Kyurem managed to land his weight on top of the dragon that has tried to compete. Though he somehow managed to lift the weight off, Kyurem still struck him down with Blizzard. Kyurem looked down at the fallen dragon in victory before looking to the girl as she let a scream out. She has fallen too? But Kyurem has made an effort not to strike her... Were their bond that close this one's pain passed to her?... Did not matter anymore. Kyurem has proven himself stronger than their bond... Now he just needed to decide what to do.

Before he made a decision though he looked back to the girl. She was still talking and going on about not giving up. It was admirable but the two clearly reached their limits. Or at least so he thought before she rised and so did her dragon. But how?! They were both clearly struck beyond their limits yet they can still fight? Was their bonds overpowering their bodies' desire to fall to the cold?!

He was unprepared now as the Haxorous did a severely powerful blow to the Dragon's neck. If this was their world that may of been it but here he was still standing as he recoiled back. At least, he was standing at first. However, he was so weakened now the burns and poison were starting to take their toll. Kyurem lowered even further than normal as his body was feeling heavy. Could their bond really be strong enough to surpass him?

The empty Pokeball hit Kyurem and pulled him in. Of course, as a legendary of his strength, this Pokeball would not be able to hold him... Unless he let it hold him. Their kind had a knack for breaking free of these things with little effort. To the point even sleep pr being frozen did little to hold them captive to it. It was usually the legendary that chose their master and not the trainer... Unless it was a Master Ball but those things are cheap.

Anyway, the ball rocked back and forth as Kyurem struggled despite his strength... But he did not struggle enough to break free as he thought. Their bond was something simply amazing. No matter what he tried, their bond won through in the end. That symbol of friendship was astonishing in power. They would not give up no matter how terrifying it was... And that battle was the most intense he has had in a long time. It almost warmed up his heart that has been frozen ever since he was seperated and destined to be a husk of a former dragon of terrifying power... Maybe if they formed that same bond he could feel that power... But more importantly the warmth of the bonds he lost instead of this chilling isolation.

And with that the ball clicked as Kyurem made his decision to help Iris in any way he could.

Iris stood in the snow, watching the pokeball as it rocked back and forth before emitting a satisfying click. Her heart was beating a mile a minute, but the reality that she had caught a legendary dragon eventually hit her. " . . . We did it!" she blurted out, moving to collect the fallen ball. She then moved to embrace Haxorus, giggling wildly with joy. "You did great, Haxorus... You deserve a rest..." Iris said in exhaustion. If Kyurem were perceptive, he might notice that Iris indeed seemed to feel what her pokemon felt, and that it had taken a great toll upon her during her battles.

Iris returned Haxorus and brought Kyurem's pokeball up to her face and whispered to the pokemon within. Whether this was because she was tired or because she wanted to speak to Kyurem personally was unclear. Maybe a bit of both. "...Thanks, Kyurem. I have a feeling we'll become good friends~" Iris remarked, placing a kiss upon the forehead of the ball before stowing it in her dress. "We've gotta get to a pokemon center." Iris mused aloud to no one in particular. Hydreigon, Haxorus and her two newly caught monsters were in no condition to protect her from another powerful foe. Luckily she had one pokemon left who could help her get down from this mountain but it was becoming very dangerous to linger.

Sending out Dragonite, Iris held her hands up for the large pokemon to pick her up She clung to the pokemon for some warmth.

The path back to the Life Sphere should be a simple run now. The forest laid clear ahead to lead out of this frozen tundra and it's paralyzing cold. She caught two dangerous dragons and there was unlikely to be a third so the path back should be safe... right? Anyway, might as well be going back now.

... Though something was off. The atmosphere was a lot more chilling to the bone than before. There was even some ominous, oppressive feeling in this cold. There sounded like some... Cannon wheeling through the snow somewhere close. If one watched closely they might even notice a blue dragon skull at points. There was some deep almost snobbish laugh somewhere in the forest too. Was there something that has been watching her? There seemed to be tracks leading a different direction into the forest. There was some kind of mocking feeling to this whole atmosphere like she was being challenged. Of course, her whole team is not doing so well. It could be a better idea to leave this place now so she can recover her team... But this may be her only chance to teach whoever is watching her a lesson.

(Final Gamble:
Objective: Return now and ignore the creature in the woods.
Optional Objective: Find and defeat the creature that dares mock you.)

[Mari]

Iris was happily making her way down the mountain, returning on her way to the safety of the city to rest and heal after not one but two very hard fought battles, when the sound of snobbish laughter reached her ears.

She stopped in her tracks, her gaze snapping to the general direction of the dragon that probably didn't even know she existed.

"...Oh whaaaat? I hear you laughing over there, chuckletooth! C'mere. I've got some entertainment for you!" Iris snapped, apparently unable to resist even the slightest hint of a challenge. She began marching over to meet the mystery dragon, a pokeball in hand. Popping the ball into the air, Dragonite emerged to assist her in her mission to beat up literally everything on this mountain.

[Coolshaymin]

"Brrrrrooo ha ha ha ha! Oh, you poor ignorant child... You don't know a thing do you? How charming," a snobbish laugh resounded and a similar speaking tone came as the creature rolled out to reveal himself. "My name is Bonechill. I am something of an evil celebrity in certain circles of the Underworld," The large frozen dragon skeleton greeted.

"I have to admire your pride. Your comrades are severely injured yet you wish to engage with me. I would be honoring it if it was not so foolish. Still, you believe it capable of handling me when you struggled to handle the lesser beasts. I suppose I can at least humor your desire to perish however. Please, as your game ends, remember it is an honor to have it ended by my talons!"

The Final Gamble, Bonechill, has emerged!
Fight the shivering defeat and prove your strength and fortune.

Iris placed a hand on her hip and floated a finger up at Bonechill in a thoughtful manner, beaming good-naturedly. "...Well you would have to be something special if you could defeat me!" Iris mused aloud before shifting into a combative pose with Dragonite. They both acted in tandem, beginning to perform a mystic dance that seemed to hype them up for battle. "But that's not gonna happen! I've been saving the toughest for last, isn't that right Dragonite?" Iris asked. The giant pokemon nodded solemnly, neither girl nor dragon breaking eye contact as they professed their confidence. After all, what kind of pokemon trainer went into battle expecting to lose? ...Losing was for nerds--...and losers. And she was neither.

Dragonite's fist began glowing with an awesome power, the only warning of what was to come. "Maybe after we're done, you can chill my juice instead~!" Iris remarked in a haughty tone, striking a pose and punching at the air! In tandem, Dragonite lunged forward and attempted to strike Bonechill with his fist!

He then followed this up by throwing himself into Bonechill, attempting to drive the dragon back with his sheer strength!

"You have guts to insult me so, I admire that. However, foolish child, your time will not last long enough to witness that," The ice dragon scoffed at their dance. This of course lead to him getting punched in the face twice with severe power. The dragon wheeled back at the power of the other dragon. He straightened up before firing a wall of ice to pin Dragonite to the tree.

(Dragonite! Bonechill is attempting to pin you to a tree! Roll a 15 or higher in DEX to evade. Getting hit results in being pinned with a 15 or higher STR to break free... Not escaping in time leaves you open to his followup.)

"So, you want me to chill your drinks? Are you truly sure that is a splendid idea? How about I show you how cold my breath can truly be!" Bonechill replied before breathing a chilling breath at both Iris and Dragonite.

(Iris and Dragonite! Bonechill is trying to freeze you with his Ice breath. The frosty attack deals 18% damage and Deep Freezes you. Unlike normal Freeze, Deep Freeze does 2% damage to you each turn as well as freezes you solid. If Dragonite is pinned he can not dodge.)

Dragonite's wings opened wide and he abruptly slipped backwards as a gust of wind caught them, pulling him deftly out of the way of Bonechill's attack. It was as if he'd simply slipped across the snow, and yet he hadn't lost any control. Iris grinned smugly at this turn of events. "...If you think all it's going to take is some cold words to freeze the heart of a dragon..." she began, pulling back her fist in tandem with Dragonite.

"You're wrong, because our hearts are filled with fire!" Iris shouted, thrusting her fist forward in a symbolic punch! Dragonite followed suit, with a much less symbolic focus punch aimed at driving Bonechill straight through the tree he'd attempted to pin him too just a moment ago.

Dragonite then stepped forward and struck out with a flaming fist, attempting to score a followup punch with his other arm!

Bonechill fell back by the blows pushing the icy dragon around. He was starting to feel weak a little but he was not going to give up as his scales fell to the ground. "I think this show is failing to amuse me. I will be taking that, thank you. No reason to be so focused, hm?" Bonechill mused. Suddenly, Dragonite would feel a tug on his very soul. Almost as if Bonechill was trying to take something away from him... And that something being his ability to focus for Focus Punch.

(Dragonite! Bonechill is trying to Soul Steal your Focus Punch! Roll a 15 or higher INT to resist him. If you fail, you take 15% damage and lose your power to Focus Punch for 4 turns.)

"You're fire won't stay lit for long, child. I will extinguish it soon, but first a game," Suddenly, a bunch of flying skeletons flew above the battlefield and appeared to hold a large capsule between the 8 of them. They seemed to just float there harmlessly though. "Now it's time for a decision game, sounds fun right? I will continue to attack you while my minions do their thing. How you handle the situation is up to you. Let's see you prove you are not an ignorant child, hm?"Bonechill dared. The next moment he fires a frozen missile out of his cannon that flies straight at Dragonite! Anything it comes into contact with will explode into cyrogenicness.

...The gigantic Dragonite just sort of stared Bonechill down unflinchingly as the other dragon attempted to lay his hands where they did not belong. Bonechill would find a massive resistance to his attempt, almost as if Iris were spiritually reaching out and giving Dragonite's soul a niiice hug to keep it from being snatched away. He then once again leaned back and slid across the ground with the force of the wind catching his wings. How could such a big pokemon move like that?? (...I've got a much younger girl in my life.) Dragonite remarked, displaying that rare dry sass in response to Bonechill's theatrics. He then lunged in and attempted to teach the dragon a lesson, his first glowing with a powerful white aura!

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's Focus Punch; Does 28% ... if it hits.)

Unfortunately, it looked like Dragonite was unable to close the distance between himself and Bonechill after pulling off that second miraculous dodge. He was, however, close enough to make a follow-up attack capitalizing on his momentum. Dragonite went on to lunge out and attempt to grab Bonechill's base!

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's Submission; Does 30% damage and has a 50% chance of paralyzing)

If successful, he would literally lift Bonechill into the air, flying right past the capsule above them before performing a very hard flip upside down and rocketing straight down towards the ground!

...Or rather, straight towards the crystal. Dragonite was going to try and pile drive Bonechill right into that capulse! Meanwhile, Iris took several steps back as she watched. There would be a large wave of snow if the capsule didn't somehow stop the dragons in their tracks from the force of the impact and she didn't want to get caught in it, especially if they knocked the capsule out of the air. Who knew what it might do?

Bonechill quickly wheeled back as Dragonite made to Focus Punch him once again. However, he was not fast enough to dodge the grab Dragonite went for. He was pulled with the Dragonite as they went for a little trip right for... His capsule he had his skeletal minions deploy. "Well... This is not going to end well..." Bonechill stated as they collided with it... And caused a massively chilling explosion to both of them. The damage chilling both of their cores severely as they were forced to take the explosive cyro bomb he was intending to use on Dragonite and Iris.

(Dragonite! You have broken the capsule and severely damaged yourself and Bonechill from the explosion. You both take 45% damage. And Bonechill is stunned.)

[Mari]

Dragonite crashed to the ground and Iris' eyes rolled into the back of her head for a moment, the trainer staggering backward unstably before managing to regain some of her composure. A soft groan escaped her and she shook her head. "Dragonite's pain... I can feel it too!" she announced to no one in particular, rushing to the fallen dragon's side to check on him as he got back up. The massive dragon was badly hurt by the attack, but he was no jigglypuff either. Not even a nasty wound like that could keep him down, not alone anyway.

He lunged forward into a stagger, flapping his expanding wings just enough to get him off the ground as her violently drove the stunned Bonechill into a tree, shattering it into many pieces. (That was a respectable attack. It's a shame it wound up being used against you.) He remarked, pulling a fist back and attempting to drive his flaming fist into the monster dragon!

Bonechill got hit hard by Dragonite's followup Dragon Rush. It was only natural since he was still dazed after that crash collision with his Cyro Capsule. The skeletal frost dragon got impacted upon the tree and punched with fire as several of his scales flew off from impact. He now looked horrible for ware as his body was rapidly deterriating. He glared at the dragon in what appeared to be fury. Well, it looked like he had no choice but to use THAT now.

The frosty dragon opened his mouth and suddenly a massive hurricane of cold came out and tried to impact Dragonite if he did not back off. The chilling cold hurricane would blow Dragonite at rapid speed and freeze his body if it caught him. Nailing him to a tree for several hands to catch. If it missed, well, Bonechill was quickly running out of options to continue this fight.

(Dragonite! Bonechill is trying to blast you into oblivion with a Soul Tornado! If you are hit you get dealt 45%  damage and frozen. This is the desperation attack of Bonechill and will deal massive damage and send you hurting but he can only do it once. Roll a 16 or higher to dodge)

The massive pokemon was ... Well he wasn't ready for that, that's for sure. The cold drove him back and froze his body to a tree, his arms raised to his face as if to protect himself from the onslaught. His wings seemed to wither a bit as they froze. Ouch. Talk about unpleasant. Iris gawked for a moment in something between shared pain and disbelief. Dragonite was frozen? But... Who was she supposed to send out in his place if he didn't start moving?! Iris closed her eyes and stomped a foot in protest. "No!" Iris shouted at the top of her lungs, pointing to Dragonite. "You can't give up now, Dragonite! We're almost through this!" Iris went on to protest, pointing a finger dramatically. "You have to break out of that ice! ...Now!"

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's... Succesful freedom roll.)

A low, gruff sounding growling noise could be heard from within the ice, the fixture trembling as Dragonite summoned his massive strength. The injured and furious dragon shattered his icy bonds in an explosion of ice crystals, emitting a battle cry as he defied Bonechill's attempts at holding him down. He was a freaking dragonite! He didn't have time to lay around while Bonechill ate his pretiful friend. (...An impressive blow, but not quite enough to end me. I hope you're ready for me to go all out.) Dragonite remarked, grimacing with newfound mental clarity. There was nothing like pain to get his head in the game. Dragonite's fist lit on fire with intent. It was go time. He rushed Bonechill, attempting to drive his flaming fist into the powerful dragon.

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's Critical Fire Punch; Does 23% Damage and has a 100% chance of burning)

Iris cheered enthusiastically from the sidelines, her heart aflutter. That was sick! Dragonite wasn't done yet however. Utilizing the sheer force of his attack hopefully knocking Bonechill off his guard and the momentum from the attack itself to carry him into a follow up, driving his opposite arm into Bonechill in an effort to press into him with fiery force.

p_1d20+5 (Dragonite's followup Fire Punch; Does 15% Damage)

...And then Dragonite shifted into Bonechill to perform a quick thunder punch uppercut into his body! The finisher move was quite stylish, though whether it could actually bring Bonechill to his non-existant knees was another story entirely.

Bonechill felt his body rapidly decaying as punch after punch of Dragonite's fists impacted. The scales from his body steadily fell off and he was feeling really weak. He was almost an outline of his former self and he was furious. He was burned and paralyzed and he was out of tricks. There was only one thing left he can do.

"Well, it has been fun. However, I am afraid I won't give you the satisfaction of ending me. It is about time I parted with you. Farewell!" Bonechill claimed as his body glowed a bright cyan blue. In the next moment, a chilling explosion emitted from him that threatened to blast Iris and Dragonite into oblivion. They had to get out of there fast if they wanted to stay warm. Afterwards there would be no trace left of their enemy.

(Dragonite and Iris! Bonechill is a sore loser and is trying to heavily damage you with a suicidal explosion! Roll a 16 or higher in DEX each to flee away in time. Dragonite can shield Iris to protect her from it but he will take double the damage)
