The waves crashed uneasy against the shores. Their crests glistened in the light of a three quarter moon hanging over the islands. It had been pleasantly quiet for a while. Something many were starting to appreciate but to others just made them more antsy. It had been so long now and not a single ship had graced the horizon. Ricardo sighed, then hummed quietly. The point of a dulled sandy stick of driftwood half gripped in his hand as he faintly drew in the dirt overlooking the long stretch of sand that was the Secluded Beach. Tired eyes glossed over the reaches of ocean before them until suddenly a splotch fired some recognition in his brain. "Ey..?" he huffed, putting a hand over his brow as if to block strong rays of light from obscuring his sight. There was something steely there. Barely a blip in the distance but definitely something, maybe even boxy, cutting through the waters beyond the whirling pools. The old man gasped, dropping his stick to instantly grabbing a handful of dirt to throw into his finely maintained dishevelled mane. He cleared his throat a couple times while making to stand and head over to the sprinkle of campfires kept healthily roaring for just this purpose: SOS. Well, and maybe to keep everyone warm as they slept in the nearby lean-tos. The cackling howl of the self-appointed crier wasn't an unusual noise for the castaways by this point. Though, as crazy and seemingly annoying he could be, ol' Ricardo had never been so crass as to disturb everyone's sleep before. "On the horizon! I spy something silvery steel with a cut angle over yonder!" Whoever was on watch was first to have their attention caught by the actor. Following his point they would find nothing obviously interesting. However, the flicker of fire was a good way to lose some night vision. Each stepping away from the light they scanned the rolling waters, trying to catch any signs of hope in the lower ebbs of the distant waves. But they were looking wrong. The expectation of something beyond the whirlpools left them blind to the slip of current that had just disturbed one of the nearest swirls. A whistle of wind picked up laced with a eerie song. After a moment of still it all erupted. The air shook with a rising wall of splattered water as something jumped from its depths. A familiar cry enveloped all other noise and drew all eyes onto the diving pokemon hovering in the air, fingered wings outstretched as if preparing to grab at everything on the beach.

As night had settled in, Penelope was trying her usual to go to sleep again. However, tonight was a bit different. Maybe it was the air pressure, maybe it was the warmth, or maybe it was the barely lit moon being covered on and off by the moving clouds, which casted a moving brightness onto the ground. She could sort of hear the captain speaking, but his voice faded as he went farther away from her resting spot. She quietly got up to avoid waking everyone, and then headed toward the beach where she last saw the Captain was heading. She saw a huge splash of water from the middle of ocean, and then a loud battle cry that would likely wake everyone up. Well, there was no point being quiet now. In front of her eyes was Lugia, whose lack of color and illumination in the dark sky made it hard to see sometimes. She was still waking up from her disturbed sleep, so she sent out a Pokeball without seeing clearly who was inside. "Come on out!"It was her newly caught Dwebble. She paused for a bit before making her command. "Uhh....Sand Attack? Use Sand Attack!" Her face was ready for a yawn, as she was still sleepy.

Selenia is staying up late to enjoy the night sky and cool breeze. The ocean salty smell along with the other fragrances of the island is still something she is having troubles getting used to. As much as she enjoys being around water, it is usually around fresh water bodies and cooler temperatures. Her relaxation is disturbed by the alarm raised by someone running through the camp. She turns to see the man yelling something. Off in the distance she scans in the general direction and sees nothing. It isn't until she hears the cry of the Pokemon when she sees it. To her disbelief, it is the legendary Lugia. Once her shock is done, she sees her new friend Penelope facing it but being too far away, Selenia can't see what Pokemon she is using. Selenia then runs up to where Penelope is at and sees a dwebble. "You did say you caught one of those bug rock types, didn't you. I think I will introduce you to one of my other flying types and the one who I need to work with the most. Come on out, Beaker, and use sand attack on Lugia."Beaker shows up and stares up at the legendary Pokemon. She then turns to Selenia scared out of her pidgey mind. It takes a nod from Selenia to Beaker in encouragement for Beaker to start kicking up the loose sand towards the direction of Lugia.

Farther from the shore than the rest of the stranded people, Oberon's eyes flickered to star after star that appeared up in the cloudy sky. The dark storms that had been assailing the beach had mostly subsided, leaving ample time for the trainer to begin documenting everything they could get their hands on inside of the treasured notebook at their side. "And they thought I was insane for getting waterproof bags for it. Who is insane now?"
The shouts did little to deter them from their laser-focused writing, but it did attract Lochlan's attention. The squirtle wasn't eager to go and laze around all night and day like Oberon seemed to. They barely even talked to the humans that were on the island beyond a few curt sentences, leaving the more extroverted turtle a bit socially starved. So when the commotion was becoming more dire, Lochlan gave a disgusted 'tle!' and dashed away from Oberon's little hideout of wreckage parts. "Loch! Lochlan, come back!" Oberon called out, dragging themselves out of their hovel with notebook and pokeball in hand. "I'll drag Yeenoghu out if you don't, she knows how...to..."
But what the baby Poochyena knew was lost in their throat, standing side by side with their partner to see an absolute legend. What looked like a primal deity of the sea bellowed out in it's siren rage, and other trainers were beginning to stir from their slumber in order to defend the camp. "Loch?"
The squirtle looked up at Oberon, a fire in his eyes. "Tail whip. We can't do much but we can do this." Oberon pushed up his glasses with a moonlit shine, snapping out their pen to begin writing furiously as the Squirtle darted out to the fray itself.

Terror seized the boy’s heart as he woke up and tossed his pajamas on over his head. Zaiden was in such a hurry to see what the commotion was about, that he slipped his pajamas on backwards. He fumbled around the silky cotton outfit, trying to find the zipper that should have been on the front as it rubbed against his back and gasped, before flipping his outfit back around on his body and zipping it up. Please, don’t let it be some sort of monstrous beast! He’d never go on another cruise ship again to save his life! This was supposed to be a fun getaway – something that he could enjoy even if he didn’t much enjoy the company of others. What stood before him like a colossal giant of the olden days was a giant bird the size of several airplanes put together. Zaiden’s rich brown eyes widened in sheer terror. He fumbled around inside of his bag in a panicked fright and released a small white fish with bright orange splotches on his scales. The Goldeen flopped into the large body of water nearby and swam over to the gigantic Kaiju with a determined look. This wasn’t his first rodeo and this time he would be ready. Kingyo began flapping his tail desperately at the Lugia, hoping to lower the Kaiju’s better senses with his move.

Somehow, Trixie had discovered a store of marshmallows in the hut on the beach, and with some of the salvaged supplies from the cruise ship, she and a gaggle of her Pokemon were enjoying a snack of roasted s'mores by the shore. Among them, Citrine was the first to notice the cry of the rambling old man. Alarmed, he began to squeak at Trixie. She paid it little mind until a sudden crash of water nearly caused her to drop her s'more. "It--It's back?!" She couldn't believe her eyes. Stuffing the rest of the snack in her mouth with a single bite, she gulped heavily before rallying her Pokemon back, away from the looming Lugia before her. "Everyone! Prepare for battle!" Citrine was not one to shy away from danger; he had braved fearsome foes before, and he would do so again... even if this foe happened to be the most fearsome thing he had ever laid eyes on. He stood his ground, his eyes widening and glowing with an eerie light as he attempted to meet the Lugia's own with a piercing stare. Around her, Trixie noticed some of the other trainers on the beach starting to stir, with a few teens and their Pokemon also joining the fray. "Anyone got a plan?" she called out. "I know we can beat this thing, but we have to work together!"

Lei was sitting and watching the actor, as she had figured he was, keeping an eye out for the many campfires he had going in the faint hope that someone would fly over and see it. Lei thought it was no use, if this was a frequent route to fly by they would have seen airplanes and flying pokemon a long time ago, but they had only seen wingulls and pelippers. Some had aired the thought of trying to catch one and use them as messenger bird but no one had done something about it, or at least hadn't announced any success with the project. A girl had found some other use of them as she was sitting and roasted what looked like Marshmallows. Where she had gotten those were a mystery for Lei, she was not interested in them as she was sure they had to be from the boat and therefore had been soaked and now full of salt. Something else got attracted by the fires, and Lei just got to dare hope they might get rescued now, when the Lugia crashed the party and squashed all hope. "You'd almost think its the one stranding us here, so it could torture us," Lei grumbled as she got up on her feet. She smiled grimly when the snack eating girl asked if anyone had a plan, and she looked around to see what they had to do with. Of course it fell on her shoulders once again to lead the ragtag group of whoever showed up to try help. "Looks good everyone! Keep weaken it and will finish this in now time with no casualties!" She called out to everyone, "I'm setting up a Light Screen, so don't worry. We had no trouble last time it was here, so we can do this again!"She let out Einstein and looked around in the hope of seeing that one strong trainer who had come around the other times and really offered a battle to the legendary, but she couldn't see him around. She recognized Penelope, who seemed to have gotten another friend so she let them be, she knew Penelope had had strong pokemon in the past, so hopefully that would work as well this time. "Light Screen Einstein! Hurry up!" She snapped at her dottler at her feet. The bug's light circles on her back flickered as she stared at the huge white pokemon they were facing, soon a shield shimmered in the air around her. "It needs to cover everyone you dimwit!" Lei hissed and Einstein's eyes grew wide but the wall slowly extended and spread out. "Come with me," she said and the dottler struggled to keep up with her trainer's quick walk while keeping the huge screen up and making sure that everyone was safely behind it. She had never done something like this before! "Hey, can I get you to come a bit closer to us others?" Lei said to Oberon when she reached him, "my dottler isn't strong enough to cover this big of an area and I'd hate for it to fail or you not to be included," she said bluntly. Einstein sent a strained smile to Lochlan, she was under a lot of pressure with this task of hers.

The golden-haired Beauty Trainer was lying underneath her leaf shelter located further away from the shore and the majority of others, who are also stranded on the secluded island. Aphrodite was trying her best to fall asleep and get her beauty rest. However, her once peaceful mind was full of racing thoughts. She loved taking exotic trips across the world, but this secluded island has proven to be more of a nightmare than a sweet paradise. She has tried her hardest to enjoy this little vacation, but the good things about it have started to fade away and she often found herself thinking about all of the other activities that she has been missing out on by being trapped on the island. A soft sigh escaped from her lips as she attempted to close her warm, amber-hued eyes for a few seconds. However, the moment she felt her body starting to relax a bit she found herself becoming distracted by a loud cry from afar. The unexpected cry caused Aphrodite to sit up and glance around her surroundings before carefully making an exit out of her shelter. At first, she did not notice anything too usual until she heard even more commotion being made not too far away from her place. "I don't know what is going on, but whatever it is it does not sound good," she whispered to herself before picking up her bag and taking out a Poke Ball. "Aurora!" She called out, summoning her Alolan Ninetales. The beautiful and majestic ice blue and snow white fox let out a soft and feminine howl as her piercing azure eyes gazed up at the moon. The silver moonlight shone down over her body and cast an ethereal glow around her body, which caused her gorgeous coat to shimmer like an ice crystal with tiny icy blue particles twinkling from her elegant crest and tails. Aphrodite and Aurora soon arrived on the coast, only to see a group of trainers and their Pokemon facing off against a beautiful, but frightening Pokemon, who seem to be full of rage. "Aurora, let's see if we can't calm it down with a Confuse Ray!" Aurora let out a howl as she flared her flowing nine tails in an elegant manner and each tail summoned orbs of icy blue energy around before firing them towards the Lugia.

"Ooh, a Pidgey!" Penelope exclaimed when Selenia appeared next to her. "Yup, I caught this Dwebble at the beach right before I met you." She then tried to observe the young Pokemon, but honestly it was kind of dark. Before she could get a good look when the moonlight hit them the right way, the legendary Pokemon created a Whirlpool that sucked the Pidgey into the water. The young bird was chirping and trying to get out, but it was unable to. "It's a brave little bird, I'm sure it won't be too long for Beaker to like you," the young trainer chimed. She then looked around the field. She saw some new faces and old faces. Perhaps more people were stuck in this island, or they were previously unseen ship wreck passengers who found their courage to face the comfort of the shipwreck survivor camp. However, she noticed someone eating, and from the smell of it, roasted marshmallows. "I don't have a plan, but I'm planning to ask for some marshmallows. I want some." She bravely asked, moving a few steps toward the marshmallow girl. When Lei came around with her... strange bug Pokemon and Light Screen, Penelope shouted a Hi to catch her attention. "Lei! It's me! We talked last time when Entei came!" She wanted to ask about this strange Pokemon's name and stuff again, but decided maybe it's not a good time. Her Dwebble quietly followed her, hiding inside her rock when needed. Penelope noticed the bug wasn't standing still when she was kind of walking toward the marshmallows. She almost forgot about her Pokemon, when distracted by familiar faces and marshmallows. "Oh, Dwebble!" She exclaimed. Her mind was now thinking that it was still here. "Let's go for a Smack Down on the Lugia!"

Lei raised a hand and sent Penelope a quick smile as the other woman greeted her but she didn't stop on her way towards Oberon. She didn't have much time to chitchat and she was sure Penelope would be fine on her own, there hadn't been any problem last time at least. Lugia's attacks came as strongly as expected and Einstein gasped as she felt the attack on the light screen, but it did its job and the dottler managed to keep it up even though she was shaking from the effort. Lei frowned and watched the hit pokemon closely, she smiled grimly when both stood up again, clearly bruised and struggling but they still stood up. "You're welcome," she mumbled as she was well aware she was the reason they were still able to fight, even though the small ones probably wouldn't be able to do much in the long runs. She would need to keep the motivation up for her fellow trainers though, if they gave up hope they would probably try to run off. "Time to see if we can convince it to leave us alone," she said to herself as she looked at the lugia and let out a geodude in front of her. The rock type looked around curiously and didn't seem bothered at all by the sight of the huge battle in front of him.

Sara charged out onto the beach. "Again? On this beach? Why are all these monsters here?!" Sara murmured to herself. She could see that others had already started battling the monstrous pokemon, and Sara once more attempted to throw herself into the fray. She had tried during the previous attacks, but had found herself overwhelmed by the huge pokemon and slinked away in the background as others carried on the fight. She reached to her side and pulled a Pokeball off her belt, and tossed it forward, joining the others in battle. "Avery, come on out!" Sara shouted. "Quick, lets get its defenses down! Use Leer!" Sara commanded, pointing towards the Lugia. "Lets try to stay back and out of the way, but we gotta help out if we can!" Sara said more quietly to Avery. Sara gives a polite smile and a wave to anyone who acknowledges her.

Selenia is in utter shock at her Beaker being swept away in a whirlpool. She had heard of the power of the Hoenn legendaries but seeing a Jhoto legendary up close is hard to describe. She isn't sure if her water types would be able to get out of the whirl pool created by Lugia.
"Beaker, try using a tackle if you can get out of the water enough. We may have to rely on some of our other team members that we have plus all of the trainers here on the beach. From what I'm overhearing and noticing, some of these trainers have done this before!!"
Selenia tries her hardest to call out to her drowning pidgey. Part of her thinks only kyogre would be able to handle this Lugia but Selenia doubts the legendary Kyogre would be interested in the battle unless Lugia some how managed to aggravate it and this is even if Kyogre would be in the area. At the same time, the power of two such Pokemon would make it almost deadly for the humans on the island.
"So Penelope, by looking at how some of the other trainers are handling themselves, this doesn't seem to be the first time Lugia or something similar has appeared. Is there any explanation for this to happen? Did the cruise somehow make Lugia mad?"

"It may be in a territorial frenzy." Oberon spoke up suddenly Selenia, moving over closer to behind the Light Screen. But their hands never stopped their furious writing, nor did their eyes look away from the magnificent creature currently attempting to wipe them all out. "You see this with Pokemon both young and old that have a territorial personality, especially in some daycares." Lowering their notebook for a second, the distaste of being close to others was shoved fully into the back of their mind at the animated enthusiasm on display.
This was, officially, the best day of Oberon's life. And the worst.
"Of course, that's speculating Lugia has territorial routes and tendencies. The myths and legends of Sinnoh keep right where they are on paper, pencil, and rumors. But to see something like this up close and in person...it's almost too much to describe."
Oberon broke from their spellbound awe to see Lochlan staring at him. The Squirtle had posted themselves near Einstein before the pokemon was recalled, clearly waiting for another order. Glancing towards the other pokemon's own plans, they stammered out, "Loch, if they're confused, you should have an easier time. See if you can hit it with a Water Gun."
The squirtle nodded appreciatively and twirled himself towards Lugia to place himself in front of the Geodude, spraying a jolt of water towards the rampaging Pokemon.
