, he could at least restore Henrietta’s vitality. Her Aura reserves wouldn’t return like this, but her exhaustion would fade away.
“I haven’t healed your wounds. Be careful.”
Zero returned to her true form. Considering how she just breathed fire, it was safe to assume that Pachi knew she wasn’t TK. With attacks continuously being redirected, there wasn’t much she could do. So she waited to make her next move.
Pachi
Attackers were shifting to surround her. It was check, but not yet checkmate. Pachi stood up straight on her portal platform and looked up at the two falling pokeballs.
Instead off playing guessing games with Kai to find out which Double Team afterimage was the real Gallade, Pachi created portals in front of all of them instead. No matter which Gallade it was, the right one would have it’s Leaf Blade absorbed once more.
Roast’s Air Slash sliced through the fireworks before they could enter through the portals as a whole, but the portals still absorbed the multi colored smoke and lights. Two portals formed above Pachi to eject that smoke and light at the two Gyarados that were falling towards her.
The smoke would wash over the real Gyarados’s body harmlessly. It would go right through the false Gyarados, indicating which one was really Zorua. Once she knew, she started the next step of her plan.
Air Cutter was just as invisible as Air Slash, but she could judge its general trajectory by the tilt of Saria’s wings. To compensate for it’s wider range, she formed a door sized portal at her side to swallow the barrage before closing that portal and jumping up higher into the air. The door sized portal faded away once it took the attack in it’s entirety.
The portal she had previously stood upon continuously absorbed more of Daphne’s Petal Dance. It closed right before Daphne was within the range to destroy it, having absorbed more of Petal Dance than before.
Kai’s Leaf Blade emerged from a new portal just as Saria was about to launch her Air Slash. The Leaf Blade would tap at her wing, changing the attack’s trajectory at the last second to go directly downwards at the stage.
Once she was close enough to her destination, Pachi curled up into a ball and somersaulted, minimizing her body’s surface area as much as possible.
That’s when the descending Gyarados swallowed her whole. Just like the illusioned Zorua had feigned doing before, only this time Pachi made it easy for him. Just as Daphne rose to her zenith and launched the Petal Dance forward.
Now the only ones to be targeted by the wide spread destruction were TK’s clone, Saria, Sasha and Gyara. In the second she was inside of Gyarados’s cavernous jaws, her portals were safe from being destroyed by outside forces. And before she could actually be chomped upon by the massive sea beast, Pachi warped away from the inside of the Gyarados’s mouth.
A portal appeared on the floor of the ruined stage directly below Daphne, shooting the Air Cutter barrage straight up at her. Pachi assumed that the Lilligant had no way of changing her direction midair. Even if she did, it didn’t matter much to Pachi. At least she wasn’t the one who had to deal with it.
The parts of Petal Dance she absorbed sprinkled over the stage in multiple portals. While the petals were a little slower than the fireworks thanks to losing some momentum during travel, they were also much more powerful. It almost made up for not having fireworks to launch at the Legends Crew this turn, but Pachi missed the interesting colors.
Salieri
The Battle Girl had no idea Robby was so…dense, in the physical sense, but she should have expected it. She rubbed her back and nodded. “Yeah,” she grunted. Her vision darted up to the air, to Pachi. “Wait a sec…”
Salieri wasn’t going to jump the gun and claim victory when she saw Pachi’s seemingly suicidal jump into the Gyarados’s mouth. She was about to, but before she could she could feel another portal form inside the beast. She warped away.
Air Slash dropped down, and Salieri was forced to roll backwards to avoid it. While on the ground, the petals fell slowly, and from her position it was much harder to dodge.
She quickly tied a simple knot with the meteor hammer around her ankle and began to do the kung fu equivalent of what resembled a breakdancer’s flare technique. It was a little slower thanks to the weight of her weapon, but it was her weapon that deflected away the leaves from reaching her.
Once the Petal Dance’s threat was over, Salieri stopped her maneuver and looked at her weapon. Shredded to bits. She wrinkled her nose and untied the knot. “Piece of s**t steel…”
The Battle Girl stood up and spun around. In all the portals that had just formed, Pachi hadn’t come out of any of them. Was she still hiding in the Ghost World? The implication of what Wayne had said earlier meant that she couldn’t leave the stage, but that didn’t mean-
A shiver ran down her spine.
Cold steel that felt like thorns pressed against her neck.
Pachi stood behind Salieri, covered in Gyarados saliva and holding the cutting edge of a serrated combat knife at the Battle Girl’s throat. With her other hand she held a portal. The murky blackness faced Sal’s closed mouth. She dared not to open it, not knowing what would come out of that portal at her face.
She had figured out by now that Sal possessed a sixth sense strong enough to detect the portals. A handy ability, but not one she was willing to let the Battle Girl take advantage of anymore.
Liuye just finished avoiding Petal Dance remnants again. He turned to make sure Salieri was alright and saw the current situation. The Pawniard froze up.
“Nobody move,” Pachi commanded, forcibly straightening Sal’s posture from behind. Her tiny grin was masked by her bandanna. The Native Unovan’s eyes scanned around. “Return your pokemon.”
The knife pressed ever so slightly into Sal’s neck. A couple of drops of blood trickled down her flesh, soaking into her already red shirt. The Battle Girl suppressed the urge to gulp.
Pachi wasn’t going to say “Or else.” The implication would be enough.

Takamaru, The real Takamaru, stopped his sprint towards the cannons, standing frozen. the direction he was facing gave him a clear view of Salieri off towards his left about 20 or so feet away. Wide eyes filled with with a mixture of fear, anger and hope. Hope that Sal wouldn't be taken away from them by a simple twitch of Pachi wrist.
The Clone Tk knew what he would be wanted to do and had Saria land next to the Real Tk who returned both the Metalic bird was well as Iron Hide. Both Tk's stood motionless, shoulder to shoulder, both sets of eyes glaring dagger's at Pachi.
Some where deep inside Tk he felt a sick urge to chuckle. for second time today he stood remembering how just the day before He and Sal played a round of 3 on 3 football. Now she stood in the same spot she was yesterday when her team scored the final game winning touch down, only now she stood with a blade to her throat. the Irony of the situation was sickening.

She'd saved his life, and it was almost instant that she was put in that situation. The Lillipup girl wasn't close enough, and other than Sally, she was probably the only real fighter there. Well, he could have been, if he'd been in shape of somethin'. He'd learned enough about balance 'n all that, among other things, to find a flow. But again, Robby Tobb wasn't in shape enough to react in the most magnificent way to pull the knife at the speed he ate.
Instead, a pokeball went up, returning Roast, who had used water pulse to hit some of the petals from above, have them hit the ground and become subject to friction, if they weren't stopped by the initial shot.
The obese lad turned his attention to Pachi in that moment. Everyone else had a neat trick. Clones, or crystals, or that sharing thing. The Ghost Lady could make portals. A familiar sensation danced in the back of the lad's head. The knife, he couldn't reach it... But he wanted it, wanted it pulled away. He'd done somethin' like that before. In that contest with Lawrence.
Concentration of the mind, intensity of it lost behind the already intense glare on the woman, so close, in arm's reach. That knife's blade, if the lad's aura ability had anything to say about it, would be pulled away, away from her throat. Maybe not out of the lady's hand, but then, maybe his will was that strong? No matter the case, his focus demanded it move. Away from his student. Towards himself. And if his luck was bad enough that it fly at him?
His hands were ready to catch it. Even if they didn't seem that way.

Kijin
After a few minutes of sleeping in Kijin finally decide to get up out of the bed he rented in the Pokémon Center. He slowly rose up and headed for the bathroom greeting the Absol that sat at the edge of the bed with a soft pet. As he took his shower he regretted staying in the city longer then he needed too it always put him on edge staying in a city this large it always made him feel so small and insignificant compared to when he is out on the road.
Once he finished his long shower he collected his things put Absol back into the pokéball and headed downstairs to the first floor of the Pokémon center, as he checked out with nurse Joy he overhead some people talking about some banquet and some trainers that caused some trouble. It seemed interesting but Kijin wasn’t too interested in hearing about something like that so he left the Pokémon center and headed straight for Route four.
A few hours had passed and Kijin finally arrives at Route four to his surprise he sees nothing but desert in front of him he looked around seeing half built buildings and sand built up everywhere, ”Wow.” Was all he said as he looked out into the horizon seeing nothing but sand and construction, he soon shook himself out of his awestruck and started his long trudge through the desert. As he works his way through the sand he occasionally would get caught in deep pockets of sand causing him to suddenly sink and then climb back out he would curse each time he found himself shin deep in sand. “This is getting me no where I need to get through this place or I might have to camp out here.” He moves onto normal levels of sand and starts to think of how to get through this place at a better pace when he realizes that Steelix would have no problem getting through the place.
“Alright Steelix time for you to come out.” he shouts as he throws the pokéball into the air releasing the large metal snake. Kijin soon climbs onto the pokemon’s back getting into his usual travel spot.”Alright Steelix go forward until you find a large highway then stop.” He calls out the pokemon responds with a roar and moves through the sand like it was nothing. He watched as the scenery moved by spotting a few people working and walking by he even saw part of a Sandcastle in the distance though he considered that an illusion due to the size. As they soon arrive at the large highway overpass Steelix stops moving and Kijin jumps off its back. “Thanks Steelix but it’s time for you to go back in and I’ll let you out again later.” he says to the pokemon with a smile as he recalls him back into the ball.
As he makes the final leg out of Route four and into the between station he takes the moment to sit down and dump out the sand that he had accumulated in his shoes, hair shirt, and pants though keeping his boxers on as he dumped the sand out. He got a few looks from the people moving between the two routes for that little incident but he didn’t care once he finally got into Nimbasa City. It was almost as bright as Goldenrod City but with more neon lights but still overall a very busy city, “Oh wow…this place is a whole other beast and…is that an amusement park? This town has its own amusement park?” he was surprised by this but with the growling in his stomach he knew he had to eat first before anything else so he made a direct line for the pokemon center and while he was there rented a room from them as well.

Henrietta
"Thanks," Henrietta told N. Then she saw it, a flutter of green outside of the crystals. The first leaf carved through, and Henrietta made to trip N, to push him to the floor.
"Get down!" she shouted. Because when those leaves were done passing Henrietta would look like she lost a fight with a blender, and she couldn't let N suffer that fate.
Frate's big move had failed, and now Salieri was captured. Turning he watched the scene play out. There must be some strategy.
Wayne
We aren't just some kids anymore. Daphne fell with a cry, Wayne grit his teeth.
Robby pulled the knife, his powerful pull would no doubt pull it away from Salieri. Or at least enough away.
Wayne launched himself forwards. Previously he'd avoided the attacks barely, it was hard but he'd done it
And now he charged straight in, within the open window of two seconds. The distance disappeared.
Pachi's face would be full of Wayne, she shouldn't be able to see the release of Duosion who smashed the back of the portal in Salieri's face instantly with a psyshock.
Wayne's fist went straight for Pachi's face, and even if she stopped it - even if she could? Salieri was free now.
Safe and with no distance between themselves. She should get the hint.
Take this b***h down.
"We're the Legend's Crew!"

Jonah Strange Jonah had walked away before Viper took the shot, more than a little angry about the whole predicament. He hadn't expected to run into problems in Unova, but then again he never expected to be able to lift things with his mind either. Jonah let out a sigh of frustration and decided to go to the Pokemon Center to wait the crisis out.

Big Stadium: Ruined Stage
N
As the petals started to fall and slice casually through the crystal dome, N thought back on the injuries he’d suffered that day. Being knocked out, a few tough punches, some splash back on some attacks. He had only seen bits and pieces of Henrietta’s battles, but she was far worse off. And yet she was still acting as his shield.
“What are you doing?! ZERO!”
The silhouette of his Zoroark shimmered outside the crystals. She leapt over the dome and launched a Flamethrower. For the first time this battle, it wasn’t redirected, but then again Pachi was busy with other things.
The fire stream burned the leaves, turning them into sparkling ashes that dropped around them. N got up and grabbed Henrietta’s shoulders, making her face him.
“Why do you keep trying to be my shield?” he yelled at her. “You don’t have to do this to yourself, not if we fight together! I'm here to help you, remember?”
Salieri and Pachi
The Battle Girl’s eyes were shaking. She cut through my toughened skin like it was nothing…but still restrained herself to only draw a little blood. It wasn’t the first time she had witnessed Pachi’s immense physical strength. She had seen the Native Unovan woman crush a soldier’s head, helmet and all, with just one palm like it was a paper ball.
It was a feat Salieri wasn’t sure she could do herself. And to be in the clutches of somebody with that sort of effortless power made her knees feel like jelly.
Pachii’s grip on the knife was relaxed. Her eyes met Liuye Dao’s. The Pawniard tilted his head as she did, rendering almost no emotion on his face. But she was seasoned in the art of vendettas, and saw past that. Beneath her bandanna was a frown.
He knows I’m bluffing.
“Who gets hurt here…is up to you.” She shifted the knife slightly, not to cut deeper but just as a reminder that it was still in her hand. “Don’t choose pain. Back off.“
The knife flew out of Pachi’s hand and was caught by Robby. She looked at her empty hand and furrowed her brow. A brief and unfamiliar feeling of surprise caught her off guard. “Huh.”
That’s when Wayne and Liuye Dao bolted at her.
As soon as the knife was away, Sal tried to spin away so she could try a takedown from behind. But Pachi made another portal at her side, reached in to pull out another, identical knife, and closed the portal. As simple as reaching into her pocket. She rose it back up to Sal’s neck, stopping the Battle Girl’s side step and forcing her back into her dangerous position.
Even with Wayne blocking most of her field of vision, she knew what that unmistakable red flash behind him meant. Another pokemon, probably one of his. And the Pawniard right behind him was exerting a massive killing intent. The other fighters wanted to hurt her, but she could feel that this pokemon now wanted her dead.
She couldn’t actually harm her hostage. Not on live TV. And especially not this particular hostage. But she couldn’t allow them to call her bluff either.
Wayne uttered his battlecry, and Pachi remained unmoving when the punch came in. “I don’t know what that is,” she answered flatly. “Igasho.”
A large portal opened up right above Liuye Dao. From it came a man sized hand made of blue clay, that made a creaking sound like old clock gears as it shot downwards.
Liuye Dao didn’t have the time to move out of the way as the other hand squashed him into the ground. The massive palm stayed flat on the ground, more than enveloping his body underneath.
A sickening CRRRRUNCH rang through the stadium. Slowly, blood began to seep out in a puddle from underneath the giant hand’s fingers.
The sound of steel breaking caused Salieri to stand up straight. She couldn’t hear the familiar clang of her Pawniard’s metallic footsteps anymore, even though they were just there. What she did hear was that horrible screeching echo, and she still heard it when it was gone.
Her face froze in a strange expression that was a mixture of confusion and disbelief. A lump formed in her throat. “Liuye?”
Another giant blue clay hand came out of another portal, this one forming on the floor in front of Pachi. Not sure of what pokemon Wayne had released, the hand was supposed to be an all purpose barrier. It caught the Psyshock attack and crushed it much like Pachi had done with that soldier’s head.
If Wayne kept running forward, however, his body would go right through the giant blue hand coming from the floor like it wasn’t even there, as it allowed him to phase through. And his punch would slam into Pachi’s cheek.
But she didn’t budge. It didn’t have nearly the impact that the green haired trainer’s sucker punch had. And considering how she had nearly forgotten about it already, this punch was negligible. Dodging took more effort, and she hoped this would show him just why this wasn’t worth his time.
“He chose pain,” Pachi told Wayne. His fist still pressed against her cheek. “You can still back off.”
A portal formed on her cheek where the punch connected, and slowly the business end of a shotgun poked outwards, pushing away Wayne’s fist as it emerged.
The fireworks went off again, and were sucked up into the portals above the cannons once more. Whether or not they were used as artillery was up to her opponents.
Despite that chaos still blaring around her, Salieri was frozen in time. Everything that had gone on around her had fallen on dead senses, because she was trapped in the moment of that sickening crunch.
“…Liuye?”

From everything that was happening over by Pachi, the thing that demanded Tk's attention was the sickening crunch from beneath the blue clay hand. his first though was 'what if that where lancer, Iron hide or Saria?'
Panic and anger fueled there movement as both he and his clone shot like arrow's towards the big blue clay hand, Not a moment later there where two Twin Tk's throwing all there weight into the giants hand. "Get. Off. Him!" the real Tk growled, his voice lined with a mixture of anger and worry.
Considering the hand had to stay corporeal to continue causing physical harm, it would be safe to assume that they wouldn't just phase through it.
However, at the exact moment of impact there wouldn't be only two Takamaru Takashi's, but a third as well. all putting all they had into getting the ugly blue hand off Sal's Partner.

Henrietta
"N," Henrietta said, "we're like this because we're fighting together. That attack came from a grass type." Lilligant - Daphne.
Crunch!
Henrietta turned, pulling away from N and her hand extended, pushing away the crystals that made up what was left of the barrier and there it was, the horrible scene. Henrietta's eyes widened. "No..." she whispered.
Wayne
Wayne backed off, seeing everything. After his fist collided with Pachi, it didn't seem like there was anything they could do. If they attacked together, if they attacked separately. Only in this moment could he really see the overwhelming odds.
And Daphne, in this small span of a second, could cover the distance. One little hand needed to touch Pachi, to grab her and she'd be unable to dodge. And then, one more step and-
Her free hand moved to the side, Giga Drain hitting and, like she was taught, exploding apart an approaching threat.
The Steelix crashed into the stands with a roar, and a large being kicked off the top off it before landing on the stage, Odin possibly in tow or following behind.
Telekinesis a moment later from the Duosion pulled her away from a sword slash, Duosion himself creating distance to avoid any attacks, pushing itself backwards.
The glass exploded from high above, and another person landed, arms around someone else. She rolled and returned to her feet releasing the girl she held.
Girfarig emerged at the same time, one head holding the collar of their fallen spinning ally, the other launching a beam that destroyed the entrance just as Viper arrived at it, closing off another entrance point to the stadium proper.
The Tall Man, Odin, Sintre, Nicole and Stacy all stood before the Legend's Crew.
"So," The Tall Man began, rifle resting against one shoulder as he looked at the kids before them, "we doing this?"
