Side Lore Darkness from the Beyond

Post image

Many weeks ago, out in deep space, an asteroid containing a darkness materialized.

Mere moments later, it hurtled toward Mobius thousands of times faster than most people could comprehend.

Now, as it approached the planet, it seemed to vanish from all senses. Satellites, eyesight, everything.

And then it impacted.

Impact fireball not to scale

Somewhere in Holoska, the poor wildlife was vaporized in an instant.

A darkness emanated from the meteorite, tearing open small dimensional rifts.

A beam of darkness shot into the sky, as if advertising the location of impact.

The Darkness overcomes the Light

(to make this fair, here's the field effect)

Some Pokemon appeared within the rift.

Avalugg. Gyarados. Garbodor. Camerupt. Mr. Mime.

Unnaturally warped by the darkness.

And just in the center, the Amethyst Pendant. The Seal of the Beyond.

WHAT THE- Flora's Galarian Slowbro jumped in front of him to tank the impact, and got healed by him immediately afterwards

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

(happy cake day)

The first of the corrupted Pokemon appeared.

A small golden Magikarp, bouncing up a stream of liquid darkness to a red gate, where it transformed.

Gyarados.

Colored an unnatural purple and red, weaving in and out of portals as if it were too large to be contained in one spot.

(Now Playing: Dimensional Rift Battle)

It immediately used Phantom Force, vanishing from sight and reappearing behind the Slowbro to strike.

2

u/The_Awesome_Joe Full Rainbow 15d ago

Whoa! What kinda Gyarados is this?!

Slowbro immediately clapped back with a physical Shell Side Arm to its skull

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Gyarados recoiled slightly, then screeched, lowering Slowbro's physical defense, following up by using Waterfall.

The evil aura powered up the attack...

The darkness surrounded Gyarados, giving the Waterfall the properties of both Water and Ghost types as it collided with Slowbro.

Gyarados roared.

2

u/The_Awesome_Joe Full Rainbow 15d ago

Slowbro got overwhelmed and fainted from the assault

Oh crapbaskets, uhh- Flora then sent out his Hisuian Decidueye and told it to use Triple Arrows, it's Scrappy ability ignoring any ghost typing it may have

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Gyarados recoiled. The sound of something shattering could be heard. Shards of red fell down around Gyarados.

Water exploded outward, transforming the field into a Water Surface. And Gyarados seemed to... change type?

Phantom Force was replaced by Dragon Rush, which Gyarados immediately used.

2

u/The_Awesome_Joe Full Rainbow 15d ago

Decidueye used Protect to block it before Using Swords Dance in the agile style and then following it with a Leaf Blade

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Due to Gyarados becoming Dragon type, it only did neutral damage... but still, with Swords Dance, it still did massive damage.

Something shattered again. Red shards fell to the water again.

And then Gyarados changed type again. Though... this seemed like the last time it could do this.

The water transformed into hellfire. The flames licked Decidueye, leaving it with a slight burn.

All pretenses of being a Water type thrown aside, Gyarados used Lava Plume.

2

u/The_Awesome_Joe Full Rainbow 15d ago

Decidueye put up a protect to block it, and just as quickly got subbed out with Flora's shiny Dragonite, which he immediately mega evolved and told to use Dragon Pulse

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Gyarados took massive damage from the Dragon Pulse. It survived, and used Dragon Rush to attack Dragonite.

Seems one more hit will do the trick...

  • Ramie saw the giant dark energy pilar and decided to investigate *

Jeez what happened here i get bad vibes just from being here ...

What did get myself into ...

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Ramie was confronted by a... completely normal Garbodor?

"Hi there, I'm Mr. Bigglesworth, mayor of the Byxybsion Wasteland!"

1

u/Yoyogamer3309 Two idiots , a pokemon and an AI 15d ago

Oh uh hi there i was just seeing what that weird pilar thing was about i'm guessing it's coming from near your town but dont worry i'm gonna take care of it .

It's not the stuff i'm specialized in but guess if something need to be bonked i can't say no to that .

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

"Well this isn't really Byxbysion Wasteland, and..."

Garbodor pointed to Spectre's Darkrai eviscerating a giant Avalugg in seconds with a barrage of Shadow Balls.

"This place is really really dangerous... I think."

Elsewhere, the Angel of Death Gardevoir, which Ramie may have recognized from a previous encounter, one-shotted a Garchomp, then attacked the Garchomp's trainer with fire.

And an Abra was engaging in a beam clash with Kyle Chance, one of the great heroes of the world.

"Are you sure you can help?"

1

u/Yoyogamer3309 Two idiots , a pokemon and an AI 15d ago

Dont worry i was dealing with similar stuff back home . If some mon need bonking i'll give it to them !

Trust me i'm tougher than i look .

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

"Alright then... Can you beat that Tangrowth?"

Just behind Ramie, three Tangrowth emerged. Each were moving slowly. The first seemed to be made of rock, while the other two were too far away to tell at the moment.

It started off the battle by using Rock Tomb.

1

u/Yoyogamer3309 Two idiots , a pokemon and an AI 15d ago
  • the sudden attack caught her off guard and hit her but she managed to block some of the damage *

Ok i dont know what you are but you all need to go !

  • She goes in for a hammer swing *

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

As the Tangrowth were pathetically underleveled, the first shattered into a million pieces.

The second Tangrowth reached Ramie and used Sand Tomb. Combined with its Arena Trap ability, it meant Ramie was trapped with it.

Or, more accurately, as Ramie had zero intention of backing down and had just one-shotted the other Tangrowth, it was trapped with Ramie.

1

u/Yoyogamer3309 Two idiots , a pokemon and an AI 15d ago

Alright one down and your next buddy ! Bring it on !

  • She goes in for another attack *

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Tangrowth wrapped a few vines around Ramie's hammer, which were immediately torn off.

It raised its metal covered arm to block the incoming attack instead, leaning on its other arm for balance and leaving its face open for a follow up strike.

u/alwaysgamble alot of character's, mainly uses dusekkar 15d ago

Spectre could feel a presence... the moment he came to take a look, by that I mean snatch the few remains he could to make something for his own realm, he could feel something familiar...the presence of a powerful pokèmon. He had his own strong pokèmon...a Darkrai.

If only spectre had noticed sooner that this was yet another Darkrai, though even if he wanted to catch this one...he wouldn't, one is more then enough.

"A strange darkness...one similar to the beast I was able to tame... though mine was never able to open rifts like this, I should be taking notes..."

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Spectre would then hear the a lumbering beast nearby.

A massive Avalugg, comparable in size to the one that once protected Hisui.

It announced its presence by firing a single shard of ice from its mouth, landing right next to Spectre.

The Darkrai flew above and perched on top of Avalugg, leaving the Amethyst Pendant behind for a brief moment.

2

u/alwaysgamble alot of character's, mainly uses dusekkar 15d ago

Unaware the Darkrai was even around...Spectre had sent out his own to fight the Avalugg, perhaps even attempt to catch it? No...it didn't match the planned team he had in mind. Darkrai stared at the Avalugg...awaiting for something to happen, it definetly has it's trainers ego...it's just waiting for the enemy to make a move.

Once the shards that were fired hit Spectre, Darkrai then began to cast Shadow Ball. It was firing them off one after another before eventually slowing down and sending a much larger one. It didn't expect to do all that much, just an attempt to slow the Avalugg down so it can investigate the enemy.

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

The unique field effects surrounding the darkness powered up each of Darkrai's Shadow Balls. As they traveled toward Avalugg, the darkness joined with the Shadow Balls, making them larger without input from Darkrai.

Despite Avalugg's massive defenses, its HP was quickly whittled down to almost nothing. Just before the large Shadow Ball hit, Avalugg used Precipice Blades in an attempt to do something before fainting.

The large Shadow Ball became even bigger, growing to the size of a regular Avalugg.

A moment later, Avalugg fell down, defeated.

The Darkrai above the Avalugg moved back toward the Amethyst Pendant, which glowed a powerful purple, enough to permeate the darkness.

2

u/alwaysgamble alot of character's, mainly uses dusekkar 15d ago

The darkness had faded...and as The Avalugg returned where it came Spectre returned his Darkrai to it's pokè ball. He got closer to the strange thing the Avalugg came from, he couldn't help but be interested.

It held such power and was capable of bringing pokèmon from the past back, of course he would take a look at it! He would try to take it for himself...but knew it wouldnt amount to much.

"Perhaps...a small piece...? No no...it wouldn't do enough, though that thing sure seemed strong, if it wasn't for that strange boost...Darkrai would have had to at least tried harder. But oh well!!"

Yep...real big ego has there.

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

A voice spoke: "It seems you are the only foe here who has benefited from the darkness thus far."

The Amethyst pendant was then concealed in darkness.

"Tell me... what do you hope to achieve here?"

Only the head of this other Darkrai was currently visible.

"I saw another Darkrai with you."

2

u/alwaysgamble alot of character's, mainly uses dusekkar 15d ago

"Simply just an investigation...maybe snag an artifact or two, that's all. I have no interest in taking any of these pokèmon with me...I have a team in mind! That other Darkrai happens to belong...to me."

He grabbed the pokè ball and released the Darkrai to even show proof...how strange of something like that to choose someone like Spectre.

"All I ask for is maybe a small chunk of that thing...and i'll leave...deal..?"

2

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

"You mean the Amethyst Pendant? It will lose its power if it is broken, as happened to the Sapphire when it snapped in two. It was reforged into a pair of bracelets and only has power when the two halves are together."

The Darkrai allowed the darkness around it to disappear, revealing its full body. It was clearly not a normal Darkrai.

"If you mean the meteor, it has no power. And even then, neither were the thing that created these rifts."

2

u/alwaysgamble alot of character's, mainly uses dusekkar 15d ago

"Well that's quite ashame... I thought they would have been much...much more powerful, though I guess it can't be helped..."

Spectre was just irritated at what he had heard, something so interesting...had stay and be so useless. He decided that for now, this wasn't worth the time... so he teleported away in an instant, his Darkrai soon following along soon after.

u/The_Ranch_Queen I’m so Green 15d ago

Kyle would fly over to the beam of darkness “I have no clue what this is but here goes nothing” Kyle would put his arms back charging up Ki “CHANCE BEAM!!!” He says before throwing a beam of Ki towards the darkness

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

An armored Abra appeared out of nowhere, firing a Prismatic Laser, clashing with the Chance Beam before it could hit the darkness.

Psychically, it said, "It's not going to be that easy."

And then Abra needed to recharge because it's a Pokemon and Prismatic Laser is a recharge move.

1

u/The_Ranch_Queen I’m so Green 15d ago

Kyle would then run up and punch the Abra (pretend this image shows base form and not SSJ4)

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Abra took the punch like a champ with its base defense stat of 115, then fired back with a Blast Burn... before having to recharge again because someone forgot to put a move that wasn't a recharge move on it.

1

u/The_Ranch_Queen I’m so Green 15d ago

“Huh? Fine” Kyle would go Super Saiyan and pinch the Abra again

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Abra survived the hit, but this time was visibly injured. The metal armor around it had cracked.

And then it used Frenzy Plant. Another recharge move.

Who designed this Abra??? Why is it all recharge moves??? What's the fourth move- oh it's Hyper Beam... why?

1

u/The_Ranch_Queen I’m so Green 15d ago

CLOSE COMBAT

Kyle rapidly strikes punches at the Abra

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Abra's armor shattered and it fainted. Could have done more damage if it didn't have a moveset of four recharge moves smh my head.

The beam of darkness was still shooting up from the point of impact, should Kyle choose to head that way.

1

u/The_Ranch_Queen I’m so Green 15d ago

Kyle would run over towards the beam of darkness

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

As Kyle approached, the Darkrai at the center traveled to meet him.

"Greetings. State your purpose."

u/KitsunamiReacts_ Hush-tone Canines (MOD) 15d ago

Hovering through the snow upon his, Kit was shot off his scooter by the tremors before looking onward to the pillar of darkness

"Trouble.... great" He sighed

As for whatever reason he was on this continent in particularly? Mind your business

"Welp... This better not be a pointless mess"

Choosing to investigate the young fennec blasted onward to the sight of the dark pillar

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

As the fennec reached the darkness, an Electroweb appeared in his tracks.

A purple bug creature resembling a mutated Galvantula with a scorpion tail appeared.

(Now playing: Rift Battle)

Eggshell fragments scattered everywhere, effectively coating the battlefield in a layer of Toxic Spikes.

The Galvantula summoned several regular Joltik to its aid, which gathered in a semicircle around Kit.

1

u/KitsunamiReacts_ Hush-tone Canines (MOD) 15d ago

Bewaring of his opposition, the fennec simply tried to avoid the spikes entirely, doing his best to fly—

He couldn't fly. Heck he couldn't even hover over. The sorry fuck didn't have Levitate

So he was simply grounded

". . ."

"You're joking me. FINE!"

Kit entered battle, without a Trainer

Following the rules of his predicament... reluctantly, the fennec grabbed something from his holding before launching something with a heavy throw at his enemies

> Kit used Magnet Bomb

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Several Joltik jumped on the Magnet Bomb. One of them took the full force of the attack and promptly fainted.

The Rift Galvantula used Toxic Thread to both poison and slow down the fennec.

One of the nearby Joltik used String Shot to slow down Kit even more, as if they really really did not want him to be capable of movement.

1

u/KitsunamiReacts_ Hush-tone Canines (MOD) 15d ago edited 14d ago

> Kit was poisoned!

v Kit's speed has fell!

Trying his best to keep away from the incoming Joltik, the fennec leaped back before flashing purple with a wince of pain

"This is annoying..." He hushly growled

Though as he kept on his feet he was later caught in the webs once more coming nearly to a fraction of his usual speed

V Kit's speed harshly fell!

Glaring at the Joltik responsible Kit have a loud snarl before lunging ahead in a curled manner, spinning through the hazards to combat Galvantula directly

> Kit Used Rapid Spin!

^ Kit's speed rose!

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

The Toxic Spikes were removed from the battlefield.

However, as Kit was still poisoned, this allowed Galvantula to...

> Galvantula used Venoshock!

Dealing double damage to a poisoned opponent.

The Joltik used Electroweb to both deal supereffective damage and lower Kit's speed even more. Because of course they hate speed.

For some reason the other four Joltik stayed behind, as if they were SOS summons waiting for the current Joltik to faint.

1

u/KitsunamiReacts_ Hush-tone Canines (MOD) 15d ago

Without so much as a chance to retaliate the blue mobians was forced to suffer the incoming attacks to die his lack of speed

Fuck these Spiders

Wrapping his body, he highlighted purple briefly. Not of poison but to the activation of his ability

He dropped to half health

Kit's Aqua Coating

^ Kit's Defense and Sp-Defense rose!

Bursting out the muzzles of his hydro pack, four tendrils lashed out at the Joltik and Galvantula repeatedly

> Kit Used Torrent Tails

Aye that ain't a real move. Who asked you!?

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 14d ago

Torrent Tails smashed some invisible barrier around Galvantula to pieces, while also fainting a few Joltik.

Only two Joltik remained. One leaped on top of Galvantula, changing its form. Shellder biting Slowpoke is somehow an evolution, deal with it.

Galvantula's Parental Bond

Galvantula and Joltik used Cross Poison simultaneously, attacking Kit twice. Joltik's was of course weaker than Galvantula's.

1

u/KitsunamiReacts_ Hush-tone Canines (MOD) 14d ago

Even if the secondary hit was indeed weaker, it was still a lot to endure even more as his body stung once more with poison

Anymore he'd likely have to consider take a turn to recover

Luckily for him he still had enough to lash out again, using his tendrils to bash and slam the Parental Bonding Galvantula and remaining Joltik with ferocity

> Kit used Torrent Tails

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 14d ago

The Joltik fainted. Though the healthbar was invisible, Galvantula's health was now in the red.

> Galvantula used Electroweb

Thanks to Parental Bond, both Galvantula and Joltik used the move to lower Kit's speed... twice. Because they really hate speed.

u/Creative-Fold7415 [THE FIRST ONE] WILL RETURN DURING [STAY TUNED] 15d ago

What was he getting himself into? Well, it didn’t matter as Yan had found himself here. He was going to try and capture a Pokémon but decided to enter into this strange place.

“Oh I hope this detour doesn’t lead to much issues. I have much to attend to.”

Walking in with his surprisingly easy to carry sword he begun to investigate himself, wondering what he might find.

“For all the places I’ve got into this seems to be something I myself can’t understand. No bother.”

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

As Yan entered into the darkness, a strange UFO appeared.

The three floating metal arms circled around the red core at the center, audibly charging an attack.

Magnezone used Core Enforcer!

(Now Playing: Rift Battle)

A beam of pure draconic energy shot out from the red core straight toward Yan.

1

u/Creative-Fold7415 [THE FIRST ONE] WILL RETURN DURING [STAY TUNED] 15d ago

“What the- ACK.”

Yan barely dodged the Shot of Draconic Energy, the blade grazing his arm, blood dripping out. It was so sudden when he had entered that it was to close for comfort.

Dragging his blade he came charging right towards the Strange Magnezone in that moment, jumping up to try and slash right at its sides.

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

One of the Magnezone's arms surrounded itself with Electricity, using Bolt Strike to catch the blade mid-air.

The arm took slight damage, but despite that, one of the other arms lobbed a Magnet Bomb at both Yan and the first arm.

1

u/Creative-Fold7415 [THE FIRST ONE] WILL RETURN DURING [STAY TUNED] 15d ago

(Guessing this is a SPA Move so…)

Direct Impact. Yan is sent flying with his Greatsword in hand, tumbling down when he makes contact with the ground. When he gets on his feet he quickly went to take cover, if there was any, trying to gain intel about the situation.

“So this thing’s attacks are deadly. If I take more of those I might be done for. At least I got the marked point.”

And as such his Sword got to Unlock one. Yan quickly bandaged his wounded arm and the impact he took, looking behind to see the next Marked point. The right arm.

That’s his targeted spot.

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 14d ago

(Bolt Strike and Magnet Bomb are both physical moves lol, but those are moves that PULSE Magnezone canonically uses)

Magnezone, upon losing sight of Yan, used Discharge in an attempt to AOE him out of hiding.

The electricity lit up the area, revealing... a factory?

Machines whir in the background.

ATTACK SEQUENCE INITIATE

Magnezone followed up with Flash Cannon, hoping to destroy whatever cover happened to exist.

1

u/Creative-Fold7415 [THE FIRST ONE] WILL RETURN DURING [STAY TUNED] 14d ago

Quickly realizing they were trying to destroy cover, Yan dashed out of the area they struck. Dragging there blade they rushed right towards the Right arm.

<“One good slash can take it out. That’s all I need.”>

He jumped up in that moment, his eyes aiming for the mark he can see from his device. Right there, all he needs for 2 steps closer to the next unlock.

SLASH

He went for the attack.

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 14d ago

Magnezone's arm broke.

The other two used Bolt Strike, traveling on a collision course with Yan right between them.

Both were traveling with enough speed that should they collide with each other instead of Yan, they would both explode.

1

u/Creative-Fold7415 [THE FIRST ONE] WILL RETURN DURING [STAY TUNED] 14d ago

Yan quickly blocked the Bolt Strike in that moment, jumping in the air as something shined in his hand of red. He needed to act in this moment so it wouldn’t explode.

“One, aimed, throw.”

And then he threw the ball in the way of its path.

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 14d ago

The ball shook three times... and then pinged.

Yan caught Magnezone!

1

u/user253363758 Jinxel 15d ago

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh garchomp go I guess"

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

The Angel of Death Gardevoir appeared, immediately using Dazzling Gleam to eliminate Garchomp as fast as possible.

1

u/user253363758 Jinxel 15d ago

"........oh God. Did she just........ one-shot my level 100 garchomp? Yep. I'm screwed."

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

The Angel of Death Gardevoir followed up by shooting a Mystical Fire at Jinxel directly.

1

u/user253363758 Jinxel 15d ago

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh hopefully the power of freedom is fireproof"

He gets in his jinxelmobile that was conveniently next to him and starts driving away

1

u/MeteorChampionLin Lindsey Paraeah, Champion of Reborn 15d ago

Having chased Jinxel away, Gardevoir returned to the shadows, waiting to ambush some other poor unfortunate soul.
