IC - Seth: Palkia's eyes widened as Kyurem broke through the barrier, striking it dead on with the Endeavor. Palkia was sent flying backwards, crashing beside Seth. Seth simply stared at Kyurem and Zach, not even glancing back towards Palkia. "Let me show you what I'm made of..." Seth stated, as he raised his hand. Palkia rose to its feet, roaring in defiance at Kyurem. Palkia let loose a Fire Blast, aimed directly at the fused dragon. "I'm coming, buddy." The words echoed even louder, as the screaming tried to intensify in an attempt to drown out the sound of the voice. ~Det

IC - Seth: Palkia, seeing the Blizzard, used Earth Power, raising up the ground, forming a makeshift shield against the attack, while also raising the earth in the direction of Kyurem. Let me show you what I'm made of! Palkia roared. Seth raised an eyebrow. Something didn't seem right about this, nevertheless, his fun was just beginning. He had become more reckless since the battle began, paying little attention to the destruction he caused before. The voice within Seth's mind grew louder, slowly beginning to catch up to the volume of the screaming. "I'm coming, buddy." ~Det

IC - Seth: Palkia stood it's ground, before it was launched into the air by its own, its claw glowing bright pink, preparing to unleash a Spacial Rend to counter the Fusion Bolt. "...What I'm made of now!" said the Hero of Time. Seth watched with a strange, maniacal glee, the screaming in his head becoming even louder, while the three words that echoed also became louder. "I'm coming, buddy." ~Det

IC - Seth: Palkia was struck by the Outrage, sending it crashing backwards, but quickly responded by unleashing Earth Power, causing the ground beneath Kyurem to rise up. Try to take a bite of me! Palkia responded, essentially issuing a challenge, almost mockingly. Seth stood still, arms crossed, as his aura became larger, and the darkness in his eyes slowly began to override the pink. The scream within his mind grew even louder and terrifying, as Seth's sinister grin grew larger and larger, easily reflected in Palkia seemingly showing no restraint as to where it attacked. Deep inside his mind, behind the screaming, three words echoed. "I'm coming buddy." ~Det

IC - Seth: Palkia was struck by the Blizzard, but barely recovered in time to unleash a massive Hydro Pump, in an attempt to try to slow down Kyurem's approach, and deal some damage as it could at the same time. "...What I'm made of!" Seth growled, his grin growing somewhat sinister, as the dark shape in his eyes grew larger. ~Det

IC - Seth: A slight grin came across the face of Seth, the result of his inner desire for a challenge, despite his appearance otherwise still representing his grieving for Evan, in particular the tears rolling down his face. Seth, having played his tune, lowered his flute, but still holding it firmly in his hands. Seth motioned to Palkia, the mighty dragon gaining a faint blue aura, as it nodded in agreement. "Try to drain my energy!" Palkia responded to Kyurem's challenge, charging forward in response to its challenger, preparing to unleash a Spacial Rend. ~Det

IC - Seth: Seth was speechless. He had just watched one of his only friends fade to sand before his eyes. A burning sensation tore through both his heart and his mind, his rage and sorrow filling him. "Evan..." Seth's eyes began to glow a bright pink, tears falling from them for the first time in quite a long time, as Palkia moved to his side. The Hero of Time's fists began to clench tighter and tighter, as he began to use his link with Evan to try to understand what had happened. "You... You did this to him..." A blue aura surrounded him, as he allowed his abilities over time to try to rejuvenate Palkia somewhat. Seth placed Evan's Poke balls upon his belt, keeping them close to him, as he and Palkia stared down Kyurem. ~~~~ Deep within Unova, the dark creature felt itself gaining a new strength, sensing the madness and despair. It felt itself draining from the madness of the world, and it felt this new power. Unable to comprehend this new power, it did the only thing it could: It let loose the most terrifying scream ever heard... ~~~~ A scream which echoed in the head of Seth, causing him to drop to his knees clutching his head. The scream tore at his mind, digging into his desires, and amplifying them... Particularly his desire for revenge. "Evan will be avenged," Seth stated coldly, his voice echoing with the sound of his voice from many different stages of his life. "An abomination such as that deserves not to be. And I will ensure that it will be stopped. At any cost." Seth drew his flute, and began playing a song upon it, it's melody affecting the Spatial Pokemon. Palkia spread its wings, roaring with defiance, and a newfound energy. A dark shape formed in his eyes, a dark energy trying to both draw from Seth, at the same time as empowering him. "Let me show you who I am, and what I have in store!" OOC: The song he's playing TOTALLY isn't Oath to Order >.> ~Det

IC - Seth: As Seth sat in the Abundant Shrine, he felt there was something wrong occurring. "Evan!" Seth exclaimed, rising to his feet. Volt rose as well, the Luxray sensing something wrong. "I suppose my meditation will have to wait, Seth muttered, his skin glowing blue. Recalling Volt, time appeared to slow down for him, an ability he was not experienced with using. 'I'm getting tired of running like this... It rarely ends up doing me any good...' Seth thought to himself. 'Don't worry Evan, I'm on my way!' With that, Seth began running at a speed which he had never run before, using his connection with Evan in an attempt to locate where his friend is. IC - Darkrai: As the Darkrai hovered in place over the ocean of Hoenn, there was clear unease amongst the Darkrai. In the end, it was Four who spoke up first. "I don't understand... Why do we have to wait around for so long?" "You heard Master's orders. We are to slow our pace, as it is part of the plan," Five sneered. If we proceed at too quick of a pace, our power will not be great enough to quickly take over the rest of the regions. The only reason we successfully conquered Hoenn and Sinnoh, was because they were already fairly scattered about as a result of chaos occurring within the region, and their attempts to regroup served only to distract them. Now, Johto and Kanto will be difficult to deal with as we are now, but give it just a little longer, and all will be perfect." "Riiight," growled Four, unleashing a Shadow Ball at the ground out of boredom. "Which is why we've done nothing for so long." "It is only a matter of time..." One quietly whispered. Everything that had been worked for would soon fall into place... ~Det

OOC: Forgive my extended absence. A lot has been going on recently, but now I'm on my way back. Let the games resume. IC - Seth: The wind blew through Seth's hair as he sat in the Abundant Shrine. His eyes closed, his mind was relaxing. He had slipped away from his group, knowing full well that he should stop doing so. Still... His mind was uneasy, a dark presence threatening his sanity. He came to this place sensing a peaceful aura, as well as the connection it had with Legendary Pokemon, a connection that Seth was fascinated with, no matter what kind. Growing up in Celestic Town, he had a natural fascination with myths and legends, and his bond with Dialga had furthered his fascination, as much as he hid it. "Even now, I can sense myself calming more, and clearing my mind..." Seth whispered to himself. Seth pulled out his flute and began to play a song upon it, as Volt lay before him. He felt at peace here, and when the time comes when he found peace of some sort, he would be off on his way. ~Det

IC - Seth: "Hm? Oh, forgive me, my mind is in... other places, at the moment," the Hero of Time replied to Evan. Seth stretched out his arms and rose to his feet. "Very well then, Tierra. Lead the way."~Det

IC - Seth: On the way, Seth had woken up, but, realizing he had a free ride, continued to pretend to sleep. Once they had split up, Seth had decided to make his escape, going off on his down and trying to relax. His mind wandered, but the most consistent thing on his mind was of somewhere he had never been. Somewhere close, but very familiar to him. He could hardly control when it ran through his mind, but when it did, it overrode every other thought in his head. Seth could feel the madness, but there was something off about it. Not only was it madness, it was calculated as well, planned, yet unpredictable, a terrifying combination. The thoughts would end with a scream, and then they would vanish from his mind.For the first time in many years, Seth felt true fear.~Det

IC - Daseos:"Very well, brother," Daseos stated. "Hoenn will fall soon, and we only get stronger. Have you any allies, now would be a time to warn them. Now, I must be off, I need my focus." With that, Daseos gave Ilios a farewell salute and faded away into the air.IC - Seth:Seth was struck by the snowballs, cringing at each one. "One of those had ice inside!" he exclaimed in shock. Manda was struck by a snowball, and the sudden strike caused her to lose her balance, falling backwards, and the fall causing a mound of snow to strike Seth in the back, knocking him face-first into the snow. Even still, Seth still found a way to fall asleep.~Det

IC – Daseos:The phantom Darkrai was silent for a moment before speaking. “Yes, you can trust me. I am willing to die if it means seeing Sombra fall. I have things I must do once he is defeated. I need to undo all of the darkness we’ve left behind.” Daseos was silent for a moment, reflecting upon his past. “There will definitely be casualties, are you prepared to risk your life to take him down?”IC – Seth:“Alright, that’s it,” Seth roared. With one swift move, he released his Milotic, grabbed the TM he had purchased and slapped it on her head. Manda seemed surprised and startled as she absorbed the information within the disc. The Milotic raised her head, staring at Seth, a sinister grin coming over his face as he pointed Manda to everybody taking part in the snowball war.“Blizzard.” With that, the Milotic released the storm.~Det

IC - Seth:Stretching his arms, Seth walked outside the center, hiding the TM beneath his coat. Stepping into the snow, he let out a second yawn. Somehow, something didn't feel right, he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Turning to Evan, he noticed the ball of snow in his hands, the sinister grin on his face, and the tiredness in his face. "No..."IC - Daseos:Daseos nodded. "Indeed you would be correct, Ilios." Daseos gestured around. "You see what is happening all around the world. Sombra is back, and he managed to take on a group of Legendary Pokemon not long ago by taking our power, and he isn't even fully free from his prison yet." Daseos's form flickered out of existence for a brief moment before returning. "It should be obvious: I can't do this on my own, and you're the only one who can match his power. Will you help me when he comes?"~Det

IC - Daseos:A second shadowy figure appeared beside Nine, as Daseos made his appearance. "Hello, Ilios. It's been far too long," Daseos almost stuttered as he spoke his brother's name, having not used it in years. The phantom Darkrai gazed around at what had transpired in Mossdeep. "Do you know why I've come to you?"IC - Seth:Growling and grumbling, Seth went to the shop, reaching into his funds, he purchased a TM, but kept it hidden from view of the others. A small smile came over his tired face, but that was soon overruled by a yawn, as he shook his head, trying to shake the feeling of tiredness.~Det

IC - Darkrai:Seeing their work in Mossdeep was finally complete, the Eight Darkrai gathered and set off south, heading directly for Sootopolis. The traitor within them looked back, before they closed their eyes, realizing there was one more they could recruit.IC - Seth:Seth, still have asleep reacted on instinct to the sudden touching of him, grasping his knife and sitting up, placing his knife against Evan's chest. "I haven't gotten any decent sleep, and when I do, the first thing I want to wake up is not you dragging me out of bed."~Det

IC - Seth:Seth had already dashed ahead of everybody, still half asleep. How he managed to be running back to the Pokemon Center with his eyes closed, and yet easily dodging every obstacle amazed Evan. Leaving a trail of dust, Seth burst into the Pokemon Center, running to his room, in one quick motion, grabbing his stuff and leaping back onto his bed, acting as if nothing had happened. Seth muttered something incomprehensible as he fell back asleep.~Det

IC - Seth:"...You woke me up from a very pleasant dream..." Seth growled, tiredness in his face. Even as he spoke, he drifted back to sleep, but his urge to strike Evan kept him awake. Seth looked around, realizing he was missing his coat and his glove. "Evan, bring my the rest of my stuff now. I'm freezing cold."~Det

IC - Seth:After having been shooed away, Seth quickly found himself a wall to lean against. While waiting for Evan, he pulled out his knife and began to roll it around his fingers. He tried to keep his distance from the others, never being one to try to start a conversation, since he realized that nobody really noticed him when he did. He was forgotten in Castelia, and nobody cared. He sat in the middle to the city, and played his flute as the city fell to pieces around him.Seth gripped his knife tightly with his gloved hand, the blade cutting into the fabric. They didn't want his help, so why should he stay? What kind of people would want an incomplete loser like him around? He felt a dark presence enter his mind, but quickly shoved it out, realizing that he could go down the same path as Damien did.Nonetheless, the Hero of Time continued to play with his knife, whistling a simple tune as he closed his eyes.~Det

IC - Seth:Seth paid no attention to the words of his companions and those of the Sages. Instead, he continued his mental "assault" on Evan. 'You know, these guys aren't all that impressive. Seriously, these guys are like a group of bungling morons. Kinda like Liberty and Rocket, but lead by a bunch of old coots who probably could droop dead at any moment.' Seth mentally sent to Evan. 'Honestly, the only reason I'm still with Liberty is because I got a prrrromotion! This war bores me, but the Darkrai thing got personal when Damien got involved and kidnapped Klim and Bria...'Just as Seth mentioned the Hero of Reverse, he could have sworn he saw and apparition of his friend in the room. Seth shook it off. 'I must be going insane...' he thought to himself.~Det

IC - Seth: Seth looked around at the Six Sages, his eyes scanning them up and down. The Hero of Time's air of confidence and defiance ran strong, but he had an odd respect for them. 'So, these are the old coots you work for now?' Seth asked Evan through their link, moving to stand directly behind his friend. 'Though you shouldn't exactly lie to your bosses. I didn't exactly fight, more so much as musically awaited your potential deaths.'~Det

OOC: Actually, on the Darkrai thing... They started in the west and moved towards the East. Sootopolis and Ever Grande are still safe, while Mossdeep is in the process of being corrupted/ruined.As for the state of the regions, basically everyone who got caught is trapped in a Dark Void, wild Pokemon are more ferocious as a result of the corruption by Darkrai, and it would basically be a black mist covering the regions.No IC now.~Det

IC - Seth:Panicking was the last thing that Gnip should have done, because in the chaos, Ghidorah's body was flailed about, hitting Gnip in the side of the head, and it was at that moment that the Deino chose to let go. The younger dragon hit the ground with a thud, landing hard in front of Seth. Seth grinned, recalling Deino. 'Everyone's flying eh?' Seth became grim for a second. 'Pidgeot...' he thought to himself.~Det

IC Seth - Route 16: Seth looked at Evan, shaking his head. At the same time, Ghidorah emerged from his Poke Ball, immediately stumbling around, a cold energy gathering in its mouth out of panic. Lashing out, before Seth could recall it, it quickly latched onto Gnip's dorsal fin, biting hard, and refusing to let go. "Ghidorah..." Seth began to call back the Deino, but stopped, a small smile appearing on his face, a genuine smile of amusement for the first time in a while.~Det

IC - Darkrai / Mossdeep City: The Darkrai attacked Mossdeep City as they had all of the others, spreading darkness and destruction over the island city. Two humans had stayed behind, but they were quickly disposed of, incapacitated with shadow attacks, while the Darkrai continued their rampage...Meanwhile, one specific Darkrai made her way into the Mossdeep Space Center, a sinister plot forming in her head. Finding what she was looking for, she let loose some of her essence into the satellite. "This will serve me well when the time is right..." Finding the controls, she launched it into space, before immediately destroying the room with a Shadow Ball, heading back to rejoin her kin...IC - Seth / Route 16: "An impressive battle, I must admit," Seth said, walking towards Evan and Orange. "My father being a former Champion, I've seen some very intriguing battles." Volt nodded in agreement, moving closer to Seth.~Det
