OoC: This is one of the few threads where only mods can mod. In fact, only myself, PBK and Professor Gravon are permitted to mod. Please respect this guideline, and only rp, or watch how much you can mod while my cursor hovers over the "ban" button. j/k, but seriously, don't mod.

A single torchic lay fainted in the center of the route, it's face visibly charred.
<The...the darkness> it said, over and over, as though it's vocabulary has been rewritten.
Around it, the dust on the ground was swilled up by odd air currents. The volcano shook violently, a few rocks escaping it...
<The...burning...darkness> whispered the Torchic again.
Mt. Inferno gave another shudder, then fell silent. With each, deep rumbling, the terrified squawks of Spearow could be heard as they flew into the air, fleeing their home. Another shaking. The Torchic just lay there, shuddering.

Oink trotted up, Shibou asleep on her shoulder. She abruptly stopped when she reached the Torchic. "What happened?!" she cried, falling to her knees when she reached the small Pokemon. "Are you alright?"

The torchic opened it's eyes, a strange emptyness in them. <The darkness. The forever darkness is coming.> it said, it's voice ethereal. There was another shaking and the torchic turned into sand, fallin through oinks fingers. The air suddenly became hot, and there was an explosion from on top of the mountain.

In the Distance a figure came walking along,The blonde hair could be seen from ways away.Soon the figure was close enough to see through all the heat ways.It seemed to be a male wearing jeans and a black jacket.Thats odd? never heard of someone who's wearing that before! The figure continued getting ever closer to oink and the now dust pokemon.Soon the figure was but 10 meters away."Whats happening here?" The male asked,His voice had a strange-ness to it.But Nothing serious.

Almost as soon as the boy stepped within a hundred feet of the route, the volcano erupted. A band of lava began to drift lazily down it, and smoke billowed into the air.

Oink sneezed. She was allergic to Pokemon-dust.
As the volcano erupted, Shibou woke up with a yawn. <What's going on?>
Oink turned to the sleepy Pokemon and gave a quick summary. Then she looked at the lava. "We'd better get to safety," she muttered. "Hey! Boy in the distance! Want to come with us?" She turned towards him expectantly.

Screams could be faintly heard over the roar of the volcano, and soon they would see a young lavender haired girl running toward them, hauling butt. "Lava!!!!" she said as if they couldn't of guessed by the exploding mountain behind her.

A Numel slowly plodded by, and rather sarcastically muttered: <You don't say>. Suddenly, there was a stampede of fire pokemon, fighting to escape. Somewhere among the chaos, a crying could be heard. A baby ponyta had become caught under the rubble, and the lava was quickly approaching...

"Get to it!" A male voice snarled from basically nowhere.
A Rattata, Spheal, Gastly, and a Black Absol ran over to the trapped youngling, and began to knock the rubble off of the little fire-horse. After most of it was off, and they could get it out safely, a large amount of silk wrapped around the little horse, and the pokemon grabbed and pulled.
Banjin stepped out from behind a pile of stones, pulling on the string with his Caterpie.

Unfortunately, this ponyta was just one of many, all around them, the startled screams of other pokemon trapped under the rubble could be heard. There was another shudder and the ground swallowed up Matt and pulled him into an abyss...
<My friends!> cried the Ponyta, unable to save them from the approaching lava, which by now was destroying much of the area, ravaging the fertile soil.

"Crud..." Banjin hissed, seeing the lava and hearing the cries for help.
"Frost, you try to slow down the lava with your Water Gun, and use Powder Snow every now and then! The rest of us will try to save as many as we can!"
Frost rolled out to a good shooting range at the Lava, and began to spit water at the edges, hardening it.
Each of Banjin and his Pokemon picked a different place, and began to dig out the trapped Pokemon.

The second that the water hit the lava, there was a caterwauling from the mountain. For a second it seemed as though there was a cloaked figure atop the mountain. It sank into the crater, and then, all at once, the mountain seemed to be bleeding shadows.
<The...the darkness! It's coming!> came the nervouse yelp of the Ponyta. It hid behind Nova, shuddering. For a second, it seemed as though the volcano was erupting again, but instead it was a giant pokemon, with glimmering wings in the colours of the rainbow. It fled the inside of the volcano, still spewing out darkness...

Banjin felt a bit of fear stb into his heart, but quickly it turned into anger. He turned and yelled at the other Trainers.
"Hey, come on and have your pokemon help out saving these Pokemon!"

The lava had stopped, but the shadow hadn't. Like a cloak of darkness, it fell down the hillside, and everything it had passed over has gone, as if it had purged from existence. A few older pokemon from the tribes returned. An Arcanine, a Typhlosion and a Magcargo. They helped to clear the rubble. <It...it can't be. The darkness....the Shardakk!> At those words, the mountain erupted again, doubling it's output of smoke and ash. A gentle snow of dust began to fall on the route. There was more shaking from the ground, and Matt reappeared, almost as though the earth had spit him out. Following him, magma began to hiss through the thin crust, followed by a tumultuous explosion from the geysers. It seemed as though the world was going to end... and there was just one small problem.
It was.

Nova let all her pokemon out (blaze, squirt, hunter, skyler, blade) try to get as many pokemon out to saftey!" she told them, Blaze stayed near Nova and the baby ponyta, calming it down. the others digging pokemon out "were not going to be able to save them all" Nova whispered saddly, she looked up to the shadows spilling from the volcano "its comeing to fast..." Novas eyes narrowed "...the darkness"

"You can't save them" came a voice behind the group. It was a tall-ish boy, identical to Nero in every way, except for the fact that he was wearing a suit, and had light from his eyes. Professor Sander!
He was hardly moving, and the energy coming off him could almost be felt. He just stood there, unscathed. "The Shardakk are unstoppable"
The Ponyta trotted up to him. <The WHO?>
Sander looked at them again. "The Shardakk are the oldest of the tribes in the Fiery Path. They were corrupted by evil, and turned into Shadows... They were imprisoned in the volcano with the Zodiax Guardians... Starsung pokemon, tasked with protecting the world from the Shardakk..." He turned to Nova, his eyes unreadable, beneath the glimmering light...

Nova's eyes brightened, the puzzel was slowly forming in her head, all the hints the lapras had given "so those pokemon can save us?" she asked "where are they?" instandly thought of Nero, back when they frist found out about Professor Sander. he might have fainted again and be on the ground somewhere. "wheres Nero!?"

"The Zodiax Guardians... are gone. They rotated with the stars, and Ho-oh was their supreme leader. The Year of the Rat was in the dominion of Raticate, The Year of the Ox was in the dominion of Tauros, The Year of the Tiger was in the dominion of Raikou, The Year of the Rabbit was in the dominion of Lopunny, The Year of the Dragon was in the dominion of Salamence, The Year of the Snake was in the dominion of Arbok, The Year of the Horse was in the dominion of Rapidash, The Year of the Sheep was in the dominion of Ampharos, The Year of the Monkey was in the dominion of Infernape, The Year of the Phoenix was in the dominion of Moltres, The Year of the Dog was in the dominion of the Arcanine, The Year of the Boar was in the dominion of Mamoswine... Slowly, they vanished, destroyed by the Shardakk. Even the legendary Raikou fell. The Moltres was summoned away by it's devotees at the Sta'ary tribe, and for the past cycle, only the Ho-oh remained. Now, the Ho-oh too has fled. There is nothing to stop them." He paused, and breathed deeply. "I'm keeping Nero at bay, if he dies, then I die too, and if you want to live, just run. There's no safe place to hide. Just keep on running..."

OOC: Ok, Nish, i'm sure we've gotten a few more pokemon out, Right?
BiC:
Banjin looked over at Nova and Sander, "I can not, in good faith, leave these Pokemon to die!" He growled, still pulling rocks off of pokemon.

By now, most of the pokemon were out, only a single growlithe remained. It yelped it's fear as the Shardakk approached ever closer, appearing as simply shadows in the earth. They shrouded the growlithe, and then he vanished. The Shardakk began their eternal march towards the group. Sander raised his hand, releasing a massive burst of energy, forcing the Shardakk back.
"The Starsung are dead. They've met the same fate as that Growlithe. Now, there's no-one that can stop the Shardakk. This planet is DEAD. Now RUN!" he snarled.

Banjin turned to Sander, snarling. "Listen to me, coward! I said I'm not leaving them to their deaths, and I'm sticking by it!"
Banjin and his pokemon ran over to the trapped Growlithe, and began to quickly pull the rocks off if it.

((The Growlithe's gone, there's no pokemon left.)) Sander sighed. For a moment, it was like it really was Nero's face again, then it was a mask, as always.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," he said... walking towards the Shardakk. He stood there, and put his hands out to the side, and it seemed as though they couldn't touch him. He was holding them back.
"I'm giving you this last chance. I'll hold them back. Find as many other pokemon as you can, then get out. I won't be able to hold them back for -AAAaghhgahH!!" A shadow had come across his eyes, and he wasn't Sander. His teeth had become fangs, and Sander was inhuman, like a feral beast.
"Mark this day, puny mortals. Today the Shardakk reign victorious." The shadow vanished as soon as it had begun, and Sander fell to the floor. The Shardakk still didn't touch him, but they went around him, heading closer to the four that stood there.

Banjin clenched his fist, seeing as he couldn't do anything more at the moment.
"Fine. Everyone, return!" His pokemon went back to their balls.
"Where do we run to?" He asked, deceptivly calm.

Sander didn't stir, instead, the Shardakk approached closer and closer. There was a bright white light, and the five of them suddenly appeared in a strange place, where the floor glimmered like a rainbow.
<Will you become my new Starsung Guardians?> asked strange and ethereal voice, Sander still unconscious, near death.
