GOD, I'm still sick but i also wanted to make this chapter soon and nice...I cant exactly judge well how that turned out so insead i'll apologyze if it feels like a dip in quality compared to the previous ones.

—START—

-3rd Person POV-

Awe.

Melia couldn't possibly call what she felt in this moment as anything other than awe.

The space where both Spacea and Tiempea resided had taken a sudden shadowy look, a chilly presence since Giratina made an appearance, their presence completely shifting the air around them.

The legendary dragon had placed itself between her and Spacea, giving her a glance, one full of meaning.

"I shall assist you in battle" Melia swore the beings voice resonated like an echo all around, yet not a sound was ever produced.

This didn't feel like the Giratina she and Star had encountered on multiple occasions with Geara, it felt raw and imponent not like the much more discrete feeling of dread she got from the other.

Giratina felt much more powerful.

-BOOM-

The pinkish barrier that surrounded the human Palkia broke under the strain of their transformation, a furious sentiment hidden behind her eyes as the Mew who entrapped them floated to her side, giggling.

From the corner of her eye she could see a flash of blue taking place not too far away from them, it would seem like Tiempea wasn't very fond of this stunt on Star's part.

Would she retreat on her deal with them for it?

There wasn't much time for that thought. "YOU ARROGANT CHILDREN!" Palkia's voice had been distorted by her transformation, holding much more power than before even to the point her own powers had to somewhat shield her from it.

Everything warping around her, she was distorting space by act of presence, radiating more power to contrast the pressure emanating from the other dragon.

(Pokemon of Space, right) This didn't leave the realm of power she expected, nor would deter her from taking part in this fight, these two needed to be stopped.

At first she had plans to simply hold Spacea with her light, to restrain the goddess until Star intervened, not sure how an encounter with her would end up.

But now, she had backup stronger than she could ask for, she would be the one to fight. "Come on out Patience!" The Archetype holder released her Snorlax.

The giant was dazed for a moment, shaking himself awake at the call for battle, then he stood up by himself, looking forward, aware that they could not just stay down lazily like they'd prefer when fighting.

Danger was looking right at him and his trainer after all.

"We cannot allow you to continue with this farce Spacea, you forced our hand!" Melia shouted at the now turned Pokemon.

"You don't get it do you" Spacea looked down at them, their eyes glowing as power accumulated in their mouth "very well, by order of her majesty, die here!"

Time for talks had ended. "Wrath, Dark Pulse" A clash of power occurred on the other side of the space, much like her, Star was also taking action the dark energy impeding what looked like a Calm Mind.

The moment Star called to action Giratina too took that as an indication to begin, charging themselves to blast Spacea with a Dragon Pulse.

-FYUMM-

The sound was like a laser passing directly by her ear, dragon energy radiated from the duo of Legendaries, releasing it in a clash of power that reminded her of the first time she saw Decimation.

Winds picked up as the beams struggled to advance, the two beings wouldn't let themselves lose to the other. "Take this a chance Patience, Body Slam" Melia made sure her order was just heard by the Snorlax.

The surprise factor was enough to get the jump on the goddess, Patience picked up speed by the edges of Spacea's vision and crashed into her with his full might.

The Palkia had seen them approach, but any shift in concentration would force a loss on the beam struggle, thus she used Protect, receiving both attacks simultaneously.

Receiving 460 kilograms of Pokemon on impact alongside a fully powered dragon move sent her flying backwards, albeit unharmed, the shield that covered them disappearing.

Giratina quickly melted unto the floor, disappearing into the shadow they casted on the world preparing their next attack, a trail of blacking purple moving towards their enemy.

"Follow up with a Blizzard" Cold concentrated in the mouth of the Pokemon, the distance put between the two leaving no leeway for a physical attack.

The Icy chunks and strong wind approached and collided with the flames emanating from the Dragons mouth, steam spreading everywhere as a result.

The Flamethrower ended up winning terrain over time, inching closer towards the Normal type.

"Disengage and block with Hammer Arm" While a good idea in concept the Snorlax was not fast enough to keep up with the flames, the heat slowly charring the stomach of Patience.

Still, the Pokemon was holding on, forcing the move called as to generate enough pressure to counteract the flames with a strong impact on the ground.

She could see the hurt on patience's expression, but they were holding on, his natural defenses being high enough to tank the move.

The attack came to a halt no much later, something hurt the Palkia enough to cut the fire stream coming from them and allowing for some breathing room.

It gave Melia a chance.

(Mega evolution won't help here, Patience loses too much speed with that) Her Mega Snorlax was more useful in a normal Pokemon battle, she needed something else. "Charge with Supercell Slam now" Electricity born from the Type Energy empowered Snorlax back into fighting shape.

They ran fast for one of their species, closing the gap created beforehand and jumping high into the air, sparks accumulating under Patience once the descent began.

In contrast madness reflected unto Palkia's eyes, their red intensifying while she exuded more power, draconic TE surrounding their whole body.

With both arms ready they lunged, forward, a scream of rage strengthening even further the attack.

Outrage hitting the electric slam and keeping the Snorlax up in the air by virtue of strength.

With a lot of effort Patience was then crushed against the ground, Spacea pummeling him with stronger and stronger hits accompanied by screams and growls.

Leaving no time for him to rest.

Melia didn't think twice before retrieving her Pokemon, using her powers to erect a barrier between the two and while Patience was not completely out of it, the pain he probably felt was enough of a reason for her to not take more chances.

It had reached the point where parts of his body had gone beat red and blood came out of his mouth.

"You did well Patience" Clipping the ball on her bell she chose her next partner. "Diligence, be prepared" The shiny Mimikyu appeared on the platform, only to be immediately approached by the full force of a rampaging dragon.

"Shadow sneak, get behind" In a similar fashion to the other ghost the little one was consumed by the shadows, avoiding narrowly any damage and popping back out as they passed, using their claws to do damage.

Still enraged Spacea twisted her giant body, arm fully extended and with her claws emanating ghost typed energy, ready to hit back without losing much momentum. "You can't escape with petty tricks"

"Take the hit and step up with a Sword Dance" The rotation allowed for a clean swipe at the little fairy, pieces of cloth flying through the air,

Yet no damage was done, instead Diligence boasted an increased strength, moving closer to the dragon.

With a jump they had breached Palkia's close quarters. "Retaliate with Play Rough now!" The first hit went to her head, stopping the flames accumulating in it from becoming the next attack while dealing heavy damage.

Then the second hit went for the left arm.

Then the torso.

Constant hits continued to damage and crack Spacea's scales, the confusion provided by the end of the rage allowing for more than two hits to succeed in breaching her defense up until she snapped out of it.

As the Space Dragon it wasn't much of a problem for her to escape once the confusion wore off and she had a moment of clarity, bending the fabric of reality as to make 'here' 'there' and vice versa.

It was an almost instant move, a form of teletransportation without being the actual move.

"Use Double Team and continue the offensive" Yet she was still somewhat disoriented and not too far, allowing for another attempt at closing in.

Ten move Mimikyus appeared when the Pokemon blurred itself, moving from side to side as they advanced and leaving a copy of themselves along their path.

Said copies began to move as well, Fairy energy accumulating in their tendrils similarly to the original.

Spacea snapped out of her confusion sooner than she would have liked, her thoughts still somewhat muddied yet with an awareness sufficient to notice the attack.

"Fool" The tone of her voice was soft while carrying an air of finality, some idea had gotten to her which she believed would end it all.

The floor cracked when Spacea lunged with all of her strength forward, white enveloping her figure with the exponential increase in speed.

"Carefully, dodge and counter" Melia was missing something, using a normal type attack would yield no result against a ghost type.

Giga Impact passed through Mimikyu, the Pokemon wasn't the objective so using a move they were immune against didn't matter.

Spacea was coming after Melia herself, approaching faster and faster.

Her glowing golden eyes widened rapidly, surprised at the change of tactic while scrambling to protect herself. (Oh no!)

With all of the power she had time to muster a barrier, stronger than most defensive moves she'd see, ready to intercept the stampede of a god.

Yet it never did reach her.

The salvation came in the form of darkness enveloping the Space Dragon in an all-out hit from Phantom Force from underneath, one that came from the front and under, using the momentum Palkia had built up against her.

Then she was constricted, grabbed by the body of the serpent like form of darkness, leaving Spacea on the claws of Giratina.

Said dragon was being ruthless, having waited for the moment they could sink their dagger like shadows unto the other Pokemon.

Weakened from the impact and the previous attacks Spacea was left with no strength to retaliate immediately.

"Argh, STOP!" Darkness gripped at Palkia as their pained cries spread, energy claws etching themselves unto her scales and flesh, Spacea's scream was laced on pain and power, the dimension shifting around her the more she struggled.

She would force herself out even if she was obligated to use more power than she had ever intended.

Melia's senses understood before her brain, the Archetype reacting to the sudden shift in the air. "Cover yourself with Protection!" something was coming and Diligence would be completely vulnerable to it had she not reacted in time.

Sparks of pink accumulated in the gem of her arm, sudden glows of light emerging from it that expanded.

And expanded.

…And expanded…

Until everything was consumed.

"Stick to Melia Giratina!" Her friend shouted from across the room, seeing the incoming surge of energy as something different from a move.

(Was she watching the whole time?) The blonde couldn't help but wonder, it wouldn't be out of place for Star to worry more about her than any pain of he own.

It looked like she wasn't exactly focusing on her battle, rather keeping an eye on her.

Melia would feel grateful and somewhat annoyed at the worry, but there was no time for that as she was consumed by whatever the Palkia had done, modifying the barrier previously created to encapsulate herself.

She would have extended it to Diligence, but there was no way it would reach in time.

Melia felt herself twisting, her body straining itself under some form of folding as the energy once emanating from Palkia returned in a loop.

In and out all around.

They were being moved through space, displaced to another location unknown to Melia, intending to separate her and Star.

What was a void of stars and nothingness soon coming to be a familiar sight for Melia, a place she remembers very well.

The cavern with a broken bridge that separates Shedian and route two.

Amethyst cave, the place where she met the two for the first time.

Behind her was the broken part. "Urgh" Her insides were twisted, a nausea lingering in her mind.

Unlike a normal teleportation this felt like she was ripped from wherever she was, forced out of the space she had been occupying.

And this was while she still held her shield around herself, had she not her situation would have been the same as Diligence's.

Who laid unconscious on the ground, the cloth going from ragged to completely destroyed by the move and only scraps remaining.

Even then the Mimikyu did their best to end up covered as to not kill Melia on accident if she saw them.

(Diligence?!) Panic crept in the moment she had visual on her Pokemon, his condition was bad, but she had no idea to which extent. "Serenity quickly Heal Pulse"

Her Meganium was ready the moment she felt her ball being unclipped, salvaging what she could of her comrade who survived despite the unwanted spatial attack having a disastrous effect on them.

Serenity wouldn't be able to bring them back to fight another round, but this would make sure they weren't at risk of permanent injury to Diligence's form.

In the little breathing room they had a beam came at them from afar to interrupt, Spacea would not allow them to rest any moment.

"Light Screen" They had been ready for it and managed to block the attack with that barrier.

Spacea was standing on the side with a still functioning bridge, the ladder of exit near them, their presence had changed significantly.

And it was only when Melia lifter her gaze from her Pokemon that she noted Spacea's form was different, before they were bipedal but now they were a quadruped while missing her arms, in fact, they now had a similar appearance to that of Arceus. "To think I'd have to use my Origin…the Interceptor was much more cunning than expected"

"Hm? What are you talking about?!" Why would she bring up Star now? She had been the one fighting with her the whole time.

"You didn't notice, you poor fool" A soft but painful laughter came from the transformed woman. "That cursed Mew poisoned and cursed me before the battle even begun, I've been holding those alignments up until now"

It explained why the dragon was seemingly taking damage out of nowhere and why they stopped their moves sometimes.

"But at last your luck has run dry as I have rid myself of them when I shifted" She found Melia's face of surprise delightful, thinking that she was now on top of the situation. "The only reason any of your attacks have worked this far is gone now"

Various emotions bubbled in her, indignation seemingly the most prominent. "Whatever you mean? Because I remember Diligence pummeling your face"

Spacea noticed how her words had affected Melia. "Can you call an opportunity even a child could take as your own skill when someone else practically gave it to you?" Maybe the key to finishing this revolt was defeat through words rather than battle. "As I've watched you all along your journey I cannot help but feel disappointed at your part in it all"

"Every important battle, problem or even in more minor things, isn't it always handled by the Interceptor? When have you contributed more than defeating a few grunts and letting her take all of the hardship?"

The distortion on her voice had vanished, the woman's tone softening while trying to sound pitiful at her enemy.

Melia remained unresponsive at her provocations, yet her gaze wasn't exactly finding Spacea's.

"Weren't you also trying to have her deal with me after striking that deal with my sister?" Those words surprised Melia, their plan was known before they even tried it. "Truly, your arrogance knows no bound, to think you would be capable of fooling me"

"Even in Blackthorn castle, I am sure they would have found a solution eventually without your help"

"Admit it, all you contribute is being a target for Star to protect…and when you try to help on your own accord…well, we all saw the result on Valor mount"

(…) No words came from the blonde girl. (How cruel, throwing my own words to me) These words hadn't come out of nowhere, Melia was sure that with all of the monitoring she and her sister did, they most likely had heard this before.

Melia had hoped that the words she exchanged with Venam that day, where she vented her insecurities and troubles to her would have stayed withing the two of them.

Kinda naïve considering the goddesses of space and time were always watching.

"Can't find anything to say girl? Maybe you should give up this fool's errand" She shook her head with confidence. "Maybe if your friend had followed your original idea I might have been open to test her and see if she could handle what's to come"

"I suppose you two weren't capable of it"

Finally the silence Melia held broke, unwilling to bend a knee to Spacea's gloating and provocations. "Well, should we test that theory?" There was anger in her voice, yet it was controlled. "I know we depend on Star quite a lot and I appreciate her help more than you can imagine, but I think I am capable enough to be taking you down here and now"

It was true that in some sense her friends and her depended on the Interceptor, they were always jumping head first into trouble for others, had done frankly stupid things that just…worked somehow.

Always so far ahead of them even when it appeared they had improved.

She locked her eyes with Spacea. "Don't mistake my trust in my friend for weakness, because I will beat you"

"You cannot defeat me Melia, my power go beyond your mortal capabilities" Spacea spoke with the certainty behind her all of the edge she'd removed from her voice returning with more strength, affirming that she would not be bested in any capacity. "And you don't even understand a fraction of your own"

Each word was meant to belittle her, to make her feel powerless and demotivated, and I another time, maybe it would have done something to demerit her drive.

But not this time.

"…I don't know…I am aware of a gods falling to a mortal before, so why shouldn't I be able to do the same" This was not the time to doubt but to take action for herself. (I can't stay behind, not now nor in the future so I will use each opportunity I have to close that gap between us) Her spirit wouldn't waver. "Let's do this Serenity!"

"Let us bring down this god!" the Meganium 'roared' alongside her trainer her determination lining up with hers.

"Allow yourself to die with your worthless ideas then!"

The ground cracked under her foot, the earth and cave shaking violently when the hooves of Spacea hit the ground hard.

Then the ceiling began to make noise, dust and small rocks falling from above, the Earthquake was about to bring the place down completely.

"Frenzy Plant, keep this place from falling apart" Melia barked her orders instantly, seeing the whole place beginning to come down. "Are you trying to kill everyone above?!"

Trainers, explorers, and other kinds of people frequented the Amethyst cave, either as a passage or to train, even if it was relatively late there was a good possibility of people still being up there.

It would also cause a major incident in the region if one of the mountains were to fall apart from nowhere.

Thus the choice to use the giant roots from the 'Strongest' grass move to secure the whole structure of the cave seemed like a much better idea than any attack.

So, plants grew under a beautiful green glow in the safeguard of those above.

"Their lives are small in the pursuit of the future" It was chilling to hear it from her, and at the same time wasn't unexpected to hear. "It's a worthwhile sacrifice to rid ourselves of a troublemaker such as you"

With a flick of her head she released a Fire Blast from her mouth, not entertaining any more conversation.

"Use the roots, block and immobilize her" several of the giant plants intercepted the huge fire star. "Go from all possible sides, stabbing and slamming"

Many more of said roots moved to the will of Meganium, from both above and the sides as ordered, they were slow but powerful.

The front coming vines began to shatter, draconic force of great might began to tear open the dimension under the command and movement of Spacea's back scales, their ring glowing pink.

Spacial Rend created many slashed that simply demolished the incoming roots, halting the move while from the back hooves of the dragon an impact was made, creating a Stone Edge strong enough to stop the one's coming from the side.

Had they come with blunt force, that might have worked.

Plants pierced through the rocks like a drill, spinning in themselves and twisting, bypassing the defense and entangling Palkia by its torso and squeezing.

Once in place the green dimmed until the roots looked like proper plants.

"Take some time to recover Serenity" The drawback of such a powerful move wouldn't be easily recovered from, but with Spacea bound, there was no better time to switch and give her grass type a breather.

She could still call her later on if needed.

With practiced movements Melia grabbed a different Pokeball as she clipped the other at the same time. "Hapi, Moonblast immediately"

The golden feathers of the just released shiny Togekiss buzzed with excitement the moment they were released, flying into the upper zone of the cave and charging themselves.

Fire met the ball of moonlight as it launched, another Fire Blast sent out by Spacea, much faster than the previous one, just as she saw the moment Hapi took into the sky.

The Fairy circled all around the cave, attacking from a range each time Melia called for it, fighting move, fairy moves, electric moves, all of it.

All which were difficult to stop for Palkia due to the limiting movement, of which she couldn't rid herself due to the constant onslaught.

Thus the stalemate warranted a change.

"Let's limit her movement with Thunder Wave but throw some Gilded Arrows around" that way they could guarantee either would hit the target.

Static arched around the Fae's wings.

Spacea looked on dread setting in. (I already shifted form to avoid status alignment if I'm paralyzed here…) In an attempt to escape she thrashed. (…It would actually give her a chance…)

Stopping the thunder wave would take priority, that or escaping.

The plants kept her from going out of the way however, limiting her movement to nothing more than a few shakes.

Burning the root down would take too much time.

Her powers over space were the only feasible escape right now.

It felt like a repeat of a few minutes ago, her gems glowing pink and illuminating most of the cavern, the aura surrounding her pulling power from herself and making her disappear.

"{You're not going anywhere}" An echo distracted Spacea from her escape, the feeling of something grabbing her legs more so than the voice.

Darkness broke through reality to reach the cave, tendrils of darkness latching and dragging the Space dragon into a great pond of black, two red dots staring from it.

Giratina had finally found them.

Having traveled through many of the different planes they could have been brough to until ultimately finding the two.

Electricity hit Palkia, spasms began spreading from head to hooves as some of her muscles didn't respond.

From the other side arrow like energy constructs etched themselves on her flesh, exploding on contact.

Hapi had finished and successfully reached her with both attacks.

From then on Spacea was bombarded by draconic and fae moves indistinctively, each and every one damaging her in some significant manner.

Escaping was a forgone idea, and defeat became inevitable.

Soon, the red chain had entrapped her completely.

Spacea had lost.

Tiempea had one of four legs on the ground, her body covered in wounds.

The light blue aura around herself diming after each passing moment, exhausted from the encounter with Star, the Sylveon standing in front of her being retrieved after fainting.

Even then said person was only looking worriedly at where Spacea and Melia were. (She should be able to handle her…but I'm kinda worried) Leaving her alone to fight Spacea rubbed her the wrong way, at least she would have liked to be there if anything happened.

She'd trust her friend to handle the mean pink lady, not like she could do anything, beside she had her own troubles.

A Hyperbeam approached her person, ready to reduce her to atoms.

Of course there was no chance of it reaching her, a pink barrier stood in its way, shielding her from any damage with Mew giggling as she appeared and disappeared from view, still watching.

(She's taunted her? Low blow Mew) That Pokemon was one she'd never understand. "Enough with this game Tiempea, you lost t-"

-BTZZZ-

Star took a step forward, a hand over Wrath's pokeball as she readied herself to begin the battle.

With Giratina helping Melia she was confident in taking Tiempea down and free themselves from their…watch.

Wrath was unconscious…no, it wasn't only him.

She looked around frantically at what looked like the result of battles, yet without remembering ever fighting one then her gaze went to her pokeballs, some indicating the contents were fainted.

(This is strange…when?) In front of her was a transformed Tiempea, completely free of damage as one would expect for someone who hadn't done so yet. (She's tired…?)

When had she lost them and why couldn't she remember?

The answer light up like a bulb in her head, of course, how could she not see it, this should have been the first thing to come to mind.

"Prepare Interceptor, for there is no future for you!" Shouted Tiempea, power flaring around herself…but not as strongly as it should have been.

"How many time have you said that already?" Her question sounded nonchalantly yet a layer of anger was hiding underneath. "Which attempt is this one? The second maybe? The third? Or are we at the fourth already?"

Any joyfulness she had when their battle began was gone, and if Star was right, then the Legend in front of her wasn't the only one who used her domain on her adversary.

If that was the case she was glad Spacea took Melia somewhere else entirely, It'd save her the trouble of worrying about any collateral damage.

"What are you saying?" Her voice was tired, raged breaths between each couple of words.

"I can tell more or less you know? That you have been rewinding time" It had been happening for a while, and it wasn't exactly subtle either, with Wrath, Glass, Sylph and Fluffy suddenly lost all of their strength out of nowhere and her mind didn't seem to know why.

When she thought the battle hadn't even begun.

It was safe to assume Tiempea had also attempted to recover through that while weakening her slowly.

Maybe Star had let it pass in the other attempts, but half of her team was down already, and was at risk.

She was confident in her partners, yet with each attempt done and forgotten her Pokemons would slowly become too exhausted to continue.

She still had her Reborn team sure, but she still wanted her Aevian team to handle this, the experience of a battle like this was invaluable.

"You can't seem to rewind everything though or is it on purpose… are you aiming only at yourself and me?" That would be the most logical thing, after all, there were damages all over the area, adding that with what she already knows and the disturbances she was able to notice.

Only her and Tiempea were affected by her manipulation and star couldn't tell if it was intentional or not.

(No, She's leaving my Pokemon out of it intentionally and targeting me to hinder the progression of the battle, Tiempea is aware of how she's doing it) This was becoming quite a tricky problem, as she was not losing due to a lack of strength on her Pokemon side. (I should try to knock her out fast and not let her do it again)

"How…you shouldn't be able to notice it" Interfering with Fate and messing with time weren't exactly hand and hand in this particular moment, and never in her observations had she noticed Star having time manipulation resistance.

"And I didn't, but this isn't my first dance with time, you know?" What worried Star was how it did affect her mind, normally she was protected by the…the amulet. (Huh, should have thought of that)

"With the Pokemon of time in front of me and my team debilitated by some unknown reason I didn't remember all I could do was speculate you might have reverse time for you and me" Star pulled out of her bag the blue amulet. "Thanks to this most likely right?"

It was made by the one she was fighting right now and most likely facilitated the influence of her powers over her.

"It saved my ass more than once…but I have a better way to keep myself safe these days so I hope you don't mind if I…" The trinket was crushed by her gauntlet, the gloves made of the Interceptor power were enough to shatter it.

Still, there was some gratitude in her eyes for that thing, her words hadn't been a lie when mentioning its usefulness. "Now…should we continue?"

If she was honest, there was no certainty that it was the amulet that let Tiempea control her time easily, it could simply be the full might of her domain.

But it was possible it did help her with that, and with Mew protecting her along eight more Pokemon on hand she didn't think the goddess would be willing to give up on any influence she could get over her.

And besides, her own Dialga might be able to fix the thing if she asked them too…and apologized for the decade of absence.

(Mew was really pissed at me for missing so many 'playtimes') with a swift movement of her hand Star retrieved another Pokeball from her belt, releasing Lull out unto the battle field.

The ghost became alert the moment they were released, looking back at her for any command. "Lull, Nasty Plot for me, Tiempea and I still have some words to exchange"

Tiempea didn't take her setting up like this well. "There is nothing for me to hear Interceptor, after you broke our agreement" Her posture became sharper, putting aside the apparent tiredness for another round against her.

"Agreement? What agreement?" Her mind could only draw blanks when thinking about it. (Is she trying to trick me?)

Her words only angered the woman. "DO NOT play fool, I had agreed to aid you in subduing both of us for the chance to see this world flourish yet you arrive her with the idea of killing us both through that wretched copy of 'her' " the back scale of the Time Pokemon shone in silver.

A beam shot out of it not long after. "If you cannot keep that accord, how could I trust you the world!"

The Flash Cannon was aimed at Lull, whose dark aura had considerably increased over the course of this little interaction. "Shadow Ball" Using both of his hands the Ghost created two spectral spheres, combining them, and launching them at the incoming attack. "Shadow Sneak behind"

The ghost move collided and began to gain terrain on the beam and forcing the opponent to stop and dodge, ducking her massive body and letting the attack pass by.

A quick shadow sneaked underneath slithering under the dragon to an advantageous position with haste.

"Bitter Malice now!" Lull jumped out of the shadow, tendrils of darkness rising alongside in a rotation. "And offer a Burning Jealousy combined with it"

His eyes glowed red, willing the flames envy along the shadows of resentment to move alarmingly fast, going from the Pokemon to their target in moments.

Dialga's back scales changed from silver to dark blue in response, changing from steel typing to dragon as they detached themselves like a bullet, and meeting the attack halfway.

While some tendrils and flames were stopped, most had broken through, latching unto, and burning or freezing Dialga's body and spirit, doing significant damages while causing pain.

This would only lead to her increasing the number of scales in exchange for power in them, while also forcing her tail to glow blue, and using that to defend herself.

"Change of plans, U-Turn into them while using Flamethrower, burn your way to them" It took a moment for Lull to stop her previous move, their maws lighting up slowly in fire.

And that gave Tiempea a second.

A good second she used to twist her head to look behind, a much more potent power accumulating and festering in her mouth.

Star had seen that move before, it was too characteristic.

Lull wasn't ready. "Protec-"

-ROAR-

It was an explosive sound, one that forced reality into a halt while simultaneously accelerating it.

Time was strained under it's might and all standing in the way of the blast were crushed.

Lull was included in that.

(Roar of Time…getting desperate are we?) Hisuian Zoroark was retrieved fast, the consequences of the time based move would be horrid for most Pokemon.

They had been missing half of an arm and torso, their face looking like a melted marshmallow.

It was a mistake on her part to forget the possibility of such a crucial move (I should have been more careful) That and she had been giving orders the whole time that her Zoroark just couldn't keep up well with all of them.

Luckily Lull is a ghost type that leans on spirit rather than a physical manifestation, so as long as they were given time, they would recover.

And while she could berate herself for that all she wanted and let the slow burning flames of anger take her, Tiempea was slowed down right now. "Honey" So her starter should be the one to take advantage of that.

The dragon staggered in their feet, her vision blurred by the fatigue she felt from modifying time, as far as from her true strength she was, rewinding felt dreadful.

Taking too much stamina, leaving her defenseless.

The rest of Star's team had made most of the job, Honey simply needed to finish it. "Power Up Punch, to the face, then Brick Break we want it to be an instant KO" In a display of speed superior to the others the Fire type blurred out of view.

Fist erupted in a golden light, reinforcing themselves as Honey pushed with reckless abandon towards Tiempea's face, reeling both fists back.

The first hit was completely free fracturing the side scales of Tiempea's face as well as fortifying the Infernape's muscles after impact.

The angle of the first hit was from the side while the second hit Tiempea from above, smashing the whole creature to the ground through the head.

No more thoughts present in the Dialga's head, consciousness vanishing as she glanced one last time at the interceptor.

Tiempea had lost.

—END—

-Mystic-
