So. It's morning, in winter. It's a nice time, nice and cool. Well, cold, but whatever. This is a short part, because the majority of this EVENT OPENING will be in comments below this.

So yeah. Pokemon are wrecking shit, looking for you guys from other universes.

Miror B. was right, it turned out-- Demyx really did enjoy Nimbasa. It almost reminded him of the "better times", with all those lights and excitement... It was almost nostalgic.

He had taken up temporary residence in the Pokemon Center, and was ready for another day of lazing about in the streets with Arpeggio and his Tympole...

When this happened. Strange-looking Pokemon wandering around everywhere. Sure, they were a little bit threatening-looking... But the Pokemon he'd seen had been perfectly friendly, as well as seemingly sentient! So when one-- a Golett-- stepped forward, Demyx threw caution to the wind and kneeled before it, raising a hand in greeting.

"Hey there, little guy! G'morning!" he started cheerfully. But then the Golett raised its fist, its fingers glowing a bizarre bluish-white color. Demyx paled. Uh-oh. "Uh, hey, what're you doin'--"

And the fist promptly collided with his face. He recoiled with a yelp and scrambled to his feet, clutching his nose.

"Agh-- ugh-- wh-- What the crap, dude?!" he sputtered, backing away from the Pokemon as it prepared another attack. "Aah! G-get away--!!"

Suddenly, Tympole threw itself from his head and flopped onto the Golett's head. It stayed still for a few moments before it began to flail and shake violently, chirping out sharp notes and covering the Golett in a barrage of... bubbles.

Demyx couldn't help but stare at the scene speechlessly for a moment. Then, he grinned approvingly. "A tadpole after my own heart, huh. Keep it up, Gigs!"

He absentmindedly took a step back, and his ankle was met with... what felt like clay. Peering over his shoulder, he found another Golett-- eyes glowing with what he guessed was malice, and fist glowing with... what looked like lightning. Oh crap oh crap oh crap--

"... Aaaaaaaalright, time to go!!"

He bolted away just in time, electricity nipping at his heels, and headed for the first Golett, scooping up Gigs in one arm and making a break for it.

... For clay robots, he realized, those Golett were pretty dang fast.

"Oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap oh craaaaaaap!" he chanted as he ran aimlessly. Hey, in this kind of panic, you didn't look where you were going! You just focused on running. And Demyx was ready to run like hell.

Well, Demyx, were you looking for a saviour with a heartnose?

No?

Well, you get one anyway. Because I like you, okay? It's sudden Woobat time, suddenly appearing besides Demyx. Now, why is it there? Simple - Iris is there too, ready to fight the Pokemon, while dodging attacks... quite well, actually!
"You! Get your Pokemon to attack!" she suddenly shouted - her voice slightly panicked. Iris was stopped from her daily playing around by these things, after all, and she lacked a Water-Type to help her take down most of these.

Reluctantly, Demyx skidded to a stop. Why, he couldn't be exactly sure... Maybe it was the commanding tone in her voice; he'd been trained to pay attention to orders, after all. But when he turned to face her, he recognized her: that kid from the Xtransceiver...

"Attack?" he repeated slowly, shrugging. "Heh, sorry, I'm not really cut out for combat!" He had heard a little bit about battling during his recon of Nimbasa, but the idea of it didn't sit well with him. Sounded like it'd involve too much work, even if he wasn't the one fighting. He was more of a follower, not a leader.

Suddenly, he became aware of the Golett again, and began to back away, holding Gigs out in front of him like a shield. "'Sides, how's Gigs gonna even deal with these things? All she can do is blow bubbles at 'em!"

Gigs protested with a low chirrup, and he cringed. "Sorry, dude, but it's true!"

Gigs gave another cry-- er, more like a surprisingly loud bellow-- and attacked without commands: another Bubble attack, aimed for the approaching Golett. Demyx yelped, but continued to hold onto her.

Fighting off mini-robots with a handheld bubble gun, Demyx mused silently to himself. What in the worlds have I gotten myself into?

[withmyfluffbat.livejournal.com]

"Bubble is super-effective against ground! Because it's a water-type move! Don't you know anything?" Iris said, with a slight growl. Now, she understood Jade not knowing about battles - after all, she'd grown up on an island without Pokemon. (Which, by the way, Iris still finds sad.) But a fully grown man who didn't know the basics of type advantages? Gosh, how childish.

But, if he wanted to be this way... "Just do what I tell you to, and we won't die to this!" she shouted, as her Woobat did a few circles around her head - and shot off a Confusion at some Sigilyph, in a desperate attempt to stop them from approaching. It's not very effective, however... and Iris knew this, as she backed up a little. "You'll need to take down the Golett - I'll try and hold off the Sigilyph! And the Baltoy, too!"

Iris knew that this was hopeless, however. They were stronger then her - in power and just in numbers. But she couldn't show weakness. She was the strong one, in these kinds of situations. She just had to keep on her toes, and just had to continue battling, to protect these newcomers. Right?

Demyx seemed to pout a little at that. "Heeeey, I know... some things," he protested halfheartedly, quirking a slight grin. "And, y'know, water is super effective against everything-- if you use it just right!"

Demyx clearly didn't know exactly what Iris meant, but it didn't really matter. Gigs seemed to continue to do her own thing, squirming out of Demyx's hands and sending another barrage of bubbles at the Golett. Demyx moved back, trying to hide behind Iris despite his much taller height.

"Golett, right... That's those little robot-looking things, right?" Apparently, Gigs knew more about this than he did. He watched, and couldn't help but be impressed. Good for the Tympole... but that didn't mean he was about to get himself involved.

But he did pipe up after a moment, oh-so-helpfully: "Gigs, can't ya do anything else? Like a waterfall or somethin'? Bubbles are cool, but you can't do much with just bubbles!"

The Tympole hopped a few times, and, taking the hint, switched her strategy. She began to chirp loudly and rhythmically, sending sound waves over her attackers: Supersonic. Confused, the Golett began to turn on one another, instead smashing their attacks into their brethren rather than the Tympole. Demyx raised an eyebrow.

"What the crap...?" Well, hey! They could work with that!

[withmyfluffbat.livejournal.com]

Supersonic... yes, Tympole knew that. "If only I had a Ducklett... Woobat here isn't good against any of these Pokemon, you know."
But, wait, if they were attacking each other... "Alright! Woobat, use Gust - full power!" she shouted, as her Woobat nodded. Suddenly, the wind picked up - and then, Iris issued another command. "Use Odor Sleuth on the Golett - then ram into them!"

No, ramming wasn't an attack. Iris was just making stuff up - she was terrified, after all. Woobat, however, did fly up to the robots - and started to sniff them.
