The Gigginox paid no mind to Iris as it chewed on the heads of the Hydreigon, It tried instinctively to pull more in with the fruitless struggles of the Brutal Pokemon it was trying to devour. It stopped however as a sudden heat was shot into the mouth of the Gigginox. The pain was immense but it did not try to spit the dragon out as the Gigginox was suddenly feeling paralyzed again. No, this time it let loose a poisonous saliva around the Hydreigon that would stun it if it did not stay determined.

(Roll a 15 or higher in CON to avoid being stunned by the saliva. 1 turn stun)

It would then try and pull more of the Pokemon into it. Usually it liked it's meals frozen... But this was going to have to do... Still, it looked like it was struggling past the last series of pain. Maybe a little more indigestion would cause it to spit out the Pokemon. The eggs it laid was starting to wriggle now.

(Take 1d10 damage. The same strength roll is required to break out. Alternatively you can force more attacks down to break free... But that requires not being stunned)

Luckily Hydreigon was not, in fact, a teenage primadonna on her wedding day because she's a strong independent woman who doesn't need her parent's approval. She was, on the other hand, a psychotic murder machine whose first instinctual reaction to any stimuli was to KILL IT WITH FIRE. Iris pouted as Hydreigon appeared to fail to free herself, but she was confident the dragon could handle herself. The hissed in warning, summoning another bout of strength and...

...Fire. Draconic fire everywhere. From every pore and orifice. You do not want this dragon inside you, Gigginox. She's not even tender yet! Iris' eyes widened at the furious display of overwhelming power. "Wow, Hydreigon. Maybe I should call you Wyvernbane!" Iris mused aloud. She was quietly debating whether Hydreigon actually liked the name in her head.

The Gigginox's insides were overwhealmed by the fearsome heat of Hydreigon's attacks. The blasts of draconic fire breath was too much for the wyvern. It spit out what it had engulfed of the Hydreigon and slammed it's tail to the ground to and leaped with it's limbs to reach the wall to crawl onto the ceiling from. The monster stayed on the ceiling quite furious with the pain it just endured. It gave a powerful roar once again to threaten to deafen Iris and her Pokemon.

(Roll a 17 or higher in INT to not be stunned by the roar for one turn)

Meanwhile, small leech like creatures crawled out of the sac the Wyvern laid. It was almost like small larvae versions of itself... Which was exactly what they were. The Giggis lowered their stance as they gave their signal that they were about to strike. Shortly afterwards the baby Gigginox would leap at Iris and Hydreigon in pairs of two and start to slowly drain their health.

(Roll a 12 or higher in DEX to evade the Giggis. If you fail or are stunned, they will latch on and slowly drain your health with a 30% chance to poison each turn.

Iris and Hydreigon just sort fo flopped, apparently, in response to the extremely loud roar. Diminishing returns were feeling a little slow today, it seemed, and it left them unable to react as... Well they weren't aware of it anyway. So.

The Giggis latched onto Iris and Hydreigon and began draining their energy. They seemed to be enjoying their helplessness as their small teeth held tightly onto them. The Gigginox meanwhile made the opening on the Hydreigon that was needed. The stun was not lasting much longer and was bound to wear off in the next few seconds before they could hit. The Gigginox stepped towards the Pokemon and raised it's mouth as it let loose a noxious gas from it's body... This gas seemed very numbing and may have bad side effects if he did not evade it.

(Numbing Gas on Hydreigon. Will inflict Paralysis and deal damage if not dodged with a 16 or higher)

Meanwhile the Giggis continued to munch on the two. They surprisingly did not seem effected by the gas from their mother.

Regaining her senses, Hydreigon promptly shifted high into the air to avoid the numbing gas. Once again, she had no arms with which to pull the minis off of her. Meanwhile, Iris was attempting to use her arms to do exactly that.

p_1d20-1 (Iris' attempt at removing the leaches)

...Without luck. Iris' expression twisted in annoyance. The gigginox had just violated the unspoken terms of their engagement. Producing a pokeball, Iris promptly sent out Haxours. "Alright, Haxorus. Get these creeps off of me." Iris remarked, though to her surprise she couldn't hear her voice clearly. Hearing, in general, wasn't going so great for her right now. Huh. She supposed the loud noises must've given her some hearing loss. She hoped it wouldn't be permanent. Haxorus didn't require a command, though. Seeing the leeches, she already knew what to do.

Iris held still and Haxorus would proceed to expertly chop the leeches off of Iris with powerful swings of her head, separating both leeches from the trainer's body. "Much better" the girl stated, brushing herself off. Meanwhile, Hydreigon seemed to lose all control, ducking her head down and rushing in to try and violently slam into the gigginox in an aggressive and reckless manner. One didn't normally imagine Hydreigon as a physical bruiser, but she was surprisingly strong for a monster without any limbs.

The Giggis seemed to take the quite risky slashes from Haxorus pretty well all things considered. Regardless they were knocked off by the blows and fell to the ground. If one actually noticed them from before they were a bit bigger now. In fact the ones on Hydreigon seemed to be getting bigger as well. The two Giggis hissed before they decided to split jobs with one going for Iris now and one going for Haxorous.

(Roll 12 or higher to evade the Giggis once again. One for Iris, one for Haxorous)

Meanwhile the Gigginox missed it's gas and paused for a moment. This pause was long enough for the Hydra to bash it's head against the Gigginox's. The force of impact broke the strange purple parts on it's head as it stumbled back with a pained cry. The Gigginox started to turn red now that it was enraged with a loud screech. The Gigginox swung it's tail to try and slam the Hydra Pokemon in the general direction of it's allies.

(Roll a 17 or higher to evade the enraged tail slam. Does 1d20+5)

The Gigginox then focused it's noxious gasses in it's mouth for a good moment. It then fired a long stream of venomous gas at Haxorous and Iris, this would include Hydreigon if he was hit by the Tail.

In response to the Giggi's launching themselves at Iris and Haxorus... Well... Why dodge when you can CLEAAAAAVE?! The best defense was a great offense, after all, right!? Haxorus, Iris' personal bodyguard apparently, once again stepped in to cleave the babies out of the air as they lunged for the two of them.

Luckily, attacking everyone at once looked as if it could have worked a lot better for the gigginox. Everyone just sort of dodged in different directions and his attack suddenly wasn't so devastating. Even Hydreigon made it out looking only mildly worse for wear. The dragon was in a great amount of pain, but she was also a murdering machine and her pain was only making her spookier. The hydra leaned down and promptly scooped up a rock, crushing it between her jaws and swallowing the pieces to rejuvenate her strength. How a creature that ate rocks and metal for a living could get 'poisoned' was anyone's guess, come to think of it. Regardless. Hydreigon would promptly hiss at the gigginox, unleashing another barrage of her ranged attacks at it. She didn't seem to pay any mind to the leeches, who were more annoying than anything.

The Giggis were successfully cleaved by the attacks from Haxorous and fell back. The landed on the ground with a tumble and let out one small cry. They then  fell to the ground in a heap as their strength fell. The ones on Hydreigon meanwhile continued to drain at him while he handled the Gigginox.

The Wyvern himself on the other hand felt very blinded by his head's heat sensing organs being damaged. This caused to him just looking around before being pelted by Dark Pulses. The monster stumbled back and gave a pain cried. It looked like it was on it's last legs as it limped towards Iris before attempting a pounce. This failed however as the Venom Wyvern just ended up crashing against the ground with not much distance. He tried to create more gas but that was failing as well. The Wvvern relented before firing poisonous spit at Iris.

The princess clad girl yelped as she was taken off guard by the poison spit aimed at her. "H-what's all that about?!" Iris asked no one in particular, not that anyone but Haxorus could hear well enough to respond. Luckily, her pokemon didn't rely on verbal commands. Iris inspected her dress, pouting at it. She supposed she had to figure out how to wash a dress now. Iris began to question why the gigginox was singling her out, but quickly surmised that it was clearly because the gigginox had recognized her as a potent threat in her own right. Clearly this was earned.

Meanwhile, Haxorus continued to perform leech duty. This time, she moved to the aid of Hydreigon.

Dragons weren't known for their cooperation, but the two seemed to get along well enough for Haxorus to be careful whilst striking and for Hydreigon to hold still long enough for her to get a hit in. Both leaches were cleaved off and hydreigon emitted a mighty roar in relief, rising higher in response to not having to carry the extra weight. She circled around the struggling gigginox and began to pelt it with draconic fireballs, attempting to distract it with applied pressure.

Iris then produced a pokeball and primed it, the ball enlarging in preparation to be thrown. "Alright, Ms. Monster! It's time to see if you've learned any respect!" Iris announced, moments before whipping the pokeball at the downed creature. She had to see what kind of bond she could achieve with the monster before she could even consider adding it to her team. After all, what was the point of owning a pokemon that couldn't achieve perfect sync with you?

The Giggis fell off as they were cleaved by the tall dragon. They landed on the ground on their back and still ready to fight. The Gigginox was not prepared as two draconic breaths overwhealmed the Wyvern. The monster stepped back from the force and let out a cry. However, it fell to the ground as it was starting to feel too weak to move. Dodging that last breath took what was left of the monster.

The Giggis sinced their masters weakeness and dug into the ground to disappear. The Gigginox laid there in exhaustion for a few seconds until suddenly a ball hit it on the head. The creature was confused at what just happened. It was then that the monster was sucked into the sphere. There was a moment as the instincts of the creature was unfamiliar with these kinds of traps. Then there was quite a bit of shaking but the Wyvern was too weakened to fight back anymore. The Pokeball sealed with an audible sound.

Iris moved forward a crouched down to retrieve the ball. Ooch. She was nice and sore. Real sore. That was what a good workout felt like. Taking the ball, Iris smiled brightly at it. "Well hello! I wonder what kind of monster you are~" Iris remarked light-heartedly, glowing with joy. It was very easy for her to forge intense bonds with other pokemon, but only time would tell if the gigginox could actually synchronize with her as expected. The princess clad champ shrunk the ball back to it's idle marble like size and stowed it away in her dress, shivering in the sudden realization that she was not, in fact, immune to the cold here.

"I guess that means I win~! I better go tell the Casino Guy~" she went on to remark before merrily moving to return her tired Hydreigon and begin the steady trip downhill on Haxorus' back.

[Coolshaymin]

It would seem Iris has managed to complete her gamble after beating the monster. Now she just had to make a safe trip back to the Life Sphere to claim her reward... However, there was an ominous chill in the air as the outside felt even colder than before. And then as if to make worries worst, a loud roar echoed from behind Iris.

Back on the top of the cave was a face that would be familiar to those familiar with Unova Legends. It was the fearsome isolated dragon known as Kyurem who seemed to call out to Iris. The beast watched her and her Haxorous for a moment from the vantage point. The incomplete beast then jumped down and crashed onto the snowy mountain, sending a quake down towards them. Fortunately it was not the damaging kind of quake.

Still, Kyurem looked intently at Iris as he stepped towards them steadily. He maintained a stare that probably meant no good for the girl if she stuck around. She did do her job and take down the monster in the cave. If she escaped Kyurem she could still get her reward. It's not like they asked to defeat two monsters to be rewarded... Still, what if she was rewarded even greater for going all out and beating this beast too. Sure, one could just simply run away, but maybe the bravery of taking Kyurem down too will warrant a bigger reward... Iris had to make a choice quickly before the legendary dragon got the first word in.

...What was that, fourth wall? Iris, running away from a fight? ...With a DRAGON? What was the point of a reward if she didn't earn it?! Iris wasn't about to run; not a chance. If she never risked death, how would she grow as a person? How did you better yourself without throwing your life into horrifying ammounts of danger?!

You don't, because we're doing this the Iris way. "Kyurem!" Iris shouted, pointing at the creature. She smiled earnestly, a competitive flame glowing in her eyes. "I challenge you to an honorable pokemon battle!" Iris announced, Haxorus turning to face the legendary dragon.

Dun dun dun...

...

And then, Iris produced a bottle. It contained a fairy glowing brightly inside. She held it up proudly for a moment before ... wait what? It wasn't doing anything. Iris shook the bottle a bit in a rather rude manner, squinting at it in confusion. How did you use this blasted thing? She whined slightly before the realization hit her. It was in a drinking bottle. Welp. Bottoms up! Iris popped the bottle open and, to the fairy's great distress, promptly pressed it to her lips and literally drank the fairy.

"Aaah..." Iris remarked, smirking devilishly and pocketing the empty bottle. "Surprisingly refreshing!" she went on to remark snapping her fingers. Iris then produced ... Was that a CAKE? Well no, it was just a single slice of cake. She tossed the slice to Haxorus, who gobbled it up greedily. One would be left to wonder whether there was something to be said about Iris eating magical bugs while her pokemon dined on cake. ...Probably.

Kyurem paused as the girl challenged him to an honorable battle. A challenge accompanied by his proper name none the less. He stared at Iris for a second as if pondering her rather foolish request. After a few seconds he gave a loud roar as if in agreement to the dragon trainer's proposal.

Kyurem waited for them to perform their healing ritual. He was being rather curtious fo a powerful Dragon Type. They did say it was an honorable battle and that meant he could not just strike them while they were preparing. The Isolated Dragon Type had some class.

 Once they had their fill Kyurem stepped forward as glowing bright blue claws extended for his rather small hands. The freezing dragon slashed as well as he could with such stubby limbs at Haxorous. The long reach made up for his rather low arm flexibility.
