The river was still right now. It wasn't rushing wildly like it usually did. In fact, the sun was out and bright, it's lazy rays showering all with warmth who was out near the forested water's edge. But underneath the peaceful waves, at the very depths, it was cold... And swimming and slithering in the water... Had a heart that was even colder. Red reptilian eyes were narrowed in the murky liquid. This was his home... He owned this river. Sure, the other water pokemon shared it with him, but not one was close to his size and strength. He was in his prime, this gyarados... Full of immeasurable power. He was the physical and living example of a typhoon. One that ancient sailors prayed to whatever gods they had in vain hopes to live... And soon... Someone was going to encroach on this water demon's territory.

Yuri: Level 9
He could sense it; a cold malice lurking beneath the lazy river. The calm surface was a lie- a mask, hiding the true dangers bellow. Yuri could feel it, the power, the anger, the pure destructive force, and it made him shiver. The negative emotions picked up from the horns atop his head gave him a stomach ache and he wanted to get away. Of course, that was never going to happen- not with his trainer.
"Omigosh! Look guys! Look how cam the water is! Don't you just wanna jump in!? Come on- let's go swimming! Come on!" Megumi Hinagiku raced up and down the shoreline, pointing at nothing and quite thoroughly disturbing the peace. "Come on guys, let's go swimming!" Taking off her sundress to reveal a swimsuit underneath, the young coordinator-to-be neatly folded her clothes and placed them far away from the water. Her swimsuit was a blue one-piece with a skirt at the hip that made it look like a sundress, then, with her sunhat still on, Megumi jumped into the river, unaware of the danger below.
<"Megumi! Please, get out of the water! Its dangerous in there!"> Yuri the Ralts floated above the ground and zipped back and forth in worry. <"Come back!"> Beside (or below) him, Kika hopped from foot to foot. The Torchic knew that when Yuri said something, he meant it, and as much as a ditz Megumi was, he was still worried for her.
Hearing her Ralts call out from the shore, Megumi quickly swam over and stood up once the water was shallow enough. Ginning madly, she scooped up the hovering Pokemon and hugged it to her chest. "Awwww! My wittle baby Raltsy-Waltsy crying for me!? You shou cuuuute." She hugged him tighter; Yuri gagged. "Does Yuri wanna go in the water with mommy? Is that it? That's it, isn't it?"
<"NO! LET GO! GET AWAY FROM ME WOMAN!!!"> Yuri cried out and struggled to get out of his trainer's iron hug of death.
Megumi just smiled more. "You are shoooou cute, Yuri! You want mommy to help you get in the water? Hm? Let mommy help her Yuri." Taking Yuri in her hands, Megumi threw him in the air towards the river. "The best thing to do is to just jump in!" She shouted after him.
<"NOOOOO!!! CURSE YOU, MEGUMI, YOU-" Yuri was cut off as he hit the water.

Torva, level 82
Torva, at leats for the moment, was content. By content, silently raging his hatred and pain through his snarl instead of destroying everything that moved(and didn't...) But he felt a pulse... A disturbance... An unwelcome one too. This place, which he resided... Whose ice cold waters radiated in the bottom of murky depthes... That reflected his soul so much... Was his... Now, the reptilian eyes widened, then narrowed as they looked up... They couldn't see him... But through the water, his extra sharp senses allowed him to feel prey in the water, just the slightest vibration. Arching his back in rage, Torva slowly rised towards the poor trainer. The water started to become unstable. The waves slapped viciously into Megumi, most likely soaking her... But that wa snothing compared to the terror of the enormous shadowy figure right beneath her... Getting bigger as it got closer.

Yuri: Level 11
<"Megumi!"> Yuri shouted, panicked at the sight of his trainer about to be attack and probably killed. In desperation, the Ralts unleashed a blast of Confusion to propel Megumi out of the water and back onto the safety of the shore. A wave of exhaustion hit him, as moving an object as big as a human was tiring to the young Ralts, leaving him vulnerable out in the middle of the river.
"YURI! Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! SOMEONE! HELP!!!" Megumi ran up and down the shoreline, screaming her head off.
<"Your Pokeball! Use Yuri's Pokeball you ditz!"> Kika chirped as angrily as he could.

Torza, level 84
Then the surface of the river exploded. Coiling, saphire scales glinted duly from the blocked out sun as they rose 15 something feet from the surface. But red eyes glowed slightly as a serpantine roar pierced the sky. Rain started pouring down as the massive beast leered down at the trainer who on shore, water dripping from Torza's lower jaw, as he split yet another roar. The terror on Megumi's face brought satisfaction to the demonic sea monster. It made him feel powerful... Curving his yellow lips back in a smile, massive white canines poking underneath as he growled in a deep, echoey voice, "<Hello food...>" He didn't seem to notice the ralts that was drifting dangerously close to his massive neck... yet...

"EEEEEEEIIIII!!!" Megumi shrieked and dropped onto the ground, terrified. "ITS SO GROSS!!!" In panic, she started throwing clumps of mud and rock at the Gyarados. "Go AWAY!!!"
Kika: Level 11
Without even thinking, Kika jumped in front of Megumi in a protective stance. <"Go away, you! I'm warning you- Go AWAY! Leave Megumi alone you bully!"
Yuri: Level 13
Mustering his strength, Yuri blasted the Gyarados with Confusion, then Kika fired an Ember attack at his face.

Torza, 86
Torva didn't appreciate this at all. The clumps of grass never reached him, but the rocks bounced harmlessly off his scaly hide. To this, he felt slight amusement at the human's courage. Despite her obvious weakness, she attempted to fight alongside her enslaved weaklings. When the torchic blew an ember, the small, yet fiery projectile glanced off Torva's face, in wish he merely twitched in slight discomfort and annoyance. As for the confusion, a sharp headache pierced Torva's mind for about a fraction of a second before fading... A deep snarl rumbled in his throat. "<I commend your bravery small ones. Regrettable you are enslaved to such a... foolish bag of simpering meat. But this part of the river... belongs to me... And when I think about it, you would hardly make a meal... My attacks would merely obliterate you. So leave while your ahead... And when you still have one..."

Megumi didn't understand a word the giant water Pokemon said, so when he started talking, the Pokemon trainer screamed even louder and higher in pitch. "GO AWAAAAAY!!!!" Getting up, she started running around before tripping on her own supply bag. "GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAAAAY!!!" She started taking things out of her bag and blindly throwing them at the Gyarados. A hairbrush, compact mirror, make-up case, a couple Pokeballs, her Pokedex, hand-fulls of hard candy and chocolate, and finally the bag itself, went flying through the air at her enemy.
Kika: Level 13 Yuri: Level 15
Yuri used the last of his psychic power to levitate out of the water and over to the shore where he collapsed. Kika hurriedly rushed over to him and tried to wake him up. <"Yuri. Yuri, wake up! Yuri- Megumi is throwing a hissi-fit and all the contents of her traveling bag! Yuri- wake up!">

The gyarados submerged under water from the pokeballs. The devious human was trying to enslave HIM!? Ignoring the other contents, Torza burst from the water again, red ball of crackling energy forming in his agape mouth. "<NOW I'LL INCINERATE YOU!>" The red eyes were crazed... That thing in his mouth was a hyperbeam...

"EEEEEEIIIIII!!!" Megumi ran around some more, mostly in circles, and screamed at the top of her lungs. "OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD!!!" She knew a Hyperbeam when she saw one and right now she was seeing one charge-up. "Kika- Ember!!!" She shrieked.
Kika: Level 15
Compelled to obey, Kika unleashed another Ember at the Gyarados, the sparks harmlessly bouncing off the giant Pokemon. <"You bully! Pick on someone your own intelligence! I mean, really- what kind of Pokemon picks on mentally-challenged humans!?"> Kika unleashed a second ember, and a fourth, and a fifth, until he was almost out of steam.

Torza, 88 Umbra, 49
(Don't worry, I'll make a bio for them all later)
Something leaped out of the trees at that instant. An alakazam.... The strange pokemon stood in front of Megumi and her two starters. Quickly raising his two spoons calmly, narrowed eyes immensely concentrated he started summoning energy. A blue barrier twinkled in existance just asthe huge beam of energy roared towards them. That barrier happened to be a protect, and instead of covering and burning everything away, the beam split into smaller beams and richocheted into the air, exploding with a vicious bang, the sky turning red for a split second, then faded. The alakazam went to his knees, panting for breath.
Torza glared, eyes still enraged, but he looked much more tired, panting for breath with steam coming out of his nostrils and mouth. The air still occasionally crackled with red energy, the only thing left from his attack. He was regaining his energy... Ready to unleash even more of his rage.
An umbreon shot out of the bushes, rings glowing around his tail, forehead, and limbs. His feline-like red eyes were wide and worried. "<Whoa! That is one pissed off gyarados, and believe me, thats saying something!>" Umbra turned to the alakazam. "You okay Theo?" The alakazam slowly got on his stubby legs, his claws flexing in the dirt thoughtfully as he bstudied Torva from the banks of the river, the sea serpent snarling. "<Indeed... It's mind is ravaged with hate... making it even more unstable than usual... Is Silver here yet? We need our whole team here to make sure the human gets away safely.>" Umbra glanced at the gyarados calmly before turning back to Theo. "<Yeah... I don't think it's going to make much difference though... it's much stronger than any of us here... Keep on the defensive my friend... You think you can keep casting protect? I'll do everything I can to help.>"

Kika: Level 17 Yuri: Level 19
Kika was thoroughly surprised at the arrival of the two Pokemon. Both were obviously much stronger than they were, and both obviously knew what they were doing. <"Whoa. Who are these guys?"> Kika breathed.
Yuri was too stunned to reply. Under his mask, his eyes sparkled with admiration. It was obvious this Alakazam was a powerful psychic, completely deflecting the Hyperbeam and saving all of them. <"Will I be like that someday?"> The little Ralts wondered.
Megumi just screamed some more.

Umbra,51 Torza, 90 Umbra's long black ears twitched slightly and his red eyes narrowed. "<Not that I can blame her, you know, with the bloodthirsty gyarados and everything, but can she shut up just a little bit? Or leave, so we can leave?>" the evee evolution growled impatiently. Theo raised a yellow ridge over his eyes in thought. "<Apparently she is suffering much mental stress at the moment... It seems... We have to drive this beast back ourselves unless help arrives. Trying to calm her down leaves us open to attack. Without my protect... it would be catastrophic. Why don't you aid me before we die?>" Theo stated bluntly. Umbra growled as his eyes turned a shimmering blue. "<I'm casting hypnosis now! Not working very well.... He is strong enough to resist it for the most part...>" Then, a red flash leapt into the air. It was a female scizor, about 7 feet tall, the insect-like humanoid had a steel-like armor for a shell, colored a bright, blood red that gleamed in the low light. On it's back, were two pairs of wasp-like wings, which were blurring as she flew through the air, eyes narrowed in concentration, her claws that her species were noted for flexed as her form suddenly shimmered, making several copies of herself... Double team... Umbra grinned. "Looks like Suchi is here... Than that means..." The umbreon smield in relief as he saw his trainer slowly walk out, blue eyes never leabing the gyarados. He was male, looked to be about 16. He had a fair complexion, almost pale, with a blue shirt and jeans. He wore a pair of sandals as he walked cautiously on the grass near the banks of the river. what was shocking was his hair, unruly... And white with a slight shine to it. His expression was one of total calm, even bored, as he watched the gyarados attempt to take his scizor down, snapping at her viciously, but only managing to fade through her illusions. This was a defense though... There was no point trying to drag this battle out with the sea serpent, it was much too strong. The idea was to keep it distracted long enough for Umbra to pull off a successful hypnosis...

Megumi heard the approach of more people and opened her eyes. Looking up, her breath caught in her throat. An older boy with messy white hair had appeared with an assortment of powerful Pokemon. Megumi felt herself staring... And blushing furiously.
Kika: Level 19 Yuri: Level 21
Kika hopped forward a few feet. <"We'll help too! EMBER!!!"> The Torchic aimed all he had at the raging Gyarados. A flash of inspiration hit Yuri. Forming a hunch, the Ralts used Teleport to warp directly on top of his enemy's head, then, gripping the blue crest as tightly as he could, Yuri channeled a Confusion attack directly into the Gyarados. It was like the worst terror-ride he'd ever experienced, and his enemy was giving off so many negative emotions it strengthened his urge to puke.

Torza, 92 Umbra, 53
Torva blinked once at the slight pain it caused. Like a dull ache really that vanished and was forgotten just as quick... By the grace of Arceus, or just dumb luck, it managed to confuse the massive water pokemon. Growling ferociously, the reptilian eyes had a dull, glassy look to them. The gyarados started to writh and snap, at anything that moved, including himself.
Theo raised an eyebrow, stroking his "beard" in thought. "<Impressive>." The alakazam commended. With a red flash, Suchi grabbed the panicing ralts, and reappeared on the bank, gently lowering him to the ground. "<And very stupid...>" The bug pokemon said in a soft, raspy voice, which was surprising concerning her extremely hard exterior. Her look was one of disaprovement, as well as an impressed wonder. Her species saw such things as incredibly brave, things to be honored for in battle.
Umbra smirked, feeling reassured by his trainer's prescense as he glanced at the torchic. "<I think you can cool it kid. We got him now, now we have a chance to get away.>"
Torza paused for a while from his evident thrashing, finally managing to clear his head. He ached all over... From his own attacks! He glared venemously at those that stayed on his banks, especially the newcomer.... No more messing around... His throat started swelling, almost becoming a bulge. Gently lifting his dragon-like head back before he flicked it forward, torza sent a massive torrent of water, shooting like a cannon shot towards the group.
Then the silver haired trainer spoke. "Theo... Use protect." His voice was emotionless and slightly hoarse, just... Calm... Calm was probably needed in this situation. The alakazam rasied his two spoons, summoning the protective blue energy shield right as the hydropump rammmed into it. Although it absorbed most of the impact, the alakazam was starting to get dragged back, leaving a dirt rut from where his clawed feet were being skidded back. It was only with the aid of Suchi that he managed to deter it. Water flowed everywhere as the attack dwindled down, and then Silver glanced at Umbra. "Umbra... Focus Power..." The umbreon nodded... Dark, whispy energies starting to flow among his sleek and well toned form, his rings golden rings and red eyes glowing with energy. "Suchi, double team... Distract the gyarados. But keep your distance." The scizor nodded her head as she sped off, annoying Torza as she did before with guerilla tactics and illusions.
