Incineroar growled as he felt his muscles tense and stop briefly...but he quickly regained movement. Still, that was a powerful psychic attack...guess Legendaries weren't called that for nothing.

"Wait, what?" Moon raised an eyebrow at the giant bird accusing her of...something. "I barely even know you! All I've been trying to do is find my friends, my family, and get back home! Why is that greedy?!" she yelled. Looks like the Articuno touched a very sensitive nerve on her. She looked mad, eyes glowing a bit as nearby rocks began to float around her, hair seemingly growing a bit as it flowed.

Incineroar snarled at the Galarian Articuno, looking quite peeved himself...but then, when the Psycho Cut came out, he smirked and prepared to...not dodge the attack at all. In fact, he seemed to welcome it with open arms...

p_1d20+5(Revenge, absorbs incoming damage and adds it to the next attacks if successful. Success, next attack deals +30 damage.)

The Psycho Cut hit Incineroar, but rather than flinch, the wrestling Pokemon burst into flames, his body now alight with sparks of fire. He chuckled. "Incineroar! <Now that's the stuff!>" he said. "Cineroar! Incineroar... <Hey, frozen wings! I'm getting real tired of you actin' like you know my sis...>" he said, as he darted forward, arms in a cross motion again. "Incineroar... CINE! <So I'mma tell you just how much you know...JACK!>" he declared, slamming into the big bird once again, erupting into fierce flames.

p_1d20+5(Cross Chop. 22+30+5= 57 damage!)

Moon, taking a moment to recompose herself, stretched her hand out. "Nice one, Cypher! Now hit 'em with the Brutal Swing!" she called, a bit of aggressiveness slipping in her voice.

"Incineroar! <Gotcha covered!>" Inicineroar said with a wide smirk, advancing towards the Articuno again, turning his body as much as he could...and he swung his upper body really quickly, slamming himself onto Articuno's...wing first, then on his body? Guess he was trying to cripple the bird. "Incineroar!! <Get lost, you overgrown blueberry Fletchling!!>"

Duh duh dada. Dadaduh monomonom dadaduh. Charging my attac-OH GOD! The Melmetal lifted his leg over the first thunderjolt. Leftover metal goop seeming to conduct into it pretty well. This was further backed by the second jolt meeting it's mark and shocking the behemoth quite well for such a weak attack. It  continued charging though.  Before it could launch it's plan the fire scorched the metal behemoth. It shuddering as the flamethrower seared it's body. It glared at Charizard just in time to be dropkicked. Though Charizard did not seem to land a solid blow on the nonsolid exterior. As Charizard moved to pull away to fly he would be stopped by metal goop pulling on him as the creature stared for a moment before yeeting Charizard at the ground with a rough dunk.

(Charizard's Fly is lower than the 15 roll needed to dodge Superpower. Charizard will take 35 immediate damage. However Melmetal will take 5 more damage from physical attacks and deal 5 less damage with physical attacks for 2 turns)

The Melmetal clanged it's fists as the electricity surged into it's cogs.. The Hexagons sending a static wave that got more intense with each clap. With one last fistbump it's hexagons collided in a thunderous clap as it discharged all it's electricity all throughout the cave. The discharged lightning hitting everywhere haphazardly but no less potent.

(Everyone! This includes Red and Ash, Melmetal has used Discharge! This takes two turns and two actions to use but deals 50 damage and Paralysis to all it hits. Roll a 15 or higher in WIS to dodge)

The electricity sounding the metal monster vanished as it took a moment to recover from it's own attack. It seemed a bit more rigid while it recovered.

Articuno raised a brow at the technique getting absorbed. "I do not know anyone on this mountain named Jack, no-KAW!" Articuno squawked as it was hit by the Crosschop. They just barely recovered in time for the Brutal Swing. Eyes widening as it was sent flying into a nearby mountain, falling down as it was covered in snow. Gloria stepped a bit forward and tilted her head. "Well, that was eas-" she began before a glow erupted and the avian shot into the sky. It's body glowing with a powerful energy as the winds in the area began to blow extremely hard. Though even with the air as active as it was, something felt... unnaturally still about it? Like a constant pressure rubbing against you. "I was going easy on you before but my patience has been tried! You think you can lie to me, human?! We may have not met in person but I have seen and heard your name many times in this area!"

"Hold the bloody hell on! How can you be sure this is the same Moon you saw?" Gloria asked abruptly, standing in the way.

"... Explain, other strange human."

"Come on, this world has duplicates of people. She might not even be the girl you're after."

"....." The Articuno glared at Gloria for a moment before looking to Moon. The intenseness of his stance did not change but everything felt... paused somehow?

(All durations and cooldowns are paused until a side attacks)

"... Even if what you say holds water, I am skeptical to believe there is *two* girls of the same name and appearance on this planet *both* with powers Ultra Beast in nature. Seems a bit farfetched, wouldn't you agree?... So tell me the origin of your powers and why you are here. I will choose to believe your story or not. If you wish not to tell me, I will take that as a confession of guilt. If I trust your story... I will tell you what I know. Deal?"

bUt8Jx7dp_1d20+1 (Pikachu's WIS)

The power of this move was something Tailwind could not help them avoid. The massive blast exploded hard on Pikachu...until it just washed around him...

...yes, for Pikachu drove his tail into the ground, running as much electricity as he could into the earth. But alas, while it protected him, he could not direct all the blasts...

p_1d20-1 (Ash's WIS)

"Rgh!" That....that was a massive wave. He could use his bubble to cushion the blow, but...

...no, his Charmander is still out, even though he's not involved in the fight.

"Charmander, return!!" Recalling his Charmander...

BZZZZZZZ!!!!

"RRRRRRRRRGH!!!!" ...Ash didn't have enough time to react to the blast as he was caught and electrocuted full force.

"PIKAPI!!!" No! Sure, Ash has been electrocuted so often...usually by Pikachu himself; that one was aimed to KILL! He could be...!

Though looking a bit charred, Ash waddled a bit with a bright smile. "No worries...! It h-happens...all the time! E-Even if it burns, m-makes my body feel numb...and the b-b-brain damage...and the b-b-b-brain damage...and the b-b-b-brain damage..."

Glancing at Red, "...oh hey, older me, when did you get here?"

"Piiii..." Yeah, he's delirious, especially Red being adult him (that would not sit right with the fans), but Ash has taken electric attacks before. He can shake it off, right? ....right?

Thankfully, he can as he shook and smacked his head. He still feels numb from the paralysis, but at least he doesn't have to move for now. "I-I'm okay! P-Pikachu!! Zap em, then use S-Surf!!!"

"PIKA!" Now we're talking! The rodent darted at the metallic monster, shooting more electric darts out of his cheeks...

"PikaPikaPikaPikaPikaPikaPika!!!" ...But then he rushed harder, dragging electricity like a net to scoop up as much snow as possible. So much that he was pulling a large wall of it that rapidly melted into a raging wave.

Surf: [Heavy WIS DMG 20%] Pikachu uses his electricity to form the water particles massively to create a large wave while making a light construct of a surfboard to ride on. 2 turn cooldown and 30% chance of those hit Soaked.

The remaining electricity formed into a constructed surfboard for him to ride the wave. "CHUUUUU!!!" Before he let the electricity push the wave into the metal monster.

p_1d20+1 (DMG: 20)
p_1d100 (Soaked SUCCESS!!)

If this causes the Melmetal to get wet...well, he hopes that Red has an Ice type on him. Normally, Ice-type attacks are not very effective against Steel types...well, at least in the Pokemon World, and not Li, the Soaked status will fix that. That may help Red do some serious damage to this Pokemon.

Soaked The victim is soaked with water or some other water-like liquid. This lowers their DEX mod by 1 and gives them a 5% damage vulnerability to cold and electric attacks, but also grants a 10% damage resistance to heat based attack, which will cure this status. Duration determined by flat roll.

...seriously, it seems that the world of Li just turned off the Pokemon typing advantages/disadvantages rules. Trainers are still used to their own rules, but This World just turns those rules...well, more like THREW away those rules, kinda. Oh well...at least fights are somewhat even now. It's not like Ash even relies on typings...kind of.

“Zar?” Charizard snorted in confusion as his he was somehow gripped and grabbed by metal goop. The flying fire dragon shared a stare with the molten metallic creature before bracing for the inevitable yeet into the ground by wrapping his wings around himself.

“Charizard!” Red gasped, doing little more than flinching at the familiar sight of his Pokémon being slammed into the ground. The wing cocoon coughed out a determined Charizard who was more concerned with getting back at Melmetal for wasting his Fly than anything. You don’t become the very best like no one ever was without taking your fair share of heavy hits, and both trainer and trainee knew that it’s not the damage you sustain, but the damage you endure.

That chance will have to wait a little longer, for the time it took for Charizard to get back to his feet was enough time for Melmetal to charge it’s next attack. While Ash had to good sense to recall Charmander, Red and his fully evolved fire started deigned to attempt to dodge lightning.

(n8q__9tvp_1d20+2 Charizard's Dodge of Discharge. Success! Faulure. Takes 50 Damage and is Paralysed.)
(p_1d20+4 Red's Dodge of Discharge. Success! Faulure. Takes 50 Damage and is Paralysed.)

“Rizard!”...But if he couldn’t dodge metal, what made him think he could dodge lighting?
Stepping out from behind Charizard, Red wished he was quick enough to pull Ash behind with him. Oh well. You live and you learn. Speaking of learning, Pikachu learned to surf pretty well for an electric type. He might have an inner Alolan Raichu after all. 
But hold on, this meant Melmetal was soaked. Any fire based attack from Charizard would only evaporate this advantage.

“Get back.”As much as Charizard would insist he still had a fight in him, Red made the executive decision to recall him back into his Pokéball. In his place, Red unleashed a Pokémon opposed to Charizard on the heat spectrum.
“Go Lapras!” He tossed another Pokéball into the air and down flopped a gigantic plesiosaurous sea turtle, splashing cold water.

“Lapras!” the Transport Pokémon cooed as she swayed her neck, stretching and cracking it, happy to be freed from the confines of her ball and eager for some exercise. A cursory glance back at Red and Ash, to the side at Pikachu and ahead at Melmetal was enough for her to lock in and squint, having determined this was a battle.

“Use Freeze Dry!” Red started her turn by commanding.

“Lap-RAAAAS!” She cocked her head back and gushed a plume of minty fresh ice breath at Melmetal.

Freeze Dry – The user rapidly cools the target. This may also leave the target frozen. This move is super effective on Water types. Lapras blasts a target with a cold beam of ice energy. This attack has a 80% chance of endusing Frozen status escription. This attack has a 2 turn cool down. (Medium Wisdom Attack; Does 15% Damage)

(p_1d20 Lapras' Freeze Dry @ Melmetal; Does 15% Damage and inflicts Frozen)
“Now use Ancient Power!” Taking advantage of Melmetal being unable to move, Red issued a second command.
“Lap!” Calling upon the ancient wisdom of her ancestors, Lapras drew in the humidity of the air around her into her horn that glowed with the radiance of an illuminated icicle, then charged forward, sliding on the ground made slippery by her entrance to ram into Melmetal like a jousting knight. “Pras!”

Ancient Power – The user attacks with a prehistoric power. Lapras engages in a surprise Ground Type attack, the details of which are shrouded in the mystery of his training. (Medium Strength Attack; Does 18% Damage)

(p_1d20 Lapras' Ancient Power @ Melmetal; Does 18% Damage.)

"Incineroar?! Inci-- <You kiddin' me?? How is that even fair->" Cypher began to protest against the Galarian Articuno's 'generous offering', but Moon put a hand before him.

"No, it's alright, Cypher. It's worth a shot, anyway." Moon said, turning to face the Articuno, staring the bird down, her gaze resolute. Hopefully this would get the bird off their backs... "Fine then, I'll tell you my story." Moon replied. "You might want to sit down. It's a little long."

"Cineroar... <They better listen...>" Cypher said with folded arms and a scowl.

"So then... My name's Moon. Born in Kanto, but my mom and I moved to Alola. I went through the Island Challenge, met my 'ohana and my friends like that, then it turns out the mom of one of my friends has an obsession with Ultra Beasts and I had to go inside Ultra Space with the help of Ne--Solgaleo to help my friend stop her, and just when I was about to deal the finishing blow, this strange...shockwave knocked me out cold. When I woke up, most of my 'ohana, my friend, and her mom were gone." she pauses for a bit, catching her breath a little. "...I found Solgaleo, but they were weakened after that. We couldn't go back to Alola. The best we could do was go through other Ultra Spaces and hopefully find one that was closer to home...and we stood there for a long while. That's probably why you can sense Ultra Beast powers in me, my body changed while in these Ultra Spaces and now I'm kind of...part-that, I guess?" Another pause, though this time the breaths felt more...shallow, rushed. "As for how we're here...well, we were trying to find another Ultra Space, and then...something must've interfered with our trip, because suddenly we're here." she said with a shrug.

"Cineroar. <I can attest to that.>" Cypher suddenly piped up, looking a bit cross still with the Articuno, but he kept going. "Incineroar. Cine, roar. <I've been with her throughout this whole situation. Whatever this whole place is, we weren't tryin' to get here.>"

"Well...that's my story. Does that match up with this 'me' you know?" Moon asked. If it did somehow, she was gonna find this doppelganger and give her some choice words...and maybe some psychic smackdowns. She was pretty miffed about this whole ordeal being connected to what sounded like a malignant version of herself.
