Erma
Many rough-looking and mechanical Volcarona appear!
Stacey
"HILBERT! HILBEEEERT!" Luxio yelled, running up to the tower ruins. Ribbon, his new Scream Tail, jumped lighting behind him. The two seemed to be bonding a little bit as they looked for the Unovan. 

It didn't take long to spot the Paradox Pokémon, however, searching for the same Unovan. "AH- no wonder the nerd was scared of these things." The trainer murmured, backing away to hide behind some of the tower's rubble.
Matthew
A light crash and a bash, there he is! Rolling down towards Luxio and coming to a stop at his feet.

"Hey." Hilbert rasped. His jacket slightly dirty and face covered lightly in dirt. 

"Big. Big fucking bug."
Stacey
"God damn dude, settle down. Did they see you? We need you to be careful so you don't get hurt any more. I brought a first aid kit from the mansion in case you were injured." 

Meanwhile, Ribbon had come very close to the Unovan trainer, its yellow doll-like eyes staring into Hilbert's soul. Trying to read him.
Matthew
"It saw me earlier. But. I got out of their sight" Hilbert moaned. Getting up and back into his feet. 

"There's a mansion?" He asked. His Samurott, Sir Haydn sliding down gracefully and marching right beside his trainer. 

"Oh- This is Sir Haydn, by the way. Big water dog."
Stacey
"Good, good. Any injuries I need to know about?" He asked, pulling out the kit. 

"Uhh, Sigford Mansion? The staying place of those invited to be here??" They said, confused. Did Hilbert never go to the mansion?

"Nice! Sir Haydn, meet Ribbon. Fucked up little ancient Jigglypuff." The Scream Tail instantly started yelling at the Samurott, using its voice to try and intimidate the giant starter.
Matthew
"I'm- fuckin' stupid I guess." Hilbert said, taking off his cap in embarrassment. 

"Also no, other than my soul leaving my body from being scare *Shitless*, I'm alright." He said, dusting off his cap.

Sir Haydn meanwhile just stared at the ancient Jigglypuff. Not intimidated one bit. He just sneezed.
Stacey
"LMAO no worries, dude. Did you fight it at all? See if it was weak to anything?" He asked, nodding and putting away the kit.

Ribbon, realizing Sir Haydn isn't scared of it, stopped and just stared. It seemed to have gained respect for the giant water dog.
Matthew
"No- I just. Saw it and ran for my life" He said, chuckling as he returned his cap to his own head. 

"It's supposed to be some sorta- flintstones volcarona right? I doubt it's gonna have the same weaknesses as the volca's we have now since- well- yaba daba doo. Y'know"

Sir Hayden nodded at Ribbon, sniffling from his sneeze
Stacey
"Correct, Flinstones Volcarona. And from what I saw on my way here, there's some kinda Jetsons Volcarona too. Looks like a futuristic version." Luxio said, glancing over the rubble they used as cover and pointed to the Iron Moth. It seemed to be scanning the environments for any threats.

"Since there's two of them and two of us, I bet we can take them both down. I can take down the ancient one, since I already have experience with the ancient Paradoxes. You down for the future one?" He asked, looking at Ribbon. It seemed to be hungry for battle.
Matthew
"Sounds like a plan to me. Any weaknesses that George Jetson has?" Hilbert asked, digging through his bag and readying any possible STAB pokemon. 

"Well- Water maybe. Water and Robots don't mix well." He answered his own question. 

"Other than that- anything else I should know about?" Sir Haydn glanced over, gritting his teeth. A soft growl emitting from the massive water dog.
Stacey
"Oh yeah, that thing was RADIATING heat when I snuck by it to get to you. I'd bet a million bucks it's fire type. But it also smelled... Acidic? Toxic? Is that the right word? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing it could be a poison type too." He noted, scrolling through his recent memories. 

"Nothing else, but I think we can take care of this thing. Ribbon, I know you're wanting to battle, but I'm going to need you on standby in case things go south. Okay?" The Paradox nodded, glaring at the two Paradox Volcaronas. Rifling through his bag, Luxio pulled out a colorful Pokéball, sending out his Archeops. 

"On three. One, two, THREE!" Luxio jumped from behind the rubble, running into battle.

``The battle between Hilbert and Luxio vs. Slither Wing and Iron Moth has commenced! Double Battle Begin!``
Matthew
"Chums up! Let's do this! Sir Haydn, Brick Break!"
Stephani
`Superpower on Ribbon! IT MISSES.`
Jeremy
Not Very Effective...

`"Processing... Damage Taken. Executing Sludge_Wave.EXE."`

The Iron Moth shoots out a wave of sludge towards the two, but it COMPLETELY MISSES Haydn and fails.
Stacey
"Ribbon, Psychic Fangs!"
Robert
`Psychic Fangs! Miss!`
Matthew
"Sir Haydn, Aqua Cutter!"
Andrew
`Aqua Cutter! YEOWCH! THATS GOTTA HURT!`
Stephani
`Flame charge! SUPER YEOWCH...`
Robert
Ribbon FLEW back, taking damage from the blast. Now aggravated, it ran forward and tried using Psychic Fangs again.
Jeremy
`"Processing... Damage taken. Executing Bug_Buzz.EXE."`

The Paradox sent a wave of tiny, mechanical Volcaronas at Haydn. BIG HIT!
Andrew
"RAAAAAAHH!!! RRRRRR!!! RAAAAAAGGGG!" Sir Hadyn swung and swayed. Getting the mechanical pests off him with a gush of water clearing his skin.
Jeremy
`"Success of Bug_Buzz.EXE noted. Running protocol once more."`

A smaller, much less powerful swarm attacks Haydn. Much weaker hit.
Robert
Enraged, Ribbon curls itself into a ball and charges at Slither Wing.

`Gyro Ball! Miss!`
Andrew
*GRAH!* Sir Haydn soon fell to the ground. Not out, but absolutely down.
Stephani
`THIS FUCKING THING KEEPS MISSING. BLESS YOUR SOUL, SLITHERWING...`
Jeremy
`"Opponent's condition: UNCLEAR. Executing Sludge_Wave.EXE."`

The wave of sludge billows towards the two, but clearly misses Haydn and sprays across the wall.
Robert
Curling up in a ball and rolling towards Slither Wing at almost mach speed, Ribbon LEAPS out of the ball and bares its fangs, glowing a psychic pink. 

`Psychic Fangs! DIRECT HIT!`
Stephani
`AND ITS DOWN. I REPEAT THIS FUCKING THING IS FINALLY DOWN FOR THE COUNT!!!!`
Andrew
Sir Haydn gets up, runs towards The Iron Moth. `DRAGON TAIL!`
Stacey
"EXCELLENT! Great job, Ribbon!" Luxio pulled out a Pokéball, throwing it at the Slither Wing. One shakes, two shakes, three shakes... SUCCESS!
Jeremy
`"Processing... Damage Taken. Critical Condition. Initiating Power Saving Mode. Executing Sludge_Wave.EXE."`

The Paradox sends another, smaller wave at Haydn. Weak hit. 

`Iron Moth is now catchable!`
Matthew
"GOGO GADDGE BULLSHIT!" He pulled out an untraball as he HURLED it towards Iron moth! 

One...

Two...

Three...

GOTCHA!!!

"LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!-"
Stacey
"YOOOOO CONGRATS!" Luxio exclaimed as he ran towards Hilbert, hugging him almost to the ground. "WE BEAT PARADOX BITCHES-"
Matthew
"YEAAAH!!!" Hilbert yelled out, hugging Luxio back as he jumped. Well, he didn't gain any air. But you get the idea.

"WE GOT THEM! FUCKING- HO-RAAAH!"
Stacey
"HO-RAAAAH!!" He called, feeling like he was the best in the world in that moment. "Dude, I've conquerer two ancient Pokémon! And you've conquered a futurusitc Pokémon!! We're fucking AMAZING, dude!"
Matthew
"We're fucking unstoppable now!!! Well- maybe we are but RIGHT NOW WE'RE THE BEST!!!"
Stacey
"We NEED to show the group chat! Quick, send them out so we can take a picture!! By the way, what are you gonna name yours?" He threw out the Pokéball, sending out the Slither Wing and using a Max Potion on it.
Matthew
"GOTCHA GOTCHA" *He sends out Iron Moth and takes a picture*
Stacey
He snaps a picture, then looks to Hilbert. "It's been an honor battling alongside you, dude." He offers his hand for the other to shake.
Matthew
He shakes Luxios hand, a smile on his face. 

"It's an honor too! Holy shit that was fun-"
Ray
``SCENE OVER! MAY THESE TWO'S PATHS CROSS AGAIN SOON!``
John
Scarlet was riding around Sigford Forest, searching for a very specific type of Pokemon. She and Koraidon had faced them many times, so she wasn't exactly scared- just confused. How did pokemon from the past make it here? Was it possible that more Koraidon could appear? There were a lot of unanswered questions.

She hopped off Koraidon as it returned to its ball, looking up at the ruined tower and whistling a tiny bit. "Gotta be something around here. Feels like a spot ancient pokemon might get nostalgic about."
Stacey
During Scarlet's pondering, however, a bustle could be heard from above. The starbound trainer was running down from the ruins, his clothes dirty from an attack. "HEEELP-" He called, ducking behind some cover to keep them himself out of sight. 

Making eye contact with Scarlet, the contest star waved her down, making a 'shh' motion with his finger. "There's a whole group of Slither Wings up in the center. I caught one for myself and a swarm almost cornered me. Got any ideas?"
John
She nodded, keeping low as she walked over. "I've worked with these pokemon before- They tend to be attracted to light. But... It's not dark enough here for that to help much." She peeked from behind cover, narrowing her eyes a bit. "Flying types are our best bet when it comes to taking those things out. What do you have on your team, amigo?"
Stacey
"Psychic types also seem to work well, considering Ribbon took down one of them." Luxio pointed, gesturing to the Scream Tail he had caught only hours before. Said Scream Tail was staring into Scarlet's soul.

"But if I really need to use Flying types, I have an Archeops and an Oricorio." They said, holding up two painted Pokéballs with their respective colors.
John
"Psychic works well, too- and Scream Tail is just about as strong as they are, so we'll probably be fine." Scarlet nods a bit, rummaging around in her bag to retrieve a PokeBall. "As for me- I'll probably use my Gallade. Until I've caught a couple, anyway- then I'll probably just sweep with Kilowattrel. Alright, so, how do we wanna do this?"
